ABSTRACT

Background: Diabetes mellitus is among the most serious public health problems worldwide.Materials and Methods: 35mg/kg STZ was injected to rats for stimulating diabetes. Then rats were treated with 25mg/kg of brassinin.Results: Brassinin and Glibenclamide remarkably decreased glucose and HbA1c levels in diabetic rats, while insulin levels were elevated. They also increased antioxidant enzymes and decreased inflammatory markers.Conclusion: Brassinin is an antihyperglycemic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory compound that protects the liver, kidney, and pancreas during diabetes.
