The effect of ginsenoside-Rb2 on nitrogen balance.

In diabetic rats given ginsenoside-Rb2 for 6 days, nitrogen balance was studied. Ginsenoside-Rb2 was found to suppress the total urinary excretion of nitrogen, increase nitrogen retention in the body, and thereby improve nitrogen balance.

Facilitation of protein biosynthesis by ginsenoside-Rb2 administration in diabetic rats.

In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats given 10 mg/day of ginsenoside-Rb2 for 3 days, there was no significant increase in the serum protein and albumin levels, whereas a significant increase in these parameters was found in rats given the ginsenoside-Rb2 for 6 days. When the state of protein biosynthesis was determined using [14C] leucine, significantly activated protein biosynthesis was found in rats given ginsenoside-Rb2 for 3 days, indicating the presence of an activated state of protein biosynthesis prior to the evident quantitative increase.

Antihyperlipidemic effect of flavonoids from Prunus davidiana.

Blood lipid levels in rats with hyperlipidemia resulting from high-fat feeding were determined after ip administration of an MeOH extract of Prunus davidiana stems and its flavonoid components, (+)-catechin, prunin (= naringenin 7-O-glucoside), and hesperetin 5-O-glucoside. Administration of the MeOH extract for 3 days produced a significant decrease of blood triglyceride and total cholesterol, and the atherogenic index was also improved. (+)-Catechin was shown to be effective in reducing the elevated level of triglyceride. Prunin and hesperetin 5-O-glucoside did not show such an effect in high-fat-fed hypertriglyceridemic rats, but they did exhibit a significant hypocholesterolemic effect.
