After anesthesia, the left coronary artery was occluded for 40 min followed by 80 min reperfusion. Blood glucose level was measured during surgery. Rats were randomized into six groups as follows:(1) control rats;(2) insulin(0.1 U/kg) treated rats prior to ischemia;(3) insulin(0.1 U/kg) treated rats at reperfusion;(4) GLP-1 a(140 mg/kg) treated rats prior to ischemia;(5) GLP-1 a(140 mg/kg) treated rats at reperfusion; and(6) rats treated with GLP-1 a(140 mg/kg) prior to ischemia plus insulin(0.1 U/kg) at reperfusion. Myocardial area at risk and infarct size was measured planimetrically using Evans blue and triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, respectively.RESULTS There was no significant difference in the myocardial area at risk among groups. Insulin treatment before ischemia resulted in a significant increase in infarct size(34.7% ± 3.4% vs 18.6% ± 3.1% in the control rats, P < 0.05). Post-ischemic administration of insulin or GLP-1 a had no effect on infarct size. However, pre-ischemic administration of GLP-1 a reduced infarct size to 12% ± 2.2%(P < 0.05). The maximal infarct size reduction was observed in the group treated with GLP-1 a prior to ischemia and insulin at reperfusion(8% ± 1.6%, P < 0.05 vs the control and GLP-1 a alone treated groups).CONCLUSION GLP-1 a pre-administration results in myocardial infarct size reduction in rats with T2 DM. These effects are maximal in rats treated with GLP-1 a pre-ischemia plus insulin at reperfusion.展开更多

METHODS:Male Wistar rats were used for the experiments. Diabetes mellitus was induced by administering 60mg/kg body mass of STZ intraperitoneally(i.p.),then,on d 8, pancreatitis was induced by 200mg/100 g body mass Arg i.p.twice at an interval of 1 h.The animals were injected subcutaneously twice daily(at 7 a.m.and 7 p.m.)with 1 μg/kg of CCK-8 and/or 2 IU mixed insulin(300g/L short- action and 700g/L intermediate-action insulin) for 14 d after pancreatitis induction.Following this the animals were killed and the serum amylase,glucose and insulin levels as well as the plasma glucagon levels,the pancreatic mass/body mass ratio(pm/bm),the pancreatic contents of DNA,protein,amylase,lipase and trypsinogen were measured.Pancreatic tissue samples were examined by light microscopy on paraffin-embedded sections. RESULTS:In the diabetic-pancreatitic rats treatment with insulin and CCK-8 significantly elevated pw/bm and the pancreatic contents of protein,amylase and lipase vs the rats receiving only CCK-8 treatment.CCK-8 administered in combination with insulin also elevated the number of acinar cells with mitotic activities,whereas CCK-8 alone had no effect on laboratory parameters or the mitotic activities in diabetic-pancreatitic rats. CONCLUSION:Despite the hypertrophic effect of CCK-8 being absent following acute pancreatitis in diabetic-rats, the simultaneous administration of exogenous insulin restored this effect.Our results clearly demonstrate that insulin is necessary for the hypertrophic effect of low-doses of CCK-8 following acute pancreatitis.展开更多

It is found that acupuncture at Weiwanxiashu point can significantly lower the BG content and inhibit release of PG; no significant changes in BG and PG are found when acupuncture is given at Zusanli (ST 36) point alone, however BG and PG contents decrease more obviously when acupuncture employed at both Zusanli and Weiwanxiashu, suggesting that Zusanli has a marked synergetic action with Weiwanxiashu.展开更多
