This study was designed to examine the effects of Salicornia herbacea L. (glasswort: GW) on the plasma blood glucose and lipid metabolites in diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-220g by an injection of streptozotocin (STZ) dissolved in a citrate buffer into the tail vein at a dose of 45 mg/kg of body weight. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed an AIN-93 recommended diet and the experimental groups were fed a modified diet containing 10% and 20% of glasswort powder for 4 weeks. The experimental groups were divided into 6 groups which consisted of normal (N)-control group, N-GW 10% and N-GW 20% treated groups, STZ-control, STZ-GW 10% and STZ-GW 20% treated groups. The rats' body weights, aminotransferase activities and hematocrit (Hct) values were measured, along with plasma levels of glucose, protein, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride (TG) and free fatty acids (FFA). The non-diabetic rats gained weight, while the diabetic rats lost weight. There were significant differences between the control group and the diabetic groups in the weight of the kidney, liver and pancreas. Asparate aminotransferase activity was lower in the non-diabetic control group compared to diabetic experimental groups, even though the difference was not significant. The plasma protein of N-GW 20% group was lower among all experimental groups but it was not significantly different. The blood glucose levels of the STZ-GW 10% group and STZ-GW 20% group were significantly lower than for the diabetic-control group. There were no significant difference of cholesterol levels among diabetic groups. The normal rats of 20% glasswort group in FFA and TG levels showed significant changes among all groups. These results exhibited dose related effect of glasswort and it may contain antihypoglycemic compounds.

Sprague-Dawley 수컷에 streptozotocin (50 mg/kg body weight)을 복강 주사하여 유발시킨 당뇨군에서 베타인(1%, w/w) 첨가에 의한 항당뇨 및 간보호 효과를 검토하였다. Streptozotocin-유발 당뇨군에서 혈당치 및 fructosamine 농도가 현저히 증가하였고, 이러한 증가는 베타인 투여로 감소하였다. 간 기능의 biomarker로 사용되는 alanine aminotransferase (AST) 및 aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) 활성은 당뇨군에서 현저히 증가한 반면 간보호 효과가 있는 베타인 투여 당뇨군에서는 정상군 수준으로 회복됨으로써 당뇨성 간 손상에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 혈중 중성지질 농도는 당뇨군에서 현저히 증가하였으나, 베타인 투여에 의해 정상군 수준까지 감소하였으나, 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 베타인 첨가에 의해 증가하였다. 췌장 조직의 조직검사에서 췌도 세포의 정상적인 타원형 모양이 정상군에서는 잘 유지되었으나, Streptozotocin-유발 당뇨군에서는 췌도 세포의 파괴가 일어났으며, 베타인 투여에 의해서는 회복된 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 당뇨군에서 베타인 투여에 의한 혈당강하 효과는 췌장의 췌도세포 파괴 억제에 의한 것으로 시사되었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of saponin in the shoot of Aralia elata on serum lipid level and glucose in streptozotocin(STZ) induced diabetic rats. Sprague Dawley normal male rats weighing 70$\pm$5g were randomly assigned to normal(control group), crude saponin(S group), and shoot of Aralia elata(D group). Experimental diets have been fed for 6 weeks. STZ induced diabetic rats were classified to diabetic control(DC group) and crude saponin(DS group). Diabetic rats were experimentally induced by intravenous injection of STZ(65mg/kg of body weight) dissolved in citrate buffer(pH 4.5). DS group has been i.p. injected with crude saponin solved in phosphate buffer(pH 7.0, 10mg/100g body weight) and DC group fed for 10 days. Body weight decreased significantly in crude saponin group. Feed intakes and feed efficiency ratio were not significantly different among C, S, and D group. The crude saponin group has indicated the lowest values of serum total cholesterol, glucose, and triglyceride. However, the values of serum glucose and triglyceride were not significant. Insulin levels among the crude saponin group, the shoot powder group, and the control group were not significantly different. When STZ induced diabetic rats have i.p. injection of crude saponin, the crude saponin has reduced the serum glucose but it is not been significant.

