EFFECT OF STIXIS SUAVEOLENS LEAF EXTRACT ON THE LIPID PROFILE OF STZ INDUCED DIABETES OF ALBINO RATS
Abstract
Abstract
Diabetic patients are often present with characteristic plasma lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities, including, LDL, HDL, and elevated TC levels. Meanwhile, Stixis suaveolens (Roxb.) have been a popular folk medicine among traditional practitioners. However, there are questions about its traditional uses due to lack of scientific evidence.

The results show that in terms of LDL levels, the high dose (75.0 ± 4.0b mg/dL), medium dose (85.0 ± 5.0b mg/dL), and low dose (95.0 ± 6.0b mg/dL) treatment groups did not show significant differences (p
