Diabetes is a group of symptoms caused by high blood sugar and changes in lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism that increase the risk of vascular disease. More than 400 herbs have been reported to have hypoglycemic effects, but only some of them have been studied. Although there are many medications to control diabetes, they also have some side effects. Corallocarpus Epigaeus is famous in the Ayurvedic system of medicine and is used to treat many ailments. The plant is reported to have laxative, antiasthmatic, anthelminthic, headache, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to investigate the anti-diabetic effect of plant stem extract on alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Recognition of antidiabetic drugs is related to many biochemical parameters.
