Abstract: Hypoglycemic test of
methanol extract of Crescentia cujete (L.) at dose 25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg and 75 mg/kg given
to male laboratory
mice orally with
glucose tolerance test
method has been
done. Measurement of blood
glucose was carried
out every 30, 60,
90, 120, 150
and 180 minutes
with glucometer. Result of
this research concluded
that addition of
methanol extract of
dose 25 mg/kg gave strongest hypoglycemic effect
(25.20%), followed at dose 50 mg/kg (18.00%) and at close 75 mg/kg (10.01%)
at confidence limit
0.05. Phytochemical test
of methanol extract
of Crescentia cujete (L.) leaves
shown presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolic and saponin compounds.
