ABSTRACT
AIM:To study the effect of Wanglaoji cool tea(WLJ)(Ilex asprella,Oroxylum indicum,polygnum chinese,Desmadium Styracifolium,Microcos Paniculata,Lophatherum gracile,Lygodium japonicum,Vitex negundo,Helicteres angustifolia,Rosa laevigate) on plasma gluco-metabolism and peroxidative state in stress mice. METHODS: The male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal control group,stress control group,positive control group,125 and 500 mg/kg WLJ group,which were administered samples once a day successively for 5 days.After oral administration 2 g/kg glucose into the 20 h stress mice,the elimination rate of plasma glucose,plasma ketone bodies and liver glycogen were determined.The peroxidative state in plasma and antioxidtive capacity of plasma was also measured. RESULTS: As compared with the control groups,WLJ accelerated the basic glucose metabolism of plasma,reduced the plasma ketone body and elevated the liver glycogen synthesis in stress mice.And it also decreased the level of MDA and increased the antioxidant capacity of plasma. CONCLUSION: WLJ improves the glucometabolic dysfunction in stress mice,and the mechanism might be related to the amelioration of peroxidative state in plasma.
