![]() YRAE normalised alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, when comparing DM1 and Y-DM1 rats, but had no effect on lactate dehydrogenase activity (LDH). The aqueous extract of yacon roots decreased ( p 0.05) between the Y and Y-DM1 groups. The animals from Y2 and Y-DM1 received YRAE by gavage, at 7-day intervals, for 30 days. The diabetes mellitus was induced by streptozotocin (60 mg kg −1 body weight). ![]() ![]() Thirty-two male rats were divided into four groups ( n = 8): control group (C) group that received YRAE (Y) untreated diabetic group (DM1) and diabetic group treated with YRAE (Y-DM1). The aqueous extract of yacon tuberous roots (YRAE 0.76 g fructan kg −1 body weight) was prepared at the moment of each administration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of yacon ( Smallanthus sonchifolius) (Poepp.& Endl.) on clinical parameters under diabetic conditions.
