Abstract
The alleged anti-diabetic potential of ethanolic extract of Adiantum caudatum (Convolvulaceae) whole plant, on fasting blood sugar levels and serum biochemical analysis in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats were investigated. Ethanolic Extract of Adiantum caudatum produced a significant anti-diabetic activity at dose levels 1/10 of their lethal doses (2000 mg/kg b.w).The activity was found comparable with standard drug Glibenclamide. The present investigation of the plant established some pharmacological evidence to support the folklore claim.
