The SPP003 is a mixture of water extract from Schizandrae Fructus, Poligoni multiflori Radix, Ginseng Radix Akba and Hoelen. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-hyperglycemic effect of SPP003 in normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, and to monitor the toxicity of SPP003. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed after oral administration of SPP003 100, 300, 600 and 900 mg/kg in normal rats. Blood glucese concentration was measured at -30 min (vehicle, SPP003 or tolbutamide 60 mg/kg, 0 min (glucose treatment), 60, 120 and 180 min. Rats were administerd STZ 65mg/kg (0.1M citrate buffer, pH 4.5) intraperitoneally to induce diabetes and administered vehicle, Spp003 (100, 300 and 600 mg/kg) or tolbutamide (60 mg/kg) orally once a day for 4 weeks. Blood glucose level was measured a 0, 4, 7, 14, 21 and 29 day after initial drug administration. A single oral toxicity of SPP003 was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes. In this study, rats were administered with doses of 1, 2 and 5 g/kg of SPP003. In glucose tolerance test, SPP003 900 mg/kg markedly decreased glucose concentration at 1 hr after glucose treatment. Blood glucose levels were much higher in STZ-diabetic rats. These increases were significantly attenuated by SPP003 600 mg/kg. SPP003 did not show any signigicant toxicity. These findings suggest that SPP003 has hypoglycemic properties in STZ-diabetic rats.

Mangosteen peel extract is a xanthone group, that plays an important role in anti-angiogenesis. This study investigated mangosteen peel extract on cerebral neovascularization in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) rats. This study used 36 rats, randomized into six groups: C1 (negative control); C2 (high fat diet (HFD) and mangosteen peel extract at 200 mg/kg BW); C3 (HFD and diabetic); E1, E2, and E3 (HFD, diabetic, and extract at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW respectively). All groups were measured body mass index (BMI), homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and β cell function (HOMA-B), and histopathological feature of cerebral vascular (CV). There were significant differences in BMI, HOMA-IR, HOMA-B, and the mean number of CV (all p < 0.05) among treatment groups. E1-3 groups had a significantly lower level of blood glucose and HOMA-IR, and a higher level of HOMA-B and BMI (all p < 0.05) which tends to reduce cerebral neovascularization. HOMA-IR independently had a positive effect to induce neovascularization of CV (p < 0.05, R² = 26.8%). These findings suggested that mangosteen peel extract increased β-cell function sensitivity, and effectively suppressed insulin resistance, BMI, and cerebral neovascularization process in type 2 DM rats.

Purpose: Oncostatin M(OSM) has been known as a role in fibrosis and anti-inflammatory effects of various organs and tissues. Although there have been a number of studies which are focused on the roles and mechanisms of OSM, there are few reports on its effects in chronic wound healing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of OSM in wound healing activities of dermal fibroblasts of chronic wound in vitro. In particular, this study is focused on cell proliferation and synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycan(GAG), which are the major components of the extracellular matrices, of diabetic fibroblasts. Methods: Fibroblasts were isolated from excess skin that was obtained from diabetic foot ulcer patients who underwent debridement. The isolated fibroblasts were cultivated in presence of OSM(100 ng/mL). Cell proliferation, collagen synthesis and GAG levels were compared. Results: All the components tested in this study increased in OSM treatment group. In particular, collagen and GAG synthesis demonstrated statistically significant increases(p<0.05 in the Mann-Whitney U-test). Conclusion: These results indicate that OSM increases wound healing activities of dermal fibroblasts of chronic wound in vitro.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Mulberry leaf (ML) has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, and suppresses postprandial hyperglycemia, which may be related to its deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) content. This study was conducted to investigate the hypoglycemic and dyslipidemic effects of rice coated with ML rich in DNJ in a type 2 diabetes mouse model. MATERIALS/METHODS: The mice were divided into four groups (n = 8 each): non-diabetic normal control (NC); diabetic control (DM-C), fed with 10% polished rice powder (DM-R); and fed with 10% polished rice powder coated with DNJ-rich ML (DM-DNJR). RESULTS: Supplementation with DNJR for six weeks decreased levels of fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, and blood glycosylated hemoglobin; conversely, levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol showed an increase in the same treatment. In addition, weights of mesenteric, epididymal, and total adipose tissues decreased with DNJR supplementation, when compared with diabetic control db/db mice, while maltase, lactase, and sucrase activity in the small intestine were inhibited. The anti-diabetic effects were marginally greater in the DM-DNJR group than in the DM-R group. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that rice coated with ML rich in DNJ can reduce hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in db/db mice, and may prove useful for individuals with diabetes.

