Anti-hyperglycemic effect of ethanolic leaves extract,hexane and water of Urena lobata on diabetic rats induced by high fructose diets and streptozotocin

OBJECTIVE To investigate anti-hyperglycemic effect of ethanolic leaves extract,hexane and water of Urena lobata on diabetic rat induced by high fructose diets and streptozotocin.METHODS This study uses control group post test only with male spraque dawley rats.Diabetic rats was induced by high fructose diet(HFD)and single dose streptozotocin 25mg·kg-1 bw intra peritoneal.The rat was administrated orally with ethanolic leaves extract,hexane and water of U.lobatain concentrations of 500mg·kg-1 bw for 4weeks.Blood sample were collected from the tail vein at 0,15,30,60 and 120min after oral glucose administration and then blood glucose level were measured using a commercially available glucometer.The integrated area under the postprandial glucose curves(AUCs)was calculated by the trapezoidal method.Insulin serum level examined by rat insulin elisa kits.The data was analyzed using ANOVA test continued with LSD test(P<0.05).RESULTS The oral administration of ethanolic leaves extract,hexane and water of U.lobata were able to decrease glucose AUC about 40%,20% and 60% respectively compared to diabetic group(P<0.05),whereas the insulin level was increased by 2,2and 4-fold(P<0.05),respectively.In diabetic groups,glucose AUC was increased approximately 70% compared to normal group(P<0.05)while the insulin level were decreased by 14-fold(P<0.05).CONCLUSION U.lobataleaves extract could control the increase of blood glucose level after glucose administration by improve of insulin secretion.This effect may be related to active compounds that act as an anti-hyperglycemic and antioxidant in U.lobataleaves extract.

Effect of Urena lobataleaves extract on glucagon like peptide-1 serum level by inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-Ⅳ on diabetic rats

OBJECTIVE To investigate effect of Urenalobataleaves extract on glucagon like peptide-1(GLP-1)serum level by inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-Ⅳ(DPP-Ⅳ)on diabetic rat. METHODS This study uses control group post test only with male spraque dawley rats.Diabetic rats was induced by High Fructose Diet(HFD)and single dose streptozotocin 25mg·kg-1 bw intra peritoneal.The rat was administrated orally with ethanolic extract of U.lobataleaves in dose of 250,500 and 1000mg·kg-1 for 4weeks.Blood sample were collected from the tail vein at 15 min after oral glucose administration and then DPP-Ⅳserum level and GLP-1were examined using a rat elisa kits of DPP-Ⅳ and GLP-1.The data was analyzed using ANOVA test continued with LSD test(P<0.05).RESULTS The oral administration of U.lobataleaves extract at dose of 250,500 and 1000mg·kg-1 bw were able to prolong GLP-1 bioavaibility approximately 5,2and 2.5-fold respectively compared to diabetic group(P<0.05),while the DPP-Ⅳ serum level was decreased by 60%,50% and 40%(P<0.05),respectively.In diabetic groups,DPP-Ⅳ serum level was increased more and less 4-fold compared to normal group(P<0.05)while the GLP level were decreased by 8-fold(P<0.05).CONCLUSION U.lobataleaves extract could prolong GLP-1 bioavaibility by reducing of DPP-Ⅳserum level.This effect may be related to active compounds that act as an DPP-Ⅳinhibitor in U.lobata extract.
