Summary: | In the present study, we explored the therapeutic potential of bioreactor-grown cell cultures of the medicinal plant species
,
and
to treat carbohydrate metabolism disorders (CMDs) in laboratory rats. In the adrenaline model of hyperglycemia, aqueous suspensions of cell biomass pre-administered at a dose of 100 mg dry biomass/kg significantly reduced glucose level in animal blood 1-2.5 h (
and
) or 1 h (
) after adrenaline hydrochloride administration. In a streptozotocin-induced model of type 2 diabetes mellitus, the cell biomass of
and
acted towards normalization of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as evidenced by a significant reduction of daily diuresis (by 39-57%), blood-glucose level (by 46-51%), blood content in urine (by 78-80%) and total cholesterol (25-36%) compared to animals without treatment. Bioactive secondary metabolites identified in the cell cultures and potentially responsible for their actions were deltoside, 25(S)-protodioscin and protodioscin in
; furostanol-type steroidal glycosides and quinic acid derivatives in
; and ginsenosides and malonyl-ginsenosides in
These results evidenced for high potential of bioreactor-grown cell suspensions of these species for prevention and treatment of CMD, which requires further investigation. |
