The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Tang-Shen-Jiao-Nang (TSJN), a Chinese medicine used to treat diabetes mellitus, on insulin resistance and hypertension in fructose-fed rats (FFR). Six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either normal rat chow (control) or a fructose-rich chow (FFR) for 6wk. For the last 2 or 4wk of a 6-wk period of either diet, the rats were treated by gavage with gum arabic solution as a vehicle (control or FFR) or TSJN (800mg/kg/d; FFR+TS), and then we performed the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp technique to estimate insulin sensitivity. Systolic blood pressure was measured weekly for 6wk. At the end of the glucose clamp, the soleus muscle was dissected out for determination of muscle fiber composition by ATPase methods. Systolic blood pressure was elevated at 2wk after the start of the fructose-rich chow feeding and persisted thereafter throughout the study. Systolic blood pressure during the glucose clamp in the FFR group was significantly higher than that in the control group.Although there was no effect on systolic blood pressure in rats treated with TSJN for the last 2wk of their 6-wk diet, those treated with TSJN for the last 4wk of their 6-wk diet had lower systolic blood pressure than did the rats in the FFR group. The average rate of glucose infusion during the glucose clamp, as a measure of insulin sensitivity (M value), was significantly lower in the FFR than in the controls (10.9±0.6 and 15.4±0.4, mg/kg/min, for FFR and controls, respectively; p<0.01). Treatment with TSJN for 2wk significantly improved the M value compared to that of the control level (15.1±0.5mg/kg/min). The composite ratio of type I fibers in the soleus muscle was significantly decreased in the FFR compared to controls (75.0±1.7 and 81.7±1.5%, for FFR and controls, respectively; p<0.01), and treatment with TSJN for 2wk led to a recovery composite ratio of type I fiber to the same level as that of the control group (78.7±1.7% in FFR+TS). The M value was significantly correlated with the compositions of type I and type II fibers (for type I fibers, r=0.45, p<0.01, for type II fibers, r=-0.44, p<0.05). These results suggest that the Chinese medicine TSJN may improve insulin resistance, lower the systolic blood pressure, and modulate muscle fiber composition in hypertensive and insulin-resistant fructose-fed rats.
