The major goal in the treatment of diabetes mellitus is to achieve near-normal glycemic control. To optimize both fasting blood glucose and postprandial glucose levels is important in keeping blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible. ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$ is the enzyme that digests dietary carbohydrate, and inhibition of this enzyme could suppress postprandial hyperglycemia. The purpose of this study was to test the inhibitory activity of methanol extract of Euonymus alatus on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ in vitro and in vivo to evaluate its possible use as an anti-diabetic agent. Yeast ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities of methanol extract of E. alatus were measured at concentrations of 0.50, 0.25, 0.10, and 0.05 mg/ml. The ability of E. alatus to lower postprandial glucose was studied in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. A starch solution (1 g/kg) with and without E. alatus extract (500 mg/kg) was administered to diabetic rats by gastric intubation after an overnight fast. Plasma glucose levels were measured at 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240 min. Plasma glucose levels were expressed in increments from baseline, and incremental areas under the response curve were calculated. Extract of E. alatus, which had an $IC_{50}$ value of 0.272 mg/ml, inhibited yeast ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity in a concentration-dependent manner. A single oral dose of E. alatus extract significantly inhibited increases in blood glucose levels at 60 and 90 min (p<0.05) and significantly decreased incremental response areas under the glycemic response curve (p<0.05). These results suggest that E. alatus has an antihyperglycemic effect by inhibiting ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity in this animal model of diabetes mellitus.

본 연구는 자일로올리고당을 설탕에 적용하여 임상시험을 통해 자일로올리고당 첨가량에 따른 설탕의 GI 저감효과와 혈당저감효과를 확인하였다. 건강한 성인 남녀 11명를 대상으로 표준식품인 포도당과 비교하여 분말 자일로올리고당을 14% 함유한 Xylo 14과 분말 자일로올리고당을 20% 함유한 Xylo 20을 섭취 후 표준식품과 비교식품의 IAUC를 통해 GI를 산출한 결과 Xylo 14는 $60.0{\pm}23.5$로 Medium GI 식품으로 나타났으며, Xylo 20은 $54.3{\pm}17.7$로 Low GI 식품으로 나타났다. 순수한 설탕의 GI 68과 비교하면 각각 11.8%와 20.1% 혈당상승 저감효과를 나타낼 수 있었다. AUC는 15~90분까지 모든 구간에서 유의적인 차이 (p < 0.05)를 나타내었다. 따라서 Xylo 14와 Xylo 20은 혈당 저감효과를 나타냄과 동시에 7~10 g 이상 섭취하면 자일로올리고당의 1일 유효섭취량도 만족시킬 수 있으므로 기능성 설탕으로서의 활용이 기대된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia should be controlled to avoid complications of diabetes mellitus. This study investigated the effects of autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.) berry (AOB) on fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia in mice. MATERIALS/METHODS: In vitro ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory effect of AOB was determined. Maltose solution (2 g/kg) with and without AOB extract at 500 mg/kg or acarbose at 50 mg/kg was orally administered to normal mice after overnight fasting and glucose levels were measured. To study the effects of chronic consumption of AOB, db/db mice received the basal diet or a diet containing AOB extract at 0.4% or 0.8%, or acarbose at 0.04% for 7 weeks. Blood glycated hemoglobin and serum glucose and insulin levels were measured. Expression of adiponectin protein in epididymal white adipose tissue was determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: In vitro inhibitory effect of AOB extract on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was 92% as strong as that of acarbose. The AOB extract (500 mg/kg) or acarbose (50 mg/kg) significantly suppressed the postprandial rise of blood glucose after maltose challenge and the area under the glycemic response curve in normal mice. The AOB extract at 0.4% or 0.8% of diet or acarbose at 0.04% of diet significantly lowered levels of serum glucose and blood glycated hemoglobin and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance values in db/db mice. The expression of adiponectin protein in adipose tissue was significantly elevated by the consumption of AOB at 0.8% of diet. CONCLUSIONS: Autumn olive (E. umbellata Thunb.) berry may reduce postprandial hyperglycemia by inhibiting ${\alpha}$-glucosidase in normal mice. Chronic consumption of AOB may alleviate fasting hyperglycemia in db/db mice partly by inhibiting ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and upregulating adiponectin expression.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of the treatment of diabetes mellitus is the attainment of glycemic control. Hyperglycemia increases oxidative stress which contributes to the progression of diabetic complications. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects of Daraesoon (Actinidia arguta shoot) in animal models of diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS/METHODS: Rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes received an oral administration of a starch solution (1 g/kg) either with or without a 70% ethanol extract of Daraesoon (400 mg/kg) or acarbose (40 mg/kg) after an overnight fast and their postprandial blood glucose levels were measured. Five-week-old C57BL/6J mice were fed either a basal or high-fat/high-sucrose (HFHS) diet with or without Daraesoon extract (0.4%) or acarbose (0.04%) for 12 weeks after 1 week of adaptation to determine the effects of the chronic consumption of Daraesoon on fasting hyperglycemia and antioxidant status. RESULTS: Compared to the control group, rats that received Daraesoon extract (400 mg/kg) or acarbose (40 mg/kg) exhibited a significant reduction in the area under the postprandial glucose response curve after the oral ingestion of starch. Additionally, the long-term consumption of Daraesoon extract or acarbose significantly decreased serum glucose and insulin levels as well as small intestinal maltase activity in HFHS-fed mice. Furthermore, the consumption of Daraesoon extract significantly reduced thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and increased glutathione levels in the livers of HFHS-fed mice compared to HFHS-fed mice that did not ingest Daraesoon. CONCLUSIONS: Daraesoon effectively suppressed postprandial hyperglycemia via the inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Chronic consumption of Daraesoon alleviated fasting hyperglycemia and oxidative stress in mice fed a HFHS diet.

