ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a mouse model of kidney-yin and kidney?yang deficiency after oral administra?tion of hydrocortisone, and to explore the related evaluation factors. Methods The model was established by oral adminis?tration of hydrocortisone to induce kidney?yin and kidney?yang deficiency in mice. The survival and body weight of the mice were observed. The serum content of adrenal cortical hormone ( ACTH) , cortisol ( Cor. ) in the hypothalamic?pituitary?ad?renal (HPA) axis, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyrox (T4) in the hypothalamic?pi?tuitary?thyroid (HPT) axis, follicle?stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), testosterone (T) in the hypothalamic?pituitary?gonadal ( HPG) axis were determined by radioimmunoassay. Results The body weight of kidney?yin and kidney?yang mice were decreased, the serum ACTH, Cor, TSH, T3, T4 contents were decreased, the serum FSH, E2, T contents were increased in the kidney?yang deficiency model mce ( P<0. 01 ) , and those parameters in the kidney?yin deficiency model mice were changed in opposite direction. Conclusions It is found that the hormone levels of ACTH, Cor, TSH, T3, T4, FSH, E2 and T in kidney deficiency mice are changed, and cortisol can be used as an important index to evaluate the model of kidney deficiency induced by glucocorticoid.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects ofLiuwei Dihuang Decoction on cAMP and PDE3B in adipose tissues of rats with type 2 diabetes;To explore its mechanism.MethodsTotally 80 SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:control group and molding group. Rats in the molding group established the type 2 diabetic models by feeding high sugar and fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of Streptozotocin. The successful modeling rats were divided into model group, Rosiglitazone group, andLiuwei Dihuang Decoction group. Administration groups were given relevant medicine for gavage, while model group and blank group were given the same amount of normal saline for 30 days. FBG levels were detected, and cAMP and INS levels were detected by ELISA. The protein expressions of PDE3B in adipose tissues were determined by Western blot. The mRNA expressions of PDE3B in adipose tissues were detected by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the model group, the FBG and INS levels in type 2 diabetic rats were reduced in Rosiglitazone group andLiuwei DihuangDecoction group (P<0.05,P<0.01). InLiuwei Dihuang Decoction group, the protein and mRNA expressions of PDE3B in the adipose tissues were higher, and cAMP levels were lower than the model group (P<0.01).ConclusionLiuwei Dihuang Decoction can increase PDE3B expression, and decrease cAMP level, which may be one of the mechanisms for improving insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic rats.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of Liuwei Dihuang pills on proliferation and differentiation of rat preadipocytes. Methods Rat preadipocytes were cultured, the influence of Liuwei Dihuang drug-containing serum on proliferation of rat preadipocytes was detected by MTT method, the influence of Liuwei Dihuang drug-containing serum on expression of GPDH was determined by enzyme tissue chemical method, the effect on lipid accumulation was determined by Oil Red O staining. Results Liuwei Dihuang drug-containing serum stimulated rat preadipocyte proliferation, inhibited GPDH up-regulation during differentiation, inhibited lipid accumulation in cell differentiation with the concentration below 10%. Conclusion Liuwei Dihuang pills stimulated rat preadipocyte proliferation, inhibited rat preadipocyte differentiation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of 1oganin on proliferation and differentiation of rat preadipocytes. Methods Rat preadipocytes were cultured. The proliferation of rat preadipoeytes was detected by MTT method. The expression of GPDH during the preadipoeytes differentiation was determined by using enzyme tissue chemical way, and the accumulation of cellular lipid was determined by Oil Red O staining. Results Loganin at the concentrations of 8, 16, 32 ? mol/L stimulated rat preadipocyte proliferation, inhibited GPDH increase and lipid accumulation during differentiation in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion Loganin can stimulate rat preadipocyte proliferation, inhibite rat preadipocyte differentiation.
