Abstract
Ninety five percent ethanol extract of Swertia chirata (Buch-Ham) was fed to healthy albino rats consisting of fed, fasted and glucose loaded models. Significant blood sugar lowering effect was observed in these models. Swertia chirata fed orally caused enhancement of the blood sugar lowering effect of tolbutamide in healthy albino rats.Keywords
