Objective: To investigate the hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic effects of an ethanolic extract of the leaves of Ficus racemosa in both normal and alloxan induced diabetes in rats. Materials and methods: Blood samples were collected from the retro-orbital plexus under light ether anesthesia before and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 h after the oral administration of 100, 200, and 300/kg doses. Blood glucose was analyzed by glucose-oxidase method using a visible spectrophotometer. Results: Graded doses of the alcoholic extract when given to both normal and diabetic rats produce significant reductions in blood glucose at the 6 h after ethanolic extract administration (P < 0.001). The effect was found to be dose dependent with all treatments at the doses administered. Conclusion: The present study clearly indicated a significant antidiabetic activity of the leaves of Ficus racemosa and supports the traditional usage of fruits by the Ayurvedic physicians for the control of diabetes.Keywords

The Parkinson's disease is mainly distinguished from other diseases based on the key feature that is tremors. Oxotremorine induced oxidative stress is implicated as a common pathway in development of Parkinson's symptoms like, tremor, salivation and temperature variation. Hence Oxotremorine-induced tremor model was used to evaluate antiparkinsonian drugs. Different extracts of plant of Cassia tora such as, petroleum ether (200mg/kg) p.o., methanolic (200mg/kg) p.o. and ethyl acetate extract (200mg/Kg) p.o. were used to investigate antiparkinsonian effect on oxotremorine induced Parkinson's symptoms in mice. Procyclidine, an anticholinergic, antiparkinsonian drug was administered as a standard drug at a dose of 5mg/kg p.o., 1hr prior the administration of oxotremorine (0.5mg/kg) S.C. Methanolic extract at 200mg/kg p.o route of administration decreased (p<0.05) Parkinson's symptoms, while petroleum ether extract (200mg/kg)p.o and ethyl acetate extract (200mg/kg)p.o shows moderate action. This study suggests that cassia tora is a plant with possible therapeutic value for Parkinson's disease.Keywords
