Effects of water extracts of antler on blood sugar levels were studied in normal rats and KK-mice. a spontaneously diabetic strain of murine. Blood sugar levels were determined at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after intraperitoneal administration of 1 ml/kg or 2ml/kg AE into normal rats. A moderate but significant decrease in blood sugar level was noticed only in 30 minutes following 2 ml/kg AE administration. On the other hand no significant changes in blood sugar level was observed in KK-mice to which 1ml/kg/day AE had been given for 10 weeks. The results of present study strongly indicate that antler extract exerts no significant effect on blood sugar levels in experimental animals.
