Overview

Observational analysis shows that Cymbopogon citratus oil lowers blood glucose in diabetic rats, indicating possible antioxidant benefits.

Key Points

  • Lemongrass oil significantly reduced fasting blood glucose in diabetic rats, and improved liver structure.
  • The 100 mg/kg dose matched the effectiveness of metformin in enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity during treatment.
  • Biochemical markers, including glutathione and superoxide dismutase, reflected improved health in treated rats.
  • Histopathological evaluations confirmed reduced liver degeneration and inflammation post-treatment.
