The current study examined the effects of freeze-dried mulberry fruit on disaccharidase activity in the small intestine and the lowering of blood glucose in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned to one normal and three streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic groups. The diabetic groups were fed a mulberry fruit-free diet (DM-group), 0.3% mulberry fruit diet (DM-F group) or 0.6% mulberry fruit diet (DM-2F group). After they were fed the experimental diets for three weeks, diabetes was induced with an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 50 mg/kg b.w before sacrificing 9 days later using the same experimental treatments. Analyses of anthocyanins, flavonoid and 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) of lyophilized mulberry fruit were carried out and the major anthocyanins were rutin (142.5 mg), isoquercitrin (10.3 mg), quercetin (5.8 mg), morin (1.6 mg) dihydroquercetin (3.83 mg), cy-3-O-glucopyranoside (230.45 mg) and cy-3-O-rutinoside (131.5 mg) on the basis of 100 g dry weight. Total DNJ content was 2.39 mg/g dry weight of lyophilized mulberry fruit. Blood glucose level decreased in the diabetic mts fed the mulberry fruit supplement. The content of the liver glycogen increased in the diabetic mts fed the mulberry fruit supplement. Disaccharidase activity in the proximal part of the intestine, such as that of maltase, sucrase and lactase in the mulberry fruit supplementation groups, were lower than that of the DM group. These results suggest that mulberry fruit possess a suppressive effect on hyperglycemia, possibly by inhibiting the activity of disaccharidase in the small intestine of rats.

The present study was designed to clarify the antidiabetic activity and mechanism of Dioscorea rhizome in diabetic db/db mice. Mice were administered Dioscorea rhizome and rosiglitazone orally for 7 weeks and the effects of these compounds on fasting blood glucose, glucose tolerance and intestinal disaccharidase activity in db/db mice were evaluated. The fasting serum glucose of the D. rhizome treated group was reduced when compared with that of the db/db control group. In addition, the disaccharidase activities in homogenates of the proximal, middle and distal segment of the small intestine were significantly decreased response to D. rhizome treatment, especially in the middle segment. These results suggest that D. rhizome decreases blood glucose via a decrease in the activity of disaccharidase in the mucosa of the middle region of the small intestine in db/db mice.

This study examined the anti-diabetic effect of a silkworm extract in C57BL/6J mice, an ob/㏈ model, fed a high fat diet for 8 weeks. The body weight was not significantly different with the silkworm-extract supplement, nor did food intake and body weight gains also did not differ significantly among the high-fat diet groups. However, the water intake by the silkworm-extract supplemented groups increased significantly compared with that by the distilled-water supplement group, nonetheless, the FER did not differ significantly. For all groups, the blood glucose increased the most after 30 minutes and yet returned to a fasting level within 90 minutes. The fasting time and resulting glucose tolerance for the silkworm-extract supplemented groups were significantly decreased compared to that for the high fat diet with distilled water supplement group, while the level of blood glucose in silkworm-extract supplemented groups was significantly decreased compared with than in the diabetic control group. The HbA1c and insulin levels were no different among the groups. The sucrase and lactase activities in the proximal small intestine were significantly decreased in the silkworm-extract supplement groups compared to that in the diabetic control group. There was no significant difference in the glycogen contents in the liver and muscle among the groups. In conclusion, it was found that the silkworm-extract supplement repressed the disaccharidase activity in the small intestines mucosa of the C57BL/6J mice.

