Abstract:
Objective To explore the characteristics of the effect of echinacoside on lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetic mice,and to investigate the content of growth factor 21 in liver tissue of diabetic mice,providing further insight into the possible way of regulating blood lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetic mice with Echinacea.Methods Twenty db/db mice (6-week-old) were randomly divided into two groups:experimental group and model group;while six db/m mice (SPF) (6-week-old) were control group.We detected the fasting blood glucose after 2 weeks that was higher than 16.7mmol/L in experiment.Each group was given sterilized distilled water,echinaco side,sterilized distilled water.The serum total,cholesterol,triglyceride,high density lipoprotein,low density lipoprotein,alanine aminotransferase level,aspartate,aminotransferase level,and the liver tissue measurement of fibroblast growth factor 21 levels were detected after eight weeks.Results The model group serum TG,TC and LDL were significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.01).The content of serum HDL was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.01).Experimental group of serum TG,TC and LDL levels were significantly lower than the model group (P < 0.01).The content of serum HDL was significantly higher than that in the model group (P < 0.01).The expression of FGF21 in model group in liver were significantly lower than that of control group (P < 0.01).The experimental group the expression of FGF21 in mouse liver was significantly higher than that in the model group (P < 0.01).The content of ALT and AST in serum of model group was significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.01).Experimental group serum ALT,AST were significantly lower than the experimental group (P < 0.01).Conclusion After 8 weeks of administration,the serum lipid metabolism disorder of db/db diabetic mice was significantly improved,and the liver function damage was not increased.The mechanism of FGF21 may be related to the improvement of the expression level of liver tissue.
