Dolichos biflorus Linn. (Fabaceae), commonly known as Horse gram is a medicinal plant, used in folk medicine for treating kidney stones and diabetes mellitus. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of daily oral feeding of various doses of methanolic extract of Dolichos biflorus seeds (DB) for 42 days on blood glucose concentrations and kidney functions in Alloxan-diabetic rats. Plasma glucose levels, body weight, serum creatinine, and urinary albumin levels were monitored on $15^{th}$, $29^{th}$, $43^{rd}$ day. Renal hypertrophy was assessed as the ratio between the kidney weight and body weight of the rats. Plasma glucose concentrations in Alloxan-diabetic rats were significantly reduced by the administration of DB (350 mg/kg) and DB (700 mg/kg) on day 15 and onwards (P < 0.01). After 15 days of Alloxan administration urinary albumin levels (UAE) were over 5 fold higher in diabetic controls as compared to normal controls. Treatment with DB significantly prevented the rise in UAE levels from day 15 to 43 in comparison to diabetic controls (P < 0.01). Renal hypertrophy was significantly higher in diabetic controls as compared to non-diabetic controls. Treatments with DB (350 mg/kg) and DB (700 mg/kg) significantly prevented renal hypertrophy (P < 0.01) as compared to diabetic controls. DB (175 mg/kg) failed to modify renal hypertrophy. Thus the present study indicates that methanolic extract of Dolichos biflorus may be useful in management of hyperglycemia and kidney functions in Alloxan-diabetic rats.

The antidiabetic effect of Amomum xanthioides(A. xanthioides) extract was investigated. Alloxan caused the hyperglycemia and hypoinsulinemia by a selective destruction of pancreatic ${\beta}$-cell. Pretreatment of mouse with A. xanthiodies extract for 2 days prior to alloxan administration completely protected hyperglycemia induced by alloxan. In addition, administration of A. xanthioides extract to alloxan-induced diabetic mouse significantly abolished hyperglycemia, hypoinsulinemia, and, the reduction of size and number of insulin-secreting cells induced by alloxan. Administration of A. xanthioides extract to alloxan-induced diabetic mouse rapidly increased pancreatic Reg gene expression to 7 days, and then decreased. In alloxan-diabetic mouse. Reg gene expression was increased at 3 days after alloxan injection, and sustained until 24 days. The present results indicate that A. xanthioides extract contains potentially effective components exhibiting both protection and treatment of alloxan-induced diabetes. These results suggested that the antidiabetic effect of A. xanthoides extract may be mediated through the regeneration of pancreatic ${\beta}$-cells.

Reactive oxygen species are produced under diabetic conditions and possibly cause various forms of tissue damage in patients with diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of high glucose on the alloxan-induced beta cell injury. The insulinoma (RINm5F) cells were clutured either with high glucose (22.2 mM) or normoglucose (5.6 mM) in RPMI 1460 media for 3 days. The SOD activities were determined by spectrophotometric assay and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) stain. The effects of high glucose on the cytotoxicity of alloxan were also investigated in RINm5F cells and the cells viability were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) methods. Results showed that the CuZn-SOD activity was decreased but Mn-SOD activity was increased significantly in RINm5F cells cultured with high glucose (22.2 mM) media. The cytotoxicity of alloxan was increased by high glucose compared with normoglucose in RINm5F cells. Diethyl-dithiocarbarmate (DDC), as inhibitor of CuZn-SOC, also potentiate the alloxan-induced cytotoxocity in RINm5F cells. These results suggest that, in RINm5F cells, short term culture with high glucose media decreases Cu-Zn-SOD activity and the decreased activity of CuZn-SOD many one of the causative factors of beta-cell injury induced by high glucose.

