| Research Abstract |
In this study, to accumulate the scientific evidences about the effects of traditional medicines on life style-related diseases, we investigated the effects of Hachimijiogan and Bouiougito on diet-induced-insulin resistance in rats fed with high-fat diet and fructose-fed rats, animal models of type 2 diabetes. From these results, it was suggested that Hachimijiogan exerts beneficial effects on insulin resistance by the regulation of adipocytokine gene expression, although further experiments is needed to explain the detail mechanisms.
