Abstract

The objective of the study was to evaluate the chances of reduction in cardiovascular risk factors associated with diabetic conditions. Both types of Ashwagandharishta-T and Ashwagandharishta-M, were prepared by traditional and modern methods, respectively, and evaluated for fasting blood sugar, blood glutathione levels and serum biochemical parameters in alloxan induced diabetic rats. Both the Ashwagandharishta preparations were able to maintain the tested parameters near to normal level significantly.
