The aim of this study was to estimate the possible hypoglycemic effect of the methanolic extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera bark in rats made diabetic by streptozotocin. Initially, our study focused on a triphytochemistry of our extract. It showed that the methanolic bark extract is richer in polyphenols, flavonoids, quinones, saponosides, stereol-polyterpens, gall tannins and catechic tannins but poor in alkaloids and anthocyanins. We found that the methanolic extract of the bark has a dose-dependent hypoglycemic activity. First, experimental diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats by intraperitoneal injection of STZ (50mg/kg). Treatment with a methanolic extract of the plant was given orally at daily doses of 250, 500, 750 mg/kg/pc for 14 days. The results obtained, clearly show that streptozotocin induces in animals, a diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia. However, the oral administration of doses of methanolic bark extract for 14 days caused a clear decrease in serum glucose concentration.