닭의장풀 추출액을 쥐의 체중 1 kg 당 40 mg의 alloxan을 미정맥 주사한 당뇨쥐를 실험군으로 하여 혈당강하효과를 보았다. 정상대조군에게는 0.9% saline용액을 투여하고 당뇨쥐에게는 쥐의 체중 1 kg당 100 mg의 식물단백추출액을 경구투여하여 683.6$\pm$115.61 (mg/dl)에서 85.6$\pm$43.34 (mg/dl)의 혈당치의 정상수준으로 회복하는 경향을 확인하였다. 정상군과 당뇨대조군, 약물투여군으로 나눈 실험쥐를 대상으로 간조직에서의 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) 효소의 활성도를 측정한 결과 당뇨대조군에서는 정상군의 34.2%로 G6PD 효소 활성도가 감소되었으며 식물추출액을 투여함으로써 정상치의 61%로 회복되었다. 실험쥐 간조직내에 G6PD효소활성도의 감소 또는 회복과 G6PD isozyme분자의 구조변화와의 연관성을 알아보기 위하여 native gel 전기영동을 실시하였다. 정상쥐의 간조직에서의 G6PD isozyme형태는 band I, II, III(전기영동상의 분자이동 차이에 따른 형태)로 나타났고 alloxan을 투여한 당뇨쥐의 간조직내에서는 band I, III만이 나타났다. 닭의장풀 추출액을 투여 한 실험 군에서는 G6PD의 isozyme 형태가 정상쥐의 경우에서와 같이 band I, II와 III가 모두 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 G6PD isozyme의 구조변화가 G6PD의 효소활성도와 매우 큰 연관성이 있는 것으로 보여진다.

The purpose of this study was to reseach the effect of Daehwanggamchoeumja(大黃甘草飮子) and its component groups on diabetes, free radicals, and antioxidants system in Alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The experimental group was divided into three groups: Daehwanggamchoeumja(DG), and its components groups, Gamdutang (Gamcho&Daedu; DG-I) and Daehwanggamchotang(DG-2). The results were obtained as follows: 1. In the study of effect on diabetic metabolic dysfunction(Glucose, Triglyceride, Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Total Protein, Albumin, Creatine, BUN), only DG has a significant effect. 2. In the study on free radical scavenging effect in vitro(the suppressing effect on peroxidation of linoleic acid on concentration, the scavenging effect of DPPH radical, inhibitory effect of superoxide in xanthine-xanthine oxidase system, inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation reaction by hydroxy radical in $H_2O_2Fe^{2-}$system, and the effect on Nitrate reductase activity), DG and DG-2 have more effect than DG-l relatively. 3. In the study on antioxidants system in vivo(The level of serum LPO, The level of hepatic LPO, Catalase, GSH, GST), only DG has a significant effect. These results suggest that Daehwanggamchoeumja(大黃甘草飮子) has an effect on diabetes, peroxidative damage by free radical, so it seems to be useful to prevent and treat diabetes. The mechanisms of these are supposed to be involved in antioxidant and three drugs' cooperative synergy effect.

당뇨환자가 합병증으로 고혈압이 있을 경우 항고혈압약물인 딜티아젬을 투여시 딜티아젬의 동태학적 측면에서 투여계획을 설계하기 위해서 토끼에 알록산을 당뇨병모델을 만들었다. 알록산으로 유도된 급성 및 만성 당뇨 토끼에서 딜티아젬의 약물동태 변화에 대한 결과는 당므과 같다. 1. Alloxan 45 mg/kg을 토끼의 귀정맥에 투여시 혈당농도는 control군에서 $112\pm20.6\;mg/dl$, acute DM군에서는 $260\pm897\;mg/dl$, chronic DM군에서는 $331\pm85\;mg/dl$으로 당뇨가 유발되었음이 확인되었다.. 2. Alloxan에 의한 당뇨병 유발토끼에서 딜티아젬의 혈중농도곡선하면적(AUC)값은 대조군$(21.6\pm2.45\;\mug/ml)$ 보다 chronic DM군$(31.91\pm379\;mg/ml{\cdot}hr)$에서 유의성(p<0.05) 있게 증가하였다. 3. 딜티아젬의 요중누적배설량은 대조군에 비해 acute 및 chronic DM군에서 감소되었으나 유의성은 없었다. 4. 당뇨병 유발 토끼에서 딜티아젬의 토탈바디클리어런스$(CL_t)$ 값과 $\beta$-소실속도정수값이 대조군에 배해서 유의성(p<0.05)있게 감소되었다. 실험적 당뇨 토끼에서 딜티아젬의 생체이용률의 증가는 딜티아젬의 토탈바디클리어런스$(CL_t)$ 값과 베타의 소실속도정수 값이 대조군에 비해서 유의성있게 감소되었기 때문으로 사료된다.

