on Day 2 in the STZ injected rats (306.8±27.6 mg/dL) was significantly higher than in no-DB/control and no-DB/nottreated (106.8±11.9 and 111.0±4.4, respectively; both P≤0.05,
Tukey’s test). All treatments significantly reduced blood glucose
by Day 10 (all P≤0.05, Tukey’s test) and kept it without any
significant variation until the trial end (Day 28). Blood glucose
was lower at DB/ethanol-extract than in DB/acetoneextract and DB/dry leaves (both P>0.05, Tukey’s test). Plasma
insulin level on Day 28 was significantly lower in DB/nottreated than in DB/ethanol-extract and DB/dry leaves groups
