Abstract
Chuju is a special Chinese flower tea with extensive health benefits. In this study, we have examined the effects of crude Chuju polysaccharides on alloxan-induced diabetic mice by measuring fasting blood glucose, insulin-related index, activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and content of malondialdehyde in the serum and liver. The results show that the treatment led to increased insulin sensitivity and decreased fasting glucose. The blood and liver levels of malondialdehyde decreased, whereas superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase levels were elevated by crude Chuju polysaccharides in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. These data support a basis for clinical investigations on crude Chuju polysaccharides in diabetic human subjects.
