Hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of Corchorus olitorius leaves as a food supplement on rats with alloxan-induced diabet
Corchorus olitorius is a species of shrub in the family Malvaceae known to have rich sources of chemical compound. The leaves of this plant are locally consumed as a vegetable and as a remedy in Africa, Middle East and Southern Asia. This study was designed to evaluate the hypoglycemic and hypolipid...
