  Background: In previous studies, Sharma et al. has already isolated an anti-hyperglycemic compound from the fruit pulp of Eugenia jambolana using HPLC and other chromatographic techniques. However, the effect of antihyperglycemic compound (FIIc) on the expression of PPAR gamma, IRS-1 and IRS-2 in high sucrose diet induced type 2 diabetic rats has not been studied so far. Methods: There were exactly 24 Male Wistar rats were taken and fed on High Sucrose Diet (HSD) for the development of type 2 diabetic animal for 30 weeks. Active compound FIIc was given to group C and Pioglitazone to group D at dose of 20 mg/kg of b.w. orally for 30 weeks respectively. Blood was drawn for the estimation of plasma glucose and serum insulin at week o and at week 30 from retro orbital plexus. At the end of the study animal were sacrificed and organs including panc..
