Abstract:

This study is aimed at assessing the effects of Ficus asperifolia plant leaf extract on diabetic-induced albino rats. Diabetic animals were treated with various extract doses of F. asperifolia leaves for 24 days. The diabetic rats showed a decreased level of blood glucose when compared to rats not treated. There was a significant (p<0.05) decrease in serum triglyceride, cholesterol and LDL but a remarkable increase in HDL values of the treated rats compared to the controls administered with distilled water
