An Indian study using\u00a0diabetic\u00a0rats determined that the Ayurvedic medicine Chandraprabha vati<\/em> (CPV) can treat and manage Type 2 diabetes\u00a0just as effectively as metformin. CPV was shown to\u00a0control\u00a0blood sugar, cholesterol, and\u00a0triglycerides levels just as well as first-line diabetic medicines.<\/p>\n

Diabetes mellitus\u00a0is\u00a0indicated by abnormally high blood sugar levels that come from defects in the secretion and\/or action of insulin. This condition is called hyperglycemia, and it has a negative effect on many parts of the body.<\/p>\n

The ancient Ayurvedic system prescribes CPV treatment for various indications such as prameha<\/em>, a syndrome that shares symptoms with diabetes mellitus, obesity, and other diseases and disorders. CPV\u00a0is a\u00a0herbal medicine available in pill or tablet form.<\/p>\n

Researchers from the National Research Institute for Ayurveda-Siddha Human Resource Development<\/em>\u00a0sought to evaluate\u00a0the influence of CPV on blood sugar and\u00a0fat profiles in alloxan-induced hyperglycemic rats.<\/p>\n

They\u00a0published their findings in the\u00a0Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Rat model\u00a0simulates diabetic and glucose-loaded specimens<\/h2>\n

The researchers\u00a0built a model using 55 healthy lab rats. Hyperglycemia was induced in some of the specimens using alloxan monohydrate.<\/p>\n

The test subjects\u00a0were divided into six different groups with five rats assigned to each set. The non-diabetic control group received\u00a0a placebo\u00a0while the diabetic vehicle control group received alloxan and CPV.<\/p>\n

Rats in the test drug-treated groups received three different amounts of CPV. The ones in the standard treated group got metformin, a first-line drug used to treat diabetes in humans.<\/p>\n

All treatments were\u00a0given on a daily basis for\u00a0seven days.<\/p>\n

The researchers then took blood samples from\u00a0fasted rats at certain intervals.\u00a0They tested those samples for fasting\u00a0blood sugar levels. They also measured blood levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides on the seventh day.<\/p>\n

Other non-diabetic rats were loaded with glucose\u00a0for an oral glucose tolerance test\u00a0(OGTT)\u00a0using either\u00a0CPV treatment or metformin.<\/p>\n

CPV\u00a0matched anti-hyperglycemic effectiveness of metformin<\/h2>\n

According to the researchers, CPV treatment did not markedly affect the\u00a0blood sugar levels of healthy rats during the OGTT.\u00a0The same outcome applied to rats that received standard drug treatment.<\/p>\n

When applied to\u00a0glucose-loaded rats, both CPV\u00a0and metformin\u00a0restored the treated animals’ impaired glucose tolerance.<\/p>\n

The results of the OGTT suggested the Ayurvedic medicine did not\u00a0cause hypoglycemia \u2013 extremely low blood sugar\u00a0\u2013\u00a0in healthy non-diabetic individuals.<\/p>\n

With regards to its anti-hyperglycemic\u00a0potency, CPV treatment\u00a0lowered blood sugar levels in\u00a0alloxan-diabetic rats. The exact process by which CPV achieves this is still unclear.<\/p>\n

The researchers note\u00a0that CPV is comprised of\u00a0ingredients reputed to have anti-diabetic effects such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Improving\u00a0insulin-sensitizing activity<\/li>\n
  • Healing\u00a0pancreatic beta cells<\/li>\n
  • Antioxidant action<\/li>\n
  • Influencing insulin resistance<\/li>\n
  • Altering the carbohydrate metabolism or insulin-like effect via peripheral glucose utilization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    They believe the combination of these anti-diabetic properties gives\u00a0CPV its effectiveness against hyperglycemia.<\/p>\n

    In addition,\u00a0the study showed that CPV\u00a0also reduced the\u00a0cholesterol level in the blood of diabetic rats.\u00a0The researchers trace this to the presence of\u00a0ingredients that\u00a0either prevent cholesterol from being created or improves its absorption in the intestines.<\/p>\n

    Furthermore, CPV also reduced the number of triglycerides in the blood, possibly by improving the efficiency of insulin and lipoprotein lipase. This means CPV has anti-hyperlipidemic effects and can control diabetes and fat abnormalities.<\/p>\n

    Finally, the researchers compared the effectiveness of CPV\u00a0and metformin. According to the results, the Ayurvedic medicine matched metformin’s performance in treating diabetes.<\/p>\n

    The researchers concluded that CPV was a safe and effective alternative to metformin for treatment of hyperglycemia and Type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

    For future investigations, they\u00a0recommended\u00a0testing\u00a0CPV’s effectiveness in treating chronic\u00a0models of diabetes, such as the ones induced by Streptozotocin-Nicotinamide or fructose.<\/p>\n
