Master's Thesis at the University of Basrah Investigates the Effect of Active Compounds on Diabetic Rats
A master's thesis at the College of Education in Al-Qurna, University of Basrah, entitled "A Study of the Effect of the Active Compounds of the Hot Aqueous Extract of Basil Leaves on Some Hematological, Biochemical, and Histological Parameters in Male Rats Induced with Diabetes," investigated the effects of these compounds on the blood, biochemical, and histological parameters of laboratory rats.
The thesis, submitted by student Noor Al-Huda Nadhim Abdullah, involved identifying the active compounds in the hot aqueous extract of basil leaves and studying their effect on blood, biochemical, and histological parameters after inducing diabetes in male laboratory rats using alloxan, and then treating them with the extract for specific periods.
The thesis aimed to determine the effects of administering the toxic compound alloxan on blood, biochemical, and histological parameters, and to identify the histological changes that occur after administering the extract and subsequent treatment.
The study concluded that the active compounds in the hot aqueous extract of basil leaves have an effect on improving some blood, biochemical, and histological parameters associated with diabetes in laboratory rats.
