ABSTRACT
The hypoglycemic effect of orally administered crude extract of Albizia procera leaves was studied in normoglycemic rabbits and in glucose loaded rabbits before and after glucose feeding. The extract administered at a dose 5 ml/kg was found to possess glucose lowering property in rabbits fed with glucose prior to the extract In addition, to the plasma glucose, albumin, total lipids and total proteins were also determined

Despite suggestion of multiplicity of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators contributing in the regulation of pituitary gonadotropins secretion the picture regarding catecholamines in intact and castrated rats is not clear. This study deals with the differential response of pituitary FSH and LH to immediate effect of different adrenergic and non - adrenergic agonist/antagonist [adrenaline, noradrenaline, proparnolol, isoprenaline, clonidine, phenoxybanzamine HCI] in the short -term castrated rat model. The evidence is presented for a direct excitatory or facilitatory effect of adrenaline and noradrenaline for pituitary LH regulation viz - a viz testosteron feed back mechanism in castrated rats
