Abstract

Hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of Jerusalem artichoke composites (JAP) with extracts of G. procumbens (12.5%), M. charantia (12.5%), and C. longa (12.5%) to H. tuberosus concentrate (JA, 50%) were evaluated in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Rats were divided into seven groups: normal (Normal), diabetic control (Diabetic), group fed G. procumbens extract (0.5 g/kg bw, D-GPE), group fed JAP (0.5 g/kg bw, D-JAP1; 1.5 g/kg bw, D-JAP2), group fed JA (0.5 g/kg bw, D-JA), and group fed Metformin (0.2 g/kg bw, D-MET) as a positive control. The blood glucose levels over 4 weeks were significantly decreased in the D-JAP2 and D-MET groups compared to the other groups after 3 weeks. The serum insulin level was not significant among the groups fed an experimental diet, but the HOMA-IR value was significantly decreased compared to the diabetic control group. AST and ALT activities in the serum were lowest in D-JAP1. Total lipid and triglyceride contents in the serum decreased in the groups fed an experimental diet, and the HDL-C contents of D-GPE, D-JAP1, and D-JAP2 were significantly increased compared to the diabetic control group. Triglyceride contents in the liver tissue were significantly lower in the D-GPE, D-JAP1, and D-JAP2 groups, and hepatic TBARS content was significantly decreased in the D-JAP1 and D-JAP2 groups compared to the diabetic control group. Hepatic antioxidative enzyme levels, such as SOD, catalase, and GSH-Px, were significantly elevated in groups fed an experimental diet compared to the diabetic control group. Therefore, JAP may be more effective than JA in the human body due to its hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities.

돼지감자 농축액(JA, 50%)에 명월초(12.5%), 여주(12.5%), 울금(12.5%) 추출물이 혼합된 돼지감자 복합물(JAP)을 streptozotocin (STZ)으로 당뇨 유발된 흰쥐에 4주간 급이하였을 때 혈당강하 및 지질개선에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실험군은 정상군(Normal), 당뇨 대조군(Diabetic), 당뇨 유발된 흰쥐에 명월초 추출물 급이군(D-GPE), 돼지감자 복합물 급이군(0.5 g/kg, D-JAP1; 1.5 g/kg, D-JAP2), 돼지감자 농축액 급이군(D-JA) 및 메타포민 급이군(D-MET)으로 구분하였다. 실험사육 4주 동안 혈당 변화는 D-JAP2군 및 D-MET군에서 3주간 실험식이 급이 후 두드러진 감소현상을 보였다. 혈청 인슐린 함량은 실험식이의 급이에 따른 유의차가 없었으나, HOMA-IR값은 당뇨 대조군에 비해 실험식이 급이군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 혈청의 AST 및 ALT 활성은 D-JAP1군에서 가장 낮았다. 혈청의 총 지질 및 중성지방 함량은 당뇨 대조군에 비해 시료 급이군에서 유의적으로 감소되었으며, HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 당뇨 대조군에 비해 D-GPE, D-JAP1 및 D-JAP2군에서 유의적으로 증가되었다. 간 조직 중 중성지방 함량은 당뇨 대조군에 비해 D-GPE, D-JAP1 및 D-JAP2군에서 유의적으로 감소되었으며, 지질과산화물의 함량은 당뇨 대조군에 비해 D-JAP1 및 D-JAP2군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 간 조직의 SOD 및 catalase 수준은 당뇨 대조군에 비해 D-GPE, D-JAP1 및 D-JAP2군에서, GSH-Px 수준은 모든 실험식이 급이군에서 유의적으로 증가되었다. 이상의 결과에서 돼지감자 복합물은 돼지감자 농축액에 비해 혈당강하 및 당뇨로 인한 지질개선에 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.
