[Effect of salvipholin on the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the rat liver in alloxan diabetes].

Peroral administration of salvipholin in a dose of 50 mg/kg to intact male rats (the body weight 180-220 g) had a positive effect on the carbohydrate-lipid metabolism in the liver and blood serum of animals. Administration of the same dose to rats with alloxan diabetes induced a significant decrease in the content of glucose, free fat acids, triglycerides and lysophospholipids of the liver and blood serum. The level of these components has sharply increased after subcutaneous alloxan administration in a dose of 150 mg/kg, the content of glycogen and pyruvic acid being normalized and insulin deficiency removed.
