Alhambra, CA, August 27, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Through the translation of a document from Chinese to English, Abacus Chinese Translation Services discovers something that may be beneficial to people with diabetes in which a potential diabetes treatment may be discovered. A new ingredient was found to have blood sugar lowering effect and pancreas islet cell proliferation effect in an experiment in Japan was incorporated into a dietary supplement and it could become a potential diabetes treatment.

Euonymus alata sieb, considered an invasive plant in California, was found to lower the blood sugar levels in normal and alloxan diabetic animals in an experiment done in Japan. Sodium oxalacetate, its active ingredient, when administered long-term, is found to proliferate the islet cells of the pancreas in rats. Currently, Yu Xiao San 8805, a dietary supplement used in the US, but a traditional Chinese medicine used in China, is the only diabetes related product on the market that contains such ingredient.

In another news release, in a preliminary double blind, randomized controlled animal study conducted at the Stanford University School of Medicine in the 1990’s for the application of a research grant from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Yu Xiao San 8805 was shown to have statistically significant effect on the increase in triglycerides (TG) in these streptozotocin-induced insulin resistant diabetic rats.
