TI - A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE HYPOGLYCEMIC EFFECTS OF AMPALAYA TEA (MEMORDICA CHARANTIA) AND GLIBENCLAMIDE ON BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS OF MALE SWISS MICE AV - THE M-PHAR 2002 0013 PY - 2002/// N1 - farmakoloji N2 - The study was intended to determine the hypoglycemic activity of Ampalaya Tea on the blood glucose levels of male Swiss mice as compared to a standard oral hypoglycemic drug that is Glibenclamide. 30 male Swiss mice were divided in to 3 groups in which each group will receive orally a different solutions: ) 1 Group A (control) (distilled water; 2) Group B (Glibenclamide; 3) Group C ( Ampalaya Tea. Each group was subjected to Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Results obtained demonstrated a 33.89%, 49.9% average effectivity at 30 minutes, 34.31% at 60 minutes, 27.22%, 11.47% at 90 minutes after administration of the experimental solutions of Glibenclamide (Group B) and Ampalaya Tea (Group C) respectively. Therefore, Ampalaya Tea has a faster onset and shorter duration of action when compared to Glibenclamide which has a slower onset but longer and more sustained duration of action ER -
