Abstract
The aim of the current research was to assess the antidiabetic possible of orally administered of olive and fig leaves in Alloxane induced diabetic rats.
The experimental recommended 56 male albino rats were randomly divided into two main groups. The first main group (8 rats) was considered as negative control group (healthy rats) fed on basal diet while the second main group (48 rats) were induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (150 mg /kg body weight) .The second main group consists of 6 subgroups each of (8 rats).One of these groups was chosen as a positive control. The rats in the positive control continued feeding on basal diet, however the other five groups has received olive leaves and fig leaves powder in their diet at levels of 3.5% , 7% and their mixture at 7% substitution respectively for 4 weeks . The results also declared that all diabetic groups which treated with olive leaves , fig leaves and their mixture resulted in significant decrease (p<0.05) in the values of glucose, serum cholesterol, TG , LDL-c and VLDL-c but showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in the values of serum HDL-c comparing with control positive group .The results also revealed that significant decrease (p<0.05) in the values of ASTand ALT in diabetic groups treated with 3.5% and 7% olive leaves and fig leaves powder and their mixture at 7% substitution. These results reported that all diabetic rat groups ingested olive and fig leaves in the diet declared significant decrease (P<0.05) in the values of creatinine comparing with the control positive group (PC),whereas for urea there are significant decrease (P<0.05) in the values of urea in all diabetic groups ingested olive and fig leaves in the diet except for diabetic rats that received 3.5% olive leave powder (OL1) group comparing with the control positive group (PC) .These results demonstrated that olive leaves and fig leaves has antihyperglycemic and hypolipidemic effect , because of the presence of antioxidants.
The study recommended that adding olive leaves and fig leaves to drinks to reduce glucose blood , cholesterol and improve liver and kidney functions wither alone or mixture (1:1).
