Evaluation of antidiabetic properties of Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves using In vitro model
description Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition affecting million of people worldwide including Malaysia. 347 million of people worldwide suffering diabetes and National Health and Morbidity Survey in 2011 showed that 20.8 % of Malaysian population suffering diabetes. Even though plenty of antidiabetic drug are available, it is still remain the major worldwide health problems, which possibly due to the current drug adverse side effect and its poor clinical efficacy. Continuous efforts are needed in searching for new, safe and efficacious antidiabetic drug. Moringa oleifera is one of the common medicinal plant uses in folk medicine. Traditionally, it has been claimed to possess antidiabetic property. The study was carried out to authenticate the claimed antidiabetic property and its possible mode of actions. In this study, antioxidant capacity and antidiabetic evaluations on hot aqueous M. oleifera leaves extract using in vitro model were done.
