Abstract
The effect of feeding quercetin at the level of 1 g per kilogram of diet was studied in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. The study involved a comparison between a starch-fed diabetic group and quercetin-fed diabetic group. The rats were examined for diet intake, water intake, gain in body weight, urine output, urine sugar, and fasting blood sugar. Diabetic status in rats was found to be ameliorated about 25% in rats fed with quercetin.
