Abstract:
This study was aimed to evaluate effect of Qinghua Granules (QHG) on glycometabolism, pancreatic islet function and oxidative stress in type-2 diabetics with heat syndrome. A total of 60 cases of type-2 diabetics with heat syndrome (according to the Syndrome Element Syndrome Differentiation) were enrolled in the clinic of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Tradi-tional Chinese Medicine. The average age of enrolled cases was (57.9 ± 6.9) years. Enrolled cases were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group. The original hypoglycemic plan was continued to use. In the treatment group, QHG was administrated. And in the control group, placebo was given. The administration dosage in both groups was one package per day. The treatment course was 12 weeks. The fasting and postpran-dial (120 min after standard meal) blood samples before and after medication were collected. The main evalua-tion indexes were fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). The secondary evaluation indexes were homeostasis model assessment (HOMA2-%B, HOMA2-%S, HOMA2%-IR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), maleic dialdehyde (MDA), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The anal-ysis of variance was used in the comparison of efficacy between two groups . The results showed that HbA1c in the treatment group was obviously reduced, and HOMA2-%B was obviously increased. There was no significant changes in the control group ( P = 0 . 044 , P = 0 . 016 ) . In the treatment group , SOD increased obviously , MDA reduced obviously. There was no significant change in the control group. There was difference b etween two groups (P = 0.011, P = 0.049). There was no change on blood lipids or other evaluation indexes. It was conclud-ed that QHG is effective in the improvement of glycometabolism, islet β-cell functions and oxidative stress in type-2 diabetics with heat syndrome .
