In this experiment, the aqueous bitter kola (Garcinia kola) extract was added to the plasma invitro.
The glucose concentration gotten was then compared with that of the normal blood glucose without the extract.
Test
Six tubes were lined and 100*l of plasma was put into each tubes. Into first three tubes was labelled 20*lE, 50*lE, 100*lE of extract. The second set of three test tubes was labelled 20*l NS,
50*l NS,100*lNS, of normal saline which acted as control.
In test tubes labelled for extract 20*l, 50*l and 100*l of the bitter kola extract was put respectively. The same was done to the normal saline. The tubes were shacked for content to mix. The timing device was set to 1 hour.
This allows a time for the extract to react with the blood glucose. At the end of one hour a blood glucose test was done (as described above). The values were calculated according. The time device set to another one hour, making the reaction time to be two hours. At the end of the two hours the blood glucose test were repeated and values calculated accordingly.
The glucose concentration gotten was then compared with that of the normal blood glucose without the extract.

Bitter kola extract was found to have caused the decrease in the blood
glucose level from 5.3± 0.3 to: 4.8± 0.1 mmol/L with a decrease of 9.4%
using 20ml of extract, 4.6± 0.4mMol/L with a decrease of 13% using 50ml of
extract, 3.9± 0.5 with 26% decrease in glucose concentration using 100ml of
the extract. After 2 hours interval the glucose level was found to have
dropped to: 5.0 ± 0.1 mMol/L with a decrease of 5.6% using 20ml
of extract; 4.7 ± 0.4 mMol/L with a decrease of 11% using 50ml of
extract, 4.2 ± 0.5 mMol/L with a decrease of 20% using 100ml of
the extract reacting with the blood glucose . Indicating a drastic
drop in the glucose level.

I ate 2 to 3 cola bitter in one month . My diabetes dropped from 6.4 to 5.8. Then to 4.9 in another month . I don't know if this is related. I like ur advice.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you. Healthline just published an infographic detailing the effects of diabetes on the body. This is an interactive chart allowing the reader to pick the side effect they want to learn more about.
You can see the overview of the report here: http://www.healthline.com/health/diabetes/effects-on-body
Our users have found our guide very useful and I thought it would be a great resource for your page: http://diabetessymptomsandmanagement.blogspot.com/2012/06/effects-of-bitter-kola-extract-on-blood.html
I would appreciate it if you could review our request and consider adding this visual representation of the effects of diabetes to your site or sharing it on your social media feeds.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
