Borassus aethiopum (Mart.) ethanol fruit extract reverses alloxan-treatment alterations in experimental animals by Moses Dele, Adams, Ejike, Daniel Eze

“…The extract however significantly (p < 0.05) reversed all the alloxan-induced alterations, with the extract at 100 mg/kg b.w producing figures that compared (p > 0.05) well with those of the d.w treated non-diabetic animals and metformin-treated diabetic animals. The extract also renewed the wholeness of histological damage in the pancreas. …”
