Study on the Hypoglycemic Activity of Stachyose Chromium Complex in Silkworm Diabetes Model
Objective:To study the hypoglycemic activity of stachyose chromium complex in silkworm diabetic model.Method:In the condition of low temperature(15~20℃),the model of diabetes(hyperglycemia)of silkworm was established by high sugar feeding.The model was divided into blank group,high glucose group,chromium chloride control group,stachyose group,stachyose chromium complex low,medium and high dose group.By spraying the medicine solution on mulberry leaves,then feeding each model group,measuring and analyzing the changes of blood sugar of silkworm.Results:In the blank group,the blood glucose level of silkworm was relatively low and stable.The blood glucose level of silkworm in the high glucose group increased rapidly and maintained high levels.In stachyose chromium complex group,stachyose group and chromium chloride control group,the blood glucose of silkworm decreased after the rapid rise.Moreover,the hypoglycemic effect of stachyose chromium complex group was more stable than that of stachyose group and chromium chloride group.Conclusion:These results indicated that stachyose chromium complex had hypoglycemic effect on diabetic silkworms,and could provide reference for the study of organic chromium as adjunctive medicine.
