This study was designed to examine the effects of sea buckthorn (SBT) on the plasma blood glucose and cholesterol level in diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200~220 g 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 SBT powder for 4 weeks. The experimental groups were divided into 6 groups which consisted of normal (N)-control group, N-SBT 10% and N-SBT 20% treated groups, STZ-control, STZ-SBT 10% and STZ-SBT 20% treated groups. The rats' body weight, aminotransferase activities and hematocrit (Hct) values were measured along with plasma levels of blood glucose and cholesterol. Body weight losses were observed by diabetic groups While the nondiabetic rats gained weight. There were significant differences between the control group and the diabetic groups in the weight of kidney. Aspartate aminotransferase activity was lower in the non-diabetic group compared to diabetic experimental groups. The blood glucose were significantly decreased in the 10% SBT of diabetic group. The cholesterol level of STZ-SBT 10% and STZ- SBT 20% were significantly lower than for the STZ-control group. These results show that the supplementation of sea buckthorn leave powder may have favorable influence on reducing blood glucose and cholesterol level in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

STZ(50mg/kg BW)을 대퇴부 근육에 주사하여 당뇨를 유발시킨 당뇨 흰쥐(Sprague Dawley, 수컷)에서 10% 부추 첨가식이가 혈액과 적혈구, 간조직의 지질과산화 정도와 항산화 효소계 활성 및 GSH 수준에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험군은 정상군, 당뇨대조군, 당뇨부추군의 3군 (n=10)으로 나누었으며 4주간 사육한 후 실험에 이용하였다. STZ로 유발된 당뇨대조군의 적혈구, 간과 LDL의 TBARS와 conjugated dienes 함량은 대조군에 비해 증가하였으나, 당뇨부추군에서는 적혈구의 conjugated dienes 수준이 유의적으로 감소하였고(p<0.05), 간과 LDL의 TBARS 수준은 당뇨대조군에 비해 다소 감소하여 정상대조군과 차이를 보이지 않았다. 간에서의 항산화 효소계 중 SOD 활성은 대조군에 비해 당뇨대조군에서 증가하였고, catalase 활성은 당뇨대조군에 비해 부추를 섭취한 당뇨군에서 유의적으로 증가하였다. GSH-px와 GSH-red 활성은 대조군에 비해 당뇨대조군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으나(p<0.05), 당뇨부추군에서는 다소 증가하였다. 간의 GSH 함량은 대조군과 당뇨대조군에 비해 당뇨부추군에서 유의적으로 증가하였으며(p<0.01), 혈장의 GSH 함량은 대조군에 비해 당뇨군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다(p＜0.05). GOT와 GPT 활성은 정상대조군에 비해 당뇨대조군에서 급격히 증가하였으나 당뇨부추군에서는 정상군 수준으로 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 부추는 간의 항산화효소계를 활성화시키고 간조직의 GSH수준을 높게 유지하여 고혈당과 STZ로부터 유발된 산화적 스트레스(지질과산화)를 해소함으로써 당뇨로 인한 합병증 예방 및 치료를 위한 식품자원으로 활용이 가능한 것으로 사료된다.도 및 동맥경화지수를 낮추는 효과가 있고, HDL- 콜레스테롤 농도를 증가시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.각된다. 7) 발병부위는 대부분 막성유리연의 중간부 및 전방부 1/3에서 발생하였고 수술 결과는 저류낭종 82례 중 25례(30.5%)에서만 낭종의 파열 없이 완전제거가 가능하였으며 유표피낭종 30례 중에서는 21례(70.0%)에서 완전제거가 가능했던 것으로 나타나 저류낭종이 유표피낭종에 비해 낭종을 파열시키지 않고 완전히 제거하는 것이 더욱 어려움을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 저류낭종의 경우 낭종의 절제가 어려운 경우 수술방법으로 조대술(marsupialization)을 시행하는 것도 의미가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 8) 수술 전 후의 음성만족도를 비교한 조사 결과 조사가 가능했던 82례 중 49례(52.0%)에서 만족할 만한 결과를 보였다고 답하여 성대 폴립수술 후의 만족도와 유사한 결과를 보였다.14%, V. mimicus 10%, V. parahaemolyticus 4%, E. coli O157:H7 48%에서 증식되지 않았지만 S. typhimurium은 50%에서도 집락이 검출되었다. 젖산의 경우 V. vulnificus 2%, V. cholerae non-O1 3%, V. mimicus 4%, V. parahaemolyticus 3%, S. typhimurium 14%, E. coli O157:H7 17%에서 증식되지 않았다. 식초와 젖산은 낮은 농도에서 생선회 식중독 유발에 주 원인균이 되는 Vibrio 속의 생육을 억제하였고, S. typhimurium과 E. coli O157:H7의 생육은 비교적 약하게 나타났다.은 고농도로 갈수록 심한 영향을 미쳤으며 저 농도 에서도 폭로시간이 길어짐에 따라 나타나는 SO$_2$의영향이

