Abstract
This study shows that tualang honey does not produce antioxidant effect in non-diabetic rats. neither does tt increase or
decrease blood glucose in normal/healthy rats.
Our results also show that tualang honey. in a dose dependent response, ameliorates oxidative stress in kidney of
diabetic rats and also has hypoglycemic effect.
Tualang honey produces weight gain more than glibenclamide and/or metformin in experimental diabetes.
