The effect of  V. vinifera  seeds on carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes and other enzymes of the liver in diabetes is currently unknown. We therefore investigated changes in the activity levels of these enzymes following  V. vinifera  seed extract administration to diabetic rats.  Methods .  V. vinifera  seed ethanolic extract (250 and 500 mg/kg/day) or glibenclamide (600  μ g/kg/day) was administered to streptozotocin-induced male diabetic rats for 28 consecutive days. At the end of treatment, liver was harvested and activity levels of various liver enzymes were determined. Levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were measured in liver homogenates and liver histopathological changes were observed.  Results .  V. vinifera  seed ethanolic extract was able to prevent the decrease in ICDH, SDH, MDH, and G-6-PDH and the increase in LDH activity levels in liver homogenates. The seed extract also caused serum levels of ALT, AST, ALP, ACP, GGT, and total bilirubin to decrease while causing total proteins to increase. Additionally, the levels of ALT, AST, and TBARS in liver homogenates were decreased. Histopathological changes in the liver were reduced.  Conclusion . Near normal activity levels of various enzymes and histology of the liver following  V. vinifera  seed ethanolic extract administration may be due to decrease in liver oxidative stress in diabetes.
