Introduction: The present study investigated the
possible therapeutic effects of Annona squamosa
(A. squamosa) extract on certain biochemical
markers in streptozotocin (STZ) -induced
diabetes mellitus in rats.
Methods: The effects of an aqueous extract of
A. squamosa leaves on blood glucose, insulin,
C-peptide, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio,
urea, uric acid and creatinine and the activities
of diagnostic marker enzymes aspartate
aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase,
alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl
transpeptidase were examined in the plasma, liver
and kidney tissues of control and experimental
groups.
Results: Oral administration of A. squamosa (300
mg/kg) aqueous extract to diabetic rats for 30 days
significantly reduced blood glucose, urea, uric
acid and creatinine, but increased the activities
of insulin, C-peptide, albumin, albumin/globulin
ratio and restored all marker enzymes to near
control levels.
Conclusion: The present results shown that A.
squamosa extract has an antihyperglycaemic
effect and consequently may alleviate liver and
renal damage associated with STZ-induced
diabetes mellitus in rats.
