Aims.To investigate the antidiabetic effect of the traditional Vietnamese herbGynostemma pentaphyllum(GP) together with sulfonylurea (SU) in 25 drug-naïve type 2 diabetic patients.Methods.After 4-week treatment with gliclazide (SU), 30 mg daily, all patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups to add on GP extract or placebo extract, 6 g daily, during eight weeks.Results.After 4-week SU treatment, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1Cdecreased significantly (P<0.001). FPG was further reduced after add-on therapy with 2.9 ± 1.7 and 0.9 ± 0.6 mmol/L in the GP and placebo groups, respectively (P<0.001). Therapy with GP extract also reduced 30- and 120-minute oral glucose tolerance test postload values. HbA1Clevels decreased approximately 2% units in the GP group compared to 0.7% unit in the placebo group (P<0.001).Conclusion.GP extract in addition to SU offers an alternative to addition of other oral medication to treat type 2 diabetic patients.

A siddha polyherbal preparation consisting of 5 medicinal plants, namely, Asparagus racemosus, Emblica officinalis, Salacia oblonga, Syzygium aromaticum, and Tinospora cordifolia, in equal ratio, was formulated to examine the molecular mechanism by which it exhibits antidiabetic effects in the liver of high-fat and fructose-induced type 2 diabetic rats. The polyherbal preparation treated type 2 diabetic rats showed an increase in insulin receptor, Akt, and glucose transporter2 mRNA levels compared with diabetic rats. Insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate-2, Akt, phosphorylated Akt substrate of 160kDaThreonine642, α-Actinin-4, β-arrestin-2, and glucose transporter2 proteins were also markedly decreased in diabetic rats, whereas the polyherbal preparation treatment significantly improved the expression of these proteins more than that of metformin-treated diabetic rats. The expression pattern of insulin signaling molecules analyzed in the present study signifies the therapeutic efficacy of the siddha polyherbal preparation.
