Effect of Shui Medicine Asarum insigne Polysaccharide on Glycolipid Metabolis,Renal Function and Oxi-dative Stress in Model Rats with Experimental Type 2 Diabetes / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Shui medicine Asarum insigne polysaccharide on glycolipid metabolism,renal function and oxidative stress in rats with experimental type 2 diabetes,and provide reference for its development and use. METH-ODS:60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group,positive control group (Irbesartan tab-lets,0.02 g/kg) and A. insigne polysaccharide low-dose,medium-dose,high-dose groups (calculated by crude drug as 2,4,8 g/kg),10 in each group. Except for normal control group,rats in other groups were intraperitoneally injected streptozotocin 75 mg/(kg·d)to induce model with diabetes. After modeling,rats in each administration group were intraperitoneally injected relevant medicines,and rats in normal control group and model control group were intragastrically administrated 5% carboxymet hylcellu-lose sodium solution,twice a day,for 42 d. After administration,UV spectrophotometer was used to detect the glycogen content in liver tissue. Automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect 24 h urine output,24 h urinary protein content of rats,levels of tri-glyceride (TG),cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), creatinine (Cr),urea nitrogen (BUN) in serum,and levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase(CAT),superoxide dismutase(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA)in kidney tissue. RESULTS:Compared with normal con-trol group,glycogen content in liver tissue of rats in model control group was decreased(P<0.05);24 h urine output and 24 h uri-nary protein content were increased(P<0.05);levels of TG,TC,LDL-C in serum were increased(P<0.05),and HDL-C level was decreased (P<0.05);levels of SOD,CAT,GSH-Px in kidney tissue were decreased (P<0.05),and levels of ROS,MDA were increased(P<0.05). Compared with model group,except that there were no significant differences in the improvement of uri-nary protein content,HDL-C level in serum,24 h urine out-put in A. insigne polysaccharide low-dose group,above-men-tioned indexes in each administration group were obviously im-proved (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:A. insigne polysaccha-ride can regulate lipid metabolic disorders,and improve renal function and antioxidant capacity of rats.
