Materials and methods: Blood glucose, serum total cholesterol, serum triglyceride and body weight proportion were assessed in streptozotacin and triton induced diabetic rats at a regular interval of time. The statistical analysis was done on streptozotacin induced diabetic for 28 days. Result: It is observed that there is significant decrease in blood glucose, serum total cholesterol and serum triglyceride after administration of sprout extract of triticum aestivum of dose 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 800mg/kg to diabetic and lipidemic rats.
