Rattan tea extracts improve insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes rats
Objective To determine the effects of Rattan tea on insulin resistance in rats of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and investigate the possible underlying molecular mechanism. Methods Male SD rats (SPF) fed with high-fat diet and injected with small dose of streptozotocin (STZ) were used to establish type 2 diabetic rat model. Then
T2DM rats were randomly divided into diabetic model group (DIA)
metformin 125 mg/kg group (MET)
dihydromyricetin 100 mg/kg group (DHM)
Rattan tea extracts 50 mg/kg group (R50)
Rattan tea extracts 100 mg/kg group (R100) and Rattan tea extracts 200 mg/kg group (R200). After 4 weeks' intervention
the serum levels of insulin and insulin C-peptide
and the protein expression of p-Akt
FGF21 and p-AMPK were detected by Western blotting
as well as the mRNA expression of FGF21 in liver tissues were measured by real-time RT-PCR. Results Compared with DIA group
the levels of blood glucose
insulin and HOMA-IR were decreased significantly
meanwhile
the serum level of insulin C-peptide was increased significantly
the protein expression of p-Akt
FGF21
p-AMPK and FGF21 was up-regulated in liver tissues
as well as mRNA expression of FGF21 (P0.05). Conclusion Rattan tea improves insulin resistance in diabetic rats via up-regulating the expression of p-Akt
