In this experimental study we have investigated whether the inclusion of the dietary fiberPlantago ovatahusk could be recommended as coadjuvant in treatments with oral hypoglycemic drugs. We evaluated the use ofPlantago ovatahusk-metformin association in diabetic rabbits by determining its effects on glucose and insulin concentrations. Six groups of 6 rabbits were used. Groups 1 to 3 were fed with standard chow and groups 4 to 6 with chow supplemented withPlantago ovatahusk (3.5 mg/kg/day). Two groups (numbers 1 and 4) were used as controls (receiving standard or supplemented chow), two groups (numbers 2 and 5) received metformin orally, and the other two (numbers 3 and 6) were treated orally with metformin and psyllium. Plasma glucose concentrations were lower in groups fed with fiber-supplemented chow whereas insulin levels showed important interindividual variations. Glucose pharmacokinetics parameters showed significant differences inCmaxandtmaxin relation to fiber intake. Insulin pharmacokinetics parameters after treatment with oral metformin showed an important increase inCmax, AUC, andtmaxin animals fed with fiber. We conclude thatPlantago ovatahusk intake can contribute to the oral antihyperglycemic treatment of type 2 diabetes.
