ABSTRACT
The pectin isolated from the juice of the inflorescence stalk of plantain (Musa sapientum) has been found to show significant hypoglycemic effect both in normoglycemic and alloxan diabetic rats. After its administration at a dose of 20mg/100g body weight, there was increase in the concentration of hepatic glycogen, increased glycogenesis as evident from the increased activity of glycogen synthetase and in normoglycemic rats increased incorporation of labelled glucose into hepatic glycogen. Glycogenolysis and glyconeogenesis were lower as was evident from the decreased activity of glycogen phosphorylase and gluconeogenic enzymes.
