Influence of Ethanol, Methanol and N-Hexane Extracts of Kigelia Africana Leaves and Fruits on Oxidative and Biochemical Properties in Induced Diabetic Rats
Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder characterized by sustained hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and disrupted biochemical parameters. This study investigated the effects of ethanol, methanol, and n-hexane extracts from the leaves and fruits of Kigelia africana on oxidative and biochemical markers in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The plant materials were extracted using maceration and solvent evaporation methods. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal dose of alloxan monohydrate. Experimental …
