Abstract
This study was aimed to investigate the effects of Ginseng ethanol extract on Diabetes induced by alloxan in comparison with that of insulin. The blood sugar, blood urea nitrogen, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and cholesterol were measured by spectrophotometry. The results were obtained as follows. 1. Ethanol extract of Ginseng increased the blood sugar level in normal rats. 2. Ethanol extract of Ginseng restrained the increase of blood sugar in diabetes induced by alloxan. 3. Ethanol extract of Ginseng acted to oppose a rapid decrease of blood sugar by insulin. 4. Blood urea nitrogen, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and cholesterol level in blood were not affected by Ginseng.
