Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen from different production process on blood sugar of the diabetic mice induced with Streptozotocin(STZ). The original Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen filtered and refined. Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen D(H-BCL.D) extracted at high temperature(1000℃), Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen A(L-BCL.A) and Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen B(L-BCL.B) extracted at low temperature (250～450℃) were administerd to mice for 4weeks and its anti-diabetic effect examined. Mice used in this experiment were divided into four groups(Control, H-BCL.D, L-BCL.A and L-BCL.B). Experemental groups were observed in terms of blood sugar, Creatinine, BUN and GPT. The amount of glucose was significantly decreased in the Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen-treated groups compared with the control(P < 0.05). The amount of Creatinine did not show any differences among four groups. The amount of Blood Urea Nitrogen did not show any differences in the L-BCL.A and B-treated groups, but did show slightly decrease(P<0.05) at H-BCL.D-treated group. The amount of GPT did not show any differences among four groups. In conclusion, it was found that Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen from extracted at high or low temperature were effective on murine hyperglycemia mice induced with STZ respectively.
