Anabolic response of some tissues to diabetes

Ethanolic extract of Ocimum sanctum leaves partially attenuates streptozotocin-induced alterations in glycogen content and carbohydrate metabolism in rats

“…The entry of glucose in renal tissue is not dependent on action of insulin and, therefore, in the event of hyperglycemia there is an increase in the entry of glucose (Belfiore et al, 1986). This has been postulated to cause increased intra-renal glycogen deposition, which leads to glycosylation of basement membrane collagen in the kidney (Anderson and Stowring, 1973).…”

Antidiabetic effect of alcoholic extract of Caralluma sinaica L. on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rabbits

“…The entry of renal glucose is not dependent on action of insulin and, therefore, in the event of hyperglycemia there is an increase in the entry of glucose (Belfiore et al, 1986).

Hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic effect of Begonia malabarica Lam. in normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic rats

“…The entry of renal glucose is not dependent on action of insulin and therefore in the event of hyperglycemia there is an increase in the entry of glucose (Belfiore et al, 1986). This has been postulated to cause increased intra-renal glycogen deposition which leads to glycosylation of basement membrane collagen in kidney (Anderson and Stowring, 1973).…”
