Studying the hypoglycemic and the antibacterial activity of various plant extract of Urtica dioica

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of methanolic and water (hot,cold) extracts of urtica dioica plant in blood glucose level of aloxan induced diabetic laboratory rats . And also to study the antibacterial activity of these extracts against different groups of gram positive and negative bacterial species . the present study showed the presence of significant p≤ 0.05hypoglycemic activity of blood glucose in the group treated with the hot methanolic extract compared with control and (hot ,cold) water extracts groups.The results showed significant p≤ 0.05 antibacterial activity in the hot methanolic extract against most the gram positive and negative bacterial species compared with standard antibiotics and (hot ,cold) water extracts . The result confirm that hot methanolic extract of urtica dioica has more activity than the water extracts.
