The antidiabetic effects of Rosa rugosa Radix were investigated in streptozotocine-induced diabetic rats. Research methods and procedure: In the present study, effects of oral administration of Rosa rugosa Radix extract(100, 250, and 500 mg/kg body wt.) for 28 days on the level of serum glucose, total cholosterol, triglycerides, cereatinine, aspartate amino transferase(AST) and alanine amino transferase(ALT) in normal and streotozotocine-induced diabetic rats were evaluated. Oral administrations of the Rosa rugosa Radix extract significantly decreased serum glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, AST, and ALT levels, while increased serum insulin and HDL-C in diabetic rats(p<0.05). The hypoglycemic effect of the Rosa rugosa Radix extract was more effective than normal group. It is concluded that the Rosa rugosa Radix must be considered as excellent candidate for future studies on diabetes mellitus.

Antihyperlipidemic and antihyperglycemic effects of Red Ginseng (RG, steamed and dried root of Panax ginseng C.A.Meyer, family Araliaceae), major component of which is ginsenoside Rg3, and Bifidodoterium-fermented RG (FRG), major component of which is ginsenoside Rh2, were investigated. Orally administered RG and FRG potently reduced the serum triglyceride levels in com-oil-induced hypertriglycemidemic mice as well as total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice. Of the saponin and polysaccharide fractions of RG and FRG, the polysaccharide fraction inhibited postprandial blood glucose elevation of maltose- or starch-loaded mice and reduced the blood triglyceride levels in com-oil-induced hypertriglycemidemic mice. The saponin fraction and its ginsenosides Rg3 and Rh2 reduced blood triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in Triton WR1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice. The inhibitory effect of FRG and its main constituents against hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia in mice were more potent than those of RG. These findings suggest that hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects of RG can be enforced by Bifidus fermentation and FRG may improve hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia.

Pharmacological effects of water extracts of Lycii Fructus, Lycii Folium and Lycii Cortex Radicis from Lycium chinensis were investigated. Lycii Folium significantly protected the hepatic function from damages orally caused by $CCl_4 $administration in mice and had a strong hypoglycemic effect in hyperglycemic mice induced by streptozotocin. Lycii Fructus decreased the blood pressure rise associated with the growth of normal rats. Lycii Cortex Radicis had a strong hypoglycemic effect in hyrerglycemic mice induced by streptozotocin. Also, hypolipidemic effects in hyperlipidemic rats induced by 1% cholesterol fed-diet and 75% fructose were significantly observed by oral administration of water extracts of Lycii Fructus, Lycii Folium and Lycii Cortex Radicis.

The antidiabetic efficacy of Enicostemma littorale Blume (chhota chirayata) aqueous extract was examined in newly diagnosed non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients taking only the extract and was administered as two divided doses, half an hour before meal as 5g of aqueous extract per single dose. Out of the 20 patients volunteered, 11 successfully completed the 2 month trial and a significant decrease in fasting & postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin levels were observed along with a significant improvement in the antioxidant parameters of the patients. There was also a significant increase in serum insulin levels in 7 patients after extract treatment as compared to levels before treatment. Serum total cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels were decreased significantly with a significant increase in serum HDLCholesterol levels. Other vital parameters remained stable and no side effects were observed. This is the first report showing the hypoglycemic, antioxidant and hypolipidemic properties of the aqueous extract of E. littorale Blume in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients.

생약재(백복령, 사인 및 창출) 추출물을 동량으로 혼합한 것에 와송 추출물을 첨가하여 만든 복합물이 당뇨쥐의 혈당강하 및 혈중 지질 성분 변화에 미치는 영향을 실험하였다. 정상군, 당뇨 대조군, 생약재 혼합물 급여군(D-MH), 생약재 혼합물과 와송 추출물의 1:1 복합물 급여군(D-MHOA) 및 1:3 복합물 급여군(D-MHOB)으로 구분하여 4주간 실험 사육하였다. 실험 사육 4주 후 체중의 증가량은 모든 실험군이 당뇨 대조군에 비해 증가되었으나, D-MHOB군에서만 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 실험 사육 기간 동안 공복 혈당은 실험 식이의 급여 2주 후부터 모든 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 유의적인 감소를 보였으며, 2~3주 동안에는 D-MH군과 D-MHOA군 간에 비슷한 수준이었다. 4주 후에는 D-MHOB군의 공복 혈당이 가장 낮았다. 내당능 측정 결과, 포도당 급여 60분에 모든 실험군에서 최고 혈당치를 보였으나, 생약재 혼합물 및 와송의 복합물 급여군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 개선되었다. 당화 헤모글로빈 함량은 정상군(3.9%)에 비해 대조군이 약 1.9배 증가되었으며, D-MH군에 비해 D-MHOA 및 D-MHOB군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 생약재에 대한 와송의 첨가량이 많을수록 혈청 총 지질 및 총 콜레스테롤 함량은 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었으나, HDL-C 함량은 D-MHOB군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. GPT 활성은 D-MHOB군이 여타의 실험군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다. 생약재 혼합물 급여군에 비해서 와송 추출물의 첨가군에서 지질과산화물 함량은 감소되었으나 와송의 첨가량에 따른 유의차는 작았다. 항산화 활성은 와송의 첨가량에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다. 따라서 와송은 생약재 혼합물에 첨가됨으로써 혈당 저하 및 지질 개선 효과를 증가시키는 것으로 확인되었다.