The digestibility of xylooligosaccharide(XO) by juices of the digestive tract and retardation effect of XO on the adsorption of bile acids were compared with fructooligosaccharide(FO) and isomaltooligosaccharide(IO). In vitro digestion experiments showed that any hydrolyzed products of FO, IO and XO were not detected by HPLC after reaction with saliva, pancreatic, artifical intesteinal, and large intestinal luices, and artifical sera for 4 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$. However, IO were mostly digested by the small intestinal juice, and some quantity of FO were digested. XO were not digested at all by any enzyme of digestive tract. In order to investigate retardation effect of XO on the bile acid absorption. In vitro, permeability of bile acid against dialysis membrane was determined in the mixture which contained guar gum instead of XO was set 100%. The premeability of bile acid showed about 50% in the FO and IO mixture and 43% in the XO mixture. The activity of lactase in FO group and activity of sucrase and maltase in XO group in rat small intestinal mucosa were significantly decreased. Consequently, the present results indicate that XO is indigestible in digestive tract and has retarding effect of adsorption of bile acid compared with the other oligosaccharides. The disaccharidase activity of the XO dietary group was lower than that of the other oligosaccharides dietary group. Furthermore, it was suggested that hydrolysis of sugar may be retarded in digestive tract and glucose level in blood may be controlled effectively by the XO.

Streptozotocin으로 당뇨를 유발시킨 생쥐에서 fructan(치커리이뉼린과 치커리이뉼린올리고당, 프럭토올리고당)이 혈당, 인슐린과 소장 및 신장의 이당류분해효소 활성 및 면역능에 미 치는 영향을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 혈당은 당뇨군들이 정상군보다 유의하게 높았으며, 치커리이뉼린군의 혈당이 당뇨대조군에 비하여 유의하게 낮았다. Fructan은 혈장 인슐린 농도에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 소장점막의 maltase와 sucrase활성은 당뇨군들이 정상군에 비하여 유의적으로 높았으나, 당뇨군 중에서 치커리이뉼린군이 가장 낮은 경향을 보였다. 신장 maltase 활성은 정상군과 당뇨군이 유사한 수준이었으나, 신장 sucrase와 lactase 활성은 정상군에 비하여 당뇨군에서 유의하게 높은 수준을 보였으며, 치커리이뉼린군이 당뇨대조군에 비하여 유의하게 낮은 수준을 보였다. LPS에 의한 비장세포증식에서는 당뇨대조군에 비하여 치커리이뉼린올리고당군이 유의 적으로 증가하여 정상군과 비슷한 수준을 보였다. ConA에의한 비장세포증식은 군간 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나 LPS에 의한 증식 결과와 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 비장세포로부터의 IL-2의 분비는 당뇨군들이 정상군에 비하여 낮았으나, 당뇨군간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 당뇨 생쥐에서 프럭토올리고당, 치커리이뉼린올리고당, 치커리이뉼린을 비교한 결과, 혈당 강하에 미치는 효과가 치커리이뉼린에서 유의하게 나타났으며, 비장세포 증식능은 정상군에 비하여 당뇨군에서 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 치커리이뉼린올리고당 섭취군이 당뇨대조군에 비해 비장세포 증식능이 유의하게 증가하여 면역능이 개선되는 효과를 보였다.

Six Holstein heifer calves weaned at 45 days-of-age were randomly allocated into high daily gain (1.1 kg/d, HDG) and low daily gain (0.56 kg/d, LDG) groups, and were slaughtered at 170 kg of live weight. Energy intake level in the feeding period was 2.4 $\times$ maintenance in 105 days for HDG and 1.4 $\times$ maintenance in 216 days for LDG calves. Total length of the small intestine was identical between groups, but both weights of the pancreas and of the small intestinal mucosa were greater (p < 0.01) for HDG calves. Alpha-amylase, lipase, proteinase, and trypsin activities of the whole pancreas were higher (p < 0.05) in HDG calves. Disaccharidase activity of the whole small intestinal mucosa was also higher (p < 0.10) for HDG than for LDG calves. However, the enzymatic activities, expressed as per gram or per protein of the pancreas and the small intestinal mucosa, were not affected (p > 0.10) by the plane of nutrition. These results suggest that the digestive enzyme activity in the small intestine varies primarily with the weight of tissues synthesizing the enzyme.

