Antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities of extracts of Barleria cuspidata Heyne ex Nees on streptozotocin induced diabetic rats

Traditionally, Barleria cuspidata Heyne ex Nees is utilized for antidiabetic actionwith the absence of logical investigation. Thus, the current examination was attempted to explore for its antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic movement in streptozotocin instigated diabetic animal models. Blood glucose levels were estimated in normoglycemic rats at initial, 60 and 120 minutes intervals and in glucose feed hyperglycemic rats at initial, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after a solitary portion of streptozotocin at 55 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneal were made diabetic in albino rats. Blood glucose levels were estimated atweek byweek spans after everyday administration of chloroform andmethanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata at dosages of 250 and 500mg/kg body weight. Other biochemical boundaries of serum triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, total protein, albumin, globulin, uric acid, creatinine, urea, transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransaminase, insulin and glycosylated hemoglobin were likewise estimated toward the inish of the investigation. Chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata by an oral organization for 21 days altogether (P<0.001) decreases the elevated blood glucose extents in diabetic rats whereas in normoglycemic rats it doesn’t adjust the blood glucose amounts altogether and in glucose feed hyperglycemic rats signi icantly decreases the raised blood glucose levels. Likewise, the chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata improved other biochemical boundaries related to diabetes. Moreover, the extracts of Barleria cuspidata favourable affect the histopathological changes of pancreas in streptozotocin initiated diabetic rats.


INTRODUCTION
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex and multifarious gathering of a metabolic issue with chronic hyperglycaemia that disturbs the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. The starting point and etiology of DM can differ enormously yet consistently remember deserts for either insulin discharge or response of target tissues or in both (Baynest, 2015). The signs of DM are excessive urine creation (polyuria), extreme thirst (polydipsia) and over the top eating (polyphagia). It is extended to become one the world's primary driver for death inside the next 25 years. Areas with the most prominent potential are Asia and Africa, where DM rates could increase to a few folds than the current rate (Ammayappan et al., 2012).
As stated by the report of World Health Organization (WHO), in India alone, just about around 31 million individuals have endured with diabetes in the year 2000 and later on, it is relied upon to raise up to 79 million by 2030 (Jeedi and Koti, 2017) and on the world at 2000 an expected 171 million individuals had diabetes and this is extended to increment to 366 million by 2030 (Piero et al., 2015). The two principle types of DM are insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (Type 1) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (Type 2).
Type 1 DM is fundamentally managed with dietary limitation, exercise and insulin treatment while Type 2 DM is managed with weight decrease, dietary limitation, exercise and medication like oral hypoglycaemics and antihyperglycaemics (Nair, 2007). Constant utilization of oral hypoglycaemics and antihyperglycaemics in Type 2 DM causes hematological impacts and in luences the elements of signi icant organs of the liver, kidney and so on., Worldwide now daily's a number of restorative plants have been accounted for and utilized for treatment of DM, as they are powerful, nontoxic with practically zero reactions and furthermore amazing material for oral treatment (Jeedi and Koti, 2017).
Barleria cuspidata Heyne ex Nees is one of the important species in Barleria belongs to the family Acanthaceae. It is a shrub found in waste places, poor soils and along with roadways (Balkwill and Balkwill, 1997). The roots and leaves were used traditionally in stomach ache, tonic, febrifuge, cough, bronchitis and in in lammation. An earlier study has proved that the plant contains alkaloids, terpenoids, triterpenoids, esters, aliphatic ketones, βcarotene and so on (Tamilselvi et al., 2017). Barleria cuspidata is proved for wound healing property (Mazumder et al., 2009) and hepatoprotective activity (Tabassum et al., 2020). Still, there is a lack in the scienti ic study of the antidiabetic effect of Barleria cuspidata to substantiate the traditional claim. Hence, the current work was embraced to assess the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities of chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata in streptozotocin incited diabetic rodents.

Collection of plant material
The fresh whole plant of Barleria cuspidata Heyne ex Nees (Acanthaceae) pulled together from chittoor districts in the areas of Tirumala Hills and Tirupathi surroundings and authenti ied by Dr K. Madava Chetty, Professor, Department of Botany, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupathi. Andhra Pradesh, India. Voucher specimen (No: BB-1419) of this plant has been kept in the P.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A metabolic disorder which is characterized by hyperglycemia either because of reduction in the coursing levels of insulin or an inadequate response of targeted tissues to insulin is diabetes. In streptozotocin prompted diabetic model, the medication streptozotocin is captured up by pancreatic β cells through glucose carrier GLUT2. In pancreatic β cells, it brings about alkylation of DNA by freeing elevated levels of nitric oxide and nitrosourea, which brings about the harmfulness of cells. At last, hyperglycemia creates and blood insulin levels decline (Szkudelski, 2001).

