Chronic hyperglycemia and deficiency of insulin are peculiar features of diabetes mellitus alters glycoprotein levels in various tissues leads to impaired metabolism of glycoproteins which play a major role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Boswellia ovalifoliolata is a medicinal plant known for its many medicinal properties including diabetes. In this background our study was aimed to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of stem bark of Boswellia ovalifoliolata (AESBBO) on antidiabetic and glycoprotein metabolism.
