摘　　要：Objective:To investigate the protective role of Cardiospermum halicacabum(C.halicacabum) leaf extract on glycoprotein metabolism in streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats.Methods: Diabetes was induced in male albino Wistar rats by intraperitonial administration of STZ.The C.halicacabum leaf extract(CHE) was administered orally to normal and STZ-diabetic rats for 45 days.The effects of C.halicacabum leaf extract(CHE) on plasma and tissue glycoproteins (hexose,hexosamine,fucose and sialic acid) were determined.Results:The levels of plasma and tissues glycoproteins containing hexose,hexosamine and fucose were significantly increased in STZ-induced diabetic rats.In addition,the level of sialic acid significantly increased in plasma and liver while decreased in kidney of STZ-induced diabetic rats.After administration of CHE to diabetic rats,the metabolic alteration of glycoprotein reverted towards normal levels. Conclusions:The present study indicates that the CHE possesses a protective effect on abnormal glycoprotein metabolism in addition to its antihyperglycemic activity.Objective:To investigate the protective role of Cardiospermum halicacabum(C.halicacabum) leaf extract on glycoprotein metabolism in streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats.Methods: Diabetes was induced in male albino Wistar rats by intraperitonial administration of STZ.The C.halicacabum leaf extract(CHE) was administered orally to normal and STZ-diabetic rats for 45 days.The effects of C.halicacabum leaf extract(CHE) on plasma and tissue glycoproteins (hexose,hexosamine,fucose and sialic acid) were determined.Results:The levels of plasma and tissues glycoproteins containing hexose,hexosamine and fucose were significantly increased in STZ-induced diabetic rats.In addition,the level of sialic acid significantly increased in plasma and liver while decreased in kidney of STZ-induced diabetic rats.After administration of CHE to diabetic rats,the metabolic alteration of glycoprotein reverted towards normal levels.
