has been used to treat diabetes traditionally. There was no in vivo study to support the claim. This study aimed to confirm anti-diabetic activity of 80% methanol in water extract and solvent fractions of leaves in mice.
leaves were macerated and extracted in 80% methanol in water. Hydro-methanol extract of leaves were tested in mice models. Overnight fasted mice were randomly divided into five groups for normoglycemic and glucose-loaded models as a negative control, positive control, and three tested groups, whereas, in streptozotocin-induced diabetic models, the mice were grouped into six groups each comprised six mice: diabetic negative control and normal negative control groups treated with 10 mL/kg distilled water, diabetic positive control group treated with Glibenclamide 5 mg/kg and three diabetic tested groups treated with extract at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg doses. A one-way ANOVA was performed to analyze the data, and the post hoc Tukey's test was utilized for multiple comparisons. The P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Hydro-methanol extract of leaves at 400 mg/kg in normoglycemic mice significantly lowered blood glucose levels (BGLs) (P< 0.01). Mice with oral glucose-loaded test lowered BGLs at dosages of 200 mg/kg (P < 0.05) and 400 mg/kg (P < 0.01) respectively. Single-dose of ethyl acetate, n-hexane fractions and hydro-methanol extract at 100 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg reduced BGLs (P < 0.05, P < 0.001, and P < 0.01) respectively. BGL drops in diabetic mice given daily repeated doses of 200 mg/kg of hydro-methanol extract and 400 mg/kg of ethyl acetate fraction (P < 0.001). Diabetic mice gained weight at a 400 mg/kg hydro-methanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01) respectively. Hydro-methanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction and at 200 mg/kg decreased total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein and increased high-density lipoprotein (P < 0.001).
80% methanol in water extract and solvent fractions of leaves showed anti-diabetic effects and significantly reduced hyperlipidemia in diabetics, this study supported the traditional usage of for treating diabetes; however, species variation could also limit such a straightforward extrapolation of the findings of this study in humans.
传统上一直被用于治疗糖尿病。但尚无体内研究支持这一说法。本研究旨在证实叶的80%甲醇水提取物及其溶剂部位在小鼠体内的抗糖尿病活性。
将叶进行浸渍并用80%甲醇水提取。叶的氢甲醇提取物在小鼠模型中进行测试。过夜禁食的小鼠被随机分为五组,用于正常血糖和葡萄糖负荷模型,分别作为阴性对照、阳性对照和三个测试组,而在链脲佐菌素诱导的糖尿病模型中,小鼠被分为六组,每组六只:糖尿病阴性对照组和正常阴性对照组用10 mL/kg蒸馏水治疗,糖尿病阳性对照组用格列本脲5 mg/kg治疗,三个糖尿病测试组分别用100、200和400 mg/kg剂量的提取物治疗。采用单因素方差分析来分析数据,并使用事后Tukey检验进行多重比较。P值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
在正常血糖小鼠中,400 mg/kg叶的氢甲醇提取物显著降低血糖水平(BGLs)(P<0.01)。口服葡萄糖负荷试验的小鼠分别在200 mg/kg(P<0.05)和400 mg/kg(P<0.01)剂量下降低了BGLs。单剂量的乙酸乙酯、正己烷部位以及100 mg/kg、400 mg/kg和200 mg/kg的氢甲醇提取物分别降低了BGLs(P<0.05、P<0.001和P<0.01)。每天重复给予200 mg/kg氢甲醇提取物和400 mg/kg乙酸乙酯部位的糖尿病小鼠血糖下降(P<0.001)。糖尿病小鼠分别在400 mg/kg氢甲醇提取物和乙酸乙酯部位体重增加(P<0.05和P<0.01)。200 mg/kg的氢甲醇提取物和乙酸乙酯部位降低了总胆固醇、甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白,并增加了高密度脂蛋白(P<0.001)。
叶的80%甲醇水提取物及其溶剂部位显示出抗糖尿病作用,并显著降低糖尿病患者的高脂血症,本研究支持了传统上用于治疗糖尿病的用途;然而,物种差异也可能限制将本研究结果直接外推至人类。
