The present investigation evaluate the antidiabetic effect of Citrullus colocynthis on liver hexokinase and gluconeogenic enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose 1, 6-bisphosphatase in the liver of control and alloxan-diabetic rats. Oral administration of leaf suspension of Citrullus colocynthis (250mg and 500mg /kg body weight) for 60 days resulted in momentous reduction in blood glucose (from 381 ± 34 to 105 ± 35), glycosylated hemoglobin, a decrease in the activities of glucose-6 phosphatase and fructose 1, 6-bisphosphatase, and an increase in the activity of liver hexokinase. The enzymatic antioxidants such as catalase, super oxide dismutase, glutathaione reductase, glutathaione reductase and glutathiaone-S- transferase and non enzymic antioxidant (ascorbic acid, ά- tocoperol, reduced glutathiaone, total carotenoids and flavonoids) were found to be present. The result obtained in the present study indicated that the coastal medicinal plant Citrullus colocynthis might be a good source of natural antidiabetic and antioxidant source.
