AB  - To evaluate the anti-diabetic activities of alcoholic and 
  aqueous extracts of <I>Asteracantha longifolia</I> in Alloxan induced diabetic 
  rats. Methanol and aqueous extracts (250 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> 
  b.w.) of <I>A</I>. <I>longifolia</I> was administered to Alloxan induced diabetic 
  mice for 21 days and blood glucose levels of the diabetic rats were monitored 
  at intervals of hours and days throughout the duration of the experiments. Oral 
  administration of alcoholic extract of <I>A</I>. <I>longifolia</I> leaves to 
  diabetic rats for 21 days significantly reduced the levels of blood glucose 
  levels in both acute and sub acute study.
