Plants in folklore medicine has shown to posse’s antidiabetic and hepatoprotective tendencies, owing to the facts that most plant material contains phytochemical which can be therapeutically employed in the management of different pathological conditions. A total of 36 male wistar rat was used for this study, and the animal where divided into six groups of six animal, Group 1: (positive control): Normal rats received only feed and distilled water for three weeks. Group 2:(Negative control): Diabetic rats which received only feed and water. Group 3: In this group, diabetic rats were induced with 150mg/kg of alloxan and treated with low dose of extract (cabbage extract - 150mg/kg) for 3 weeks. Group 4: In this group, diabetic rats were induced with 150mg/kg of alloxan and treated with medium dose of extract (cabbage extract- 300mg/kg) for 3 weeks Group 5: In this group, diabetic rats were induced with 150mg/kg of alloxan and treated with high dose of extract (cabbage extract - 600mgkg).Group 6: In this group, normal rats received high dose of extract (cabbage extract - 600mg/kg) for two weeks before it was induced diabetes 150mg/kg. The results obtained from this study demonstrated that cabbage supplementation reduced the high blood sugar levels as observed in diabetic rats in this study. The present study also indicated a marked increase in the ALP levels which is suggesting an adverse effect of cabbage on the liver, therefore there is the need for more study on the toxicological profile of cabbage on the liver.
