32. A study on the hypoglycemic action of RA liquid extract in type 2 diabetic mice
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this was to investigate the hypoglycemic action of RA liquid extract. Arachis hypoge linn extract is the main ingredient of RA, a product of the Military Institute of Traditional Medicine. This research included 2 stages: In the first stage, diabetes mellitus type 2 condition was induced in mice by a high fat diet and alloxan for 10 weeks; in the second stage, RA were administered orally to mice at 12 g/kg/day and 24 g/kg/day for 2 weeks. The results showed that both RA doses at 12 g/kg/day and 24 g/kg/day decreased the concentration of glucose, LDL-C, cholesterol and increased the HDL-C level in blood with improved micro-histological images on diabetes mellitus type 2 mice. These results accentuate that RA could be a potential agent for supporting the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
