Abstract

The methanol extract of Aralia elata root bark was found to decrease the blood glucose level in normal and alloxan-treated rats. The fractionation process confirmed positive activity in ethylacetate fraction. It is suggested that this fraction may show potent antihyperglyceimic activity through stimulation of insulin secretion.
