RESUMO
To investigate the protective effects and possible mechanism of pomegranate flowers polyphenols (PFP) on liver function of rats with diabetes combining non-alcoholic fat liver diseases, diabetes combining nonalcoholic fat liver disease model rats were established with high calorie feeding and small dose intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Model rats were randomly divided into: model group, metformin group, pomegranate flowers polyphenols low, medium and high dose group (75, 150 and 300 mg x kg(-1)). After four weeks treatment, the levels of FPG, blood fat profiles and serum insulin, ALT, AST levels, SOD and MDA in the liver and serum separately were analyzed with biochemical methods. Paraoxonase (PON1 and PON3) mRNA and protein expression in liver were checked by RT-PCR and immunohistochemical method. Pathological changes of the liver were observed. FPG, IRI, non-HDL-C and transaminase significantly reduced and HDL-C raised in the each PFP dose group; Furthermore, compared with model group, fat drops in liver cells significantly reduced, antioxidant ability enhanced, PON1 mRNA and protein expression level in liver increased significantly. The protective effects of PFP against diabetes combining non-alcoholic fat liver diseases rats might through the increase liver PON1 mRNA and protein expression further enhanced the body antioxidant capacity and reduced IRI so as to ameliorate the rat hepatic steatosis.

Protective effects of two different extracts of TSCA (total saponins from Cicer arietinum) were studied on kidney of T2DM rats. The diabetic model group was established with high calorie feeding and small dose injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 45 mg x kg(-1)). DM rats were randomly assigned to model group (feed with propylene glycol 1 mL/100 g), TSCA high dose group (300 mg x kg(-1)), TSCA low dose group (100 mg x kg(-1)) and normal control group (feed with propylene glycol 1 mL/100 g). After four weeks treatment with TSCA I and II, the levels of FPG FIns, BUN, Scr, ATII, ET-1, TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1alpha in blood and the activities of SOD, GSH-PX and MDA in kidney were analyzed by biochemical methods. After four weeks treatment with TSCA II, the levels of FPG FIns, BUN, Scr, ATII and ET-1 were reduced significantly; and the ratios of TXB2 to 6-keto-PGF1alpha and SOD were effectively alleviated in TSCA II group. While there is no significant change on FPG and BUN in comparison to the rats treated with TSCA I, Scr, ATII, ET-I, GSH-PX and SOD were alleviated. The results suggest that TSCA II could be used to reduce FPG and FIns. According to the result of vasoactive substances index, TSCA II is more effective than TSCA I on renal protection of DM rats.
