Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the hypoglycemic effects of an ethanol extract of Cassia abbreviata (ECA) bark and the possible mechanisms of its action in diabetic albino rats. Methods: ECA was prepared by soaking the powdered plant material in 70% ethanol. It was filtered and made solvent-free by evaporation on a rotary evaporator. Type 2 diabetes was induced in albino rats by injecting 35 mg/kg body weight (bw) of streptozotocin after having fed the rats a high-fat diet for 2 weeks. Diabetic rats were divided into ECA-150, ECA-300 and Metformin (MET)-180 groups, where the numbers are the doses in mg.kg.bw administered to the groups. Normal (NC) and diabetic (DC) controls were given distilled water. The animals had their fasting blood glucose levels and body weights determined every 7 days for 21 days. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) were carried out in all animals at the beginning and the end of the experiment. Liver and kidney samples were harvested for glucose 6 phosphatase (G6Pase) and hexokinase activity analyses. Small intestines and diaphragms from normal rats were used for ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ and glucose uptake studies against the extract. Results: Two doses, 150 and 300 mg/kg bw, significantly reduced the fasting blood glucose levels in diabetic rats and helped them maintain normal body weights. The glucose level in DC rats significantly increased while their body weights decreased. The 150 mg/kg bw dose significantly increased hexokinase and decreased G6Pase activities in the liver and the kidneys. ECA inhibited ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity and promoted glucose uptake in the rats' hemi-diaphragms. Conclusion: This study revealed that ECA normalized blood glucose levels and body weights in type 2 diabetic rats. The normalization of the glucose levels may possibly be due to inhibition of ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, decreased G6Pase activity, increased hexokinase activity and improved glucose uptake by muscle tissues.

This study was designed to examine the effects of sea buckthorn (SBT) on the plasma blood glucose and cholesterol level in diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200~220 g by an injection of streptozotocin (STZ) dissolved in a citrate buffer into the tail vein at a dose of 45 mg/kg of body weight. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed an AIN-93 recommended diet and the experimental groups were fed a modified diet containing 10% and 20% of SBT powder for 4 weeks. The experimental groups were divided into 6 groups which consisted of normal (N)-control group, N-SBT 10% and N-SBT 20% treated groups, STZ-control, STZ-SBT 10% and STZ-SBT 20% treated groups. The rats' body weight, aminotransferase activities and hematocrit (Hct) values were measured along with plasma levels of blood glucose and cholesterol. Body weight losses were observed by diabetic groups While the nondiabetic rats gained weight. There were significant differences between the control group and the diabetic groups in the weight of kidney. Aspartate aminotransferase activity was lower in the non-diabetic group compared to diabetic experimental groups. The blood glucose were significantly decreased in the 10% SBT of diabetic group. The cholesterol level of STZ-SBT 10% and STZ- SBT 20% were significantly lower than for the STZ-control group. These results show that the supplementation of sea buckthorn leave powder may have favorable influence on reducing blood glucose and cholesterol level in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

In this study, we assessed the effects of dietary supplementation with Ecklonia cava on blood glucose, lipid metabolism, and renal oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a normal rat group fed on a control diet and diabetic rats fed on a control diet or supplemented with powder (15% w/w) or water extract of Ecklonia cava (2.5% w/w). Diabetes was induced by a single injection of STZ (60 mg/kg, ip) in citrate buffer. The animals were fed ad libitum with the experimental diet and water for 5 weeks. Dietary supplementation of Ecklonia cava powder and water extract was shown to reduce blood glucose levels in the diabetic rats, and the water extract was more effective than the powder. Dietary supplementation with Ecklonia cava also reduced LDL cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol levels in the diabetic rats. Renal glutathione S-transferase activity was increased in the diabetic rats as compared to the normal rats, but reverted to near control values as the result of dietary supplementation with Ecklonia cava. These results show that Eklonia cava exerts an anti-diabetic effect by improving blood glucose concentrations, LDL/HDL-cholesterol ratios, and antioxidative effects on the kidney in diabetic rats.

The KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD) was launched in 2011 with the support of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. The study was designed with the aim of exploring the various clinical features and characteristics of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Koreans, and elucidating the risk factors for CKD progression and adverse outcomes of CKD. For the cohort study, nephrologists at 9 tertiary university-affiliated hospitals participated in patient recruitment and follow-up. Biostatisticians and epidemiologists also participated in the basic design and structuring of the study. From 2011 until 2016, the KNOW-CKD Phase I recruited 2238 adult patients with CKD from stages G1 to G5, who were not receiving renal replacement therapy. The KNOW-CKD Phase II recruitment was started in 2019, with an enrollment target of 1500 subjects, focused on diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive kidney diseases in patients with reduced kidney function who are presumed to be at a higher risk of adverse outcomes. As of 2021, the KNOW-CKD investigators have published articles in the fields of socioeconomics, quality of life, nutrition, physical activity, renal progression, cardiovascular disease and outcomes, anemia, mineral bone disease, serum and urine biomarkers, and international and inter-ethnic comparisons. The KNOW-CKD researchers will elaborate a prediction model for various outcomes of CKD such as the development of end-stage kidney disease, major adverse cardiovascular events, and death.