Carnosine is a dipeptide $(\beta-alanyl-L-histidine)$ found in mammalian brain, eye, olfactory bulb and skeletal muscle at high concentrations. Its biological functions include antioxidant and anti-glycation activities. The objectives of this study were to investigate anti-diabetic effects of carnosine as determined by blood glucose levels, glucose tolerance test (GTT), glycosylated hemoglobin, and serum biochemical and lipid levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. There were five experimental groups including normal (ICR mice), control (saline), and three groups of carnosine at doses of 6, 30, and 150 mg/kg b.w.. Carnosine was orally administered to the diabetic mice everyday for 12 weeks. There was no significant difference in body weight changes in carnosine-treated groups compared to the control. The treatments of carnosine at the dose of 6 mg/kg significantly decreased the blood glucose level compared with the control at 2 and 4 weeks. The treatments of carnosine at the doses of 6 and 30 mg/kg significantly decreased the blood glucose levels in GTT and glycosylated hemoglobin compared with the control. Carnosine significantly increased total proteins compared with the control. Carnosine at the dose of 6 mg/kg significantly decreased total cholesterol and triglyceride in the serum compared to the control. These results suggest that carnosine at a low level has a hypoglycermic effect resulting from reduction of blood glucose and that a carnosine-containing diet or drug may give a benefit for controlling diabetes mellitus in humans.

Leaf of Sasa borealis, a species of bamboo, has been reported to exhibit anti-hyperglycemic effect. However, its antidiabetic mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we examined whether an extract of S. borealis activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and exerts anti-hyperglycemic effects. Treatment with the S. borealis extract increased insulin signaling and phosphorylation of AMPK and stimulated the expression of its downstream targets, including $PPAR{\alpha}$, ACO, and CPT-1 in C2C12 cells and $PPAR{\alpha}$ in HepG2 cells. However, inhibition of AMPK activation attenuated insulin signaling and prevented the stimulation of AMPK target genes. The S. borealis extract increased glucose uptake in C2C12 cells and suppressed expression of the gluconeogenic gene, PEPCK in HepG2 cells. The extract significantly reduced blood glucose and triglyceride levels in STZ-induced diabetic mice. The extract enhanced AMPK phosphorylation and increased Glut-4 expression in the skeletal muscle of the mice. These findings demonstrated that the S. borealis extract exerts its anti-hyperglycemic effect through activation of AMPK and enhancement of insulin signaling.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of green tea catechin o n free radical generation system and peroxidative damage in the liver of streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Spragu-Dawley male rats weighing 150$\pm$10gm were randomly assigned to one normal and three STZ-induced diabetic groups; diabetic groups were classified to catechin free diet(DM-oC group), 0.5% catechin diet(DM-0.5C group) and 1% catechin diet(DM-1C group) according to the levels of dietary catechin supplementation. Diabetes was experimentally induced by intravenous injection of 55mg/kg of body wt of STZ in citrate buffer(pH 4.3) after feeding of three experimental diet for 4 weeks. Animals were sacrificed at the 6th day of diabetic states. Activities of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(GPT) in DM-oC groups were higher than those of the normal group, and those in catechin supplementation group were similar to those of the normal group. Liver lipid peroxide values increased by 153%, 49%, and 27% in Dm-oC, DM-0.5C and DM-0C and Dm-1C but was not significantly different in catechin supplementation groups compared with the normal group, and liver cytochrome $P_{450}$ contents was similar to result of XOD activity. In electron microscopic examination of liver, lysosome was relatively scattered in Dm-oC and Dm-0.5C group and preserved normal shapes in DM-1C group. The present results indicate that STZ-induced diabetic rats are more sensitive to oxidative stress, leading to the acceleration of lipid peroxidation process, but this was reduced by anti-oxidative effect of high level of dietary catechin. It is concluded that dietary catechin serves as powerful antioxidant against lipid peroxidation in diabetic rats.
