Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) are polyphenolic compounds with para-hydroxyl functional groups and keto functional groups that participate in antioxidant and chemo preventive action (Sugiyama et al. 1996). THC is a hydrogenation product of curcumin produced by reducing curcumin in an organic solvent using a metal catalyst. Plants play a major role in the introduction of new therapeutic agents and have received much attention as sources of biologically active substances. Pterocarpus marsupium has been used for many years in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Pterostilbene was found to be one of the active constituents in the extracts of the heartwood of Pterocarpus marsupium. Glucose, plasma insulin and glycoprotein components in plasma and tissues (hexose, hexosamine, fucose and sialic acid) were determined.
