Abstract
In the current research paper, the effect of ginger powder on diabetic rats was probed. The bio-adequacy study was observed on Alloxan prompted Wistar rodents by taking ginger powder at three levels for example 1%, 3% and 5% ginger powder for a time of about a month. There were 4 gatherings (one was control and the other three getting various rates of ginger powder), each containing 5 rodents. The blood tests were gathered at multi day, fifteenth day and 28th day. Glucose and insulin levels were estimated. The information in this manner acquired was genuinely investigated to discover the degree of importance. Results showed that glucose levels essentially diminished alongside critical expansion in insulin levels. This examination configuration infers that ginger powder has constructive outcomes in bringing down glucose levels. Subsequently, use of ginger powder and ginger tea ought to be expanded in diabetic patients to diminish hyperglycemia in diabetic patients and defeat from high BSL levels in pre-diabetics. The conclusive results of this study were that ginger powder effected and show anti-diabetic effects as mean values of glucose levels dropped from 362.35±25.61 to 117.94±10.96. Proximate analysis showed that ginger powder contains ash, moisture, crude fat, crude fiber and crude protein content as 6.5% ± 0.31, 19.9% ± 1.50, 12.6% ± 0.50, 5.2% ± 0.11, 9.9% ± 0.34 respectively. Moreover, in liver functions, ALP, ALT, AST were examined resulting as a drop in mean values from 154.20±11.86 to 153.89±11.53, from 51.93±4.32 to 50.68±4.15 and from 106.77±12.85 to 110.26±11.54 respectively.
