CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Diabetes
mellitus is a disease in which blood vessels of glucose (sugar) are high
because the body does not produce or properly use insulin. There are two major
forms of diabetes mellitus. Type 1 diabetes
develops when the pancreas does not produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes
occurs when the body cell resist insulin’s effect (Microsoft Encarta, 2009).
This condition leads to elevated levels of blood glucose. The normal range of
blood glucose level for blood glucose level is between 70-110mg/dl. Insulin is a
hormone that helps to maintain normal blood glucose level by making the body’s
cell absorbs glucose (sugar) so that it can be as a source of energy. In people
with diabetes glucose levels build up in the blood and urine causing excessive
urination, thirst, hunger and problems with fats and protein metabolism because
the body cannot convert glucose into energy, it begins to break down stored fats for fuel. This
produces increasing amounts of acidic compounds in the blood called ketone
bodies which interfere with cellular respiration energy producing process in
cells. Alloxan induces diabetes mellitus in rats. Alloxan, a beta cytotoxin,
induces diabetes in a wide variety of animal species through damage of insulin
secreting cell. In these animals, with characteristic similar to type 1
diabetes in humans. Hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia are common
complications of diabetes mellitus.
(Rerup, C. C. 1999).
Senna
tora (originally described by Linne as cassia
tora) is a legume in the subfamily caesalpiniodeae. It grows wild in most of
the tropics and is considered a weed in many places. Its native range is not
well known but probably South Asia. It is often confused with Chinese senna or
sickle pods obtusifolia. If it is given a distinct common name at all, it is
called sickle wild sensitive plant (nature serve, 200). It has a widely ranging
tropical and the agro climatic conditions, which are conducive for introducing
and domesticating new and exotic plant varieties. The use of the plants, plant extracts
and pure compounds isolated from natural sources provided the foundation to
modern pharmaceutical compounds. An ethno botanical search on fine species
senna within and around Ogbomoso, Oyo state, Nigeria showed their relevance in
the local herbal medicine. In the recent study, screening for hypoglycemic
activity of the extract of senna tora was conducted to provide support
for the use of this plant as traditional medicine. Phytochemical screening
provides knowledge of the chemical constituents of this not only for the
discovery of new therapeutic agents, but also for information in discovering
new sources of other materials. The uses of senna tora include the
following, used as liver stimulant, mild laxative, heart tonic, used in
treatment of fever, used to treat eczema and dermatomycosis, etc.
1.1 AIMS
AND OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH
Therefore
the goal of the study is to:
1.
To determining the blood glucose levels of
normal and Alloxan induced diabetic rats.
2.
To determine the effects of senna tora
leaves extract on the blood glucose levels of the diabetic albino rats.
3.
To compare values before
and after induction with Alloxan and senna tora leaves.
