RESUMEN
The present study was conducted to evaluate the chemical composition, antioxidant activity and hypoglycemic effects of whole kumquat (Ku) powder in diabetic rats fed a high-fat-high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet. The antioxidant activities were evaluated using stable 1,1-diphenyl 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method, 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethyl benzo thiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation (ABTS) and Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Total phenolic content was (51.85 mg GAE/g) and total flavonoid content was (0.24 mg Cateachin Equivalent, CE/g). DPPH and ABTS values were 3.32 and 3.98 mg Trolox equivalent (TE)/g where FRAP value was 3.00 mM Fe²+/kg dry material. A total of 90 albino rats were used in the present study. Rats group were as follows: normal diet; normal treated (2, 4, and 6% Ku.), diabetic rats (non-treated), diabetic + HFHC diet (non-treated), HFHC (non-treated), Diabetic (treated), HFHC (treated) and Diabetic + HFHC (treated). The diets were followed for 8 weeks. Blood samples were collected at the end of the experiment. Serum glucose was recorded and thyroid hormones (T4, Thyroxine and T3, Triiodothyronine) were conducted. Diet supplemented with Kumquat at different concentrations have a hypoglycemic effect and improve the thyroid hormones of both diabetic rats and HFHC diabetic rats.
O presente estudo foi conduzido para avaliar a composição química, a atividade antioxidante e os efeitos hipoglicêmicos do pó de kumquat (Ku) em ratos diabéticos alimentados com uma dieta rica em gordura e colesterol (HFHC). As atividades antioxidantes foram avaliadas usando o método de eliminação de radicais livres de 1,1-difenil 2-picrilhidrazil (DPPH), 2,2'-azinobis (ácido 3-etilbenzotiazolina-6-sulfônico) radical cátion (ABTS) e antioxidante redutor férrico potência (FRAP). O conteúdo fenólico total foi (51,85 mg GAE / g) e o conteúdo total de flavonoides foi (0,24 mg Cateachin Equivalent, CE / g). Os valores de DPPH e ABTS foram 3,32 e 3,98 mg equivalente de Trolox (TE) / g, em que o valor de FRAP foi de 3,00 mM Fe²+ / kg de material seco. Um total de 90 ratos albinos foi usado no presente estudo. O grupo dos ratos foi o seguinte: dieta normal: tratados normais (2, 4 e 6% Ku.), ratos diabéticos (não tratados), diabéticos + dieta HFHC (não tratados), HFHC (não tratados), diabéticos (tratados), HFHC (tratados) e diabéticos + HFHC (tratados). As dietas foram seguidas por 8 semanas. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas ao final do experimento. A glicose sérica foi registrada e os hormônios tireoidianos (T4, Tiroxina e T3, Triiodotironina) foram conduzidos. A dieta suplementada com kumquat em diferentes concentrações tem um efeito hipoglicêmico e melhora os hormônios tireoidianos tanto de ratos diabéticos quanto de ratos diabéticos com HFHC.

Objective To analyze the chemical constituents of kumquat essential oil(KEO)and the acute toxicity of KEO in mice. Methods The chemical constituents of KEO were analyzed by GC-MS. After preliminary test, KM mice were randomly divided into control and KEO groups with 20 mice in each group(10 male and 10 female). The doses of KEO were designed with ratio 0.758 between the 100% and 0% mortality amount as 10, 7.60, 5.70, 4.40, 3.30 and 2.50 ml/kg. The acute toxicity was evaluated by examination of the mice for 14 days after single administration of KEO. Results The principal constituents in KEO were α-pinene(0.46%), β-phellandrene(0.11%), β-myrcene(2.34%), D-limonene(95.62%), geranyl acetate(0.10%), β-copaene(0.67%), and γ-elemene (0.13%), which accounted for 99.43% of the total chemical content of KEO. The half-lethal dose(LD50)of KEO in mice by the acute toxicity test was 6.24 ml/kg with the 95% confidence limit of(5.39-7.33)ml/kg in female mice and 5.73 ml/kg with the 95% confidence limit of(4.91-6.79)ml/kg in male mice. The possible toxic target organs were liver, spleen and gastrointestinal tract. Conclusion KEO with the content of D-limonene was obtained from kumquat for the first time, and the toxicity of the KEO was low according to the toxicity classification standard of World Health Organization.
