Abstract: Objective: The objective is to study the effect of Oat Glucan on hypoglycemic and blood glucose metabolism in diabetic rats. Methods: The diabetic rats induced by alloxan were given Oatβ-Glucan(200mg/kgbw) for 14 days and then the serum glucose, blood lipid, rheology ability of blood were determined. The morphologic of liver, kidney and hepatin were observation. Conclusion: To the diabetic rats, Oatβ-Glucan can adjust significantly the blood sugar(p<0.01)and can improve the ability of glucose metabolism by debasing serum lipid, improving the rheology ability of blood, restoring the function of liver and kidney,a cceleratingt hes ynthesis ofh epatin.

Key words: oatβ-glucan, hypoglycemic activity, blood glucose metabolism
