Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study the potential therapeutic properties of water-alcohol extracts of bilberry, blueberries, cowberries, cranberries, on the model of experimental streptozotocin diabetes mellitus. Research material and methods. Wild bilberry, cowberries, cranberries and blueberries collected in the summer and autumn of 2018 in the Surgut district of the Khanty-Mansiysk district of the Tyumen region of the Russian Federation were used to obtain polyphenolic water-alcohol extracts of Northern berries. The extracts were concentrated in a vacuum evaporator to the level of polyphenols in 10 mg / ml. the Rats were injected with polyphenol extracts at the rate of 10 mg / kg (the input volume of 0.2-0.3 ml). Results. The concentration of polyphenols in the samples was studied using a commercial set for determining the concentration of polyphenols «Polyphenols folin-ciocalteu (ENOLOGY line by BioSytems. Spain)», in accordance with the instructions of the reagent manufacturer. The results were expressed in the equivalent of Gallic acid, i.e. mg of Gallic acid/ml of berry extract (mgGAE /ml Conclusion. A model of type II diabetes mellitus obtained in rats with streptozotocin was used to study the effect of extracts of wild bilberry, cowberries, cranberries and blueberries in North-Western Siberia on the level of glycemia and insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, the level of expression of CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α in the liver and adipose tissue of rats, and histopathological changes in pancreatic tissue were also established. Determined that extracts of bilberry, cowberries, cranberries and blueberry on the model of diabetes reduces the severity of insulin resistance such as Metformin, lower blood glucose levels (except lingonberry extract), reduce the concentration of triglycerides (except cowberries extract), reduces the concentration of LDL (except cranberries and cowberries). The use of blueberry extract on the background of diabetes reduces the expression of inflammatory cytokine genes IL-6, TNF-α and CRP. At the same time, extracts of Northern berries in the blood plasma prevent excessive release of free radicals and increase antioxidant activity. Pathomorphological studies of pancreatic tissue document a lower degree of damage to the Langerhans islets against the background of the introduction of Northern berry extracts.
