This study was carried out to investigate the optimal mixed extract with Acanthopanax Chiisanensis Nakai in order to strengthen anti-diabetic effects on the hyperglycemia induced by streptozotocin in mice. The original Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen filtered and refined. The effects of Acanthopanax Chiisanensis Nakai with Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen were administered to mice for 4weeks and its anti-diabetic effect examined. Mice used in this experiment were divided into two groups and distrilled water(control), Acanthopanax Chiisanensis Nakai mixed with refined Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen(AC+BCL.D) were given orally for 28days respectively. And then, experimental groups were observed in terms of blood sugar, creatinine, BUN and GPT. The amount of glucose was significantly decreased compared with the control group(P < 0.01). The amount of creatinine was decreased compared with the control group(P < 0.05). The amount of GPT did not show any differences between two groups.