This study was carried out to investigate diabetic renal changes in cyclophosphamide(CY) treated nonobese diabetic(NOD) mice and to develop animal model of diabetic human nephropathy. The 8-week-old NOD and ICR mice were injected with cyclophosphamide intraperitoneally at 200mg/kg body weight and compared the chemical effects on these mice with the non-treated NOD and ICR mice respectively. The renal glomeruli in ICR, cyclophosphamide-treated ICR(ICR+CY), NOD and cyclophosphamide-treated NOD(NOD+CY) mice were observed by the light and electron microscopes. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. Spontaneous incidences of diabetes mellitus in NOD mice were significantly promoted by dosing with cyclophosphamide. 2. Glomerulohypertrophy, proliferation of mesangium, partial thickening of glomerular basement membrane, and partial fusion of pedicels of podocyte were observed in NOD mice and NOD+CY mice. These changes were not observed in both ICR mice and ICR+CY mice. 3. The diabetic nephropathy observed in NOD+CY mice was more severe than that of non-treated NOD mice.

제2형 당뇨 동물모델(C57BL/KsJ-db/db)을 대상으로 대두 이소플라본의 주성분인 genistein과 daidzein의 항산화효능을 검증하고자 5주령의 수컷 C57BL/KsJ-db/db 마우스와 그의 이형접합체인 C57BL/KsJ-db/+ 마우스를 2주간 환경에 적응시킨 후 비당뇨군(db/+), 당뇨대조군(db/db), genistein 급여군(db/db-genistein), daidzein 급여군(db/db- daidzein)으로 나누어 6주간 사육하였다. 실험동물의 간, 부고환지방과 신주변지방의 조직무게는 당뇨군(db/db)이 비당뇨군(db/+)에 비해 유의적으로 높았으나, 심장무게는 유의적으로 낮았다. Genistein과 daidzein 급여는 장기무게 변화에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 적혈구의 SOD와 CAT활성은 혈당과 양의 상관성을 보였으나 GSH-Px활성은 음의 상관성을 나타내었다. 따라서 SOD와 CAT활성은 db/db군이 db/+군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 반면, GSH-Px 활성은 유의적으로 낮았다. Genistein과 daidzein 급여로 db/db군의 증가된 CAT활성은 감소되었으며 GSH-Px활성은 높게 나타났다. 적혈구의 GSH함량은 당뇨군들이 비당뇨군에 비해 유의적으로 높았으나 genistein과 daidzein에 의한 영향은 관찰되지 않았다. 간, 신장 및 심장조직 내 SOD활성은 유의적인 변화가 없었으나 간조직 중 CAT와 GSH-Px활성과 신장조직 중의 GSH-Px활성은 db/db군이 db/+군에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타난 반면 신장조직 중의 CAT활성과 심장조직 중의 CAT와 GSH-Px활성은 낮았다. 그러나 genistein과 daidzein 급여는 고혈당으로 인한 조직 내 CAT와 GSH- Px활성을 유의적으로 개선하였다. 적혈구를 비롯하여 모든 조직 내 지질과산화물 함량은 db/db군이 db/+군에 비하여 유의적으로 높았으나 genistein과 daidzein 급여로 간, 신장과 심장조직 중의 지질과산화물 생성이 유의적으로 억제되었다. 이와 같이 genistein과 daidzein은 제2형 당뇨동물에서 고혈당으로 야기되는 적혈구와 조직 내 항산화효소 변화를 완화하고 간, 신장 및 심장조직의 지질과산화물을 낮추는 것으로 관찰됨으로써 이들의 항산화작용을 통한 당뇨 합병증을 예방할 것으로 사료된다.

The possible effects of 10% carbohydrate containting diets on the serum glucose and lipids values were studied with normal and alloxan - diabetic male rats for a period of 28 days. The diets were supplemented with either glucose, cornstarch or sucrose, fructose or the basal diet containing no added carbohy drates. After this period, 3 to 4 rats among the each group were killed and samples of serum, liver, spleen and kidney were collected. The others were rendered diabetic by the intraperitoneal injection of alloxan ($190mg/\frac{wt}{kg}$). Then original feeding scedule was continued for 3 days in all five diabetic groups, before the collection of tissue samples and serum. Feeding the nondiabetic rats with glucose and fructose delayed the bodyweight development relatively compared with nonsugar group. The weight deductions after alloxan injection were similar in all feeding groups. All diabetic animals exhibited increased blood glucose triglceride levels but almost unchanged total cholesterol values. Blood glucose values for nondiabetic rats were normal ranges, and then glucose feeding group was the highest. Total - cholesterol values were the highest in nondiabetic rats fed glucose, fructose and in diabetics fed sucrose, glucose. Triglyceride values were the highest in nondiabetic rats fed sucrose, and no difference in diabetic rats. Some cornstarch group exhibited fatty-livers in diabetic and nondiabetic, and more studies need.

당뇨병은 인슐린 분비 또는 인슐린 작용의 장애로 발생하는 대사질환이다. 그 중 제1형 당뇨병은 흔히 혈당 조절이 어려우며 눈과 신장을 침범하는 미세혈관합병증이 발생할 수 있다. 당뇨병성 신병증은 소아에서 흔하지 않지만 신부전까지 일으킬 수 있는 심각한 질환이다. 그런데, 많은 연구들에서 당뇨병이 사춘기 전에 발생하는 경우보다 사춘기나 그 이후에 발생하는 경우에 미세혈관 합병증의 발생이 증가한다는 사실이 알려졌다. 사춘기 전에 발생한 소아 당뇨병성 신병증은 국내에서 보고된 예가 거의 없는 상태로, 저자들은 여러 차례의 당뇨병성 케톤산혈증의 과거력이 있으며 혈당 조절이 불량했던 제 1형 당뇨병 소아 환자에서 혈뇨와 단백뇨가 관찰되어 조직 검사를 통해 사춘기 전에 발생한 당뇨병성 신병증을 확진한 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
