Uchechi Ifeoma Ekwueme
Abstract
This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of combined extracts of Vernonia amygdalina (VA) and Gongronema latifolium (GL) on pancreatic function, insulin secretion, and reproductive hormones in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats. Thirty-six rats were randomly divided into six groups. While Groups A (normal control) and B (diabetic control) received placebo, Groups C to F received metformin, combined VA+GL extract, VA alone, and GL alone, respectively, for 28 days. Post-treatment assessments included blood glucose analysis, hormonal assays, and pancreatic histology. Results showed significant glucose reduction and weight gain in the combined extract and metformin groups. Histological findings revealed severe β-cell degeneration...
