Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to evaluate the antihyperglycaemic activity of aqueous (PPSB-AQE) and petroleum ether (PPSB-PEE) extract of stem bark Pongamia pinnata in alloxan induced diabetic mice. Materials and methods: Diabetes was induced in mice by alloxan (80 mg/kg, i.v.). After acute and subacute treatment serum glucose was determined. OGTT was performed in PPSB-PEE pretreated animals. Results: PPSB-PEE (25,50,100,200 and 400 mg/kg) showed significant reduction in serum glucose level in acute and subacute studies. The anti hyperglycaemic effects of PPSBPE (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) showed onset at 2 h and peak effect at 6 h and the effect was sustained until 24th h with 400 mg/kg. In subacute study, antihyperglycaemic effect was observed on 21st day. In PPSBPE treated mice the body weight was not reduced in contrast to that in vehicle group. In OGTT, increased glucose utilization was observed. Conclusions: It is concluded that PPSB-PEE but not PPSB-AQE showed anti hyperglycaemic activity. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
