[Studies on hypoglycemic effect of xuetangping]

Abstract

Effects of xuetangping (XTP) on serum sugar liver glycongen in diabetic rats induced by alloxan were studied. The result showed that XTP (1.5 g/kg qd 14 d) lowered serum sugar near normal level in diabetic rats. While at 14d, XTP also increased the content of liver glycogen in diabetic rats and reduced the mortality of it XTP (0.75 g/kg ig qd 7d) prevented the alloxan induced elevation of serum sugar level in rats.
