Due to the effects of fructose on increasing glucose and creating insulin resistant (IR) models, this study aimed to compare the effect of different parts of Citrullus colocynthis extract on insulin resistant of male rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 63 adult male Wistar rats were used. After making IR with fructose 10% induced in drinking water for 8 weeks, the animals were divided into 7 (control, sham, aqueous and hydro-alcoholic extracts of crust and seed and hydro-alcoholic extracts of pulp) groups. After separation of serums, glucose, insulin and insulin resistance index were measured. The results were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and post hoc LSD tests. Results: Hydro-alcoholic extract of crust increased glucose in comparison with control group (p %> http://imtj.gmu.ac.ir/article-1-1474-en.pdf %P 149-154 %& 149 %! %9 Original %L A-10-1180-1 %+ “Diabetes Research Center, Health Institute” & “Physiology Department, School of Medicine”, Jundishapour University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran %G eng %@ 2981-0086 %[ 2013
