Popis: Metabolic disorders (MDs) include disease states such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, etc., affecting about 30% of the planet’s population. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the protective potential of Cicerbita alpina leaf extract (ECA) against chemically induced type 2 diabetes in Wistar rats. Additionally, some biochemical parameters in the blood serum and liver, as well as histopathological investigation, were also performed. Quantitative analysis of the major compounds in the used extract was performed using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (UHPLC-DAD) analyses using the external standard method. C. alpina extract revealed a beneficial effect on MDs, lowering blood sugar levels and MDA quantity in the liver, increasing the reduced glutathione level, and increasing antioxidant enzyme activity. Cichoric acid (CA) (91.93 mg/g dry extract (de) ± 4.64 mg/g de) was found to be the dominant compound in the extract, followed by caftaric (11.36 ± 2.10 mg/g de), and chlorogenic acid (CGA) (9.25 ± 0.05 mg/g de). In conclusion, C. alpina leaf extract (ECA) is rich in caffeoyltartaric and caffeoylquinic acids and provides beneficial effects on the diabetic animal model.
