Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and defects in insulin secretion, resistance to insulin action or both is created. Research has shown that aqueous extracts of white tea has antioxidant properties, but few studies have been conducted on the effects of diabetic and hyperlipidemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of white tea on lipid profile and blood glucose in diabetic rats with streptozotocin is. Materials and Methods: In this study, 32 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 8 animals were: first group: Use of the standard diet and the control rats daily by gavage cc distilled water. Second group: Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Group Third: Normal water extract of white tea (5.1 percent) consumed. Group Four: Diabetic rats that aqueous extracts of white tea (5.1 percent) consumed. After the Timurid period (30 days) to determine blood glucose levels and lipid profile was performed and the data were analyzed with SPSS software (P <0.05). Results: The results showed that aqueous extracts of white tea could serum levels of glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol levels significantly increased (P <0.05). Conclusion: Considering the results, it appears that aqueous extracts of white tea can be used on diabetic hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia‎‎.
