Pharmacological studies of Cordia salicifolia Cham in normal and diabetic rats
The anti-obesity, appetite suppressant, diuretic and hipolipidemic effect of dried powdered leaves of Cordia salicifolia Cham (CS) were investigated. CS (20 mg.kg-1.day-1) dissolved in water was daily administered by gavage during 13 days. In contrast with the popular use as anti-obesity, appetite suppressant and diuretic, no effect were detected.
