1 | Andrographolide, a novel inducer of apelin gene expression. | andrographolide | apelin | Rattus norvegicus |
2 | AIMS OF THE STUDY: This study sought to investigate the effect of Andrographolide on apelin gene expression and serum levels of glucose. | andrographolide | apelin | Rattus norvegicus |
3 | RESULTS: The results of this study revealed that 3.5 and 7 mg doses per kg of body weight of andrographolide, for six days, significantly increased hepatic expression of apelin gene in male Wistar rats, as compared with the control group (p < 0.05). | andrographolide | apelin | Rattus norvegicus |
4 | CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that Andrographolide can elicit an increase of hepatic apelin gene expression and a decrease in serum levels of blood glucose. | andrographolide | apelin | Rattus norvegicus |
