Does aqueous extract of Rosmarinus officinalis improve antioxidant markers and renal function in STZ-induced diabetic rats?
Aqueous extract of Rosmarinus officinalis significantly improves blood glucose, antioxidant markers, and renal function in a rat model of STZ-induced diabetes.
El‐Boshy et al. (2015) studied STZ-induced experimental diabetes (n=24). Aqueous extracts of Rosmarinus officinalis (RO) leaves vs. Control rats was evaluated on Blood glucose level, antioxidant markers, and kidney function. Aqueous extracts of Rosmarinus officinalis leaves significantly decreased blood glucose levels and improved antioxidant markers and renal function in STZ-induced diabetic rats.
