Abstract

This study investigates the effects of Psidium guajava L. leaf (Pg) extract, Lagerstroemia speciosa L. leaf (Ls) extract, and mixture A (Pg, Ls, Morus indica L. leaf, Pinus densiflora needles, Acanthopanax senticosus M. roots extract) on db/db mice. For four weeks, db/db mice were fed powdered extracts of Pg, Ls, and mixture A. Compared to the diabetic control, extracts of Pg, Ls and mixture A decreased body weight, glucose and insulin. The greatest decreases were caused by mixture A. These extracts decreased the levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride and free fatty acid compared to the diabetic control. The antihyperlipidemic effect of mixture A was the greatest. Mixture A also significantly decreased injuries of Langerhans' islets compared to the diabetic control. Mixture A showed a beneficial synergistic effect due to the supplementary pharmacological actions of the ingredients in contains, indicating that it improved hyperglycemia without the side effect of weight gain.

본 연구는 db/db mice에 대한 구아바 잎(Pg), 바나바 잎(Ls) 추출물 그리고 혼합물 A (바나바, 구아바, 뽕, 솔잎 그리고 가시오가피 뿌리 추출물)의 효과를 조사하였다. 4주간 db/db mice에 이들 추출물을 섭취시킨 결과 Pg, Ls 그리고 혼합물 A의 섭취는 당뇨 대조군에 비해 체중, 혈당, 인슐린을 감소시켰으며 이들 중에서 혼합물 A의 감소효과가 가장 높았다. 이들 추출물은 당뇨 대조군에 비해 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 유리지방산을 감소시켰으며 이들 중에서 혼합물 A의 항고지혈증 효과가 가장 뛰어났다. 또한 혼합물 A는 당뇨 대조군에 비해 Langerhans' islets의 손상을 유의하게 감소시켰다. 따라서 혼합물 A는 포함된 구성물질의 상호보완적인 약리작용에 의해 체중증가의 부작용이 없이 고혈당을 개선시키는 유익한 상승효과를 발휘한 것으로 나타났다.
