On Thursday, March 14, 2024, the College of Medicine at the University of Baghdad discussed the master’s thesis in the field of pharmaceuticals and toxicology, entitled (Evaluation of the effect of steroid and phenol extract of Kava plant on streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia in a rat model) by the student Hajer Ismail Ibrahim. The discussion committee was headed by Prof. Mutaz Fawzi Hussein, and the membership of Prof. Dr. Ghaith Ali Jassim, A. M. Dr.. Huda Ibrahim Qassim, and supervised by A. M. Dr.. Muhammad Qasim Yahya. The thesis aims to evaluate the steroid and phenol extract of kava (aloe vera or foxtail) leaf on their ability to lower blood sugar levels induced in rats by streptozotocin, in addition to their effectiveness as an antioxidant and lipid-lowering substance. It was concluded from the study that this herb has the ability to reduce blood sugar levels significantly as a result of comparing it with glimepiride, by examining the C-peptide, in addition to its effective effect as an antioxidant, through its ability to reduce the percentage of malonidedehyde (MDA) and increase the percentage of glutathione (GSH). Its effective effect is by reducing the percentage of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood and increasing the percentage of beneficial HDL fats. The discussion committee awarded the student a very good grade after conducting a public discussion of her thesis, and taking into consideration her use of scientific references and her discussion of her thesis.
