中新网西宁3月19日电 (记者 李江宁)19日，记者从中国科学院西北高原生物研究所获悉，该所藏药研究重点实验室在对大果白刺的研究中发现，大果白刺中的某些化学成分能够显著地降低血糖水平，这为开发新型降血糖药物提供了新的候选物质，有望为糖尿病患者提供更安全、有效的治疗选择。
据该研究所研究员介绍，糖尿病是一种常见的慢性代谢性疾病，全球范围内有数亿人口受到这一疾病的影响。目前，虽然有多种药物可用于治疗糖尿病，但患者往往需要长期服药，且存在一定的副作用。因此，寻找更安全、有效的治疗方法一直是医学界关注的焦点。
大果白刺是一种生长在中国西北地区的野生植物，长期以来被用于传统藏药的制备。研究人员通过系统的化学成分分析和药理学实验，发现大果白刺中的一些活性成分具有良好的降血糖作用。这些成分不仅能够促进胰岛素的分泌，还能提高胰岛素敏感性，从而有效降低血糖。
此外，研究还表明，大果白刺提取物对糖尿病并发症如神经病变和视网膜病变也有一定的预防和治疗效果。研究人员目前正在进行深入研究，以期能够开发出基于大果白刺的全新糖尿病治疗药物。
这一研究成果为糖尿病患者带来了新的希望，也为传统藏药的研究与开发提供了新的方向。随着研究的深入，相信大果白刺将在糖尿病治疗领域发挥更大的作用。
英文标题：Research on Big-fruited Narelles Offers New Hope for Diabetes Patients

英文新闻内容：
XINING, China, March 19 (Xinhua) — Researchers at the Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered that certain chemical components in big-fruited narelles (Nitraria sibirica) can significantly lower blood glucose levels, offering a potential new treatment option for diabetes patients.
Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease affecting tens of millions of people worldwide. Although there are various drugs available to treat the condition, patients often need to take medication for long periods and may experience side effects. Therefore, the search for safer and more effective treatments has been a focus of the medical community.
Big-fruited narelles, a wild plant found in northwestern China, have been used in traditional Tibetan medicine for centuries. Through systematic analysis of its chemical components and pharmacological experiments, researchers found that some active ingredients in big-fruited narelles have good blood glucose-lowering effects. These components can not only promote insulin secretion but also improve insulin sensitivity, effectively reducing blood glucose levels.
Moreover, the study indicates that extracts from big-fruited narelles may also have preventive and therapeutic effects on diabetic complications such as neuropathy and retinopathy. Researchers are currently conducting further studies to develop new diabetes treatments based on big-fruited narelles.
This research offers new hope for diabetes patients and points to new directions in the study and development of traditional Tibetan medicine. With further research, big-fruited narelles are expected to play a greater role in the treatment of diabetes.
