The intraperitoneal administration of the methanol extract of Polygonati Rhizoma (OM) to Wistar fatty rats caused a significant decrease in the blood glucose level 4h after its administration at 800 mg/kg (p < 0.01). The hepatic content of facilitative glucose transporter isoform 2, liver type glucose transporter (GLUT2) mRNA content from rat liver significantly decreased in the intraperitoneally OM-treated rats compared to that in the controls (p < 0.01). These results suggest that the hypoglycemic effect of OM is presumably due, at least in part, to the reduction of GLUT2 mRNA expression. Because of this unique therapeutic mechanism, OM could be a new category of therapeutic agent for non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
