OBJECTIVE
To observe the effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on anti-hyperglycemic, anti-obese and prevention from kidney pathological changes in a type 2 diabetic KK-Ay gene mice model.
METHODS
All animals were divided into 4 groups: Normal control group (C57BL/6J mice) were treated by NS 10 mL/kg, KK-Ay mice were subdivided into 3 groups as DM administrated NS 10 mL/kg, PNS 50 mg/kg, PNS 200 mg/kg respectively. All the animals received daily intraperitoneal injections for 30 days consecutively. All of these following items were determined as the effect of PNS: fasting plasma glucose levels (FPG), intraperitoneal glucose tolerance, body weight, food intake, insulin resistance index (IRI), serum insulin, triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (CH) levels and contribution of glomerulus injury.
RESULTS
On the 12th, 22nd and 30th day, PNS-treated group had significantly lower FPG and low body weight incremental percentage. After a 12-day treatment, glucose tolerance was significantly improved. On the 30th day the serum IRI and TG levels of PNS-treated group decreased significantly, and the development of the mice glomerular lesions was prevented significantly. All of these showed a dose-effect relationship.
CONCLUSIONS
PNS has the effects of anti-diabetes, anti-obese and prevention from kidney pathological changes in type 2 diabetic KK-Ay mice.
