Abstract
The effects of aglycones moring and quercetin and their corresponding glycosides quercitrin and rutin were studied on the blood glucose levels of rats. Quercetin and quercetrin caused hypoglycaemia in rats while rutin and morin showed almost no difference. Quercetin, which showed 50% pronounced hypoglycaemic effects, reduced significantly the blood glucose level of alloxan diabetic rats.
