Abstract
Objective To observe the Cordyceps extract on experimental rats with diabetic kidney and to explore its mechanism of action.Methods The rat models of diabetic were established by intraperitoneal injecting streptozotocin.Kidney weight and the index of kidney were measured,and 1,4,7weeks blood sugar,serum creatinine,urine microalbumin and urea were dynamically observed for evaluating Cordyceps extract on experimental rats with diabetic kidney.Results The 1,4,and 7 weeks of kidney weight was (0.662± 0.062) g,(0.670±0.061) g,(0.657±0.063) g,renal index was (0.312±0.041) ％,(0.309±0.402) ％,(0.311 ±0.0317) ％,serum creatinine was (0.51±0.03)mg/d1,(0.57±0.03)mg/d1,(0.52±0.02)mg/d1,albumin was (1.77±0.17)mg/24 h,(1.52±0.19)mg/24 h,(1.56±0.11)mg/24 h.urea was (90.71 ±0.37)mmol/L,(91.57±0.48) mmol/L,(90.56±0.39)mmol/L in the normal control group respectively.While in the model group,the value of kidney weight was (0.879±0.037)g,(0.912±0.038)g,(0.871±0.393)g,renal index was (0.494±0.039)％,(0.487±0.038)％,(0.465±0.235)％,serum creatinine was (3.71 ±0.14) mg/d1,(3.51±0.12) mg/d1,(3.32±0.11)mg/d1,urinary albumin was (7.29±0.22)mg/24 h,(7.11±0.34)mg/24 h,(7.14±0.21)mg/24 h.urea was (109.59± 8.42),(92.52±2.41),(90.71 ±0.67) respectively.Compared with the normal control group these values were decreased significantly in the model group (P＜0.05).In the Cordyceps sinensis group kidney weight was (0.837±0.036)g,(0.747±0.029)g,(0.694±0.357)g,renal index was (0.412±0.024)％,(0.395±0.037)％,(0.361±0.027)％,serum creatinine was (1.44±0.11)mg/d1,(0.81± 0.04) mg/d1,(0.62±0.03) mg/d1,urinaryalbumin was (5.71±0.25)mg,(4.52±0.21)mg,(3.96±0.15)mg,urea was (109.59± 8.42) mmol/L,(92.52±2.41) mmol/L,(90.71 ± 0.67) mmol/L respectively.Compared with the model group these values were decreased significantly(P＜0.05) in the Cordyceps sinensis group.Conclusion Cordyceps sinensis extract has a protective effect on kidney of diabetic rats.
