We investigated the effect of BRAND'S Essence of Chicken (BEC) on the basic metabolism of blood glucose in mice loaded with restraint stress. In the glucose intravenously treated mice, the stress prolonged the half-life period (T_<1/2>) of elimination for blood glucose from 51.7 to 62.2 min. The elimination rate decreased to 82.5% per min in stressed mice compared with a starved control. The T_<1/2> of blood glucose was 55.2 min in the BEC treated group. BEC alleviated a stress-induced decrease in blood glucose. The improved glucose metabolism was well explained by the findings that insulin levels were elevated and glycogen synthesis in liver was remarkably activated by BEC. Our study demonstrates that BEC improves metabolic dysfunction of blood glucose by elevating insulin levels reduced by restraint stress.