The present study was aimed at investigating the nutritional and physiological significance of rice bran as a source of dietary fiber as compared to pectin and wheat bran. The parameters for comparison included hypertrophy and morphology of intestines, stool weights and villus marker enzyme activity. For 6 weeks, 10 Sprague Dawley male rats were given one of six experimental diets: 1% cellulose control (CC), 5% pectin (P5), 5% rice bran(RB5), 10% rice bran(RB10), 5% wheat bran (WB5) or 10% wheat bran (WB10) based on the level of dietary fiber. Among experimental groups, food efficiency ratio and body weight gain was comparable. RB10 increased cecal and colonic tissue weights and content weights of cecum and colon as much as P5 did. Stool weight was positiviely correlated with colonic tissue weight (r=0.727, P<0.001), with colonic content weight(r=0.647, P<0.001). Small intestine length increased most in the P5 group, followed by the RB10 group. The scanning electron micrograph of jejunal villi from rice bran groups showed a leaf-shaped, smooth and regular pattern, whereas that of CC group produced a rather long shape. The wheat bran groups showed an irregular leafshaped pattern, and the pectin group typically produced leaf-shaped villi with surface damage. The activities of villus marker enzymes (maltase and sucrase) were higher in the bran-fed rats than in the control or pectin-fed rats. The results indicate than not only dietary fiber amounts but also fiber sources are closely related to the physiology and morphology of the large and small intestines in rats. Rice bran exerted effects on fecal output and trophic effects on the intestines similar to those of pectin.

본 연구에서 는 뽕잎과 누에가루의 함량 비를 달리 하여 제조한 환의 혈당강하 효과를 in vitro및 동물실험을 통해 검정 하고자 하였다. 실험 동물은 체중 100 g내외 의 Sprague-Dawley종 수컷 흰쥐를 이용하였으며, 제조환은 식이 내에 0.4%(4 ghg)씩 공급하였다. 실험군은 제조환의 종류에 따라 제조환을 공급하지 않은 당뇨 대조군(DM group), 뽕잎 100%로 제조한 군(M group), 뽕잎에 누에가루를 각각 25%(25SM group), 50%(50SM group), 75%(75SM group) 및 100%(100S group)씩 혼합하여 제조한 군으로 나누었다. 식이와 식수는 자유섭식시켰으며,3주 간 사육한 후 STZ로 당뇨를 유발시켰으며, 9일 만에 희생시켰다 제조된 혼합 환의 DNJ의 함량은 누에가루의 혼합 비율이 높을수록 증가되었다. GABA및 rutin의 함량은 뽕잎의 혼합 비율이 증가함에 따라 함유량이 증가되었다. in uitro에서 소장 점막의 $\alpha$-glucosidase의 활성 저해 효과도 뽕잎 에 누에가루를 50% 이상 혼합시켰을 때 혼합하지 않은 환과 2SSM 환보다 유의적으로 증가되었다. 혈당강하 효과는 DM군과 M군에 비해 누에가루를 혼합한 군에서 더 높았으며 특히 50%, 75% 및 100% 혼합한 군들에서는 유의적 인 혈당강하 효과를 나타내었다. 소장 점막 maltase 활성은 proximal 부분에서 DM군에 비하여 제조환 공급군 모두가 유의적으로 감소되었으며, 제조환 공급군 간에는 유의적인 차이는 없었다. Middle부분에서는 실험군 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. Distal 부분에서는 DM군에 비하여 제조환 공급군에서 감소되었으며, 특히 50SM군,75SM군 및 100S군에서 현저하게 감소하였다. Sucrase와 lactase의 경우에는 prorimal부분에서 DM군에 비하여 제조환 공급군에서 유의적으로 감소되었으며, middle 및 distal부분에서는 실험군 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 뽕잎과 누에가루를 혼합하여 제조한 환은 in vitro실험 에서 $\alpha$-glucosidase 활성 저해효과를 증가시켰으며, STZ 유발 당뇨 쥐의 소장 proximal 부분의 이 당류 분해 효소 활성을 억제함으로써 급속한 혈당상승을 억제하는 효과가 있었다. 이러한 효과는 뽕잎과 누에가루를 50 : 50의 동량으로 혼합시켰을 때 가장 좋은 것으로 관찰되었다.
