Abstract

Diabetes mellitus can manifest due to resistance of peripheral receptors to insulin or increased indigenous glucose production by liver (hyperglycaemia).It is caused by inherited or acquired deficiency in production of insulin by pancreaseokra abelmoschusesclentus L (moench) is an important vegetable crop this plant has been acclaimed to have various health benefits which include to have various health benefits which include anti-diabetic properties.

An alpha glucosidase and alpha -amylase enzyme effects in aqueous extract’s of Abelmoscusesculentus, to provide an evidence for anti- diabetic activity through potential inhibition of alpha glucosidase and slpha amylase enzyme using the aqueous extract, peel and seed. Other extraction method like, the powdered peel and seed were used for the preparation of aqueous extract. And found that peel and seed showed appreciable alpha glucosidase [IC50= (124.96± 0.32) mg/dl and (142.47±0.28) mg/dl] and alpha amylase [(IC50=  (123.36±0.16) mg/dl and (136.23±0.21) mg/dl].And inhibitory effect in a concentration dependent and soaking in water methods are confirmed and shows hypoglycemic effect in A.
