Hypoglycemic effects of dendrobium officinale leaves.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Numerous studies have demonstrated that the stems of D. officinale have the effect of lowering blood glucose, but the leaves of D. officinale have seldom been investigated. In this study, we mainly studied the hypoglycemic effect and mechanism of D. officinale leaves. Methods: Initially in vivo, male C57BL/6 mice were administered either standard feed (10 kcal% fat) or high-fat feed (60 kcal% fat) along with either normal drinking water or drinking water containing 5 g/L water extract of D. officinale leaves (EDL) for 16 weeks, and changes in body weight, food intake, blood glucose, etc., were monitored weekly. Next in vitro, C2C12 myofiber precursor cells which were induced to differentiate into myofibroblasts and cultu
