Abstract

Lifestyle diseases evolved during 20^th century to promote epidemiological landscape with increasing industrial growth and climate change. Diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, heart diseases, stroke, pulmonary diseases, and mental diseases along with alcohol abuse and smoking increase the risk of mortality and morbidity in population. So, the current study was conducted to evaluate aqueous extract powder of Ocimum basilicum potential against streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia with its potential to ameliorate biochemical parameters associated with liver and kidney functionality and body weight in albino rats. Four groups of albino rats were selected having six rats in each group (control group, diabetic group, 0.5% and 1% treatment group. Biochemical parameters which were evaluated were AST, ALP, ALT, total bilirubin, total protein, albumin, globulin, creatinine, and urea along with estimation of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and LDL. Aqueous extract powder significantly reduced blood glucose levels at both doses. Body weight was also improved significantly. Biochemical parameters for liver and kidney tests along with lipid profile was also improved showed ameliorated effect of extract powder. Mainly 1% basil seed gum showed prominent improvement in blood glucose parameters along with other biochemical parameters. This study concludes that both levels of BSG powder have notable possible effect to reduce hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia associated with diabetes. Therefor it may be helpful in diabetes management.
