Abstract:
A rat model of alloxan-induced diabetes was intragastrically administered with Pueraria lobata for 35 days. And the blood sugar and weight of the rats were detected once a week. After the intragastrical administration, the rats were killed and their kidneys and pancreas were sliced up for further investigation. Results showed that the Pueraria lobata extract had relative low capability of reducing the blood sugar, while could improve the constitution of the rats. Besides, the Pueraria lobata extract showed better curative effect of kidney complications of the diabetes rats and could repair the alloxan-destructed pancreas islet cells.
