Also estimation the activity of aldol reductase enzyme was done , as well as estimation insulin hormone level and insulin resistance .
The results show that treatment with herbs lead to a significant decrease in Glucose , Total cholesterol , VDL-c., LDL-c., TG., creatinine , GOT., MDA l in the model type II diabetic mellitus patients and also a significant decrease in Glucose, creatinine , MDA in the long time type II diabetic mellitus patients especially when combination with both daonil and metformin were used , also a significant increase in non-enzymatic(GSH., vitamin C , E) and enzymatic (GPx) antioxidant levels for two groups of patients . |
