Objective: This study was planned to examine the effect of galangin on hyperglycemia mediated oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.Methods: Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal administration of low dose of STZ (40 mg/kg body weight (BW)) into male albino Wistar rats. Galangin (8 mg/kg BW) or glibenclamide (600 μg/kg BW) was given orally daily once for 45 days to normal and STZ-induced diabetic rats.<p class="abstext...
