Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of Furong-Tongmai capsules on the expressions of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the sciatic nerve in diabetic rats.Methods A total of 50 rats were randomly divided into the normal control group,model group,and low-,medium-,and high-dose of Furong-Tongmai groups,10 rats in each group.Diabetes mellitus in rats were induced by intraperitoneal streptozotocin injection (60 mg/kg).The rats in the low-,medium-,and high-dose of Furong-Tongmai groups were intragastric administrated with Furong-Tongmai suspension 0.7,1.4 and 2.8 g/kg daily for 8 weeks,respectively.The rots in the normal control group and model group were intragastric administrated with equal-volume normal saline daily for 8 weeks.The expression levels of IL-1 and TNF-α in the sciatic nerve were detected with immunohistochemistry staining.Results The expression levels of IL-1 (1.43％ ± 0.17％ vs.0.21％ ± 0.09％;P＜0.05) and TNF-α (1.98％ ± 0.12％ vs.0.35％ ± 0.03％;P＜0.05) in the model group were significantly increased than those in the normal control group.The expression levels of IL-1 (0.54％ ± 0.14％,0.51％ ± 0.13％ vs.1.43％ ± 0.17％;all P＜0.05) and TNF-α (0.57％ ± 0.17％,0.49％ ± 0.15％ vs.1.98％ ± 0.12％;all P＜0.05) in the medium-,and high-dose of Furong-Tongmai groups were significantly decreased than those in the model group and low-dose of Furong-Tongmai group (1.08％ ± 0.18％ in IL-1,1.11％ ± 0.09％ in TNF-α;all P＜0.05).Conclusion Furong-Tongmai capsules can reduce the expressions of IL-1 and TNF-α in sciatic nerve in diabetic rats.
