The diagnosis of canine diabetes mellitus is generally made by measuring serum fructosamine levels. The Rosental's end points Tas and El Din's kinetic, and Johnson and colleagues'kinetic techiniques were compared for the measuring serum fructosamine levels. In the Rosental's end point methods within-run and between-run coefficient of variability (CV) were 2.4-3.5% and 6.8-8.5%, respectively, and in the Tas and El Din's kinetic method, within-run and between-run CV were 1.3-3.0% and 3.4-3.9%, respectively. In the Johnson and colleagues'kinetic methods within-run and between-run CV were 0-1.8% and 3.1-6.8%1 ruts- pectively. Hyperlipidemia induced by oral administration of 3 ml of corn oil per kilogram body weight did not affect serum fructosamine concentration significantly in the Johnson and colleagues' kinetic method Johnson and colleagues'kinetic method is most reliable and consistant on the basis of comparison study.

Four out of 15 dogs were successfully induced diabetes mellitus with intravenous iqiection of 30 mg of streptozotgin and 50 mg of alloxan monohydrate per kilogram body weight and maintained more than 9 weeks without iqiection of insulin or oral hypoglycemic sgent Histopathologicallyi these four dogs have typical diabetic lesions such as degeneration and vacuolation of pancreatic islet cells, and fatty change of liver at necropsy in the end of study. Serum glucose level increased dramatically at 24 hours post-injection but serum fructosamine level increased gradually and reached plateau at 31-41 days post-injection of streptozotocin and alloxan. Serum fructosamine concert%lion correlated very well with serum glucose concentration of preceding 4-7 weeks in experimentally induced diabetic dogs. Our data suggest that serum fructosamine reflects mean glucose concentration of preceding 4-7 weeks in experimentally induced diabetic dogs.

The inhibitory activities of Amberlite active fraction, which was obtained from methanol soluble fraction of freeze dried slikworm urine, on the rat intestinal glycosidase-catalyzed enzymatic reaction were examined in in viro and in vivo experiments. Amberlite active fraction showed significant inhibitory effects on the hydrolysis of o-glycosidic bond, especially $\alpha$-1,4 bond. On the other hand, the inhibition on the hydrolysis of $\beta$-glycosidic bond was very weak. Oral administration of Amberlite active fraction resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in the blood glucose after an oral maltose load, and postprandial hyperglycemia in carbohydrate-loaded mice was suppressed by Amberlite active fraction at 60 mgHg in decreasing order of maltose, starch, sucrose and lactose. 60 mg/kg of Amberlite active fraction lowered the blood glucose level markedly after 18, 35, and 60 min after an oral maltose load and the antihyperglycemic activity was maintained upto 90 min. In alloxan-induced hyperglycemic mice, Amberlite active fraction at a dose of 100 mg/kg also significantly lowered blood glucose after an oral maltose load, and its efficacy was almost equivalent to that of acarbowe.

To investigate anti-diabetic component from the node of lotus rhizome (Nelumbo nucifera; Nymphaeaceae), activity guided isolation was conducted. One amino acid was isolated from active fraction of the aqueous methanolic extract. The structure of this compound was identified as tryptophan (1) by the analysis of spectroscopic evidences and comparisons with the data of authentic samples. Tryptophan reduced the blood glucose level significantly in glucose-fed hyperglycemic mice compared with glucose-treated group and exhibited 44.3% of activity compared with tolbutamide,.

Male rats of Albino strain were divided into four groups. The radioprotective effect of treatment with S-2(3-aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid(WR-2721) using the dose of 200 mg/kg by intraperitonial injection on rats for 20 min prior to whole body x-ray irradiation (8 Gy) was studied. The harzardous effects of x-ray irradiation were greatly corrected In the treated group. The concentrations of total serum cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipid were greatly affected, showing insignificant changes in the treated group of animals. The drastic hyperglycemic effect of x-ray irradiation in the untreated group decreased to a normal level. These results show the potentiality of WR-2721 as a radioprotective agent.

To elucidate the effect of ginseng butanol fraction on streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia, ginseng butanol fraction was administered before and after injection of streptozotocin(50mg/kg, i.v.), and glucose, insulin, and cholesterol levels in serum were determined at 96 hours after streptozotocin injection. Serum glucose, insulin levels were significantly decreased by administration of ginseng butanol fraction (100mg/kg, p.o.) at 7 hour and 7, 4, 1, hour(three times) before streptozotocin injection. The glucose levels were significantly decresed by administration of ginseng butanol fraction at 1 hour (100mg/kg) after strcptozotocin injection, and also serum glucose levels in groups of continuous administration of ginseng butanal fraction(100mg/kg) for 3 days after streptozotocin injection were markedly decreased than in group of single dose of ginseng butanol fraction. Ginseng butanol fraction has the protective and relieving action against streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia.

The herbaceous species of phyllanthus in this genus are used as hyperglycemic, diuretic, and malaria agent in the world. For the phytochemical studies and the investigation of medicinal resources in the Phyllanthus species, Phyllanthus ussuriensis (Euphorbiaceae) were used and the studies of constituents in this plant were carried out. From the aqueous fraction of methanolic extract, one flavonoid (quercetin-3-O-rutinoside), two gallotannins (gallic acid, methyl gallate), and two ellagitannins (corilagin, geraniin) were isolated through fractionation and repeated column chromatography using Amberlite XAD-4, ODS gel, and sephadex LH-20. The structures of these compounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic evidences.

The behavioral response, depamine metabolism, and characteristics of dopamine subtypes after developing the hyperlycemia were studied in the striata of rats. In animals developed hyperglycemia, the on-set duration of cataleptic behavior responded to SCH 23390 injection was delayed abd shortened, respectively. However, the cataleptic response to spiperone occurred significantly earlier in on-set and prolonged in duration. Dopamine metabolites, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DDPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA), were significantly reduced in teh striata of hyeprglycemic rats. However, level of DA was significantly increased. It is noted that the ratios of DOPAC and HVA to DA were decreased, suggesting decreased tumover of DA. The affinity of striatal D-1 receptors was significantly increased without changes in the number of binding sites, while the maximum binding number of D-2 recptors was significantly increased without affecting its affinity in the diabetic rats. These results indicate that the dopaminergic activity in striatia was altered in hyperglycemic rats. Furthermore, it suggests that the upregulation of dopamine receptors might be due to the decreased dopamine matabolism.

A new glycoprotein was purified from the aqueous methanolic extract of the root bark of Morus alba which has been used as a component of antidiabetic remedy in Oriental Medicine. SDS-PAGE result shows that the molecular weight of the glycoprotein was approximately 20 kDa. This new glycoprotein was named as Moran 20K. The protein lowered blood glucose level in streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic mice model and it also increased the glucose transport in cultured epididymis fat cells. The amino acid composition of the protein was analyzed, and the protein contained above 20% serine and cysteine such as insulin. The actual molecular weight of the protein was determined as 21.858 Da by MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy.

The effect of prolonged treatment with Mori Folium column fraction(MFCF) on intestinal ${\alpha}$-glycosidase activity has been studied in mice made hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic by feeding a high carbohydrate-containing diet. Mice were treated for 10 week with or without MFCF, added to the high carbohydrate-containing diet at 50mg/100g food. While MFCF had no effect on body weight, it prevented the rise in glycemia and insulinemia. Maltase, sucrase and lactase activities were measured in intestinal homogenates of proximal, middle and distal segments of jejunoileum. Following 10 week of MFCF administration, MFCF significantly induced all three enzyme activities especially at middle and distal segments. The mechanisms responsible for these changes and their potential biochemical implications remain to be determined.
