All the extracts of Terminalia Catappa produced a significant anti diabetic activity at dose levels of 1/5th of their lethal doses. Concurrent histological studies of the pan-creas of these animals showed regeneration by aqueous and cold extracts which were earlier necrosed by alloxan. %> http://ijpt.iums.ac.ir/article-1-42-en.pdf %P 36-0 %& 36 %! %9 Research Article %L A-10-100-52 %+ %G eng %@ 9 %[ 2005
