Impaired erythrocyte deformability was considered to paly an important role in microcirculatory disturbances. We recently confirmed that the brazilin, the main active principle of Caesalpinia sappan, enhanced activity of erythrocyte deformability and reduced blood viscosity. In this study, we examined the effects of brazilin on three biochemical parameters (ATP, 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate, and calcium) which influenced erythrocyte deformability. Treatment with barzilin increased erythrocyte deformability and ATP concentrations in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Concentrations of 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate and calcium in diabetic rats following brazilin administration were decreased significantly compared to those of diabetic control rats. The results suggest that brazilin have a potential effect to improve rheological abnormalities in diabetes.
