Therapeutic role of Rauwolfia serpentina in minimizing the risk of glycosylation and associated biomarkers in experimentally induced type 1 diabetic mice.

Present work investigates the effects of hydro-methanolic roots extract (HyMREt) of Rauwolfia serpentina in type 1 diabetic mice. Mice were divided into normal, diabetic, negative and positive controls (I-IV) and three test (HyMREt doses) groups (V-VII - 50, 100, &150mg/kg). Allocated treatment of each group was given orally for 14 days in overnight fasted state. Percent change in fasting blood glucose (FBG), body weights, body tissue weights, hepatic glycogen, total lipids, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA
