Interventional Effects of L arabinose on the Liver Damage of Type 2 Diabetic Rats
To study the interventional effects of L arabinose on the liver damage of type 2 diabetic rats,type 2 diabetic rat models were established through the combination of the diet of high sugar fat with intravenous injection of small doses of streptozotocin(STZ).The weight and the index of the liver,the levels of fasting blood glucose(FBG),the activities of alanine transaminease(ALT) and aspartate transaminase(AST) were measured after four weeks of intragastric administration of L arabinose to observe the interventional effects of L arabinose on the liver damage of type 2 diabetic rats.The results show that L arabinose obviously improves the level of FBG,significantly decreases the activities of ALT and AST in the serum of diabetic rats.Furthermore,there is a strong positive correlation between the decreased degree and the dietary level. L arabinose can,to some extent,significantly relieve liver damage and protect the liver of diabetic rats.
