Methods: The model of rats withNIDDM was formed with injection of streptozotocin and fed on high calorie diet to study the effects of STHCQDon the release of insulin sensitivity. Results: (l ) Fasting serum glucose, serum insulin, intake of food and waterwere significantly decreased (P < 0. 05 -- 0. 01 ) in STHCQD-treated diabetic rats as compared with untreated diabetic rats, while the insulin sensitivity was significantly increased (P < 0. 05 ). (2) The liver cell membranesfrom STHCQD-treated diabetic rats released the quantity of insulin receptor which inhibited adenylate cyclaseactivity, but this effect was blunted in untreated diabetic rats (P < 0. 05). (3) A significantly increased glucoseoxidation in adipocyte of STHCQD-treated diabetic rats was found as compared with those of untreated diabeticrats (P< 0. 05). Conclusions: STHCQD therapy Increased sensitivity and responsiveness of target cells to insulin, i. e. it might decrease insulin resistance at receptor sites and POst--receptor sites in rats with NIDDM, butcould not.reverse the insulin resistance.展开更多
