RESUMO
The effect of diet with various fatty acid composition on insulin resistance in male OLETF ratswas observed. The results showed that it was beneficial to insulin sensitivity in rats fed with ? 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid rich food.
RESUMO
To investigate the effect of pancreatic elastase on diabetic nephropathy,104 cases of type Ⅱ diabetic patients were selected as control group and group treated with elastase separately for a course of 6 months.The results showed that pancreatic elastase reduced microproteinuria significantly,especially mi- croalbuminuria and microtransfer rrinuria which reflect the glomerular filtration rate.It was concluded that elastase could improve early diabetic nephropathy and might have some protective effect as well.At the same time,elastase had some good effect on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum nitric oxide (NO) and bone metabolism in streptozotocin induced early diabetic (STZ DM) rats. Methods Twenty SD rats were divided into 2 groups, 12 STZ DM rats and 8 controls. Fasting blood glucose, HbA 1c , serum insulin, bone mineral density (BMD) (whole body, lumbar and femoral bone), bone metabolic parameters 〔such as serum calcium, vitamin D 3, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin, osteocalcin, and urinary pyridinoline/creatinine〕, as well as serum NO were measured. Results Compared with the controls, serum NO in STZ DM group significantly elevated 〔(51.3?11.9 vs 38.1?12.0)?mol/L, P
RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the influence of high-fat diet on glucose metabolism and fatty acid composition of serum phospholipid in OLETF rats, a model of spontaneous type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: Twenty male OLETF rats of 14 w age were divided into 2 groups randomly. The dietary fat in two groups contained identical percentages of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Oral glucose tolerance test and measurement of insulin level were performed after 10 w treatment. The fatty acid composition of serum phospholipid in rats was observed as well. Results:The food intakes were comparable in 2 groups. The body weight gain in high-fat group was higher than standard group during the experiment. The result of oral glucose tolerance test and measurement of insulin level showed that the glucose metabolism in two groups had no significant difference. Only the percentage of total n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, 18:3(n-3) of serum phospholipid were comparable, percentages of other fatty acids were significantly different in two groups. Conclusion:With the comparable fatty acid composition, higher dietary fat lead to more body weight gain, but had no significant influence on glucose metabolism in OLETF rats. The amount of dietary fat had significant effect on fatty acids composition of serum phospholipid in OLETF rats.