Figure 1: Effectof CEBC and MEBC treatment on blood glucose level in normoglycemic rats
In the current investigation, the chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata at the dosages of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weights didn't signi icantly suppress the blood glucose levels in overnight abstained normoglycemic rats. While with the standard glibenclamide at the portion of 10 mg/kg body weight shows a noteworthy reduc- tion in blood glucose levels in overnight abstained normoglycemic rats after introductory, irst and the second hour of the oral organization when diverged from control grade of animals which were showed up in Figure 1.
Results, as appeared in Figure 2 of oral glucose tolerance test, uncovered that plasma glucose levels were signi icantly expanded in glucose is taken care of diabetic control when contrasted with glucose took care of non-diabetic control. Treatment with chloroform and methanol concentrate of Barleria cuspidata at a portion of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight per oral and glibenclamide at a segment of 10 mg/kg body weight per oral shows a huge reduction in raised plasma glucose levels of glucose dealt with normal hyperglycemic rats when contrasted and animals got only glucose at a bit 2 g/kg body weight per oral after starting, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min.
In a subchronic antidiabetic study, the consequences of plasma glucose level alternate acquired in normal, streptozotocin instigated diabetic rats and chloroform and methanol extract of Barleria cuspidata treated diabetic rats were appeared in Figure 3. The plasma glucose level of the untreated diabetic rats of Group II stayed raised signi icantly all through the exploratory period on contrasted with normal rats of Group I. Administration of chloroform and methanol extract of Barleria cuspidata at the portions of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight per oral and glibenclamide at a portion of 10 mg/kg body weight per oral reductions the raised plasma glucose levels essentially in streptozotocin prompted diabetic rats of Group III, IV, V, VI and VII when contrasted and untreated diabetic rats of Group II. The outcomes were discovered to be in a dosedependent way and among these the most noticeable antidiabetic movement was seen inside the methanol extract of Barleria cuspidata at the portion of 500 mg/kg body weight when contrasted and that of the standard glibenclamide.
In diabetes mellitus because of different metabolic confusions and advancement of insulin obstruction may animate lipolysis in the fat tissue and offer ascent to hyperlipidemia. Hence, diabetes hyperlipidemia happens and which is related to cardiovascular danger (Jamwal and Kumar, 2019;Suman et al., 2013). Figure 4 uncover the chloroform and methanol concentrate of Barleria cuspidata consequences for serum lipid levels in control and experimental groups. It was seen that the diabetic rats of group II indicated the raised degrees of serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and VLDL cholesterol and diminished degrees of HDL cholesterol on contrasted and normal rats of group I. Oral treatment with chloroform and methanol extract of Barleria cuspidata at tried portions of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight signi icantly brought down the raised degrees of serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and VLDL cholesterol and expanded the degrees of HDL cholesterol on contrasted and diabetic control. These impacts are giving off an impression of being equivalent with that of standard glibenclamide at the portion of 10 mg/kg body weight. In this manner, the aftereffects of chloroform and methanol concentrate of Barleria cuspidata consequences for serum lipid levels reports in a decrease in the cardiovascular danger related to diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus is frightfully speculated by an outrageous substitute in the protein digestion and by negative nitrogen equality and loss of nitrogen from most organs (Prakasam et al., 2004;Pasupathi et al., 2009). Figure 5 speaks to the adequacy of chloroform and methanol concentrates of Barleria cuspidata on serum protein levels in diabetic rats. The total protein, albumin and globulin levels were signi icantly (P<0.001) changed in STZ instigated diabetic rats contrasted with normal control group rats. The decrease in serum total protein, globulin and albumin levels had been accounted for in diabetic rats and this is demonstrated by an expansion in the lipid peroxidation and a diminished antioxidant shielding system (Chandramohan et al., 2009). The current investigation uncovered that diabetic rats treated with chloroform and methanol extracts at portions of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight of Barleria cuspidata and standard glibenclamide at the portion of 10 mg/kg body weight signi icantly improved the serum total protein, globulin and albumin levels in contrast with both normal and diabetic control groups.
The liver has a conspicuous function in the metabolism of insulin and upkeep of glucose homeostasis in fasting and non-fasting conditions. Liver dysfunction results in hepatic insulin resistance and causes progression in diabetes (Jamwal and Kumar, 2019). Aminotransferases, for example, SGOT, SGPT, ALP and ALT are the common hepatic marker compounds are referred to re lects in hepatocellular necrosis as they are delivered into the blood course after cell membrane damage (Bhatia and Jain, 2003). The mild and chronic elevation of aminotransferases is a marker of hepatic insulin resistance. The builds levels of ALT and SGOT are a clinical component of metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetic (Jamwal and Kumar, 2019). In the present investigation, modi ication in hepatic marker catalysts is adjusted with builds levels of aminotransferases in diabetic rats. Figure 6 shows the exercises of hepatic marker enzymes in exploratory rats. When contrasted and the normal rats, the diabetic rats signi icantly (p<0.001) rise the degrees of SGOT, SGPT, ALP and ALT. In the current investigation the diabetic rats treated with chloroform and methanol extracts at portions of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight of Barleria cuspidata and standard glibenclamide at the portion of 10 mg/kg body weight altogether (p<0.001) brings down the raised degrees of SGOT, SGPT, ALP and ALT in contrast with diabetic control groups. In this manner, the consequences of chloroform and methanol extract of Barleria cuspidata impacts on hepatic marker enzymes improves the liver capacity in diabetic rats and furthermore diminishes the hepatic insulin resistance.
