Background: Moringa oleifera plant is popularly known for its rich phytoconstituents and nutritional value and important medicinal values in both traditional and modern system s of medicine. We explored the present study for measurements of microelements, amino acid, phenolic content in hydro-al - coholic flower and leaf extracts of Moringa oleifera along with anti-diabetic activity in Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic male Wistar rats. Method o logy: The micronutrients were determined by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer at 285 nm and 422 nm for Calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn) , etc . The trace elements were also measured by spectrophotometer. The essential amino acid was determined by using Amino acid analyser. The total phenolic content in hydro-alcoholic extracts (flower and leaf) M. oleifera measured the absorbance at 760 nm by UV spectrophotometer. The screening of anti-diabetic activity HAFE and HALE of Moringa oleifera at two different dose of 100 and 200 mg/kg b.w . for 21 days were performed by determining the changes in biochemical parameters. Result and Discussion: The results revels that the presence of micronutrients, trace elements and amino acids in both flower and leaf of M. oleifera. The hydrolaocholic extracts of HAFE and HALE at 200 mg/kg b.w . showed significant antidiabetic ac t ivity compared with standard Glibenclamide. Whereas dose at 100 mg/kg b.w . showed moderate activity. Conclusion: In conclusion, the M. oleifera exhibits more effective ness against STZ - induced diabetes. The HAFE and HALF extracts exhibited significant anti-diabetic property and active components may be isolated and clinical studies is required for further evaluation. Because of the rich source of phytoconstients, nutritional elements will be helpful in processed food products as dietary supplements especially for malnutrition in children in the current era.
