Preventive effects of ophiopogon-polysaccharide on apiponectin in gestational diabetes mellitus rat.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ophiopogon-polysaccharide on adiponectin (APN) in gestational diabetic mellitus rat.

METHODS: The model of gestational diabetes mellitus rat were established with streptozotocin by intraperitoneal injection. Model rats were randomly divided into ophiopogon-polysaccharide 125 mg/kg group, 250 mg/kg group, 500 mg/kg group, GDM group and normal pregnancy group (n=10). Ophiopogon-polysaccharide was given by intragastric administration for 14 days. The fasting blood glucose levels of rats at the 0, 7, 14 day were detected respectively. The serum insulin level and APN in fat tissue and placenta were detected at the 14 day.

RESULTS: The fasting blood glucose level, serum insulin level and APN mRNA in fat tissue and placenta were significantly decreased in gestational diabetes rats treated by ophiopogon-polysaccharide compared with model group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: Ophiopogon-polysaccharide could decrease the fasting blood glucose level and serum insulin level, and improve APN mRNA in fat tissue and placenta.
