Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of Catharanthus pusillus in streptozotocin-induced diabetic albino Wistar rats. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. Despite various synthetic drugs available for its management, natural plant-based remedies are gaining attention for their efficacy and minimal side effects. Catharanthus pusillus has been traditionally used in folk medicine for treating diabetes. This study investigates its efficacy and potential mechanisms in controlling blood glucose levels.

Keywords: Catharanthus pusillus, Antidiabetic activity, Streptozotocin, Diabetes mellitus, Albino Wistar rats.
