Abstract: AIM:To develop a rat model of insulin resistance and observe the effect of puerarin injection on expression of GSK-3 in insulin resistance rats . METHEDS:30 Wistar rats were divided into three groups randomly :control group, model group and puerar- in group .The model group and puerarin group were given high fat diet ( 20 %surcose, 10 %ard, 2 .5 %chlesterol, 1 % cholic acid) for 4 weeks .Then the puerarin group was given abdominal injection puerarin 100 mg·kg -1·d-1 for six weeks .At the end of this experiment, we detect GSK-3 protein by western-blot analysis .Then computer image pattern analysis system was used to analyze the ex- pression of GSK-3 in the hepatacyte.RESULTS:Tthe model group showed a hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinism, the ISI decreased and HOMA-IR increased .GSK-3 ex- pression enhanced in the model group, but the expression of GSK-3 in puerarin group decreased compared to the model group .CONCLUSION:Puerarin injection can significantly decreased the expression of GSK-3 and im- prove insulin resistance .