Fifteen mongrel dogs (14 male and 1 female) were injected intravenously with 30mg of streptozotocin and 50mg of alloxan monohydrate per kilogram of body weight to induce diabetes mellitus. Before treatment with streptozotocin and alloxan fasting serum glucose concentration was determined every other day or thrice a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) for 3 months. Among 15 dogs 4 dogs developed diabetes mellitus and survived more than 9 weeks without injection of insulin. After treatment fasting serum glucose and hemoglobin $A_1$ concentrations of the 4 dogs were determined every other day or thrice a week. Fasting serum glucose concentration increased acutely from 24 hours after treatment and then showed severe fluctuation. Hemoglobin $A_1$ concentration increased gradually until 7~9 weeks after treatment and then showed very slow increase afterwards. Correlation of hemoglobin $A_1$ to fasting glucose concentration was relatively weak(r = 0.10~0.80). Hemoglobin $A_1$ and fasting glucose concentration of preceding 7 week showed very high correlation (r = 0.98~0.99). It was indicated that hemoglobin $A_1$ concentration in chemically induced diabetic dogs reflects mean glucose concentration of preceding 7~9 weeks.

Herbal medicines have been used since the dawn of civilization to maintain health and to treat diseases. Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading cause of death in many developed countries. The incidence of diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate in India. It was estimated that India which had 19.4 million diabetes in 1995 is expected to register a near threefold increase by. Many plants reported to be useful for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in ayurvedic medicine, are being tested for their hypoglycemic activity in experimental animals Lagerstroemia flos- reginae is one such plant commonly found as shade trees in Kerala. In Ayurveda both root and leaves are used in the treatment of diabetes. The main objective of this study was to assess the antidiabetic effect of the alcohol extracted leaves of Lagerstroemia flos- reginae in alloxan induced diabetic rats in terms of controlling blood glucose level, lipid profile, bilirubin, uric acid in serum and lipid peroxides and glutathione in the liver of the experimental animals. The present study has been undertaken to observe the protective effect of the active constituents of Lagerstroemia flos- reginae leaf extracts against alloxan induced diabetes in experimental animal model. The activity of the active constituents was compared with Daonil -a standard drug.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Bojungikgitang(補中益氣湯), Soeumin bojungikgitang(少陰人 補中益氣湯) and its component groups on diabetes in alloxan induced diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing $200{\pm}10\;gm$ were randomly assigned to one normal, one control and five experimental groups. The experimental groups was classified into to Bojungikgitang(B1 group), Soeumin bojungikgitang(B2 group), Bogihyulyak(B0 group), Siho-sengma(B1+ group) and Gwakhyang- soyeup(B2+ group). Diabetes was experimentally induced by abdomenal injection of 100 mg/kg of body weight of alloxan. Animals were sacrificed at the 6th day and 11th day of diabetic states. The results were obtained as follows: In carbohydrate metabolism, the level of glucose in control group was three-fold higher after alloxan injection than that of normal group. In B1, B2 groups the level of glucose was decreased by 39% and 43% compared with that of control group, and in component groups it was decreased by 73%, 81%, and 80% respectively. In fat metabolism, the level of triglyceride and total cholesterol in serum were lower in B1 and B2 groups with high significant difference and had similar tendency in components groups compared with that of control group. The level of HDL cholesterol on serum were increased in B1 and B2 group with significant difference. And in component group it had similar tendency compared with that of control group. In protein metabolism, the level of total protein and albumin were higher in B1 and B2 group with significant difference, and in component group also increased but with no significancy compared with control group. In kidney function, the level of creatinine group with significant difference, and other compared with control group. In liver function, the level of GOT, GPT, ${\gamma}$-GTP. ALP and bilirubin were lower in B1 and B2 group with significant difference, and in component had similar tendency compared with control group. But in the level of LDH, it was decreased with no significancy. These results indicate that Bojungikgitang(補中益氣湯), Soeumin bojungikgitang(少陰人 補中益氣湯) has strong effect on diabetes and it is useful to prevent diabetes, and in component groups the difference between B1+ and B2+ group was not significant.
