Effects of electroacupuncture on the glucose-lipid metabolism and the expression of ZAG and GLUT4 in the femoral quadriceps and adipose tissue in the rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus
To observe the effects on the glucose-lipid metabolism and the expression of zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in the femoral quadriceps and adipose tissue after electroacupuncture (EA) at "Pishu" (BL 20)
"Weiwanxiashu" (EX-B 3)
"Zusanli" (ST 36) and "Sanyinjiao" (SP 6) in the rats with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM)
so as to explore the effect mechanism of EA in treatment of T2DM.
Methods
2
Twelve ZDF male rats were fed with high-sugar and high-fat fodder
Purina #5008 for 4 weeks to induce T2DM model. After successfully modeled
the rats were randomly divided into a model group and an EA group
with 6 rats in each one. Additionally
6 ZL male rats of the same months age were collected as the blank group. The rats in the EA group were treated with EA at bilateral "Pishu" (BL 20)
"Weiwanxiashu" (EX-B 3)
"Zusanli" (ST 36) and "Sanyinjiao" (SP 6)
with continuous wave
15 Hz in frequency
and 2 mA in intensity. The electric stimulation lasted 20 min each time. EA was delivered once daily
6 times a week for 4 weeks. Separately
the levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured before modeling
before and after intervention
and the body mass of each rat was weighted before and after intervention. After intervention
the levels of the total cholesterol (TC)
triacylglycerol (TG) and free fatty acid (FFA) in serum were detected using enzyme colorimetric method; and the levels of the serum insulin (INS) and ZAG were detected by ELISA. Besides
the insulin sensitivity index (HOMA-ISI) was calculated. With Western blot technique adopted
the protein expressions of ZAG and GLUT4 in the femoral quadriceps and adipose tissue were determined.
Results
2
After intervention
compared with the blank group
the levels of FBG and body mass
and the levels of serum TC
TG
FFA and INS increased (
P<
0.01)
while HOMA-ISI decreased (
P<
0.01); the level of ZAG in the serum and the p
rotein expressions of ZAG and GLUT4 in the femoral quadriceps and adipose tissue dropped (
P<
0.01) in the model group. In the EA group
compared with the model group
the levels of FBG and body mass
and the levels of serum TC
TG
FFA and INS were reduced (
P<
0.01)
and HOMA-ISI increased (
P<
0.01); the level of ZAG in the serum and the protein expressions of ZAG and GLUT4 in the femoral quadriceps and adipose tissue increased (
P<
0.01
P<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Electroacupuncture can effectively regulate glucose-lipid metabolism
improve insulin resistance and sensitivity in the rats with T2DM
which is associated with the modulation of ZAG and GLUT4 expression in the skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.
