What is it about?
Herbal preparations with antihyperglycemic properties especially leaf extracts of hydroponic Stevia rebaudiana (SR) would be useful in hyperglycemia treatment. The aqueous extract of SR is suggested to have antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic activity and to restore liver andmuscle glycogen levels (hepatoprotective effects) in hyperglycemia induced by immobilization stress in rabbits and might be recommended for treatment of diabetes mellitus.
