Protective Effect of Galega offcinalis Extract on Streptozotocin-Induced Kidney Damage and Biochemical Factor in Diabetic Rats

خلاصه انگلیسی

Objective: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is impairing secretion of insulin or resistance to insulin. Herbal medicine plays an important role in the management of DM. We aimed to test antidiabetic effects of Galega offcinalis on diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=7). Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) (50 mg/kg). Diabetic rats were calcifed into a diabetic control group (DC), DHEG group (50 mg/ kg hydroalcoholic extract of G. offcinalis), DG group (5 mg/kg glibenclamide). After 20 days, rats’ blood samples, kidney, liver, and pancreas were kept in -70°C to test blood levels of glucose, insulin, lipid profle, some oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzymes. Results: The fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels in the normal, DHEG, and DG groups were signifcantly lower than the DC group (P<0.05); The levels of insulin in the DC, DHEG, and DG groups were signifcantly lower than the normal group (P<0.05); The serum level of urea and creatinine was signifcantly increased in DC group and signifcantly decreased in other group (P<0.05). Diabetes causes degenerative damages in rats kidney and treatment with G. offcinalis extract protected kidney tissue against diabetes-induced damages. Conclusion: The results of the present study indicated that G. offcinalis could be benefcial for the treatment of diabetes through improving tissue sensitivity to insulin and preventing tissue damages.
