DIURETIC ACTIVITY OF PISTIA STRATIOTES LEAF EXTRACT IN RATS
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The leaf extracts of Pistia stratiotes were subjected to screening of antidiabetic and diuretic activity in rats. The oral administration of the extracts (200mg/kg body weight) produced significant antihyperglycemic (P*<0.001) action, as well as Diuretic action. The antihyperglycemic action of the extracts may be due to the blocking of glucose absorption. From the obtained result it was concluded that Pistia stratiotes possess potent antidiabetic and diuretic activity.
