인삼 Saponin 분획의 고혈당강하작용에 관한 연구(II)
Study on the Hypoglycemic Action of Ginseng Saponin on Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Rats (II)
초록
The decreased activities of liver enzymes relating to carbohydrate metabolism such as glucose- 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and acetyl CoA carboxylase of streptozotocin injected rats were significantly modified by the intraperitoneal injection of ginseng saponin mixture and/or purified ginsenosides. However, several enzymes such as pyruvate kinase, malic enzyme and glycogen phosphorylase were not modified appreciably by the saponin administration, suggesting that the effect of ginseng saponin might be depend upon individual enzymes. Examination of liver enzymes by liver professing technique using perfusion buffer containing saponin (10-3%) showed that the ginseng saponin might stimulate insulin biosynthesis as well as the related enzyme activities.
