The aim of this study is to evaluate hypoglycemic properties of Andrographis paniculata (A. paniculata) Ethanolic exract of A. paniculata and its active constituent andrographolide offers a therapeutic value in prevention of diabetes. The hypoglycemic effects could be mainly attributed to its antioxidant properties which prevent liver damage. The significant changes observed in lipid per oxidation along with enhancement of antioxidant defense system. The constituent present in A. paniculata enhance the antioxidant properties which create hypoglycemic properties showing lowering in serum glucose, enhance body weight, increase serum protein and acute alteration in serum cholesterol and blood urea. Further studies will be needed in future to determine the main active ingredients having the beneficial antidiabetic and antioxidant effect.
