title: [Effect of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch water extraction on gene expression of proinsulin in type 2 diabetes mellitus rats].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the mechanisms of treating 2-DM by Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch water extraction (RGLE).
  
  
  METHODS
  The mRNA level of proinsulin in rats panreas tissue was examined by semi-quatitativa RT-PCR,and the protein was measured by SDS-PAGE.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mRNA and protein expressions of proinsulin in RGLE group were higher than those of diabetic model group (P<0.01). The levels of FPG decreased. FINS,IS, HbetaCI increased (P<0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It may be the mechanism how the RGLE to decline high FPG and cure the 2-DM.
