ABSTRACT
The effect of roasted and unroasted seeds of C. cajan on serum glucose levels of normal and alloxan diabetic mice were studied. Single doses of unroasted seeds (60% and 80%) on administration to normal as well as alloxanized mice showed significant reduction in the serum glucose levels after 1-2 hr and a significant rise at 3 hr. In case of roasted seeds, on other hand there was a significant increase in serum glucose levels during 3 hr experimental period. It is therefore concluded that roasting of seeds at high temperature for an half hour period resulted in the total loss of hypoglycemic principle but not the hyperglycemic principle present in the seeds.