Diabetic nephropathy remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the diabetic population and is the leading cause of end-stage renal failure. Despite current therapeutics including intensified glycemic control and blood pressure lowering agents, renal disease continues to progress relentlessly in diabetic patients, albeit at a lower rate. Since synthetic drugs for diabetes are known to have side effects, fungal mushrooms as a natural product come into preventing the development of diabetes. Our previous report showed the hypoglycemic effect of extracellular fungal polysaccharides (EPS) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. In this study, we analyzed the differential expression patterns of rat kidney proteins from normal, STZ-induced diabetic, and EPS-treated diabetic rats, to discover diabetes-associated proteins in rat kidney. The results of proteomic analysis revealed that up to 500 protein spots were visualized, of which 291 spots were differentially expressed in the three experimental groups. Eventually, 51 spots were statistically significant and were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting. Among the differentially expressed renal proteins, 10 were increased and 16 were decreased significantly in diabetic rat kidney. The levels of different proteins, altered after diabetes induction, were returned to approximately those of the healthy rats by EPS treatment. A histopathological examination showed that EPS administration restored the impaired kidney to almost normal architecture. The study of protein expression in the normal and diabetic kidney tissues enabled us to find several diabetic nephropathy-specific proteins, such as phospholipids scramblase 3 and tropomyosin 3, which have not been mentioned yet in connection with diabetes.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of fractions of methanol(MeOH) extracts of Lycopus lucidic Turcz on hyperglycemia and energy metabolites in streptozotocin(STZ) diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-220 g by an injection of STZ dissolved in a citrate buffer into the tail vein at a dose of 45 mg/kg of body weight, and the rats were divided into 7 groups, that is, one normal group and 6 diabetic groups: STZ-control, hexane, chloroform(CHCl$\sub$3/). ethylacetate(EtOAc), butanol(BuOH) and H$\sub$2/O fraction-fed groups. All groups were fed an AIN-93 diet and the fractions of Lycopus lucidic Turcz were administered orally with 2 % Tween 80 for 14 days after the STZ injection. Body weight, diet intake and organ weights were monitored. The plasma levels of blood glucose, insulin and protein were determined. The plasma concentrations of cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and free fatty acid were assayed. The plasma activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase(ALT) were also measured. Body weight losses were observed by feeding the fractions of Lycopus lucidic Turcz in STZ experimental groups, and the kidney weight was increased. The extent of blood glucose decrement was significantly greater in the hexane and BuOH fraction-fed groups than STZ-control group. The plasma protein level was significantly lower in the H$\sub$2/O fraction-fed group. The plasma cholesterol level was decreased in BuOH and H$\sub$2/O fraction-fed groups compared with the STZ-control group. The levels of free fatty acids in the CHC1$\sub$3/ and H$\sub$2/O fraction-fed groups were significantly decreased(p<0.05). ALT activitiy of BuOH fraction-fed group was lower than control but it was not significantly different. These results suggest that the fractions of Lycopus lucidic Turcz are capable of lowering blood glucose and fat metabolites concentrations when administered to STZ-treated rats, and AST/ALT activity and insulin levels show the possibility of therapeutic use to diabetes mellitus.

Objectives : To prove the channel-tropism theory in herbology, we investigated the anti-diabetic effect of six herbal plants used for lower wasting-thirst in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods : Diabetes was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by consecutive injection of streptozotocin (30 mg/kg i.p.) for 5 days. The rats were divided into normal control, diabetic control, and diabetic treatment with Lycii Radicis Cortex (LRC, 300 mg/kg); Corni Fructus (CF, 300 mg/kg); Bombyx Batryticatus (BB, 50 mg/kg); Lycii Fructus (LF, 300 mg/kg); Phellodendri Cortex (PC, 300 mg/kg); Epimedii Herba (EH, 300 mg/kg); and glibenclimide (10 mg/kg) as a reference drug. Herbal extracts or reference drug were administered orally for 28 days. The changes of body weight, food intake and water intake, and serological markers such as blood glucose, serum total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine (Cr) were measured. Results : The decrease of body weight and the increase of food and water intake in STZ-induced diabetic rats was improved by the administration of CF and LF. Also, the enhancement of blood glucose and serum total cholesterol, TG, BUN and Cr in STZ-induced diabetic rats was significantly inhibited by the administration of CF, BB, LF and glibenclimide. On the other hand, EH strongly inhibited the increase of BUN and Cr in the sera of STZ-induced diabetic rats. Conclusions : These results suggest that among six herbal medicines used lower emaciation of emaciation-thirst disease, CF, BB, LF and EH show a characteristics including the channel-tropism theory.

