Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of Jiaweibugan decoction on c-jun mRNA expression of sciatic nerve in experimental di-abetic rat and explore the preventive and therapeutic effects of Jiaweibugan decoction on peripheral neuropathy in experimental diabetic rats. Methods The diabetic rat model, was established by streptozotocin (STZ). The rots were killed on the 4th or 8th week from the beginning of treatment, and c-jun mRNA of sciatic nerve was detected by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Serum SOD was determined by xanthine oxidase method. Results The results of RT-PCR showed that c-jun mRNA expression of the model group on the 4th or 8th week was higher than that of the normal control group (P <0.05) , while those in model rats treated by Jiaweibugan decoction were markedly lower than those in non-treated model rats(P <0.05). The results showed that SOD of the model group on the 4th or 8th week was lower than that of the normal control group (P < 0.05) , while those in model rats treated by Jiaweibugan decoction were markedly higher than those in non-treated model rats(P < 0.05). Conclusion Jiaweibugan decoction has a preventive and therapeutic effect on peripheral neuropathy in experimental diabetic rats.