Diabetic nephropathy is the harm of kidney, the accepted reason for which is deserted raised glucose and raised blood pressure. Diabetic nephropathy related to morphological and ultrastructural changes inside the kidney is dictated by the clinical indication of the ailment. Streptozotocin-induced rats exhibit the trademark highlights of diabetic nephropathy, for example, expanded measures of serum creatinine, urea and uric acid (Reddy et al., 2019). In the current investigation, kidney function markers, for example, creatinine, urea and uric acid extent were signi icantly (p<0.001) brought up in diabetic rats contrasted with ordinary rats. The diabetic rats handled with chloroform and methanol extracts at portions of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight of Barleria cuspidata and standard glibenclamide at the portion of 10 mg/kg body weight signi icantly (p<0.001) brings down the raised degrees of serum creatinine, urea and uric acid in contrast with diabetic control groups. Along these lines, the outcomes appeared in Figure 7 of chloroform and methanol extract of Barleria cuspidata consequences for kidney function markers improves the kidney function in diabetic rats. Figure 8 speaks to the adequacy of chloroform and methanol concentrates of Barleria cuspidata on serum insulin and glycosylated hemoglobin levels. Streptozotocin causes an irregular β-cell working by weakening glucose oxidation and diminishing glucose biosynthesis and discharge (Koksal, 2015). In the current examination on the organization of streptozotocin diminishes the serum insulin levels in diabetic rats, contrasted and normal rats speak to the β-cell damage. The diabetic rats treated with chloroform and methanol extracts at portions of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight of Barleria cuspidata and standard glibenclamide at the portion of 10 mg/kg body weight signi icantly (p<0.001) rises the serum insulin levels in contrast with diabetic rats. Increment in the serum insulin levels on treated with extracts of Barleria cuspidata in streptozotocin-diabetic rats might be because of its defensive activity against streptozotocin interceded harm to the pancreatic β-cells and furthermore conceivable due to recovery of harmed β-cell or expanded insulin delivery or discharge.
Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is the result of non-enzymatic response among glucose and free amino acid groups of haemoglobin (glycosylation). It is a marker of the rise of long-term glycemic control in diabetic patients and predicts risk for the improvement of and additionally, movement of diabetic complications (Ramachandran et al., 2012). In the current investigation, the aftereffects speak to the expanded degrees of HbA1c in diabetic rats contrasted with normal control rats which demonstrate the event of glycosylation in diabetic rats because of hyperglycemia. Treatment with chloroform and methanol extracts at dosages of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight of Barleria cuspidata and standard glibenclamide at the portion of 10 mg/kg body weight signi icantly (p<0.001) diminished the serum HbA1c levels contrasted with diabetic rats. Subsequently, the aftereffects of chloroform and methanol extract of Barleria cuspidata impacts on HbA1c speaks to a capacity to prevent the improvement of diabetes-related complications. Figure 9 portrayed the histopathological observations of STZ incited diabetic rat pancreas of various groups treated with chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata for 28 days. The structural changes in pancreas re lect changes in metabolic cycles of discharge; sensitivity and regulation of insulin. Atrophy of islets, the decline in the beta cells, and cell degeneration are showing highlights of pancreatic destruction. Fat and amyloid tissue deposition happen in the islets, and the quantity of beta cells is radically decreased in terminal phases of diabetes (Jaiswal et al., 2017). In the current investigation islets of the pancreas were watched as without change in size and structure in normal control rats whereas the pancreas of STZ initiated diabetic rats, damage of islets with shrunken in size and destruction of cells. In STZ instigated diabetic rats handled with chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata at 500 mg/kg body weight and standard glibenclamide at the portion of 10 mg/kg body weight individually, pancreatic islets are practically identical with normal rats and very little change in their size and structure in spite of the fact that with slight damage were watched.

CONCLUSIONS
The aftereffects concluded that chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata are justi ied for its traditional use of antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activity. The extracts of Barleria cuspidata shows signi icant antidiabetic activity which is comparable to that of standard drug glibenclamide. Accordingly, the chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata can be useful, at least as an adjunct, in the therapy of diabetes. Present endeavours are composed to separate the dynamic constituents from the various extract of plant and explanation of component of the activity.
