본 연구는 바나바 잎 추출 용매에 따른 항당뇨 효과에 관한 것으로 세포 독성 실험을 통하여 인체에 대한 독성이 없음을 확인하였고 $\beta$-cell 인슐린 분비 실험을 통하여 항당뇨 효과를 알아보았다. 또한 당뇨 유발쥐를 이용한 인슐린 분비 실험, 체중변화 측정, 혈중 및 혈청의 glucose 농도, 총콜레스테롤 수치, HDL-cholesterol 농도, triglyceride 농도, free fatty acid 농도, langerhans islet에서의 인슐린 분비 의 확인을 통해 혈당조절 효과를 비교하였다. 물 혹은 에탄올을 단독으로 이용하여 추출한 추출물이나 70%, 90% 에탄올로 추출한 추출물 보다 열수로 먼저 추출한 후 에탄올로 다시 추출하여 혼합안 추출물이 항당뇨 효과가 더 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다. 이는 친수성(hydrophilic) 유효성분들과 소수성(hydrophobic) 유효성분들의 추출 유무나 함량에 의한 것이다. 특히, 많은 문헌에 언급된 코로소린산이라는 단일 성분(unique)에 의한 항당뇨 효과라기보다는 친수성 및 소수성 폴리페놀 및 항산화성분과 같은 유효성분들이 조합되어(mixture) 항당뇨 효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

Banaba, Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. (Lythraceae) is a tree that grows in the tropic islands of the Pacific. This plants are used for medical purposes in the world. The components of L. speciosa were analyzed for the contents according to growing stages at leaves. The distributions of the corosolic acid ($2{\alpha}$, $3{\beta}$-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid), phytol, campestrol, and vitamin E were rich among samples in this study. These were contained much fatty acids. The mean content of palmitic acid was from 2.4% across all growing stages, varying from 2.15% for young leaves with the lowest content and 2.86% for fallen leaves with the highest content. Oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid were contained nearly mean 2.0% in all leaves of banaba. Our results have shown that the phytochemical profile of young L. speciosa leaves differs quite radically from that of old L. speciosa leaves. In addition, these subdividing results according to plant growth should allow future researches to conduct targeted experimental studies and use of particular medical components of interest, examining chemical variation on the inter-developmental levels.

구아바(Psidium guajava L.)와 바나바(Lagerstroemia speciosa L.)는 항당뇨 효과를 갖는 대표적인 약용식물로 알려져 있다. 이들 식물은 다양한 폴리페놀(polyphenol) 성분을 함유하며 당뇨병의 치료에 효과적으로 작용한다. 따라서 본 연구는 이들 추출물을 streptozotocin (STZ)으로 당뇨를 유발한 실험쥐에 섭취시켜 항당뇨 효과를 상호 비교하였다. STZ으로 당뇨를 유발한 실험쥐에 구아바 및 바나바 잎 추출물을 섭취시킨 결과 당뇨쥐에 비해 혈당은 약 19-32%, 총콜레스테롤(total cholesterol)은 약 24-46%, 중성지방(triglyceride)은 22-67% 그리고 유리지방산(free fatty acid) 은 49-71% 감소하였고 또한 인슐린 분비와 췌장에 존재하는 베타세포의 회복도 증가되었다. 한편 구아바 추출물의 섭취가 바나바 추출물의 섭취에 비해 항당뇨 효과가 더 높았는데 그 이유는 바나바 잎에 포함된 친수성 폴리페놀(polyphenol) 성분이 에탄올 추출과정에서 대부분 추출되지 않았고 또한 추출된 코로소릭산(corosolic acid) 은 지금까지 알려진 것과는 달리 항당뇨 활성이 낮았기 때문이다.

In this study, we determined the glycemic index (GI) of an herbal preparation (Insu $100^{(R)}$; Korean red ginseng, carob, mulberry, and banaba). Ten subjects (men and women) took part in standard glycemic testing during a 4-week study period (with duplicate trials of each treatment). Informed consent was obtained from each subject. No adverse effects resulted from the administration of the herbal preparation. The GI of Insu $100^{(R)}$ was $19.5{\pm}5.1$, indicating that administration of this herbal cocktail may be beneficial to people with metabolic disorders and to those who wish to maintain their overall health. This study complied with the Declaration of Helsinki.

