title: [Experimental study on hypoglycemic effect of YTY granules].
abstract: 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.
