Effects of rice protein on type 2 diabetes and the renal functions in diabetic model rats

我们通过将大米蛋白与酪蛋白作为不同的蛋白质来源进行比较，研究了从精米中制备的大米蛋白对雄性非肥胖2型糖尿病Goto-Kakizaki（GK）大鼠糖尿病和糖尿病肾病的影响。GK大鼠是一种日本型2型糖尿病模型动物。结果显示，大米蛋白对空腹血糖、血浆胰岛素和收缩压水平没有影响。然而，饲喂大米蛋白的GK大鼠尿白蛋白排泄和肾小球损伤均被显著抑制。

We examined the effects of the rice protein prepared from well-milled rice on diabetes and diabetic nephropathy in male non-obese type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki(GK) rats, by comparing the rice protein to casein as the different protein source. GK rat is a kind of model animals of Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the results, the rice protein had no effects on the levels of fasting blood glucose and plasma insulin, and systolic blood pressures. However, both urinary albumin excretion and renal glomerular damages in GK rats fed the rice protein were significantly suppressed.
