Objective To explore the effect of coixan on nitric oxygen synthase (iNOS) gene expression of diabetic vascular complication model on rat aorta. Methods The rats of experimental diabetic vascular complication were yielded by i.p. streptozotocin (75 mg/kg) and feeding high calorie foods. The alterations of iNOS gene expression were assayed by RT-PCR. Results After 6 months of i.p. streptozotocin
the iNOS gene expression on rat aorta enhanced obviously. Compared with normal group
coixan i.p. group or aminoguanidine group and the model control group showed significant difference (P0.01). Conclusion The anti-diabetes effect of coixan may be relevant to its down-regulation of iNOS mRNA gene expression.
