Abstract:
Objective To research the function of hypoglycemic and antiobesity of L-Arabinose in New Zealand rabbit. Methods Thirty-two New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, 8 rabbits in each group. The control group was fed with high fat and high sucrose diet only. L-Arabinose group was fed with high fat and high sucrose diet along with L-Arabinose, the dosage were 0.308 5, 0.617, 0.925 5 g/kg respectively. After fed for two months, all groups were given L-Arabinose, and blood glucose was detected after orally given sucrose 0, 0.5, 2 h. After intervention of L-Arabinose for one month, the data of weight, food intake, stool quantity and the fat index were observed. Results L-Arabinose decreased significantly sucrose absorption, lower the fasting glucose level and the data of area-under-curve (AUC) significantly. Conclusion L-Arabinose proved to be highly effective in preventing the rise of circulating glucose and fat.
