Effects of Xinjiangtang Granules on Insulin Resistance and Hepatic GK mRNA Expression in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Rats
Objective: To observe the effects of the Xinjiangtang granule on the serum levels of insulin
superoxide dismutase (SOD)
malondialdehyde (MDA)
C-reactive protein(CRP) and the expression of hepatic glucokinase (GK) mRNA in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats
and to explore its anti-diabetic mechanisms. Method: SD rats were randomly divided into normal group and diabetic group. The model of T2DM rats were established by feeding with high fat diet and injecting low dosage of streptozotocin (STZ) at 28 mg·kg-1. Then the rats in diabetic group were randomly divided into model group
metformin group (0.15 mg·kg-1)
and low-
medium-
high-dosage groups of Xinjiangtang granule (22.8
11.4
5.7 g·kg-1). The rats in normal and model groups were given the same dosage of normal saline. All rats received oral administration of corresponding medicines for 5 weeks. The levels of fosting blood glucose(FBG) were assayed by oxidase method. The serum levels of fasting insulin(FINS) and CRP were assayed by ELISA. The serum levels of SOD and MDA were detecteded by assay kits. The expression of GK mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR. Result: Compared with the normal group
the levels of FBG
insulin resistance index(IRI)
FINS
CRP showed obvious increase (P<0.01)
and serum SOD level showed an obvious decrease in the model group (P<0.01). The levels of FBG
IRI
MDA
CRP of the high-
medium- and low-dosage Xinjiangtang granule group showed obvious decrease (P<0.01)
the levels of FBG
IRI
FINS
CRP showed obvious decrease (P<0.05
P<0.01)in the low-dosage Xinjiangtang granule group
and serum SOD level showed an obvious increase as compared with those in model group (P<0.05
P<0.01). The expression of hepatic GK mRNA showed an obvious decrease in model group as compared with that in normal group(P<0.05). While it showed an obvious increase in medium-and low-dosage Xinjiangtang granule group as compared with that in model group(P<0.01). Conclusion: The Xinjiangtang granule can significantly reduce the blood glucose level in T2DM rats
which may be achieved by reducing FINS level
enhancing the capacity of resistance to oxidative stress
relieving inflammation and improving the hepatic GK mRNA level.
