introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) With the number of people affected worldwide, the disease is taking an ever-increasing proportion of national and international health care strategies (WHO 2008) WHO and IDF predicts an increase of 2-3 times in diabetes prevalence in 2030 (Pharmaceutical Care for Diabetes Mellitus, 2005) 1980- WHO recommended an examination of plants which have hypoglycemic effects Traditional herbal medicines
Charantia
Dioscorea hispida densst . One of the most economically important yam species Serves as a staple food in tropical and subtropical countries ( Udensi et. al, 2008) Nami , commonly found in secondary forests and grows under shaded areas or near streams Good starch and essential dietary nutrients source Exhibits nutritional superiority compared with other tropical root crops Digestive property has suggested reduced risk of obesity, diabetes etc. ( Aprianita et. al, 2009)
Dioscorea hispida densst . Some studies have also pointed out that this yam tuber also contains some toxic compounds, which can impart serious health complications To prevent intoxications, locals prepare the tubers before consumption Treatment practices vary from region to region, but commonly involves peeling, leaching of the sliced tubers in running water Resultant sliced tubers are then cooked before being eaten (Bhattacharyya, et. al, 2008)
Statement of the problem MAIN OBJECTIVE: To compare the hypoglycemic effects of Nami tuber (D. hispida Densst ) extract and Charantia capsule in hyperglycemic female Sprague- dawley rats Specifically, this research seek to answer the following questions: What is the blood glucose level of rats given with Nami tuber (D. hispida Densst ) extract after: - 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 75 minutes, 90 minutes, 105 minutes, 120 minutes What is the blood glucose level of rats given with Charantia capsule after: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 75 minutes, 90 minutes, 105 minutes, 120 minutes
hypothesis There is no significant difference between the hypoglycemic effect of Nami tuber (D. hispida Densst ) extract and Charantia in hyperglycemic female Sprague- dawley rats Aa Aaa
Significance of the study For Diabetic patients For Medical practitioners For root crop farmers Future researchers
Scope and delimitation The study is limited to its scope in the comparison of the hypoglycemic effects of Nami tuber (D. hispida Densst ) extract and Charantia capsule on the hyperglycemic female Sprague- dawley rats Study does not include the other pharmacological effects of Nami tubers such as its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and sedative effects The experiment was done at the University of Perpetual Help- Binan Campus Laboratory
Collection of Nami tuber (D. hispida Dennst ) Preparation (peeling, washing and soaking) of Nami tuber (D. hispida Dennst ) Decoction of Nami tuber (D. hispida Dennst ) Transportation of female Sprague-Dawley rats Acclimatization of rats 24 hours fasting of rats Collection of FBS baseline data Administration of 50% Glucose Preparation of Charantia capsule solution Hyperglycemic rats Nami tuber (D. hispida Dennst ) extract Hypoglycemic effect

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, conclusion and recommendation
hypo There is no significant difference between the hypoglycemic effect of Nami tuber (D. hispida Densst ) extract and Charantia in hyperglycemic female Sprague- dawley rats Aaa Aaaa These null hypotheses were REJECTED
conclusions Based on the findings, the trend of blood sugar changes in each plant extract is different Time course and changes in time periods were affected Changes between the plant extract were affected by the treatment times There is a significant difference between the hypoglycemic effect of Nami tuber (D. hispida Dennst ) extract and Charantia capsule in hyperglycemic female Sprague- dawley rats
recommendations Proper preparation awareness Proper dissemination of information Future researchers Other methods of extraction Lengthen time interval of blood glucose extraction Opt to long-term induction of DM type II in Sprague- dawley rats using: Alloxan monophosphate Streptozotocin Consider comparing hypoglycemic effects of D. hispida in male and female Sprague- dawley rats
