BACKGROUND

Fructus Arctii, called "Niubangzi" in China (Great burdock achene in English), is a well-known Chinese Materia Medica. It is the dried ripe fruit of Arctium lappa L. (family Asteraceae) and was included in the Chinese pharmacopoeia for its traditional therapeutic actions. Meanwhile it has been utilized extensively in a number of classical drug formulas as a major component for the treatment of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It has also been reported recently that the clinical use of Fructus Arctii resulted in a satisfactory hypoglycemic effect in diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to investigate hypoglycemic activity of total lignans from Fructus Arctii (TLFA) in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats, a spontaneous type 2 diabetic animal model, and the mechanism of its hypoglycemic activity.

METHODS

Male GK rats and normal Wistar rats were used in this study, GK rats fed twice daily were given TLFA (300 mg/kg) or nateglinide (50mg/kg) orally before each meal for 12 weeks. Besides common evaluation indexes of hypoglycemic activity such as blood glucose level, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), glycated hemoglobin, as well as lipid metabolism parameters such as cholesterol (CHOL), triglycerides (TG), et al., in rat serum. The effects of TLFA on insulin secretion and pancreas tissue sections, the levels of serum glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of TLFA in vitro were investigated.

RESULTS

TLFA demonstrated stable and long-lasting hypoglycemic activity in GK rats and showed significant improvement in glucose tolerance in glucose fed hyperglycemic GK rats. Both TLFA and nateglinide controlled the glycosylated hemoglobin levels of the experimental animals very well. Stimulation of insulin secretion was proved to be one of the hypoglycemic mechanism of TLFA, promoting the release of GLP-1 should be another one, and ɑ-glucosidase inhibitory activity of TLFA also contributes to its hypoglycemic activity. In this study, we didn't found that TLFA could effect the body weight of GK rats, which was also verified by the changes of biochemical parameters of blood in experimental rats.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this study indicates that TLFA has significant hypoglycemic potential in GK rats, and it may be acting through stimulating insulin secretion, promoting the release of GLP-1, and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose.
