This results in diabetes commonly without damaging the α-cells or the acinar cells of the pancreas [11]. In the present study, significant (p < 0.05) lowering of blood glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol was seen as compared with control levels when the diabetic rabbits were administered garlic extract in a dose of 250, 300 and 350 mg/kg body weight. This response was almost of the same pattern as seen in the normal rabbits but apparently higher in magnitude. One possible explanation could be the fact that sugar levels in diabetic rabbits were quit higher as compared tothe normal ones and changes in glucose level also correspond to initially high levels to certain extent. Concomitant rise of triglyceride and cholesterol
