Abstract
The antihyperglycemic effect of Makaradhwja was assessed in normal rats by injecting streptozotacin at 45 mg/kg to induce hyperglycemia. Powdered form of Makaradhwaja(Red sulphide of mercury) and Guduchi Ghana(dried extract of Tinospora cordifolia) with Honey was administered orally at 22.5 mg/ kg dose levels for 15 days. Serum glucose, serum cholesterol, serum triglyceride, blood urea, serum creatinine, serum alkaline phosphatase, serum bilirubin were estimated using standard methods. It was found effective antihyperglycemic (193.25±86.73) compared with reference standard (430.60±93.96).
