PAF antagonistic activity of 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid glucose ester fromGentiana scabra

In order to find out anti-platelet activating factor (PAF) from natural resources, Korean medicinal plants used for the treatments of peripheral circulation disorders were tested for their possible protective effects on PAF-induced anaphylactic shock. From the above screening, the methanol extract ofGentiana scabra showed a potent antagonistic activity against PAF. Water suspension of the extract was partitioned with CH₂Cl₂ and EtOAc, successively. The EtOAc fraction which showed the highest activity was chromatographed on silica gel to yield 6 fractions. From the fraction which showed higher PAF-antagonistic activity than the other fractions, compound1 was isolated by recrystallization. On the basis of spectral data, compound1 was identified as 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid glucose ester. The compound prevented the mice from the PAF-induced death at a dose of 300 μg/mouse.     

玉米油和猪油对大鼠血脂血糖代谢和脑脂褐质影响的比较研究

采用幼年ＳＤ雄性大鼠３０只，体重１５０±２０ｇ，随机分成三组，每组１０只：（１）基础饲料组：普通大鼠饲料；（２）猪油组：基础饲料中加入１０％猪油和１．５％胆固醇；（３）玉米油组：在基础饲料中加入１０％玉米油和１．５％胆固醇，饲养９周，比较玉米油和猪油对大鼠血脂血糖和脑脂褐质的不同影响。结果表明，玉米油组ＴＣ和ＬＤＬ－Ｃ水平较猪油组低，虽然两组均高于基础饲料组。玉米油组的ＨＤＬ－Ｃ比猪油升高不显著，但ＨＤＬ－Ｃ／ＴＣ（％）增加，同时ＬＤＬ－Ｃ／ＨＤＬ－Ｃ比值下降。基础饲料组，猪油组和玉米油组的大鼠平均血清ＴＧ分别为１.２８，１.２１和１.４５（ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ），各组之间的差别不显著。高脂饲料组动物的空腹血糖（ＳＧ）较基础饲料组高，但差别无统计学意义。三组不同饲料大鼠的脑脂褐质（ＬＰＦ）含量测定结果显示:基础饲料组大鼠的ＬＰＦ平均值１２.９Ｕ／ｇ蛋白质，而玉米油组和猪油组均明显升高，分别为２８.３和２８.８Ｕ／ｇ蛋白质。在以血脂各项指标为自常量，大脑ＬＰＦ含量为因变量的相关分析中发现，ＬＰＦ与ＴＣ和ＬＤＬ－Ｃ呈正相关，相关系数分别为０.６９１和０.５４７，Ｐ＜０.０１．     

Lipids and lipoproteins as risk factors for coronary heart disease in men with abnormal glucose tolerance: the Honolulu Heart Program

Abstract. Objectives. To evaluate lipids and lipoproteins as risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) in older men with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) or abnormal glucose tolerance compared with normoglycaemic men. Design. A prospective, population-based cohort study based on the lipoprotein examination (1970–72) of the Honolulu Heart Program. Follow-up was through to December 1988. Setting. Honolulu, Hawaii. Subjects. Japanese-American men, ages 51–72 at baseline: 2042 with 1 h glucose < 12.5 mmol l^?1 (normal group); 376 on oral hypoglycaemic agents or with 1 h glucose ≥ 12.5 mmol l^?1 after 50 g oral glucose challenge (abnormal glucose tolerance group). None had prevalent coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke at baseline. Main outcome measures. Incident CHD: definite nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) or fatal CHD. Results. There were 221 incident cases in the normal group, and 65 in the abnormal glucose tolerance group. Total and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were significant predictors of incident CHD in men with NIDDM or abnormal glucose tolerance after controlling for age, body-mass index, systolic blood pressure, pack-years of cigarettes and alcohol consumption (P < 0.05). Total, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol were significant predictors in normal men, and HDL cholesterol was of borderline significance. Conclusions. Abnormal lipids and lipoproteins are significant, independent predictors of CHD in subjects with NIDDM or abnormal glucose tolerance. Attention to lipid and lipoproteins as CHD risk factors should be part of clinical management of these patients.     

Insulin release by glucose anomers in a rat model of non-insulin-dependent diabetes

Summary The effects of the and anomers of D-glucose on insulin release were studied in a rat model of non-insulin-dependent diabetes, which was induced by streptozotocin injection at 2 days of age. Glucose tolerance of the streptozotocin-treated rats at 8–10 weeks of age was mildly diabetic. Insulin release from the isolated perfused pancreas of the diabetic rats in response to 10 mmol/l -D-glucose was markedly impaired, while insulin response to 10 mmol/l -D-glucose in the diabetic pancreas was only slightly reduced as compared to that in the control pancreas.

