Ingestion of aqueous 70% ethanol extract of Ballota nigra (400 mg/kg body weight for 7 days) by albino rats (n=10) was investigated to study its effects on glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), troponin I (TnI), serum creatine kinase (CK), total protein, total bilirubin and blood urea. Ballota nigra extract caused a significant decrease in blood glucose, total serum cholesterol and CK levels. Blood levels of TnI, AST, ALT, triglycerides, total bilirubin, total protein and blood urea were unchanged. The hypoglycemic effect of Ballota nigra extract on albino rats was further investigated by conducting a glucose tolerance test intraperitoneally (IPGTT). Healthy rats that were fasting for 18 hours followed by administration of a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight of the crude extract of Ballota nigra, orally. A significant decrease in blood glucose levels (after 15, 30, and 45 minutes) with a significant increase in serum insulin level (after 15 and 30 minute) was noted. These results suggest that, the crude extract of Ballota nigra have hypoglycemic, insulin-releasing and cholesterol lowering effects in rats. 相似文献

These experiments were carried out to study the effects of acute cold exposure (0-2 degrees C/4 hr) on rectal temperature, blood glucose and plasma free fatty acids (FFA) in alloxan-diabetic rats. Male Wistar rats weighing 170-190 g were used and diabetes was induced by i.v. alloxan injection (40 mg/kg body wt). Cold exposure produced severe hypothermia in diabetic rats. After 4 hr of cold, blood glucose of diabetic rats was reduced from 296 +/- 16 to 86 +/- 12 mg/dl (P less than 0.01), and FFA increased slightly, but was not statistically different (P greater than 0.05) from the initial value. As expected, interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) and retroperitoneal and epididymal white adipose tissues were significantly lower in diabetic than in control rats. Cold exposure reduced total IBAT lipids in control but not in diabetic animals. The results of this experiment suggest that diabetic rats were unable to maintain body temperature in the cold, probably because of a failure to generate an adequate amount of heat by nonshivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. 相似文献

The study examined the effect of insulin on glucose metabolism in freshly isolated calcium-tolerant heart myocytes from adult rats. The uptake of 2-deoxyglucose demonstrated an initial lag in response to insulin and the maximal insulin effect was not attained until after 3 min preincubation with the hormone. A dose-response study of 14CO2 production from [14C]glucose revealed that the maximum insulin stimulation of glucose utilization occurred with 5 mU/ml. Both the uptake and the oxidation of glucose proceeded at a linear rate in the absence and presence of insulin. However, insulin exerted a greater effect on the uptake (42-54%) than on the oxidation (17-22%) of exogenous glucose. Incorporation of glucose into glycogen was markedly increased by insulin and resulted in the myocyte glycogen concentration returning to in vivo levels. In the absence of insulin, glucose incorporation plateaued within 10 min of incubation and the glycogen concentration was not altered. Our findings also indicate that at equilibrium, insulin-treated cells exhibited a higher glycogen turnover rate. It thus appears that insulin exerts a differential effect on the different pathways in glucose metabolism in the isolated cardiac cells. This may be related in part to their quiescent state and lower energy demand. 相似文献

The effects of supplemental D-psicose in the diet on diurnal variation in plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were investigated in rats. Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Each group except for the control group was fed a diet of 5% D-fructose, D-psicose, or psico-rare sugar (3:1 mixture of D-fructose and D-psicose) for 8 weeks. Plasma glucose levels were lower and plasma insulin levels were higher at all times of day in the psicose and psico-rare sugar groups than in the control and fructose groups. Weight gain was significantly lower in the psicose group than in the control and fructose groups. Liver glycogen content, both before and after meals was higher in the psicose group than in the control and fructose groups. These results suggest that supplemental D-psicose can lower plasma glucose levels and reduce body fat accumulation. Hence, D-psicose might be useful in preventing postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetic patients. 相似文献

We examined the effects of anesthetic, age, and strain on oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT, 1 g/kg body weight) and intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests (IPGTT, 2 g/kg body weight) in spontaneously hypertensive (SH) and Wistar rats. Pentobarbital anesthesia caused an elevation in basal glucose and insulin levels in Wistar rats at 9 and 16 weeks of age and in SH rats at 9 weeks. Anesthesia increased the insulin output during an OGTT in both strains of rats while glucose was unchanged. Anesthesia reduced the insulin sensitivity index calculated from the OGTT but not from the IPGTT data. The age of the rats (9-11 vs. 16-18 weeks) had no effect on the basal glucose or insulin levels, but older Wistar rats had a greater insulin output following oral glucose and older SH rats had a greater insulin output following intraperitoneal glucose. On the basis of the insulin sensitivity index, SH rats were clearly more insulin resistant than age-matched Wistar rats. The SH rats also had higher basal insulin levels, as well as higher insulin output, following both glucose challenges. In summary, SH rats are more insulin resistant than Wistar rats, and anesthesia, which elevated basal glucose and insulin levels and increased the insulin output in response to a glucose challenge, may increase insulin resistance. 相似文献

