20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of Nigeria

Abstract

This study shows that <i>G. lactifolium</i> consumption among lactating rats maintains metabolic homeostatic as it protects against elevated blood glucose level and dyslipidemia in offspring post-weaning. It also suggests that the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties of <i>G. latifolium</i> maybe as a result of saponin and flavonoids inherent in the plant.
