Abstract
Banana flavonoids constitute one of the largest groups of naturally occurring phenols. They are ubiquitous in all parts of green plants and as such are likely to be encountered in any work involving plants extracts. Hypoglycemic effects of banana flavonoids have been reported by many investigators. In this study, the relationship between polyphenol intake and the blood glucose response in healthy and diabetic volunteers was examined and reported the hypoglycemic activity of flavonoids. The present investigation demonstrates that flavonoids isolated from raw banana inhibit the elevation of blood sugar and promote the enhancement of glucose utilization and storage in normal laboratory rats when administered at 1 mg/100 g BW daily.
