Abstract

Gynostemma, a precious medicinal plant with many pharmacological effects reported worldwide, has a blood glucose lowering effect. There are many different species of Gynostemma. In Vietnam, 6 species have been discovered, of which Gynostemma compressum X.X. Chen & D.R. Liang has not been studied yet. The purpose of this research is to investigate the hypoglycemic action of Gynostemma compressum X.X. Chen & D.R. Liang in type 2 diabetic mice. The research was conducted by combining a high fat diet for 8 weeks and STZ induced type 2 diabetes in mice. The chemicals were used are STZ 100mg/kg bw i.p route, gliclazid 80mg/kg bw oral route, the ethanol extract of Gynostemma compressum X.X. Chen & D.R. Liang at 0,96g/kg and 2,88g/kg bw, oral route, during 2 weeks. Gynostemma compressum X.X. Chen & D.R. Liang at two doses had glucose – lowering effect and liver protection, pancreas structure improvement in type 2 diabetic mice for 2 weeks treatment.
