  • The present study evaluated the beneficial effect of new diabetic formula(NDF) in diabetic rats. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250-300 g were used. Diabetes mellitus was induced by intramuscular injections of streptozotocin(STZ, 50㎎/㎏). The extracts of NDF were orally administered at low or high dose two times a day to fasted diabetic rats for 3 weeks. Adminstration of NDF alliviated a significant reduction in weight gain in rats with STZ-induced diabetes. Following acute and repeated treatment, low dose of NDF suppressed the blood glucose concentrations of fasted diabetic rats. Repeated adminstration of NDF for 21 days improved liver and kidney functions in diabetic rats, as indicated by decline of serum alanine aminotransferase(AL T), alkaline phosphatase(ALP), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), creatinine level and kidney weights. The present study showed that NDF exerted antihyperglycemic effects and alliviated liver and renal damages caused by streptozotocin-induced diabetes.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin B2 deficiency on fuel metabolism in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Thirty rats were fed a vitamin B2 deticient diet(-B2) or a control diet (+B2) for 2 weeks and then subdivided into 3 groups respectively : base group, one day diabetic group and three day diabetic group. Diabetes of the rats were induced by streptozotocin injection into the tail vein. Glucose, glycogen, protein, alanine, triglyceride and free fatty acid were compared in plasma, liver, skeletal muscle of rats. Also, the total urinary nitrogen and glucose excertion were compared. Compared with +B2 rats, the increase of plasm glucose in -B2 rats due to the diabetes tended to be smaller. After diabetes were induced, the levels of plasma protein and alanine was significantly decreased and the urinary nitrogen excretion was significantly increased in -B2 rats. The level of plasma free fatty acid was increased continuously in B2 rats while increased at the first day and decreased at the third day diabetes was induced in +B2 rats. These results suggest that vitamin B2 deficiency increase protein catabolism due to the decrease of fatty acid oxidation. Thus, vitamin B2 deficiency in diabetes impair the adaptation of animals to the fuel metabolism and aggravate the body protein wasting which is one of the chronic complications of diabetes.

  • Rhemannie Radix Preparata (RRP) has been previously employed in traditional oriental medicine as a treatment for diabetic thirst and improving blood flow. The aim of this study was to evaluate its hypoglycemic control by assaying the activities of key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism in streptozotocin-(STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Further, RRP extracts were prepared in water (RRPW), in 50% ethanol (RRP50), and in 100% ethanol (RRP100), respectively, and compared for their actions in diabetic rats. The oral treatment of RRP (5 mg/kg b.w./d) to diabetic rats for 21 days resulted in a significant decline in blood glucose by 67% compared to diabetic control rats (P < 0.05). The altered activities of glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), and acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC) in the livers of diabetic rats were reversed significantly to near-normal levels by the administration of RRP (P < 0.05). Among the three RRP extracts, RRP100 was the most effective in terms of hypoglycemic action. However, the administration of RRP to diabetic rats did not improve insulin production. The modulatory effects of RRP100 on the attenuation of carbohydrate enzyme activities appear to hold promise for widespread use for the treatment of diabetes in the future.

  • This study was to investigate the effect of betaine on the hypoglycemia and hepatoprotection of streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing around 280 g were randomly assigned to the three experimental groups: a healthy normal group and two groups with STZ-induced diabetes and fed either control diet or betaine diet. Betaine given to the STZ-diabetic rats had significant effect in lowering the serum glucose concentrations compared to the STZ-diabetic rats. The alanine aminotransferase (AST) and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) activities and triglyceride contents in serum were dramatically higher in the STZ-diabetic rats, but these increases in relation to diabetes also decreased in the STZ-diabetic rats fed betaine. However, the total-cholesterol concentration in the STZ-diabetic rats was even increased by betaine. The morphology of the pancreatic islets in the normal rats showed a typical round form, but most of the islets in the STZ-diabetic rats showed severe morphological alterations by being markedly destroyed. However, the islet morphology of STZ-diabetic rats given betaine mostly maintained a normal rounded appearance. The present study strongly suggests that the administration of betaine showed a moderate hypoglycemic effect by protecting the pancreatic beta-cells by morphological examination from STZ-induced destruction.

  • This study was carrid out to examine a part of the mechanism for the etiology of diabetic complications. Thirty normal and forty streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats were used as the animal models. Animals were sacrificed at the time points of 3 days, 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks after STZ-injection and time course in body weight and organ weight, the levels of blood glucose, plasma lipid patterns, and atherogenic index were measured during 6 weeks. The STZ-diabetic animals showed 63% survival rate and fsting blood glucose levels of the diabetic animals measured in the range of 230-410mg/dL during the experimental period. The body weigh of diabetic animals decreased significantly throughout the experimental period and the relative weights of organs to body weight were significantly higher than the normal control ones. The enlargement of the kidney in the diabetic animals was especially remarkable. Plasma triglyceride concentration in diabetic rats substancially increased from the first week of onset of diabetes mellitus and maintained higher levels than the control ones throughout the whole experimental period. The plasma total cholesterol level and atherogenic index in the diabetic rats were significantly higher than the normal ones from the third day after STZ injection and showed a gradual increase with the duration of the disease. Throughout the experiment, the diabetic rats consistently showed a slightly lower HDL-cholesterol level compared to the normal animals. From the results of this study, it appears that the significant changes in blood lipid pattern in STZ-diabetic animals start from the first week after STZ injection.