산화적 스트레스는 당뇨병과 관련된 맥관계병변의 전개에 아주 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 streptozotocin(STZ)투여에 의한 당뇨유발쥐를 사용하여 참께함유 항산화성분인 sesamin과 sesamolin의 혈당과 생체내 항산화 방어효소에 미치는 효과에 대하여 알아보고자, 당뇨유발쥐에 0.2% sesamin또는 0.2% sesamolin 함유사료를 3주간 급여하여, 혈당농도, 뇨당농도, 혈청 GOT와 GPT활성, 혈청 및 간조직의 지질과산화물,그리고 GSH함량과 GST활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. STZ투여군의 혈당량은 319.4 $\pm$105.74mg/dL였는데, sesamin급여군은 146.56$\pm$23.99mg/dL, sesamolin급여군은170.74$\pm$105.94mg/dL로 유의하게 감소하였다. 당뇨병쥐의 뇨당농도가 21.16$\pm$13.72 mg/dL였는데, 세사민과 세사몰린 급여시에는 19.52 $\pm$ 8.99 mg/day와 10.93 $\pm$ 7.79 mg/day로 유의하게 감소하였다. STZ투여에 의하여 증가된 GOT와 GPT활성도는 세사민과 세사몰린의 급여에 의하여 GPT활성도만이 유의하게 감소되었다. STZ투여에 의해 증가한 간조직 중의 지질과산화물 생성은 세사민과 세사몰린 급여에 의해 유의하게 감소하였다. STZ투여에 의해 감소된 신장의 GSH함량과 GST활성은 세사민과 세사몰린에 의해 회복되었다. 이상의 결과 세사민과 세사몰린이 신장조직에서 일차적으로 산화된 산화물을 포집하고 GSH를 이용하여 체내의 독성 물질을 전이 분해시키는 작용을 하여 STZ에 의해 유도된 각종 독성을 무독화시켜 신장의 손상을 보호하여 당뇨억제 작용과 함께 항산화 효과를 나타낸 것으로 생각된다.

The present study aimed to evaluate the cinnamic acid effect on memory impairment, oxidative stress, and cholinergic dysfunction in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic model in mice. In this experimental study, 48 male Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice (30-35 g) were chosen and were randomly divided into six groups: control, cinnamic acid (20 mg/kg day, i.p.), diabetic, and cinnamic acid-treated diabetic (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg day, i.p.). Memory was impaired by administering an intraperitoneal STZ injection of 50 mg/kg. Cinnamic acid was injected for 40 days starting from the 21st day after confirming STZ-induced dementia to observe its therapeutic effect. Memory function was assessed using cross-arm maze, morris water maze and passive avoidance test. After the administration, biochemical parameters of oxidative stress and cholinergic function were estimated in the brain. Present data indicated that inducing STZ caused significant memory impairment, whereas administration of cinnamic acid caused significant and dose-dependent memory improvement. Assessment of brain homogenates indicated cholinergic dysfunction, increase in lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and decrease in glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities in the diabetic group compared to the control animals, whereas cinnamic acid administration ameliorated these indices in the diabetic mice. The present study demonstrated that cinnamic acid improves memory by reducing the oxidative stress and cholinergic dysfunction in the brain of diabetic mice.

Periodontal disease induces an increased incidence of tooth loss, particularly in cases with an associated loss of alveolar bone and periodontal ligaments. In this study, alveolar bone loss was detected by micro-computed tomography (CT) following exposure to E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse model. A 10 mg/ml dosage of E. coli LPS was applied between the first, second and third molars of the mice three times a week for 10 weeks. The loss of periodontal ligaments and alveolar processes was then evaluated by micro-CT using two and three dimensional microstructure morphometric parameters. In the diabetic mice, E. coli LPS induced the destruction of periodontal ligaments and loss of alveolar process spaces. The distances between periodontal ligaments were significantly widened in the STZ-LPS group compared with the untreated STZ group. The 10 mg/ml exposure to E. coli LPS in the STZ mice also resulted in a significant decrease in the alveolar bone volume fraction. The results of our study suggest that alveolar bone loss can be readily detected by volumetric micro-CT analysis as an increase in the distance between periodontal ligaments and in the alveolar process length.

This study was designed to examine the effects of fractions of ethanol extract of Benincasa hispida (wax gourd) on hepatic antioxidative status in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were induced diabetes mellitus by STZ injection (45 mg/kg) into the tail vein and were divided into 5 groups: normal, STZ-control, three experimental diabetic groups. Fractions of ethanol extract of Benincasa hispida were administered orally into the diabetic rats for 14 days. Hepatic glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) activity (determined with H$_2$O$_2$ as substrate) was increased in the groups supplemented with chloroform (CHCl$_3$) and butanol (BuOH) fractions. Glutathione peroxidase (GR) activity in the liver cytosol of H$_2$O fraction groups was significantly lower than that of STZ-control group. The H$_{2}$O fraction supplemented group has been shown the notably decrease in the hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The hepatic cytosol catalase (CAT) activity was significant decreased by the supplementation with BuOH fraction. It was found from the results that the supplementation of BuOH and H$_2$O fractions of Benincasa hispida extract could be beneficial for the diabetic complications and damages from the lipid peroxidation.
