Objective: The current investigation analysed the effect of combination of standardized hydroalcoholic extracts of Asparagus racemosus (AR), Centella asiatica (CA) and Plumeria rubra (PR) on glibenclamide (GB) administered in experimentally induced diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Wistar rats. Material and methods: DN was induced in laboratory rats by alloxan monohydrate (160 mg/kg i.p). Rats were given the combination of AR, CA and PR called as ACP (100, 200 and 400mg/kg) along with GB (5mg/kg). Group 1-4 were control, diabetic control, standard GB (10mg/kg), GB (5 mg/kg), while groups 5-7 were given ACP (100, 200 and 400mg/kg) along with GB (5mg/kg) once daily for 30 days. Blood glucose, serum insulin, uric acid, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, superoxide dismutase (SOD), albumin, malondialdehyde (MDA), and kidney histopathological examination was done in all experimental animals. Results: ACP along with GB improved the derailed glycaemic status, renal biochemical, oxidative stress parameters in animals. Co-administration of ACP (400mg/kg) with GB (5mg/kg) significantly (p<0.01) decreased BUN, creatinine, uric acid, significantly increased (p<0.05) SOD, significantly (p<0.01) decreased MDA, significantly increased (p<0.05) serum insulin when compared with diabetic control. Histopathological observations corroborated with biochemical parameters. Conclusion: Enhancement in the effectiveness of GB was observed with ACP (400mg/kg). Thus, ACP confers protection by improving renal, oxidative parameters and the restoration of morphological abnormalities in the kidneys.

Blood glucose, serum insulin, uric acid, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, superoxide dismutase (SOD), albumin, malondialdehyde (MDA), and kidney histopathological examination was done in all experimental animals. Results: ACP along with GB improved the derailed glycaemic status, renal biochemical, oxidative stress parameters in animals. Co-administration of ACP (400mg/kg) with GB (5mg/kg) significantly (p<0.01) decreased BUN, creatinine, uric acid, significantly increased (p<0.05) SOD, significantly (p<0.01) decreased MDA, significantly increased (p<0.05) serum insulin when compared with diabetic control. Histopathological observations corroborated with biochemical parameters. Conclusion: Enhancement in the effectiveness of GB was observed with ACP (400mg/kg). Thus, ACP confers protection by improving renal, oxidative parameters and the restoration of morphological abnormalities in the kidneys.
