Abstract:Objective: To observe the influence of PRD(Pu Ren Dan) ultramicro-powder on the functional indexes correlated with glycometabolism in T2DM rats,including plasma glucose,glucose tolerance,glycosylated serum protein, serum insulin and insulin sensitivity index.And to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of PRD. Method: Wistar rats were fed fat milk,and small doses of streptozotocin was rapidly injected into tail vein.Animal models of type 2 diabetes with macroangiopathy characterized by insulin resistance were successfully prepared in a short time.The model rats were randomly divided into five groups including PRD low dose,PRD medium dose,PRD high dose,rosiglitazone maleate and model groups. Every group was respectively treated for 4 weeks with PRD low dose, PRD medium dose,PRD high dose,rosiglitazone maleate and water. Random plasma glucose of rats were respectively measured before treatment,after 2 weeks and 4 weeks with treatment. Fasting serum insulin and glycosylated serum protein content of rats were measured on the 4th weekend.And Insulin sensitivity index were calculated. Result: As compared with normal group rats, random plasma glucose and glycosylated serum protein content of model group rats were increased,while serum insulin and insulin sensitivity index significantly were decreased(P<0.01). Random plasma glucose and glycosylated serum protein content of rats were all significantly reduced in PRD low, medium, high dose and rosiglitazone maleate groups (P<0.05~0.01).Serum insulin content and insulin sensitivity index of T2DM model rats treated by PRD medium, high dose and rosiglitazone maleate were significantly increased(P<0.05~0.01). Conclusion: Based on reducing the high level of plasma glucose and glycosylated serum protein content, PRD ultramicro-powder can enhance insulin sensitivity of T2DM rats and improve glycometabolism in T2DM rats.
