Abstract:
〈 p class="Abstract" 〉 The article discusses anti-oxidant oral glucose tolerance and anti-hyperglycemic potentials of 〈 em 〉 Syzygium calophyllifolium 〈 /em 〉 . Extracts from successive solvent extraction were tested for the total phenolic, tannin, flavonoid content and free radical scavenging property using DPPH, ABTS 〈 sup 〉 + 〈 /sup 〉 , phosphomolyb-denum, FRAP, superoxide and metal chelating assays. Ethyl acetate extract of bark responded well against DPPH (IC 〈 sub 〉 50 〈 /sub 〉 4.13), ABTS 〈 sup 〉 + 〈 /sup 〉 (36832.29 µM TE/ g extract),phosphomolybdenum (100.4 g AAE/100g extract), superoxide and metal ion radicals. The methanol extract of bark was also found as an effective radical scavenger. The leaf methanol extract also showed significant anti-oxidant ability. The bark methanol extract could potentially reduce the blood glucose level in glucose loaded and diabetic rats. The immense anti-oxidant potential of 〈 em 〉 S. calophyllifolium 〈 /em 〉 leaf and bark extracts could be taken as a good source of natural anti-oxidant supplement in food to defend oxidative stress related disorders like diabetes. 〈 /p 〉 〈 p 〉 〈 /p 〉
