对治疗糖尿病的传统中药中生命元素含量测定初步研究

Content Determination of Life Elements in Traditional Chinese Medicine to Cure Diabetes

利用原子吸收分光光度法对几味治疗糖尿病的常用中药进行锌、镁、铁、铜、铬、硒元素的含量测定。结果表明,实验选取的中药中与糖尿病关系密切的生命元素含量较丰富,且所测元素含量与糖尿病患者体内其含量呈负相关性。为探讨中药的作用机理、中药配制工艺提供一定的信息和理论依据,对于糖尿病患者治疗具有参考价值。

The contents of some elements such as zinc,magnesium,iron,copper,chromium,selenium in several Chinese medicines most in use to treat diabetes were determined with atomic absorption spectrophotometry.The results showed that these selected Chinese medicines for treating diabetes were rich of life elements in content that closely related to the ailment,and the determined contents of the elements assumed a negative reciprocity with those within the body of diabetes patients.These provided certain information and theoretical foundation to explore the effective mechanism and the preparation technology of Chinese medicine.It may also serve as reference for the treatment of diabetic patients.
