The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-diabetic efficacy of cinnamaldehyde (Cin), berberine (Ber), and metformin (Met) as well as their impacts on the RBP4-GLUT4 system. Methods Rat models of T2DM were established by combination of intraperitoneal injection of low-dose streptozotocin and high fat diet induction. Rats were divided into five groups: the control group, the diabetes group, the diabetes+Ber group, the diabetes+Cin group, and the diabetes+Met group. Western blotting was used to detect the serum or tissue RBP4 and GLUT4 protein levels. Results After treatment for four weeks, both Cin and Ber displayed significant hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, and insulin sensitizing functions (P 〈0.01) compared with the control group. Their effects on lowering fasting plasma glucose (FPG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) seem even better than that of Met. Cin and Ber markedly lowered serum RBP4 levels and up-regulated the expression of tissue GLUT4 protein, and Cin seemed more notable in affecting these two proteins. Conclusions Both Cin and Ber display an exciting anti-diabetic efficacy in this study and may be of great value for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Their mechanisms involve the RBP4-GLUT4 system, during which the serum RBP4 levels are lowered and the expression of tissue GLUT4 protein is up-regulated.展开更多

文摘目的检测正常糖调节正常体重者(NW-NGR)和正常糖调节超重/肥胖者(OW/OB-NGR)、2型糖尿病(T2DM)及其亚组2型糖尿病正常体重组(NW-T2DM)和2型糖尿病伴超重/肥胖组(OW/OB- T2DM)的血清视黄醇结合蛋白4(RBP4)水平,并探讨RBP4与体脂,糖、脂代谢,胰岛素敏感性等的相关性。方法采用HOMA-IR评价各组胰岛素敏感性,测定受试者的体重指数(BMI),腰臀比(WHR),脂肪含量(Fat%),检测空腹状态下血清RBP4,血糖,HbA_(1C)血脂和胰岛素水平。结果校正年龄、性别后,OW/OB-NGR,T2DM及OW/OB-T2DM组显著高于NW-NGR组的血清RBP4[(29.85±6.60、29.70±5.89、30.86±6.11)mg/L vs(25.47±6.84)mg/L,均P<0.05]。NW-T2DM与NW-NGR组间的血清RBP4差异无统计学意义(28.35±5.42 vs 25.47±6.84)mg/L,但显著低于OW/OB-T2DM(P<0.05)。多元逐步回归分析发现,WHR(r^2=0.166,P<0.01)、甘油三酯(r^2=0.188,p<0.01)、年龄(r^2=0.205,P<0.01)是血清RBP4的独立相关因素。结论肥胖者的血清RBP4水平显著升高;血清RBP4与WHR、甘油三酯、年龄呈正相关。
