AIM:To investigate the effect of tribu saponin from Tribulus terrestris(STT) on the lipoprotein lipase(LPL) and hepatic lipase(HL) activity in lipid metabolic disorder mice.METHODS:Mice being fed lipodiet were taken in STT through the experiment with Fenofibrate as positive control drug.Four weeks later,the levels of LPL in the plasma,the adipose tissue,liver tissue,muscular tissue and the levels HL activity in the plasma,liver tissue were estimated with LPL and HL Kit.RESULTS:HL activity in liver tissue in lipid metabolic disorder group was significantly lower than that in STT,Fenonbrate and normal group(P0.05).In STT group,the LPL activity in adipose was lower(P

AIM: To study medical effect of the antioxidation activity of essential oil from smell storusbill(Pelargonium graveolens,L'Her)(PLO) METHODS: Free radicals(O?_2、?OH and DPPH?)scavenging activities were investigated in different special chemical systems.Its anti-lipoperoxidantion activity was studied with MDA generation model in vitro.The effect of the hemolysis of cavy RBC induced by H_2O_2 was also studied.The components of PLO was identified by GC-FID. RESULTS: It was found that PLO showed higher anti-lipoperoxidantion on MDA generation spontaneously in homogenates of cavy heart,liver and kidney.There were significant differences on lipid peroxidant of the cavy liver homogenate induced by CCl_4 between control group and PLO.There were higher scavenging effect of the extracts of foliage on O?_2 and DPPH?PLO could strongly inhibit the hemolysis of cavy RBC induced by H_2O_2.The result of GC-FID and DPPH? scavenging activities indicated that the antioxidantion of citronellol was similar with PLO. CONCLUSION: PLO is a good antioxidation and citronellol is the main antioxidated substance in PLO.

Objective: To study the hypoglycemic activity of polysaccharides from Tremella aurantialba mycelium (TMP). Methods: The anti-hyperglycemic effect of TMP was investigated in normal mice and diabetic rats induced by alloxan in comparison with phenformin and acarbose. Results: TMP not only decreased serum glucose level in normal mice, but also in diabetic rats. After i.g.TMP to hyperglycemic rats for 1w, the glucose and TG in serum were decreased obviously , but serum TC did not change remarkably. After i.g. 100 mg/(kg ?d) TMP to hyperglycemic rats for 23 d, liver glycogen and BLA did not change significantly, but serum glucose was reduced obviously compared with the control . Conclusion: TMP has obvious hypoglycemic activity and can reduce hyperlipemic complications.

Aim To investigate the Yiqi Yangyin Qingre Oral Liquid(YYQ) on insulin resistance in hyperglycemic fatty rats.Methods The model of hyperglycemic fatty rats was induced by intravenous injection with a low dose of streptozotocin(STZ) and a fed high fat and high caloric diet.The YYQ was given via gavage for a period of 4 weeks.The fasting blood glucose(FBG),oral glucose tolerance(OGT),serum insulin(INS),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),free fatty acid(FFA)levels,glucose infusion rate(GIR) by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique as well as erythrocyte insulin receptors(INSR)of rats were tested when the experiment was finished.The weight of the epididymal fat pads and the perirenal fat pads were measured.The IR,IRS-1mRNA expressions in liver tissue were measured by RT-PCR technology.Results YYQ treatment decreased the levels of FBG,TC,TG,LDL-C,FFA and increased the level of HDL-C in hyperglycemic fatty rats.As compared with the model rats,glucose tolerance was improved and body weight was reduced in hyperglycemic fatty rats treated with YYQ.Moreover,YYQ treatment upregulated IR,IRS-1mRNA expressions in liver tissue and increased insulin receptor amounts on the erythrocytes surface as well as GIR in the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp experiment.Conclusions YYQ ameliorated insulin resistance in hyperglycemic fatty rats,and its mechanism might be related to increment of INSR and stimulation of insulin pathway.

Objective: To study the effect of flavonoids from seed residues of Hippophae rhamnoides L.( FSH) and Hippophae rhamnoides L. oil(HRO)on serum lipid in female rats with obesity. Methods Female aged rats with obesity were given FSH and HRO by oral administration for 6 w. Serum triglyceride(TG) and cholesterol(TC) were determined every 2 w. The serum free fatty acid (FFA), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),body weight and Lee’s index were measured after 6 w. Results: Serum TG and FFA level decreased significantly in rats given FSH. At the same time, FSH could inhibit the increase in body weight and Lee’s index. HRO could regulate the lipid metabolism and decrease serum TG level significantly in female aged rats with obesity. Conclusion: Both FSH and HRO can improve lipid metabolism in female aged rats with obesity.

Objective: To study the anti hyperglycemic effect of rubusoside on diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ)and its mechanism . Methods: The STZ induced diabetic rats were dived into three groups and were given (ig.) saline, rubusoside and Phenformin respectively once a day. After three weeks, the levels of serum glucose, fructosamine, insulin,SOD were assayed. Results: Rubusoside could reduce the level of serum glucose significantly, enhance the ability of anti oxidation and stimulate the secretion of insulin in STZ induced diabetic rats. Conclusion: The action of rubusoside on secretion of insulin can be explained for the anti hyperglycemic effect.

Objective: To study the antihyperglycemic effect of flavonoids from seed (FSH) and fruit(FFH) of Hippophae rhamnoides L.on diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Methods: The STZ-induced diabetic rats were randomly divided into four groups and were given intragastrically (ig) water, metformin, FSH and FFH respectively once a day. After four weeks, the levels of serum glucose, fructosamine, lipid, protein, GSH and lactic acid (LD) were assayed. Results: FSH could reduce the levels of serum glucose, fructosamine and triglyceride significantly, increase the contents of serum total protein and albumin obviously, enhance the ability of antioxidation in STZ-induced diabetic rats. FSH also could decrease food and water intake of diabetic rats evidently. But FSH had little effect on LD, LDH, glycogen and body weight in diabetic rats. FFH was not as good as FSH. Conclusion: FSH is antihyperglycemic , and can improve the metabolic derangements of STZ- induced diabetic rats.
