Abstract :
The present study was undertaken to evaluate effect of natural products i.e.
Anthocephalus indicus; KADAM, roots, Hibiscus rosa sinensis roots,
Tinospora cordifolia stem and Cassia tora seeds in normal healthy rats. In this
study ethanol extract of above mentioned medicinal plants had macerated with
aqueous gum acacia (2%, w/v) suspension and fed orally (500 mg/kg bw p.o.) to
male adult healthy normal rats of Charles Foster strain for 30 days. Results of
this study showing that alcoholic extracts caused no any signiï€cant reduction in
blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipids, free fatty acid, lipid
peroxide and no signiï€cant increased in post heparin lipolytic activity, but on the
other hand as per pre-existing data and my published studies in diabetic patients
and diabetic experimental animals showed that extracts exerting all above
effects signiï€cantly. That's why it is very clear here if healthy person will take
natural products, it never cause hypoglycemia, hypolipidemia and under weight. Natural products also not cause any
signiï€cant change on hepato-speciï€c parameters. Thus from this study we conclude that, natural products are safe, non toxic
and free from side effects, in comparison to synthetic drugs.
