Abstract | ||
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of methanolic and water (hot,cold) extracts of urtica dioica plant in blood glucose level of aloxan induced diabetic laboratory rats . And also to study the antibacterial activity of these extracts against different groups of gram positive and negative bacterial species . the present study showed the presence of significant p≤ 0.05hypoglycemic activity of blood glucose in the group treated with the hot methanolic extract compared with control and (hot ,cold) water extracts groups.The results showed significant p≤ 0.05 antibacterial activity in the hot methanolic extract against most the gram positive and negative bacterial species compared with standard antibiotics and (hot ,cold) water extracts . The result confirm that hot methanolic extract of urtica dioica has more activity than the water extracts. | ||
