Abstract

The article presents the results of studies of the effects of some Ukrainian medicinal plants aqueous extracts on blood glucose concentration in healthy rats in dynamics of glucose tolerance test. The results indicate that under these conditions the most pronounced antihyperglycemic effect had the common bean (P. vulgaris) pods extract. The extracts from garlic seed (A. sativum) and wild strawberry (F. vesca) had less pronounced effect. None of antihyperglycemic effect has been observed under the influence of extracts from milk thistle (S. marianum), stinging nettle (U. dioica) and bilberry (V. myrtillus).