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停与甘油三酯葡萄糖指数的相关性

目的 探讨阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）与甘油三酯葡萄糖（TyG）指数的相关性。方法 选取2021年1月—2022年12月中南大学湘雅二医院行睡眠呼吸监测的270例OSA患者。根据甘油三酯和空腹血糖计算TyG指数,根据TyG指数的三分位数将患者分为Q1组、Q2组、Q3组,根据睡眠呼吸暂停低通气指数（AHI）将患者分为轻度组、中度组、重度组。采用多元线性分析评估TyG指数与AHI之间的关系,有序Logistic回归分析TyG指数与OSA严重程度之间的关系。结果 TyG指数越高的患者AHI、体质量指数（BMI）、总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）、空腹血糖越高,而血清高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）水平则越低（P <0.05）。TyG指数越高的患者肥胖和糖尿病、冠心病比例越高,男性比例越高,年龄更低（P <0.05）。随着患者AHI的增加,TyG指数、BMI增加,TG、空腹血糖上升,最低血氧饱和度下降（P <0.05）,OSA越严重的患者肥胖、高血压和冠心病比例越高（P <0.05）。Pearson相关性分析结果显示,TyG指数与AHI水平呈正相关（r =0.282,P <0.05）。多元线性回归分析结果显示,AHI（b =0.002）、BMI（b =0.017）、TG（b =0.361）、空腹血糖（b =0.109）和性别（b =0.083）是TyG的影响因素（P <0.05）。有序Logistic模型结果显示：轻度OSA［O^R=0.396（95% CI：0.207,0.757）］和中度OSA［O^R=0.281（95% CI：0.163,0.484）］患者的TyG等级较重度OSA低,说明OSA严重程度增加是TyG指数升高的影响因素。非肥胖患者［O^R=0.424（95% CI：0.253,0.710）］、不吸烟患者［O^R=0.506（95% CI：0.283,0.904）］、非糖尿病患者［O^R=0.268（95% CI：0.156,0.460）］、非冠心病患者［O^R=0.452（95% CI：0.253,0.807）］、女性［O^R=0.409（95% CI：0.221,0.760）］的TyG等级较低,故吸烟、肥胖、糖尿病、冠心病、男性是TyG指数升高的影响因素（P <0.05）。结论 TyG指数与OSA严重程度相关,可以考虑将TyG指数用于OSA患者胰岛素抵抗的观察,从而进行干预,使患者获益。     

Fast-induced changes in plasma glucose, insulin and free fatty acid concentration compared in rats during the night and day

Changes in PG, PI and PFFA were examined and compared in fed rats or after 0 to 12 hours of fasting, during the night or during the day. At night, a progressive decrease in PG and PI and an increase in PFFA were induced by 0 to 12 hours of food deprivation. During the light period a decrease in PG occurred only from the 6th hour of fasting. A slight, progressive increase in PFFA levels was induced from 0 to 12 hours of fasting, while no significant variation of PI levels was observed. The results are discussed in terms of relationships between blood glucose, PFFA levels, and food intake in control rats over the circadian cycle.     

Age-dependent cerebral metabolic effects of unilateral nucleus basalis magnocellularis ablation in rats

To investigate the age-dependent functional importance of cholinergic neocortical inputs, and to explore whether cortical cholinergic denervation in aged animals might better model the cerebral metabolic changes of Alzheimer's disease, the effects of unilateral ablation of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) on cerebral glucose metabolism were studied in young and aged rats. Regional cerebral metabolic rates for glucose (rCMRglc) were determined, using the [14C]deoxyglucose method, in 48 brain regions of 3- and 24-month old Fischer-344 rats at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after stereotaxic injection of ibotenate into the right NBM, and in sham-operated animals at 3 and 14 days later. For both ages the peak effect of unilateral NBM ablation occurred 3 days later: in young rats, rCMRglc was significantly reduced (compared to the contralateral side) in all 24 anterior cortical areas examined (mean decline 20%), whereas in aged animals, only 9 of 24 areas showed a significant decline in glucose utilization, and the magnitude of rCMRglc reduction (9%) was smaller. Near complete recovery of rCMRglc occurred by 7 days in young and old rats. We conclude that the basalocortical cholinergic projection plays a smaller role in neocortical function of aged rats, possibly because its tonic activity is reduced. Both young and aged rats undergo cortical metabolic normalization after unilateral NBM ablation; hence the NBM-lesioned aged rat is not a better model of the progressive decline in rCMRglc that occurs in Alzheimer's disease.