  • Objectives : The present study was carried out to investigate the beneficial effect of Coicis Semen extract(CSe) on streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic nephropathy rats. CSe was given to rats with oral administration. Methods : The experimental animals were divided into 3 groups : normal group of rats, control group of STZ-induced diabetic rats, sample group with CSe treatment. Experimental diabetes was induced by the injection of STZ(60 mg/kg) to the rat via the peritoneum. The effects of CSe on STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy were observed by measuring the serum level of creatinine, BUN and uric level of glucose. Kidney level of lipid peroxidation and the activities of reduced glutathione(GSH) were also examined Results : STZ-induced increase of serum creatinine was lowered by CSe treatment, but BUN and uric level of glucose did not show significant changes. CSe oral administration showed statistical decrease of lipid peroxidation in renal cortical tissues, but it has no effect on the activities of GSH. Conclusion : CSe treatment showed protective effect on rat diabetic nephropathy model, but action mechanism of the effect was still not dear. We thought to be concerned with anti-oxidative stress.

  • The increased level of glucose, ketone bodies, non-esterified fatty acids and lactate in blood, decrease of glycogen content, phosphofructokinase activities and glucokinase activity and the increased level of glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the liver of streptozotocin injected rats were significantly moderated by ginseng saponin administration. It is not likely, however, that the hypoglycomic action of ginseng saponin might be due to their direct action on enzyme activities, since the saponin effect of servers enzymes in vitro was not enough to explain such an appreciable hypoglycemic activity of the saponin in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats, for which much work have to be done.

  • In order to investigate experimented effects of Indongdeung Jigolpi-Tang, which is applied to Soyangin, to diabetes, the measurement, comparison and observation made on the contents of volumes of blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid, total protein and electrolyte($K^+$, $Na^+$) in blood serum by giving a high blood glucose, induced by streptozotocin, to hyperglycemic rats, dosing the cooked liquid of I.J.T., and following conclusion was attained. 1. The volume of glucose urine, induced by streptozotocin to hyperglycemic rats, was shown an increase in comparision to a normal flock when $12.50m{\ell}/kg$ of I.J.T. dosed to the rats and checked after two and four weeks and thereby, a sinificant reduction in the volume of blood glucose was made. 2. The volume of total cholesterol of blood serum in the diabetic rats, induced by streptozotocin, was increased in comparision to the normal flock, and in the fouth week of dosing $1.25m{\ell}/kg$ of I.J.T., a significant reduction of total cholesterol volum was shown in the blood serum. 3. The volume of triglyceride in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was increased in comparision to the normal flock, and with dosing $1.25m{\ell}/kg$ and $12.50m{\ell}/kg$ of I.J.T., a significant reduction of triglyceride volium was shwon in the blood serum after second and fourth week. 4. The volume of phospholipid in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was somewhat reduced in comparision to the normal flock, and with dosing $1.25m{\ell}/kg$ of I.J.T., a significant reduction of phospholipid volium in the blood serum was shown after first and second week. 5. The volume of total protein in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was somewhat reduced in comparison to the normal flock however, with dosing the I.J.T., no significant change on the volium of total protein was made in the blood serum. 6. The volume of potassium in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was increased in comparision to the normal flock however, with dosing the I.J.T., no significant change of potassium content was made in the blood serum. 7. The volume of sodium in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was somewhat reduced in comparision to the normal flock, and with dosing $12.50m{\ell}/kg$ of the I.J.T., a significant increase was shown in the blood serum after first week. Soyangin, accompanying with a middle and upper heat, the I.J.T. - that has a merits of cleaning up fever, solving fever, solving poison, solving thirst and restoring exhaustion - can be proved that it has a blood sugar reduction effect and it is considered that it can be meritorious for strengthening vitality, further, many other exhausting diseases, and can actively used for the cases such as thirst causing disease and a disease that causes an abnormal food hunger, thirst causing and frequent going to pass urine, in particular.

  • The acute and subacute hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic effects of drinkable ripe onion juice (Commercial product name is "Black Onion Extract") were investigated in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. For tests of acute and subacute hypoglycemic effects, ripe onion juice (5 and 15 mL/kg b.w.) was administered by oral gavage to normal Sprague Dawley rats and measurements of fasting glucose levels and oral glucose tolerance tests were performed. Tolbutamide was used as a reference drug at a single oral dose of 250 mg/kg b.w. To test anti-hyperglycemic activity, the ripe onion juice was administered to streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats by oral gavage at single dose of 15 mL/kg b.w. per day for 7 consecutive days. Oral administration of the ripe onion juice at either dosed level of 5 or 15 mL/kg b.w. showed no remarkable acute hypoglycemic effect in normal rats. The two dosed levels caused a relatively small reduction, only 18% and 12% (5 and 15 mL/kg b.w., respectively) decrease in glucose levels at 2 h after glucose loading in normal rats. However, at 3 h after glucose loading, blood glucose levels in the ripe onion juice-dosed rats were decreased to the corresponding blood glucose level in tolbutamide-dosed rats. Although showing weak hypoglycemic potential compared to that of tolbutamide, oral administration of ripe onion juice (15 mL/kg b.w.) for a short period (8 days) resulted in a slight reduction in the blood glucose levels that had elevated in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In conclusion, these results suggest that the commercial product "Black Onion Extract" may possess antihyperglycemic potential in diabetes.

  • The present study was carried out to investigate the antidiabetic and antioxidant effect of methanolic extract of Berberis tinctoria leaves (MEBT), in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Oral administration of MEBT extract (150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg) for a period of 14 days. Blood glucose levels, body weight food and liquid intake were measured on every $5^{th}$ day over a period of 14 days. In diabetic rats, MEBT at the dose of 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg body weight resulted in significant reduction in blood glucose levels. The study was further investigated to determine antioxidant and antihyperlipidemic potential of MEBT in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. These results suggest that the MEBT possess antidiabetic activity and is able to ameliorate biochemical damages in STZ induced diabetic rats and the results were found to be in a dose dependent manner.
