 | | Agrimony by Ray Sahelian, M.D. The yellow, star-shaped blossoms of Agrimonia eupatoria, have long been used for medicinal purposes. |
 | | Here, the effects of dietary administration of agrimony on streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic mice and on in vitro glucose uptake and glucose metabolism, and on insulin secretion by BRIN-BD11 cells were investigated. |
 | | Agrimony incorporated into the diet (62.5 g/kg) and drinking water (2.5 g/l) countered the weight loss, polydipsia, hyperphagia and hyperglycaemia of STZ-diabetic mice. |
