The suppressive effect of mangiferin with exercise on blood lipids in type 2 diabetes

The effect of mangiferin (MF) with exercise on bood lipids was studied in KK-AY mice, an animal model of type 2 diabetes. MF (30 mg/kg) reduced the blood cholesterol (p <0.05) and triglyceride level (p <0.01) of KK-A(y) mice with exercise 2 weeks after oral administration when compared with the control group. Diabetes also often has elevated lipid levels. Therefore, it may be that MF has beneficial effects on hyperlipidemia in type 2 diabetes.
