Anti-diabetic effect of balanites aegyptiacea leaves extract [HEGLIG] by regulation of erythrocyte glucose uptake in diabetic patients type 2 in vitro

ABSTRACT

Background: in Diabetes, the increase in the oxidative stress and decrease in the antioxidant defense may elevate he susceptibility of diabetic patients to many pathological complications, oxidative induced cell damage has been proposed to play an important role in the etiology of numerous pathological conditions. So, the aim of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant potential of Alcoholic Leaves extract of Balanites aegyptiacea [Heglig] due to the presence of phenolic and flavonoids compounds on uptake of glucose in vitro by erythrocytes of diabetic patients
