Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a disease that annually causes many deaths, and to date no really efficient remedy has been found. We studied a number of plants traditionally used in Mexico against diabetes, some of them since prehispanic times. Specimens of each species were collected and extracts from them were tested on CD₁ strain mice with alloxan-induced diabetes. Hypoglucemic activity was determined by the O-toluidine and the Dextrostix tape methods. Several of the plants showed a marked hypoglucemic effect.