To determine the influence of dietary fructose and glucose on circulating leptin levels in lean and obese rats, plasma leptin concentrations were measured in ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH)-lesioned obese and sham-operated lean rats fed either normal chow or fructose- or glucose-enriched diets (60% by calories) for 2 wk. Insulin resistance was evaluated by the steady-state plasma glucose method and intravenous glucose tolerance test. In lean rats, glucose-enriched diet significantly increased plasma leptin with enlarged parametrial fat pad, whereas neither leptin nor fat-pad weight was altered by fructose. Two weeks after the lesions, the rats fed normal chow had marked greater body weight gain, enlarged fat pads, and higher insulin and leptin compared with sham-operated rats. Despite a marked adiposity and hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance was not increased in VMH-lesioned rats. Fructose brought about substantial insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in both lean and obese rats, whereas glucose led to rather enhanced insulin sensitivity. Leptin, body weight, and fat pad were not significantly altered by either fructose or glucose in the obese rats. These results suggest that dietary glucose stimulates leptin production by increasing adipose tissue or stimulating glucose metabolism in lean rats. Hyperleptinemia in VMH-lesioned rats is associated with both increased adiposity and hyperinsulinemia but not with insulin resistance. Dietary fructose does not alter leptin levels, although this sugar brings about hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, suggesting that hyperinsulinemia compensated for insulin resistance does not stimulate leptin production. 相似文献

Oral administration of vanadate is an effective treatment for diabetes in animal models. However, vanadate exerts these effects at high doses and several toxic effects are produced. Low doses of vanadate are relatively safe but are unable to elicit any antidiabetic effect. The present study explored the prospect of using low doses of vanadate in combination with Trigonella seed powder (TSP) to evaluate their antidiabetic effect in alloxan-diabetic rats. Alloxan-diabetic rats were treated with insulin, vanadate, TSP and vanadate and TSP in combination for 3 weeks. The effect of these antidiabetic compounds was examined on general physiological parameters and distribution of glucose transporter (GLUT4) in skeletal muscle by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Treatment of alloxan-diabetic rats with insulin, vanadate, TSP and vanadate in combination with TSP revived normoglycemia and restored the disturbances in the distribution of GLUT4 in skeletal muscle. TSP treatment was only partially effective in the restoration of diabetic alterations. The treatment of diabetic rats with combined doses of vanadate and TSP was most effective in the normalization of plasma glucose levels and correction of altered GLUT4 distribution. 相似文献

The flux through branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase and the activity of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex were measured in hepatocytes isolated from fed, starved and alloxan diabetic rats. The highest rate of branched-chain alpha-ketoacid oxidation was found in hepatocytes isolated from starved rats, slightly lower in those from fed rats, and significantly lower in diabetic hepatocytes. The amount of the active form of branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase was only slightly diminished in diabetic hepatocytes, whereas the flux through the dehydrogenase was inversely correlated with the rate of endogenous ketogenesis. The same was observed in hepatocytes isolated from starved rats when branched-chain alpha-ketoacid oxidation was measured in the presence of added oleate. In both cases the diminished flux through the dehydrogenase, restored by a short preincubation of hepatocytes with insulin, was paralleled by a decrease of fatty acid-derived ketogenesis. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to the role of insulin in branched-chain alpha-ketoacid oxidation in liver of diabetic rats. 相似文献

In rats rendered hyperlipidemic by the i.p. injection of Triton WR-1339, the i.p. administration of tetrazepam, a benzodiazepine (BZD) used mainly as a central myorelaxant, evoked significant reductions of serum lipids and blood glucose level. The dose-response curve was bell-shaped for serum lipids changes, whereas no clear dose-response relationship for blood glucose level modifications could be established. Tetrazepam was less active on serum lipids than other BZDs as diazepam or midazolam. 相似文献

Amygdaloid kindling in alloxan-diabetic rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Wistar rats, made diabetic by intravenous administration of alloxan, 40 mg/kg, were submitted to amygdala kindling. The EEG and behavioral responses elicited by stimulating the amygdala nuclei in these animals were compared with those observed in control rats. Alloxan-treated rats required more stimulation to kindle, had increased duration of afterdischarges (AD), presented intense interictal spiking, and exhibited greater number of wet-dog shakes than controls. Although the AD threshold was not different between control and experimental rats, the above results seem to indicate an increase in the local epileptic susceptibility represented by longer ADs. On the other hand, this increased local discharge seems to be unable to access the generalization mechanism, which can be verified by the increased kindling rate. Hyperosmolarity, pH alterations, or other generalized metabolic changes frequently associated with diabetes could be implicated in these results. 相似文献

Rise in rectal temperature (Tre) and survival time was determined on exposure to 38°C in adult normoglycemic and diabetic (streptozotocin treated) rats and 1 h following glucose feeding or insulin administration or both, and in young rats with and without glucose feeding or insulin treatment. The heat tolerance of adult animals treated with streptozotocin and insulin plus glucose and of adult and young animals treated with glucose feeding or insulin was less than that of their respective normoglycemic controls. The rectal temperature on exposure to heat in the treated animals was significantly higher than that of controls in the adult, but not in young rats. Exposure to heat of the normoglycemic and glucose-fed animals resulted in a rise in blood glucose in the adults and a fall in the young. The already raised blood glucose level in the streptozotocin-treated animals rose further on exposure to heat. The rate of recovery of the blood glucose was not significantly altered by exposure of the animals to heat 60 min after administration of insulin or insulin plus glucose. 相似文献