Saururus chinensis Baill was reported to inhibit ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ in vitro and flatten postprandial increase in blood glucose in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. We studied the effect of chronic consumption of S. chinensis Baill on blood glucose and lipid profile in STZ-induced diabetic male rats fed high fat diet. Male rats weighing 100-120 g were fed 30% fat diet with and without 10% freeze-dried leaves of S. chinensis Baill for 7 weeks after 1 week of adaptation. The rats were rendered diabetic by intravenous injection of STZ (60 mg/kg) after 6-week feeding of the assigned diets. At 1 week after the injection, the rats were sacrificed after an overnight fast. Plasma glucose ($380.2{\pm}14.4mg/dL$), total cholesterol ($93.9{\pm}7.9mg/dL$) and triglyceride levels ($123.6{\pm}7.5mg/dL$) of the S. chinensis Baill group were significantly lower than those of the control group ($418.1{\pm}12.0mg/dL,\;119.9{\pm}9.4mg/dL,\;152.0{\pm}10.3mg/dL$, respectively, p<0.05). Chronic consumption of S. chinesis Baill significantly decreased maltase activity of the small intestinal mucosa ($120.1{\pm}8.7U/g$) protein compared with the control group ($96.8{\pm}7.0U/g protein, p<0.05). These results suggest that S. chinensis Baill have hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects by inhibiting ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity in the animal model of diabetes mellitus.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of bacteria-derived $\beta$-glucan fiber on serum lipids, adiposity and uncoupling protein (UCP) expression in rats. In order to induce obesity, Sprague-Dawley weanling male rats were allowed free access to AIN-76A diet until 4 weeks of age, and fed high-fat diet (beef tallow, $40\%$ of calories as fat) for 6 weeks until 10 weeks of age. Rats were then fed with $0\%$ thigh- fat control group), $1\%$, or $5\%$ bacterial ~-glucan supplemented high-fat diets (w/w) for another 6 weeks. For comparison, normal control group was fed with AIN-76 diet $11.7\%$ fat). Supplementation with bacterial $\beta$-glucan resulted in a significant reduction of high-fat-induced white fat (i.e., visceral and peritoneal fat) development, adipocyte hypertrophy, and development of hyperinsulinemia and hyperleptinemia. Serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, and free fatty acid levels were greatly reduced, but, HDL-cholesterol concentrations were increased by bacterial $\beta$-glucan supplementation. Serum leptin level was lower in the $\beta$-glucan groups than in the high-fat group. The expression of UCPs (UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) were significantly increased by $5\%$ bacterial $\beta$-glucan-containing diet. This study suggests that the anti-obesity effect of $5\%$ bacterial $\beta$-glucan is attributed to upregulation of UCPs and inefficient energy utilization.

곤달비 메탄올 추출물은 100mg/kg 및 200mg/kg의 경구투여로 STZ로 유도된 당뇨병의 제반 증상을 완화하였다. 즉, STZ의 투여는 흰쥐의 체중, 수분 섭취, 식이섭취를 증가시켰으며, 혈당량, 혈청 triglyceride 량, 동맥경화 위험지수를 증가시켰으나, 곤달비 추출물의 투여는 이러한 당뇨병에 관련된 증상을 개선하였다. 이와 더불어, 위의 당뇨병 모델 쥐에서 당내성 실험에서도 곤달비 추출물이 현저한 효과를 나타내었으므로 혈당의 세포내 이행을 촉진시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 이상과 같은 결과로부터 곤달비 추출물은 당뇨병 및 그에 따르는 고지혈증에 유효하였으므로 당뇨병 질환의 완화를 위하여 사용될 수 있는 산채 식품인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 곤달비의 활성 물질의 입증과 그 이용에 관한 계속적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 생각된다.
