Abstract
|
|
|
To elucidate the effects of Urtica thunbergiana on streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia, U. thunbergiana extracts were administered before and after injection of streptozotocin (45mg / kg, i.p.), and blood glucose, serum triglyceride and serum cholesterol levles were determined at 4 days after streptozotocin injection.
The results were as following;
1. The blood glucose levels of streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic rats were significantly decreased by the administrations by all of the various fractions of U. thrnbergiana and methanol extracts of herb parts were showed dose-dependently.
2. The serum total cholesterol levels were decreased by the administrations by all of the various fractions of U. thunbergiana and methanol extracts and butanol extracts of herb parts were showed dose-dependently.
3. The serum triglyceride levels decreased significantly all of the various fractions of U. thunbergiana.
