Attenuative Benefits of Leaf Extract of Annona muricata in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Mice

The methanol extract of Annona muricata leaf was investigated for its effects on blood glucose, haematology, serum electrolyte and kidney parameters of alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Six groups of mice (5 mice per group) was used for this study. Group A served as “Normal control” and fed mice pellets and water. Diabetes was induced in Groups B, C, D, and E by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (90 mg/kg).
