Summary
The decocts prepared from the root and stem of the plant, when administred orally to rabbits, cause a fall in blood sugar level which is highly significant after the dose of 5 g/kg. The log dose/effect curve forms a straight line which confirms the accuracy of the effects observed. Preparations from the fruit were without any effect.
