Abstract

Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases and in the long term affects many parts of body, including liver and kidneys. This study was to investigate alcoholic extract effect of Alhagi camelorum on functional tests of liver and kidney in diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin. In this study, 28 Wistar male rats were divided into the four groups (n = 7): non-diabetic control group received normal diet, diabetic group was induced by streptozotocin and received 1ml of normal saline daily as extract solvent , two diabetic experimental groups received alcoholic extract of Alhagi Camelorum at dose of 200 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg by gavage, respectively. To induce diabetes, streptozotocin was injected to rats intraperitoneally at dose of 50 mg/kg. Blood samples were collected at day 21 from all groups and the related blood factors were measured and analyzed by SPSS (ANOVA). The findings show that there was a significant increase in creatinine, urea levels and liver enzymes in diabetic control group when compared to the non-diabetic control group. While the same amount factors show decrease in the groups receiving alcoholic extract of Alhagi Camerolum. The results show that alcoholic extract of aerial parts of Alhagi Camerolum causes to the decreased creatinine, urea levels and liver enzymes.
