[Hypoglycemic effect of saponin isolated from leaves of Acanthopanax senticosus (Rupr. et Maxin.) Harms].
The hypoglycemic effect of saponin isolated from the leaves of Acanthopanax senticosus (ASS) was studied. The results showed that ASS(100, 200 mg/kg, ip) could decrease various cases of experimental hyperglycemias induced by injection of adrenaline, glucose and alloxan, without affecting the levels of blood sugar in normal mice.
