番石榴果实粗蛋白提取液的抗糖尿病作用研究

为了研究番石榴果实粗蛋白提取液抗糖尿病的效果,利用四氧嘧啶造糖尿病小鼠模型,通过灌胃给样,7 d后检测小鼠血糖值的变化,并进行胰腺组织切片观察.结果表明,灌胃番石榴果实提取液的实验小鼠血糖明显降低,模型组及空白对照组血糖值无显著变化.切片观察结果也显示,治疗组的切片病变相比于模型组有不同程度的良性改善.因此,番石榴果实...     

偏钒酸铵对四氧嘧啶毒性小鼠空肠组织结构的影晌

目的：研究偏钒酸铵对四氧嘧啶毒性小鼠空肠组织结构的影响。方法：取重量均在30g左右的小鼠60只。分成A、B、C、D、E五组,每组12只,其中A、B、C组为试验组,D组为模型组,E组为空白对照组,适应性饲喂一周后,按200mg／kg的剂量腹腔注射2．5％四氧嘧啶生理盐水,24h后,A、B、C组分别饮饲20mg／L、40mg／L、80mg／L的偏钒酸铵溶液,D组和E组正常饮水。饲水8d后,断脊处死后取空肠标本制作石蜡切片,HE染色,显微观察、摄影。结果：模型组小鼠空肠绒毛变短,部分上皮细胞脱落,肠腺变小且密度减少。饮饲20mg／L的偏钒酸铵溶液时,空肠绒毛和肠腺的组织结构较完整。饮饲40mg／L的偏钒酸铵溶液时,空肠绒毛指状突起结构清晰,排列整齐,肠腺较多。饮饲80mg／L的偏钒酸铵溶液时,空肠绒毛和肠腺的组织结构受到损害。结论：2．5％四氧嘧啶溶液对小鼠的空肠具有毒性作用,而20mg／L和40mg／L偏钒酸铵对其组织结构有一定的保护作用,其中40mg／L最为显著。     

Antidiabetic and antioxidant effects of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Picrorhiza kurrooa</Emphasis> rhizome extracts in diabetic rats

Picrorhiza kurrooa is mentioned in Ayurveda for the treatment of many disorders, but it has not been subjected to systematic scientific investigations to assess its antidiabetic effect. The oral administration of aqueous and methanol extracts of P. kurrooa rhizomes (250 and 500 mg / kg body weight / day) for 15 days significantly reduced blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin and increased total hemoglobin, plasma insulin in alloxan-induced diabetes in albino rats. The treatment also showed significant correction in the level of nitric oxide radicals, superoxide radicals, peroxynitrite radical, lipid peroxidation, glutathione, glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase in the pancreas of alloxan diabetic rats.     

Analysis of Modification of Liver Proteome in Diabetic Rats by 2D Electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-MS

The uncontrolled hyperglycemia can lead to disturbances in the cell structure and functions of organs. This study was performed to analyze the “differential proteome” change in rat liver associated with diabetes mellitus in relation to effects of an anti-diabetic herb, Cynodon dactylon leaf extracts. Rats were intraperitoneally injected with alloxan (150 mg/kg/bw) and treated with C. dactylon leaf extracts (450 mg/kg/bw/day/orally). The liver proteins were subjected to proteome analysis using the advanced technologies i.e., 2D electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry. Comparison of 2-DE protein distribution profiles among the livers from normal, alloxan-induced diabetic rats and alloxan-induced diabetic rats treated with C. dactylon leaves identified three proteins that were up-regulated in alloxan-induced diabetic rats i.e., nucleophosmin, l-xylulose reductase and carbonic anhydrase III which are known to be mainly involved in ribosome biogenesis, centrosome duplication, cell proliferation, tumor suppression, glucose metabolism, osmo-regulation, water–CO₂ balance and acid–base balance. These results help us to understand the elucidation of molecular mechanism connected to liver function and insulin associated with diabetes mellitus. These identified proteins were primarily involved in cell proliferation and homoeostasis of liver tissues upon the treatment with C. dactylon leaf extracts.     

Antidyslipidemic and Antioxidant Activities of Hibiscus rosa sinensis Root Extract in Alloxan Induced Diabetic Rats

The antidyslipidemic activity of Hibiscus rosa sinensis (Malvaceae) root extract has been studied in alloxan induced diabetic rats. In this model, oral administration of root extract (500 mg/kg bw. p.o.) for 15 days resulted in significant decreased in the levels of blood glucose, plasma lipids and reactivated post heparin lipoprotein lipase activity in alloxan induced diabetic rats. Furthermore, the root extract (50–500 μg) when tested for its antioxidant activity, inhibited the generation of super oxide anions and hydroxyl radicals, in both enzymic and non enzymic systems in vitro. The results of the present study demonstrated antidyslipidemic and antioxidant activities in root extract of H. rosa sinensis which could be used in prevention of diabetic-dyslipidemia and related complications.
