Resumo

Cissus verticillata, a Vitaceae very used in the traditional medicine in Pará and Minas Gerais State -Brazil, was investigated in order to validate its indication for the hyperglycaemia control.The aqueous extract reduces the normal glycaemia of male white Wistar rats in about 19.5 %.The hypoglycaemic effect of this extract could be related to the flavonoids found in the preparation.Luteolin, Kaempferol and Luteolin-3'-sulphate could be isolated from the aqueous extract after acid hydrolysis.
