title: Isoferulic acid as active principle from the rhizoma of Cimicifuga dahurica to lower plasma glucose in diabetic rats.
abstract: Isoferulic acid extracted from the rhizome of Cimicifuga dahurica Maxim. (Ranunculaceae) has been determined to have in vivo antihyperglycemic activity. An antihyperglycemic action of isoferulic acid in spontaneously diabetic rats, similar to type I diabetes, is presented.
