The effects of aminoguanidine and Vitamin C on blood lipid of streptozotocin-induced diabetes rats / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of aminoguanidine and Vitamin C on lipid of streptozotocin-induced didbetic rats.Methods Diabetic nephropathy rats were induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin.Fifty Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,Vitamin C group,aminoguanidine group and Vitamin C associated with aminoguanidine group.All the rats were treated for 16 weeks.During and after the treatment,the general state of the rats was observed and the levels of blood sugar,triglyceride,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein,high density lipoprotein,glycosylated hemoglobin,and glycated low density lipoprotein in different groups were detected.Results The rats in the four groups suffered diabetes mellitus and renal function lesion.Aminoguanidine and Vitamin C could improve the general state of the rats,but had no effect on the blood sugar.Vitamin C could decrease the levels of triglyceride,serum cholesterol,low density lipoprotein,glycosylated hemoglobin,and glycated low density lipoprotein,and increase the level of high density lipoprotein.There was a synergistic effect with the combination of the two drugs. Conclusion Aminoguanidine and Vitamin C have no effect in the decrease of blood sugar level but have a certain effect on regulating blood lipid.There is a synergistic effect with the combination of the two drugs.