식이내 비타민 E 함량을 0mg vit. E/kg diet(STZ-OE군), 40mg vit. E/kg diet(STZ-40E군) 그리고 40mg vit. E/kg diet(STZ-400E군)로 달리하여 4주간 사육한 후 streptozotocin으로 당뇨병을 유발한 후 4일째에 희생시켜, 당뇨병 쥐에 있어서 MT합성에 미치는 비타민 E의 영향을 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 체중증가는 STZ을 투여하기 전까지는 대조군에 비해 STZ-0E군만 낮았으나 STZ투여한 후에는 STZ투여군들 모두가 현저하게 감소하였다. 실험군간을 비교해 보면 STZ-400E군이 STZ-0E, STZ-40E군에 비해 STZ을 투여한 후 감소율이 낮았다. 혈당량은 당뇨군들이 대조군에 비해 약 3배 정도 높았으나, 당뇨군들 중에서 비타민 E의 영향은 없었다. 간조직 중의 비타민 E 함량은 STZ-0E 및 STZ-40E군에서는 대조군 보다 각각 50, 36%씩 크게 감소되었으나 STZ-400E군은 차이가 없었다. Glutathione(GSH) 함량은 비타민 E의 다량 첨가군(STZ-400E)에서 GSH 함량과 GSH/GSSG비가 증가되었다. 간조직 중의 지질과산화가는 STZ-0E군과 STZ-40E군이 대조군 보다 5.6, 2.5배씩 높았으나 STZ-400E군은 유의적인 차이가 없었다. Piasma insulin level은 대조군에 비해 당뇨유발군 모두가 현저하게 감소하였고, 비타민 E의 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. Piasma cortisol level은 대조군에 비해 STZ-0E, STZ-40E군이 증가하였으나 STZ-400E군은 이들 두군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하여 대조군 수준이었다. 간장, 신장, 소장조직의 MT 함량은 대조군에 비해 당뇨유발군이 각각 5.3, 2.8, 16배 정도 현저히 증가되었는데 STZ-400E군은 STZ-0E, STZ-40E 이들 두군에 비해 현저하게 감소되었다. Sephadex G-75를 사용하여 간조직 중의 Zn-MT를 분리한 결과 당뇨 유발군에서 대조군 보다 Zn-MT peak가 증가되었으나 Cu-MT는 변화가 없었다. Zn-MT는 DEAE A-25를 사용하여 MTI, MTII peak를 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 STZ유발 당뇨쥐는 산화적 stress에 더욱 감수성이 높으므로 지질과 산화 반응이 정상군에 비해 촉진되었으며, 식이 중 공급되는 비타민 E 함량이 부족시는 더욱 가속화되었다. 더불어 간조직 중의 MT합성도 같은 양상으로 증가되어 당뇨병이 free radical 생성으로 인해 MT를 유도하는 하나의 새로운 인자인 것으로 확인하였다. 그러나 식이 중 비타민 E의 다량 급여시는 생체내 항산화계 효소들이 정상군에 가깝게 활성화되고, 생리적 항산화물질이 증가되었다. 따라서 식이비타민 E가 당뇨병으로 인한 지질과산화에 대한 항산화적 방어기구를 강화시키므로써 조직의 과산화적 손상을 환화시키는데 크게 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 비타민 E 다량 투여로 간조직과 신장, 소장조직내의 total MT 함량이 감소되고 분리정제한 Zn-MT의 peak가 감소하는 것으로 보아 MT가 free radical scavenger로서 작용한 것이라고 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 STZ 유발 당뇨 쥐에서 고혈당 및 산화적 스트레스 관련 간 손상 기전에 oligonol의 영향에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 10일 동안 oligonol을 투여한 결과 20 mg/kg oligonol 투여군에서 당뇨대조군에 비해 간 무게 및 간조직의 glucose, ROS, peroxynitrite, 지질과산화물 농도가 유의적으로 감소하였다. 간조직의 항산화 효소 단백질 발현을 측정한 결과 정상군에 비해 당뇨대조군에서 발현 정도가 낮아졌지만 oligonol 투여군에서는 유의적으로 증가하였다. 또한 caspase-3 효소의 단백질 발현은 당뇨대조군에서 증가하였으나 oligonol 투여군에서 그 발현이 억제되었다. 따라서 oligonol의 투여는 STZ-유발 당뇨 모델에서 ROS 및 지질과산화물 생성 억제와 항산화효소 작용의 증가 및 세포 사멸 작용이 있는 caspase-3 발현 억제를 통해 고혈당 및 산화적 스트레스에 의해 유발되는 간 손상에 대한 보호 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

