Abstract

Gelidium amansii shows antioxidant and anti-obesity effects; however, the effect on postprandial blood glucose levels is not known. The objective of the present study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of Gelidium amansii extract (GAE) on carbohydrate-digesting enzymes and its ability to alleviate postprandial hyperglycemia in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Gelidium amansii was extracted with 80% ethanol and concentrated for use in this study. The ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ and ${\alpha}-amylase$ inhibition assays were performed using the colorimetric method. ICR normal and STZ-induced diabetic mice were orally administered GAE (300 mg/kg body weight) or acarbose (100 mg/kg body weight) alone or soluble starch (2 g/kg body weight). Blood samples were taken from the tail vein at 0, 30, 60 and 120 min. Our results indicated that GAE markedly inhibited ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ and ${\alpha}-amylase$ activities with $IC_{50}$ values of $0.099{\pm}0.009mg/ml$ and $0.178{\pm}0.038mg/ml$, respectively, and was a more effective inhibitor than acarbose, the positive control. Further, the postprandial blood glucose levels of STZ-induced diabetic mice in the GAE-administered group were significantly lower than those of control group mice (p<0.05). Moreover, the area under the curves (AUC) significantly decreased with GAE administration in STZ-induced diabetic mice (p<0.05). These results indicate that GAE may be effective in decreasing postprandial blood glucose levels by inhibiting carbohydrate-digesting enzymes such as ${\alpha}-amylase$ and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$. Therefore, GAE could be used as a potential functional food for alleviating postprandial hyperglycemia.

우뭇가사리(Gelidium amansi)는 홍조류로서 우뭇가사리과(Gelidiaceae)에 속한다. 현재까지 우뭇가사리의 항산화 및 항비만 효과 등의 기능들이 연구되었으나 식후 혈당 수치에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Gelidium amansii extract (GAE)가 탄수화물 가수분해 효소(${\alpha}-glucosidase$, ${\alpha}-amylase$)에 미치는 억제 효과 및 streptozotocin (STZ)으로 유도된 당뇨병 마우스의 식후고혈당에 미치는 완화효과를 조사하였다. 정상군과 STZ으로 유도된 당뇨병 마우스에 수용성 전분(2 g/kg body weight)을 경구투여한 후 GAE (300 mg/kg body weight) 또는 acarbose (100 mg/kg body weight)를 단독 또는 함께 투여하였다. 혈당은 꼬리채혈을 통해 0, 30, 60, 120분 간격으로 측정하였다. ${\alpha}-glucosidase$와 ${\alpha}-amylase$에 대한 GAE의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 각각 $0.099{\pm}0.009mg/ml$와 $0.178{\pm}0.038mg/ml$의 결과값을 나타내어, 양성대조군인 acarbose보다 더 효과적이었다. STZ으로 유발된 당뇨병 마우스의 식후 혈당 수치는 대조군에 비해 GAE 투여 시 유의적으로 더 낮았다(p<0.05). 또한 GAE 투여는 당뇨병 마우스에서 포도당 반응에 대한 곡선하면적 감소와 관련이 있었다(p<0.05). 이러한 결과는 GAE가 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, ${\alpha}-amylas$와 같은 탄수화물 가수분해 효소를 억제함으로써 식후 고혈당을 완화시키는 유용한 천연기능성 식품이 될 것으로 사료된다.
