Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the Swietenia macrophylla nanoparticles in protecting pulmonary damage on a diabetic rat. Rats were given Swietenia macrophylla nanoparticles 100 mg, 200 mg, and 400 mg/kg BW orally once in a day for 40 days, and on 3rd day were given Streptozotocin 60 mg/kg BW a single dose intraperitoneally, one hour after Swietenia macrophylla nanoparticles administration. Swietenia macrophylla nanoparticles signicantly decreased both blood glucose and Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, increased plasma insulin and protected pulmonary cell damage on streptozotocin induced-diabetic rat. Swietenia macrophylla nanoparticles have a potent antioxidant and anti-diabetic effect which can provide a protection on pulmonary damage in diabetic rat

Key Words: Swietenia macrophylla, Malondialdehyde, pulmonary damage, rats
