Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the long-term effects of low dosage La(NO
3)
3 on insulin and blood glucose in serum and hepatocyte glycogen in rat.
Methods:Levels of Insulin and blood glucose and hepatocyte glycogen in rat were measured by radiommunoassay and microscopy image analysis system after administrated with La(NO
3)
3(10.0 mg/kg、 2.0 mg/kg、 0.2 mg/kg、 0.1 mg/kg)for six and seven months.
Results:Having taken La(NO
3)
3 for 6 months,insulin levels in the 10.0 mg/kg group were reduced,blood glucose and hepatocyte glycogen levels in the 10.0 mg/kg group were increased,both in the sera of female and male rats;insulin levels、 blood glucose levels and hepatocyte glycogen levels in the 0.1 mg/kg、 0.2 mg/kg、 2.0mg/kg group,low dose treated groups was increased and later was reduced in the sera of the male.After fed by normal chow without La(NO
3)
3 for one month,the levels of insulin、 blood glucose and hepatocyte glycogen returned to normal again.
Conclusion:A long-term low dosage La(NO
3)
3 could change insulin、 blood glucose and hepatocyte glycogen levels.Insulin、 blood glucose and hepatocyte glycogen levels could back to normal levels after a short time of feeding without La.La(NO
3)
3.In concentration of 0.2 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg,it had the capacity to increase the levels of insulin、 blood glucose and hepatocyte glycogen.
