Regulation of Puerarin and Oleanolic Acid on Antioxidant Activity and Suppressing Inflammatory Reaction in Rats with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Objective: To observe effects of puerarin and oleanolic acid on blood glucose
blood lipid
superoxide dismutase (SOD)
malondialdehyde(MDA)
advanced glycation end products (AGEs)
serum hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and pancreatic histopathology in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)
and to approach their pharmacological mechanism. Method: T2DM rats induced by high calories diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotacin(STZ) were randomly divided into five groups:diabetes mellitus (M)group
melbine(D) group
puerarin(P) group
oleanolic acid group(OA) and puerarin with oleanolic acid(POA)group. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (P2hPG) of rats in each group were measured before treatment and after 2
4
6 weeks of administration. After 6 weeks
blood simples were collected for measurement on blood glucose
as well as following indexes
cholesterol (CHOL)
triglyceride (TG)
HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C)
LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C)
hs-CRP
SOD
MDA and AGEs. Pathological changes were observed under light microscope by HE staining. Result: All indexes were inhibited to certain degrees in every treatment group except HDL-C and SOD. The level of LDL-C in POA group decreased more significantly than that in the P group and OA group(P<0.05)
meanwhile
the injury pancreas tissue was improved significantly. Conclusion: The puerarin and oleanolic acid could markedly improve glucose and lipid metabolism in experimental type 2 diabetic rats. It may prove that puerarin with oleanolic acid can relieve the degree of oxidative stress reaction through antioxidant activity and suppressing inflammatory reaction. In terms of decreased LDL-C and improvement of the structure of islet cells
the effects in POA group are more stronger than those in P and OA group.
