In this pre-clinical work, 32 mice were induced for diabetes via injecting alloxan intraperitoneally at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weightand mice having 104-170 mg/dl sugar level were considered diabetic. All mice were divided into two groups, each group with three sub-groups containing normal, control and diabetic mice. One group was given normal feed whereasother group was given a food containing Aegle marmelos leaf extract at 300 mg/kg body weight as an effective dose against alloxan induced hyperglycemia.
