Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of Resina Draconis on the levels of plasma glucose,insulin and lipids in normal and diabetic rats. Methods: Hyperglycemia rat models were induced by glucose or adrenaline and rat models with diabetes mellitus were induced by alloxan.The levels of plasma glucose, insulin and lipids (triglyceride, total cholesterol and HDL-C) were determined. Results: Resina Draconis had no obvious effects in decreasing the plasma sugar level in normal fasted rats but could decrease the plasma sugar level and improve the glucose-resistance in glucose-induced or adrenaline-induced hyperglycemic rats and alloxan-induced fasted diabetic rats and increase insulin secretion in both normal and diabetic rats. It could also decrease the plasma lipid level in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Conclusion: Resina Draconise exerts a good therapeutic effect on hyperglycemia in diabetic rats and its mechanism may be related to the increase of the secretion of insulin.
