The hypoglycemic effect of the aqueous extract ofAbroma augusta (Family: Steculiceae) was studied in normal as well as alloxan diabetic rats. Treatement of diabetic rats with 4 ml (4gm dry weight) of agueous extract ofA. augusta for 16 weeks resulted in gradual but significant fall in fasting blood glucose and improvement in glucose tolerance. Serum total and LDL cholesterol and triacylglycerol which increased in diabetic rats showed improvement. These results show that the water extract ofA. augusta has both hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effects.
研究了昂天莲(梧桐科)水提取物对正常及四氧嘧啶诱导的糖尿病大鼠的降血糖作用。用4毫升(4克干重)昂天莲水提取物对糖尿病大鼠进行16周的治疗,导致空腹血糖逐渐但显著下降,葡萄糖耐量得到改善。糖尿病大鼠中升高的血清总胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇和三酰甘油均有所改善。这些结果表明,昂天莲水提取物具有降血糖和降胆固醇作用。
