Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the hypolgycemic activity of water extract of fermented yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) leaves tea (Yacon LWE) in high-fat diet (HFD)/streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Male ICR mice were fed with a HFD (37% calories from fat) for 4 weeks prior to intraperitoneal injection with STZ (100 mg/kg body weight). Diabetic mice were supplemented with two doses of Yacon LWE (0.16% and 0.8%, wt/wt) for 6 weeks. The supplementation of high-dose Yacon LWE significantly lowered blood glucose levels and plasma ALT and AST activities compared with the control group. High-dose Yacon LWE also improved the insulin tolerance without any changes in plasma and pancreatic insulin concentrations in HFD/STZ-induced diabetic mice. Yacon LWE supplementation increased the insulin staining of pancreatic $\beta$-cells in a dose-dependent manner. Both 0.16% and 0.8% of Yacon LWE significantly elevated plasma leptin concentration, hepatic glucokinase activity and glucokinase/glucose-6-phosphatase ratio compared with the control group. However, glycosylated hemoglobin concentration was not different among the groups. These results suggest that high-dose Yacon LWE lowers the blood glucose level partly by enhancing insulin sensitivity and hepatic glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetic mice.

본 연구는 고지방식이와 STZ으로 제2형 당뇨병을 유발한 마우스에게 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물을 수준별로 급여한 후 혈당과 당대사 변화를 살펴보았다. 4주령 ICR 마우스를 1주간 적응시킨 후 고지방식이 (전체 열량의 37% 지방)를 4주간 급여하여 인슐린저항성을 유발한 마우스에게 STZ (100 mg/kg body weight)을 일회 복강주사 하였다. 7일 후 공복시 혈당이 250 mg/dL인 마우스만을 사용하여 난괴법으로 대조군, 저농도 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물군 (0.16%, wt/wt), 고농도 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물군 (0.8%, wt/wt)으로 나누었으며, 야콘잎 발효차 분말이 1%와 5% 수준이 되도록 열수추출물을 식이에 첨가 조제하여 6주간 사육하였다. 체중, 일일 식이섭취량과 상대적 장기무게는 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물 급여에 따른 유의적인 영향이 없었다. 실험 6주 동안 대조군에 비하여 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물 급여는 혈당상승을 억제하였는데 특히, 고농도 야콘잎발효차 열수추출물 급여는 실험 5주째부터 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 혈당을 낮추기 시작하여 실험종료시 대조군에 비하여 21%의 혈당을 개선하였다. 반면, 당화헤모글로빈의 함량은 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물 급여에 따른 영향이 관찰되지 않았다. 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물 급여는 혈장 중의 인슐린과 C-펩티드 함량 및 내당능을 개선하지 못하였으나 고농도의 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물 급여는 제2형 당뇨마우스의 인슐린 내성을 유의적으로 개선하였다. 또한 혈장 중의 렙틴 농도는 모든 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물군이 대조군에 비하여 1.2배 유의적으로 높았으며, 대조군에 비하여 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물 급여군의 췌장내 $\beta$-세포가 농도의존적으로 많이 존재하였다. 간조직의 GK 활성은 대조군에 비하여 저농도와 고농도의 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물 급여군에서 유의적으로 높았으며, G6Pase 활성은 고농도 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물 급여군이 대조군과 저농도 급여군에 비하여 낮았다. 그러나 GK/G6Pase 비는 저농도와 고농도 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물군 모두 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다. 한편, PEPCK 활성은 실험군간 유의적인 변화가 없었다. 고농도의 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물군의 혈장 AST와 ALT 활성은 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮았다. 이와 같이 고농도의 야콘잎 발효차 열수추출물은 제2형 당뇨마우스의 인슐린 민감성을 개선하고 간조직에서 당이용을 높이는 반면, 당 신생을 억제함으로써 혈당저하에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
