    Abstract:

    Lycium barbarum L. plays roles in anti-aging,anti-fatigue,anti-fatty and immunity improvement. We used alloxan-induced diabetic mouse model to investigate hypoglycemic activity of Lycium Barbarum L. water extract(LBWE). Metformin hydrochloride solution(Met) was served as positive drug. 28-day LBWE treatment significantly reduced mouse blood glucose compared to model group. LBWE strongly improved alloxan-induced weight loss,abnormal symptoms of food and water intake. The hypoglycemic activity of LBWE was further confirmed by the inhibition of serum glucose in glucose tolerance test. Moreover,LBEW-treated mice showed low MDA and high SOD and GSH-Px activity compared to model group,suggested that LBWE prevented oxidative stress associated with diabetes complications. In conclusion,LBWE has a hypoglycemic effect by preventing oxidative damage.
