EVALUATION OF ANTI-DIABETIC
POTENTIAL OF TEST FORMULATION(S) IN HIGH-FAT DIET/STREPTOZOTOCIN INDUCED
TYPE II DIABETES IN EXPERIMENTAL RATS.
1.0 INTRODUCTION:
Diabetes is characterized by increased blood
glucose (BG), metabolic disturbances, and alteration in insulin secretion. This
insulin-deficient action is due to a shortage of insulin secretion (type 1
diabetes) and/or a decline in cell response toward insulin (type 2 diabetes). Symptoms of hyperglycemia include polyuria,
polydipsia, polyphagia, weight loss, ketonemia, and ketonuria. Thus diabetes
causes cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, neuropathy, and other long-term
complications in uncontrolled conditions.

*The doses and ROA (Routes of administration)
will be decided based on the type of reference drug
4.0 METHOD:
·
Type II diabetes will be
induced by high fat diet (HFD) and low-dose of streptozotocin (STZ) treatment.
· After acclimatization period,
normal rats will be maintained on normal pellet diet while remaining will given
high fat diet for 3 weeks to induce obesity.
·
After 3 weeks, the overnight
fasted rats will be treated by streptozotocin at a dose of 30 mpk; i.p.
·
After 10 days of STZ
injection, fasting blood glucose ~200 mg/dL will be considered diabetic and
include in the study.
·
The diabetic animals will be
allowed free access to water, HFD (till the end of study) and will be
maintained at room temperature in plastic cages.
·
Diabetic animals will be
randomized based on the blood glucose level into seven groups of 8 animals
each.
·
Group G1 and G2 animals will
be treated as normal control (without diabetes) and diabetic control
respectively.
·
Groups G1 and G2 will be
administered with normal saline or 0.25% Na- CMC respectively.
·
Animals of Group G3 will be
treated as reference control and administered Glibenclamide at the dose of 10
mg/kg; p.o.
·
Similarly, animals of group G4
to G7 will be administered with test formulation(s) at different doses.
·
All the treatments will be
carried out for a period of 21 or 28 days.
·
Body weight of the animals
will be recorded every week.
·
The fasting blood samples will
be collected on day 0 (before treatment) 7, 14, 21 and 28 to determine the
glucose level.
·
At the end of the experiment,
blood will be collected by snip-cut at the tip of the tail under mild
anesthesia and serum will be separated by centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 10
min.
·
Serum samples will be
processed for biochemical estimation.
·
Animals will be humanely
sacrificed; pancreas will be isolated, weighed and processed for
histopathological analysis.
