简介:目的观察马齿苋及其不同提取部位对改善2型糖尿病大鼠胰岛素抵抗糖脂代谢紊乱的影响。方法应用小剂量链脲佐菌素加高热量饲养的方法建立实验性2型糖尿病大鼠模型,随机分为模型组、马齿苋组、马齿苋MH部位组、马齿苋MS部位组及多烯康对照组,并设正常对照组,各组大鼠相应地给与灌胃治疗12周;检测各组糖代谢及脂代谢血生化指标。结果糖代谢方面,马齿苋组能明显改善实验性2型糖尿病大鼠糖耐量异常,FINS明显低于模型组,相应地ISI显著提高;马齿苋MH部位具有改善实验性2型糖尿病大鼠糖耐量异常的趋势,FINS水平有所下降,ISI有所增加,与模型组比较接近统计学意义;而马齿苋MS部位对2型糖尿病大鼠糖耐量异常影响不大,改善胰岛素作用不明显。脂代谢方面,马齿苋组与模型组比较,显著升高血清HDL-C水平,同时降低血清TC、TG和FFA水平。马齿苋MH部位与模型组比较,显著降低血清TG水平,同时降低血清TC和FFA水平,但升高血清HDL-C水平不明显。马齿苋MS部位与模型组比较,显著降低血清FFA水平,降低血清TG接近统计学意义,但对血清TC和HDL-C水平无明显影响。结论马齿苋能明显改善2型糖尿病大鼠胰岛素抵抗糖代谢异常。马齿苋MH部位具有改善糖代谢的趋势,而马齿苋MS部位对糖代谢的影响不明显。马齿苋及其马齿苋MH部位、马齿苋MS部位对2型糖尿病大鼠胰岛素抵抗脂代谢异常均有明显的改善作用,但其侧重点各有不同,可能与其作用环节和机制不同有关。

简介:目的通过观察左归丸含药血清对成骨细胞白细胞介素-1(IL-1)、白细胞介素.6(IL-6)和环加氧酶-2(COX-2)表达的影响,探讨其治疗骨质疏松症的作用机制。方法体外分离、培养成骨细胞,实验分为3组:正常血清组、卵巢切除(OVX)血清组和OVX含药血清组。采用免疫组化法,检测成骨细胞IL-1、IL-6和COX-2的表达。结果OVX血清组成骨细胞IL-1、IL-6和COX-2的表达明显强于正常血清组,而OVX含药血清组的表达较OVX血清组明显减弱,与正常血清组比较,则无显著性差异。结论在去势状态下,左归丸可能是通过抑制成骨细胞IL-1、IL-6和前列腺素E2(PGE2)的分泌,进而达到治疗骨质疏松的作用。

简介:本文作者已有的研究结果证明,完整的人干细胞生长因子(hSCGF)没有种属特异性,即可以作用于小鼠骨髓造血细胞.这一点与在Ca2+依赖糖识别结构域(CRD)缺失了78个氨基酸残基的截短分子(hSCGFβ)有所不同.本研究从hSCGF全长cDNA中完全删除了CRD结构域编码序列,进一步探讨CRD结构域的生物学功能.由于该突变体序列GC含量较高,因此将该缺失突变体序列克隆在GST融合表达载体中进行融合表达.通过低温(28℃)诱导,表达产物主要以可溶蛋白的形式存在.利用亲和层析纯化CRD结构域完全缺失的hSCGF突变体融合蛋白,通过检测重组突变分子的协同刺激造血活性有无改变来初步探讨CRD结构域在hSCGF分子中的生物学功能.研究结果表明,去掉完整CRD结构域的突变分子仍然具有造血刺激活性.据此推断CRD结构域在hSCGF分子中可能对于受体配体结合起辅助作用.
