Effects of Physalis peruviana L. (leaf crude extracts) on blood glucose and functional biomarkers in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats

Promoting antidiabetic phytomedicines necessitates evidence-based preclinical investigations, particularly in animal models. The present study investigated the validity of using the streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced type 2 diabetic (STZ/NA-induced T2DM) model to evaluate the effects of Physalis peruviana leaf crude extracts on controlling blood glucose levels and regulating physiological biomarkers in rats. Aqueous and methanol extracts dissolved in carboxymethylcellulose 1% (100, 200, mg/kg/day) were administered orally to STZ/NA-induced T2DM rats alongside glibenclamide (5 mg/kg) as the standard drug for four weeks. Blood samples were collected in fasting rats on days 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 to measure glucose concentration, lipoprotein-cholesterol, and common serum biomarkers. Nutrition characteristics were also monitored, as well as the pancreas histology. Administration of STZ/NA in Wistar rats induced the T2DM significantly lower than did STZ alone (glycaemia 200 vs 400 mg/dL). The significant effects observed with plant extracts compared to untreated diabetic rats were blood glucose reduction (28-52 %), HDL-C increase, LDL-C decrease, ALAT increase, WBC increase, body weight gain (24%), and pancreas protection. The findings confirm the antidiabetic effect of P. peruviana in T2DM animal model.
