Abstract
This experiment evaluated the effect of the aqueous extract of Urtica dioica leaves
and the ethanolic extract of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora rhizome on the glycemic and lipidemic
status in type 1 diabetic model rats. Adult Long Evans male rats, bred at BIRDEM animal house,
Dhaka, Bangladesh were used in this study. Type 1 diabetic model rats were produced with a single
intraperitoneal injection of Streptozotocin using standardized method used in BIRDEM. Serum
glucose was estimated by the glucose-oxidase (GOD-PAP) method, serum lipid profiles (cholesterol,
triglycerides, HDL) were measured by enzymatic colorimetric (cholesterol oxidase / peroxidase)
method. Significant blood glucose lowering effect of U. dioica (p<0.001) and P. scrophulariiflora
(p<0.05) were observed in type 1 diabetic model rats. Body weight was decreased significantly
(p<0.02) in the U. dioica treated group. Triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol level were significantly
low (p<0.01) in the U. dioica treated group. Decreased level of TG and cholesterol were also
observed in P. scrophulariiflora extract treated group, but was not significant. Hence the study
showed that semi-chronic administration of the water extract of U. dioica and the ethanolic extract
of P. scrophulariiflora improved the glycemic and lipidemic status in type 1 diabetic model rats.

Key words: Type 1 diabetes, Streptozotocin, Urtica dioica, Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora, Animal model, Glycemic status, Lipidemic status.
