Role of Cinnamon Extract on Blood Glucose and Testosterone Levels

Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the effects of cinnamon extract on of blood glucose as well as serum insulin and testosterone hormones. The experiment was carried out on twenty four male adult mice distributed into 4 groups of 6 mice each. Group one was kept as positive control, while mice of the other three groups were given orally an aqueous cinnamon extract at 0.5, 1 and 2mg/ml respectively, daily for three weeks. The results showed that oral administration of cinnamon extract at 2 mg/ml to diabetic male mice for three weeks decreased blood glucose level and increased serum insulin and testosterone levels. This study recommends that intake of cinnamon bark as a drink may be beneficial for diabetic patients who suffer from sexual impotency as their extracts induce antidiabetic activity and enhance male fertility in diabetic mice. ‫واﻟﺗﺳﺗﯾﺳﺗرون‬ ‫اﻟﺳﻛر‬ ‫ﻣﻌدﻻت‬ ‫ﻋﻠﻰ‬ ‫اﻟﻘرﻓﺔ‬ ‫ﻣﺳﺗﺧﻠص‬ ‫دور‬ ‫اﻟﺧﻼﺻﺔ‬ ‫ﺎﻓﺔ‬ ‫إﺿ‬ ‫دم‬ ‫ﺑﺎﻟ‬ ‫ﻛر‬ ‫اﻟﺳ‬ ‫ز‬ ‫ﺗرﻛﯾ‬ ‫ﻰ‬ ‫ﻋﻠ‬ ‫اﻟﻘرﻓﺔ‬ ‫ﻧﺑﺎت‬ ‫ﻣﺳﺗﺧﻠص‬ ‫ﻓﻌﺎﻟﯾﺔ‬ ‫ﻋن‬ ‫ﻟﻠﺗﺣري‬ ‫اﻟدراﺳﺔ‬ ‫ھذه‬ ‫ﺻﻣﻣت‬ ‫اﻟﺗﺳﺗﯾرون‬ ‫وھرﻣون‬ ‫اﻻﻧﺳوﻟﯾن‬ ‫إﻟﻰ‬. ‫اﺧﺗﺑﺎر‬ ‫ﺗم‬ 26 ‫ﻊ‬ ‫ﺑواﻗ‬ ‫ﺎﻣﯾﻊ‬ ‫ﻣﺟ‬ ‫ﻊ‬ ‫ارﺑ‬ ‫ﻰ‬ ‫ﻋﻠ‬ ‫وزﻋﯾن‬ ‫ﻣ‬ ‫ﺄر‬ ‫ﻓ‬ 6 ‫ران‬ ‫ﻓﺋ‬ ‫ﺔ‬ ‫ﻣﺟﻣوﻋ‬ ‫ل‬ ‫ﻟﻛ‬. ‫ﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﺛﻼﺛ‬ ‫ﺎﻣﯾﻊ‬ ‫اﻟﻣﺟ‬ ‫ﻊ‬ ‫ﺗﺟرﯾ‬ ‫م‬ ‫ﺗ‬ ‫ﯾن‬ ‫ﺣ‬ ‫ﻲ‬ ‫ﻓ‬ ‫ﯾطرة‬ ‫ﺳ‬ ‫ل‬ ‫ﻛﻣﻌﺎﻣ‬ ‫رت‬ ‫اﺧﺗﺑ‬ ‫ﻰ‬ ‫اﻻوﻟ‬ ‫ﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻣﺟﻣوﻋ‬ ‫ﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻣﺗﺑﻘﯾ‬ ‫ﺑ‬ ‫ﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻘرﻓ‬ ‫ﺎت‬ ‫ﻟﻧﺑ‬ ‫ﺎﺋﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﻣ‬ ‫ﺗﺧﻠص‬ ‫ﺎﻟﻣﺳ‬ ‫و‬ ‫ت‬ ‫ﺗراوﺣ‬ ‫ز‬ ‫ﺑﺗراﻛﯾ‬ 0.5 ، 1 ‫و‬ 2 ‫م‬ ‫ﻣﻠﻐ‬ / ‫واﻟﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﺗ‬ ‫ﻰ‬ ‫ﻋﻠ‬ ‫ل‬ ‫ﻣ‬ ‫أﺳﺎﺑﯾﻊ‬ ‫ﺛﻼﺛﺔ‬ ‫وﻟﻣدة‬ ‫ﯾوﻣﯾﺎ‬. ‫ﺎﻟﺗرﻛﯾز‬ ‫ﺑ‬ ‫ﺔ‬ ‫ﻟﻠﻘرﻓ‬ ‫ﺎﺋﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﻣ‬ ‫ﺗﺧﻠص‬ ‫ﻟﻠﻣﺳ‬ ‫وي‬ ‫اﻟﻔﻣ‬ ‫ﻊ‬ ‫اﻟﺗﺟرﯾ‬ ‫أن‬ ‫ﺎﺋﺞ‬ ‫اﻟﻧﺗ‬ ‫رت‬ ‫أظﮭ‬ 2 ‫م‬ ‫ﻣﻠﻐ‬ / ‫ران‬ ‫ﻟﻠﻔﺋ‬ ‫ل‬ ‫ﻣ‬ ‫ﺧﻔﺿت‬ ‫أﺳﺎﺑﯾﻊ‬ ‫ﺛﻼﺛﺔ‬ ‫ﻟﻣدة‬ ‫ﺑﺎﻟﺳﻛري‬ ‫اﻟﻣﺻﺎﺑﺔ‬ ‫ون‬ ‫ھرﻣ‬ ‫دﻻت‬ ‫ﻣﻌ‬ ‫وزادت‬ ‫دم‬ ‫اﻟ‬ ‫ﻲ‬ ‫ﻓ‬ ‫ﻛر‬ ‫اﻟﺳ‬ ‫ز‬ ‫ﺗرﻛﯾ‬ ‫ﻣﻌدل‬ ‫ﺗﯾرون‬ ‫واﻟﺗﺳ‬ ‫وﻟﯾن‬ ‫اﻻﻧﺳ‬. ‫ﺎت‬ ‫ﻧﺑ‬ ‫ذ‬ ‫أﺧ‬ ‫ﮫ‬ ‫ﺑﺄﻧ‬ ‫ﻲ‬ ‫ﻧوﺻ‬ ‫ﺎ‬ ‫ﻋﻠﯾﮭ‬ ‫ول‬ ‫اﻟﺣﺻ‬ ‫م‬ ‫ﺗ‬ ‫ﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﺗ‬ ‫ﺎﺋﺞ‬ ‫ﻟﻠﻧﺗ‬ ‫را‬ ‫وﻧظ‬ ‫ذﻟك‬ ‫ﻟ‬ ‫ﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻘرﻓ‬ ‫ز‬ ‫اﻟﻌﺟ‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ﻣ‬ ‫ﺎﻧون‬ ‫ﯾﻌ‬ ‫ذي‬ ‫واﻟ‬ ‫ﻛري‬ ‫اﻟﺳ‬ ‫ﻰ‬ ‫ﻟﻣرﺿ‬ ‫دة‬ ‫ﻣﻔﯾ‬ ‫ﺎﺋﺞ‬ ‫ﻧﺗ‬ ‫ﻰ‬ ‫إﻟ‬ ‫ؤدي‬ ‫ﯾ‬ ‫د‬ ‫ﻗ‬ ‫راب‬ ‫ﺷ‬ ‫ﻛل‬ ‫وﺑﺷ‬ ‫ون‬ ‫ﻛ‬ ‫ﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﺟﻧﺳ‬ ‫و‬ ‫اﻟﺳﻛري‬ ‫ﺿد‬ ‫اﻟﻔﻌﺎﻟﯾﺔ‬ ‫ﯾﺣﻔز‬ ‫اﻟﻧﺑﺎﺗﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﻣﺳﺗﺧﻠص‬ ‫ﺑﺎﻟﺳﻛري‬ ‫اﻟﻣﺻﺎﺑﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻔﺋران‬ ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﺧﺻوﺑﺔ‬ ‫ﺗﺣﺳﯾن‬.
