The findings were compared between normal, diabetic and Spirulina maxima supplemented rats. The effect of Spirulina maxima at a dose 15 mg/kg body weight yielded a higher level of significance than the 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight. A total of 25 rats (20 diabetic surviving rats and 5 normal rats) were selected for study. The total sample was divided into five groups of five rats each: group 1 normal untreated rats, group 2 diabetic control rats, group 3, 4, 5 diabetic rats given Spirulina maxima 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg body weight respectively. From the study it can be concluded that Spirulina maxima is a potent neutraceutical as a hypoglycemic agent in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.Read More
