[Experimental study on hypoglycemic effect of YTY granules].
OBJECTIVE
To perform experimental pharmacodynamic evaluation of a new TCM antidiabetic drug Yitangyin (YTY).


METHODS
Experimkental streptozotocin induced rat diabetes models were subjected YTY treatment and the hypoglycemic effect was evaluated. The proved TCM Yusanxiao (YSX) was used as contrast.


RESULTS
The low, middle and high dose YTY groups exhibited significant hypoglycemic effects on the model rats. The efficiency was comparable with YSX.


CONCLUSIONS
The TCM YTY granule is an effective hypoglycmeic agent.
