The hypoglycaemic effect of Moringa stenopetala extract was assessed in nondiabetic rabbits by blood glucose analysis. In vivo experiments were carried out in rabbits that received the test material and the standard, glibenclamide. The plant extract, although less potent than glibenclamide, was found to lower blood glucose concentration. The hypoglycaemic effect was observed to increase with time and with an increase in the dose of the extract.
