Abstract

Kolaviron (KV) is an established antihyperglycemic agent in both normal and experimental diabetic rats. The role of ileum in glucose uptake in KV-treated normal and diabetic rats was investigated. Rats (150–180 g) were used and grouped into 4 (n=5/group). Groups 1 and 2 are the control (non-diabetic) and untreated diabetics respectively while groups 3 and 4 were treated with 200 mg/kg KV and 5mg/kg Glibenclamide (GB) orally respectively. Diabetes was induced by 120 mg/kg of alloxan. Before each phase, rats fasted for 12 h with free access to water. Phase 1 assessed the effect of treatments on blood glucose levels while Phases 2 and 3 investigated the route of glucose utilization following treatments. Rats were anaesthetized before laparotomy in Phases 2 and 3 following which 4 ml of modified Krebs solution was infused between 2 ligated ends of the ileum. Glucose concentration was determined by the glucose oxidase method. Data were analyzed and considered significant at P < 0.05. Fasting blood glucose of KV-treated and GB-treated decreased significantly compared to the Control and Diabetic after 2 h of KV administration. The A-V study recorded a 14.1%, 27.6%, and 19.3% decrease in A-V difference of blood glucose concentration in the untreated diabetics, KV-treated and GB-treated respectively compared to the control after 2 h. The ileum glucose absorption (mg/dl/cm) increased significantly in the KV-treated (12.67±1.2; 18.12±1.6) and GB treated (10.41±0.8; 16.51±1.1) when compared with the control (8.66±0.9; 11.61±1.6) and untreated diabetic (9.91±0.8; 11.13±0.9) after 90 and 120 minutes respectively. The mode of improved absorption into the enterocytes was not elucidated in this study. The role of the surviving pancreatic β-cells should be investigated.
