Abstract
Introduction: Remains today a metabolic disease that is gaining ground. It is linked to some health complications that lead to disastrous consequences in terms of loss of human life. It is necessary to take measures to stem this pathology. So, a plant species has been tested for its effect on hyperglycemia indicator of diabetes.
Aim: Evaluate the anthyperglycemia effect of the aqueous extract of carapa procera bark.
Methodology: The aqueous extract of the bark of Carapa procera was tested on rats subjected to a high-calorie diet and the biochemical parameters were evaluated. In addition, a phytochemical characterization was carried out.
Results: The high-calorie diet caused an increase in weight as well as an increase of glycemia. The aqueous extract of Carapa procera stabilized the glycemia.
Conclusion: Aqueous extract of Carapa procera has an antihyperglycemic activity.
Keywords: High-calorie diet, anti hyperglycemic, Carapa procera