This study was conducted to determine if supplementation with a compound composed of caffeine (50 mg), capsaicin (75 mg), sesamine (30 mg), L-carnitine (300 mg), banaba (50 mg) and lotus (10 mg) enhanced human autonomic nervous activities (ANS) associated with thermogenic sympathetic activity and fat utilization. Ten healthy college males (21.2$\pm$1.0 yr) volunteered for this experiment. Autonomic nervous activities associated with energy metabolism were examined at 30 min intervals for a total of 120-min while at rest and every 5-min during exercise at 50% of the ventilation threshold before and after intake of the compound or placebo with 100 ml of water for 10 days. In addition, heart rate variability power spectral analysis was used to assess human autonomic nervous activities. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in heart rate during rest and exercise among trials. Furthermore, the autonomic nervous activity tended to increase after 10-days of consumption of the test compounds during the experimental period, but the differences did not reach statistical significance. However, before and after the compound test trial there was a significantly higher respiratory gas exchange ratio (rest 0: 0.83$\pm$0.01 vs. rest 3: 0.89$\pm$0.02, p<0.05), carbohydrate oxidation (CHO) rate (rest 0: 44.57$\pm$5.83 vs. rest 2: 63.86$\pm$5.91%, p<0.05) and a lower fat oxidation rate (rest 0: 55.43$\pm$5.83 vs. rest 2: 36.14$\pm$5.91%, p<0.05. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that the compound composed of caffeine, capsaicin, sesamine, L-carnitine, banaba and lotus components that was evaluated in this study did not induce a significant increase in human autonomic nervous activities or lipolysis, even though the individual components have been reported to induce increased fat oxidation.

HbA1c test measures the amount of glycated hemoglobin in blood. HbA1c shows the average of blood glucose levels for the past three months, this is a better indicator of how overall diabetes is doing. HbA1c gives a much better idea of how the body is breaking down the glucose. Therefore, this HbA1c is very important tool for maintaining normal glucose levels for pre-and diabetic patients. Total 408 participants were tested HbA1c voluntarily from Chosunilbo Health Expo (8th~11th, July 2010). Through this small-scaled direct HbA1c, about 54.7% (207 out of 408) was shown glucose tolerance and diabetes. However, 61 from 157 participants who were shown under 6.9% HbA1c (normal and pre-diabetic stage) are taking only antidiabetic drugs to maintain a normal blood glucose. Regular HbA1c test can bring an important management and awareness about controlling blood sugar level and prevention of diabetic complications.

Corosolic acid (CA), a triterpenoid compound isolated from Lagerstroemia speciosa L. (Banaba) leaves, exerts anti-inflammatory effects by regulating phosphorylation of interleukin receptor- associated kinase (IRAK)-2 via the NF-κB cascade. However, the protective effect of CA against endotoxic shock has not been reported. LPS (200 ng/mL, 30 min) induced phosphorylation of IRAK-1 and treatment with CA (10 μM) significantly attenuated this effect. In addition, CA also reduced protein levels of NLRP3 and ASC which are the main components of the inflammasome in BMDMs. LPS-induced inflammasome assembly through activation of IRAK-1 was down-regulated by CA challenge. Treatment with Bay11-7082, an inhibitor of IκB-α, had no effect on CA-mediated inhibition of IRAK-1 activation, indicating that CA-mediated attenuation of IRAK-1 phosphorylation was independent of NF-κB signaling. These results demonstrate that CA ameliorates acute inflammation in mouse BMDMs and CA may be useful as a pharmacological agent to prevent acute inflammation.

혈당 강하 요구르트의 개발을 위해 Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus와 Lactobacillus acidophilus145, bifido-bacterium infantis 혼합균주에 사균인 FK-23 유산구균, 피니톨, 식이섬유, 백강낭콩 추출 분말, 에리스리톨, 바나바 추출물 등의 기능성 성분을 포함한 요구르트를 제조하여 정상인과 혈당치가 높은 당뇨환자를 대상으로 간이 임상시험을 실시하였다. 1. 정상인의 식후 혈당치는 일반 요구르트를 섭취했을 때보다 혈당 강하 요구르트 음용 시 더 낮게 측정되었으여 임상대상자 대부분에서 동일한 현상이 나타났다. 2. 혈당치가 높은 당뇨환자 10명을 대상으로 식후 혈당치변화 및 음용기간 중 혈당치 변화를 확인한 결과 혈당 강하요구르트를 음용하기 전보다 음용 후 혈당치가 식후 30분, 식후 60분, 식후 120분 각각 19 mg/dL, 30 mg/dL, 31 mg/dL 감소하였다. 또한, 혈당 증가 억제율도 임상대상자의 80%가 감소하는 효과를 나타냈다. 3. 30일간 혈당 강하 요구르트를 음용한 후 식후 혈당치의 변화를 확인한 결과 음용전보다 음용 후 120분 경과 때, 혈당치가 59 mg/dL 감소하였으며 음용기간이 증가할수록 지속적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.
