The feeding of powdered leaves of Gymnema sylvestre in the diet of rats for 10 days prior and 15 days after i.v. beryllium nitrate significantly protected the animals from the full fall of blood glucose seen in rats receiving beryllium nitrate alone. The feeding of the leaves for 25 days to normal rats did not alter blood glucose significantly. The leaves may contain a principle that could be useful as a prophylactic against beryllium toxicity.
在静脉注射硝酸铍之前10天及之后15天，在大鼠饮食中添加匙羹藤粉末状叶子，可显著保护动物，使其不会出现如单独接受硝酸铍的大鼠那样血糖完全下降的情况。给正常大鼠喂食该叶子25天，血糖没有明显变化。这些叶子可能含有一种成分，可作为预防铍中毒的药物。
