ABSTRACT
This study aims to assess whether or not a methanol extract of Momordica charantia is able to normalise lipid and glucose levels in diabetic rats fed a high-fat and a low-carbohydrate diet. Different doses of the extract are administered orally for 45 days. The rats are bled at the beginning of the experiment and at 15-day intervals. Blood glucose, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and cholesterol are estimated. Results showed that M. charantia extract normalised blood glucose level, reduced triglyceride and LDL levels and increased HDL level. The animals reverted to a diabetic state once the M. charantia extract was discontinued.
