Possible regeneration of the islets of Langerhans in streptozotocin-diabetic rats given Gymnema sylvestre leaf extracts.

Two water soluble extracts, GS3 and GS4, obtained from the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, were tested in streptozotocin treated rats for their effects on blood glucose homeostasis and pancreatic endocrine tissue. In the diabetic rats, fasting blood glucose levels returned to normal after 60 days of GS3 and after 20 days of GS4 oral administration. Blood collected during the conduct of oral glucose tolerance tests was used to assay for serum insulin. GS3 and GS4 therapy led to a rise in serum insulin to levels closer to normal fasting levels. In diabetic rat pancreas, both GS3 and GS4 were able to double the islet number and beta cell number. This herbal therapy appears to bring about blood glucose homeostasis through increased serum insulin levels provided by repair/regeneration of the endocrine pancreas.

solut ei uusiudu. :)
Kuka niin väittää? Autoimmuunisairaudessa nimeltä diabetes siitä ei olisi hyötyä, koska betasolut ovat tuhoutuneet ja kantasoluista syntyvät betasolut tuhoutuvat myös ellei tuhota koko immunopuolustusta. Solujen uusiutuminen tapahtuu itsestäänkin ilman mitään yrttejä. Ei tuossa ole mitään uutta. Joku rohtokauppias taas yrittää kusettaa.
Diabeteksesta kärsineenä pienetkin asiat saattavat valottaa elämää.
Jos betasoluja saadaan uusiutumaan tavalla tai toisella niin ruotsissa kehitetyn rokotuksen avulla sais diabetikkojen elämää helpotettua. En ole mikään biologi, mutta jotenkin en jaksa uskoa, että oma keho enään tuottaa betasoluja, mutta itse kyllä söisin rohtoja vaikka kilo kaupalla jos niistä vain voi olla edes jotain apua.