This study examined the anti-diabetic effect of onion (Allium cepa. Linn) in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into normal rats fed control diet or supplemented with onion powder (7% w/w) and diabetic rats fed control diet or supplemented with onion powder. Diabetes was induced by a single injection of STZ (60 mg/kg, ip) in citrate buffer. The animals were fed each of the experimental diet for 5 weeks. Blood glucose levels of rats supplemented with onion were lower than those of rats fed control diet in the diabetic rats. Onion also decreased the total serum lipid, triglyceride, and atherogenic index and increased HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio in the diabetic rats. Glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione S-transferase activities were high in the diabetic rats compared to normal rats and reverted to near-control values by onion. These results indicate that onion decreased blood glucose, serum lipid levels and reduced renal oxidative stress in STZ-induced diabetic rats and this effect might exert the anti-diabetic effect of onion.

Objectives: The present study was carried out to investigate the preventive effects of Samgijiwhang-Tang(SJT) on streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic nephropathy. Methods: SIT was given to rats through oral administration. The experimental animals were divided into a normal group of rats, a control group of STZ-induced diabetic rats, and a sample group with SIT administration. Rehmanniae Radix Preparat is combined in the original prescription of SIT, but in this experiment, Rehmanniae Radix was combined instead of Rehmanniae Radix Preparat to compare the effects of anti-diabetic nephropathy. Experimental diabetic nephropathy was induced by the injection of STZ(60mg/kg) in the rat via the peritoneum. The effect of SIT on STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy was observed by measuring the serum level of creatinine and BUN, in addition to urine secretion of albumin for 24 hours and the level of glucose found in the urine. Anti-oxidative stress of SIT administration in a living body was estimated by measuring lipid peroxide and GSH content in the cortex of kidneys. Results: STZ induced an increase of serum creatinine, urine glucose and renal cortical lipid peroxidation was lowered by Rehmanniae Radix Preparat combined SIT administration. Conclusions: The SIT treatment showed a protective effect on the rat diabetic nephropathy model, and action mechanism of the effect was thought to be concerned with anti-oxidative stress.

The hypoglycemic effects of 2 mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus edodes, on streptozotocin(STZ) induced diabetic rats were investigated in this study . Diabets mellitus was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by the injection of STZinto the tail vein at a dose of 45mg/kg. Sprague-Dawley male rats(200-250g) were assigned to one control and three STZ-diabetic groups. Diabetic groups were assigned to STZ-control, pleurotus ostreatus and Lenitinus edodes groups. All groups were fed a AIN 76 diet. The two experimental groups were fed with each protein-bound polysaccharide(150mg/kg BW) for 14 days and with carboxymethyl cellulose for STZ-control group. The body weight gain was monitored and the blood levels of glucose and cholesterol were measured . Levels of protein triglyceride, and free fatty acid in plasma were analysed. Serum aminotransferase activity as also measured. The body weight gain was lower in the all diabetic groups than in the of normal group. The weight of spleen was reduced by adminstration of the Lentinus edodes protein-bound polysaccharides. The result suggest that orally administered Lentinus edodes protein-bound polysaccharides exhibited hypoglycemic effect in STZ -induced diabetic rats and that these protein-bound polysaccharides may be useful for the management of diabetes mellitus.
