Guduchi Herbal Research & References
Guduchi Research and Clinical Studies
Scientist tested out that daily dose of Guduchi decreases the blood glucose level and increases glucose tolerance in rodents. Aqueous extract of Guduchi also caused a reduction in blood sugar in alloxan induced hyperglycemia in rats and rabbits in the dose of 400 mg/kg. Another study has also revealed significant hypoglycemic effect of extract of leaves in normal and alloxan diabetic rabbits. However, the extract had no significant effect on total lipid levels in normal or treated rabbits.
The aqueous extract of roots of Guduchi has shown the anti-oxidant action in alloxan diabetes rats. Daily dose (50 mg/kg body weight) of Guduchi roots extracts for 6 weeks resulted in a significant reduction of serum and tissue cholesterol, phospholipids and free fatty acids in alloxan diabetic rats.
Scientist used Guduchi to explore antitumor promoting activity in a two-stage skin carcinogenesis model. For this purpose, mice were treated by single application of DMBA (100 microg/100 microl of acetone) and two weeks later promoted by croton oil (1% in acetone three times a week) until the end of the experiment (i.e., 16 weeks). Oral administration of the Guduchi extract at the preinitiational stage , promotional stage , and both pre- and postintiational stage recorded significant reduction in tumor weight, tumor incidence in comparison to control (i.e., mice treated with DMBA and croton oil; group III). Furthermore, cumulative number of papillomas, tumor yield, tumor burden, and tumor weight showed significant reduction along with significant elevation of phase II detoxifying enzymes, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation in liver and skin.
