Popis: To investigate and compare the hypoglycemic potential of commonly used polyherbal formulation dolabi with pioglitazone in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.A total of 24 adult male Wistar rats were randomized into diabetic control group, diabetic group receiving dolabi (17.6 mg kgCompared with baseline, the groups receiving dolabi (35.2 mg kgThese results showed sluggish hypoglycemic effects of dolabi at manufacturer's recommended doses. At a higher dose however, good glycemic control was achieved with dolabi and the results were comparable to pioglitazone. The shorter duration of study (4 weeks) might be the reason of poor glycemic control associated with dolabi at a normal dose.
