Present study was carried out to investigate a local medicinal plant, Ajuga bracteosa for its anti-hyperglycemic activity in alloxan induced diabetic chicks. A total of eighteen domestic chicks (Gallus gallus domesticus) of either sex were divided into three groups (A, B and C) of six animals each. For the induction of diabetes in group A and group B, chicks were administered with alloxan (120 mg/kg i.p.) for one week. After the confirmation of diabetes, done by glucose test kit; Group A chicks were considered as diabetic control, Group B chicks as diabetic chicks treated with Ajuga bracteosa leaves extract (100 mg/kg, orally, 30 days daily) and Group C chicks as normal control. On different intervals of days (1st, 10th, 20th and 30th), blood samples were taken from the wing’s vein and glucose level was evaluated. Data were analyzed by using one-way analysis of variance, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The Group B diabetic chicks treated with the extract of Ajuga bracteosa leaves showed significant (p<0.05) reduction in blood glucose level as compared to Group A diabetic control chicks. The result obtained in the study indicates the potent anti-hyperglycemic activity of the Ajuga bracteosa leaves extract in alloxan-induced diabetic chicks.
