Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the samples on the blood levels of glucose, glycohemoglobin(HbAlc), total cholesterol and triglyceride. The samples have been used in the treatment of a type 2 diabetic animal model (C57BlKsj db/db). The samples were administrated orally before each meal for 6 weeks. Cinnamon dose was 50mg/kg/day, 100mg/kg/day, 150mg/kg/day and 200mg/kg/day, respectively. Rhodiola rosea dose was 50mg/kg/day, 100mg/kg/day, 15-mg/kg/day and 200mg/kg/day, respectively. (omitted)
