Effects of Enshi green tea tea polysaccharide on serum glucose in experimental diabetic rats / 中国应用生理学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of Enshi green tea tea polysaccharide on serum glucose in experimental diabetic rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Diabetic rats model were established by alloxan, Enshi green tea tea polysaccharide was poured into rats' stomach for four weeks, then the changes of the level about fasting blood glucose (FBG), glucokinase (GK), insulin (INS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), spleen index and thymus index were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Enshi green tea tea polysaccharide could reduce the level of FBG in diabetic rats, and increase the activity of KG, SOD and GSH-Px, moreover, it could reduce the level of MDA and increase the spleen index and thymus index.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Enshi green tea tea polysaccharide has remarkable effect on playing down the blood sugar, and can increase the antioxygenic activity and immunity.</p>