본 연구는 10 주 동안 건강한 20대 성인 남녀 14명을 대상으로 D-리보오스 함유 비율이 다른 설탕 (D-리보오스 5%, 10%, 14% 함유) 섭취가 혈당 반응과 GI에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 혈당 저감화 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 설탕과 D-리보오스함유 설탕의 혈당반응값을 비교하였을 때 D-리보오스 함유 설탕인 RB5, RB10, RB14 순으로 낮아졌으며 RB10, RB14는 설탕에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 혈당반응값을 보였다. 백설탕, RB5, RB10, RB14의 GI는 각각 67.39, 67.07, 47.57, 45.62로 설탕과 RB5는 중 GI 식품으로, RB10과 RB14는 저 GI 식품으로 분류되었으며, RB10, RB14의 GI는 설탕과 RB5의 GI에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다. 혈당 변화에 따른 Cmax를 보면 포도당 61.73 mg/dL에 비해 RB5, RB10, RB14가 각각 49.43 mg/dL, 37.25 mg/dL, 35.15 mg/dL로 유의적으로낮았으나, 설탕의 Cmax 58.18 mg/dL과 비교 시 RB10, RB14의 Cmax는 유의적으로 낮았으나, RB5와는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 D-리보오스 함유 설탕의 혈당 상승 억제 효과는 D-리보오스를 5% 함유 시 보다는 D-리보오스를 10% 이상 함유할 때 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 D-리보오스를 10%, 14% 함유한 설탕의 GI값과 혈당 변화율이 유사하게 나타나고 있으므로 D-리보오스 14% 함유보다는 D-리보오스 10% 함유하는 것이 혈당 저감화 효과 및 비용적인 측면을 고려할 때 기능성 설탕의 비율로 더 적절할 것으로 사료된다.

This study determined the effects of added buckwheat extract on the rate of corn starch hydrolysis in vitro as well as blood glucose responses through its supplementation in healthy subjects. The rate of corn starch hydrolysis in the presence or absence of various buckwheat extracts was determined in an in vitro enzyme/dialysis system for 2 hr. The buckwheat was extracted by water, ethanol(40%, 70%, 100%) and methanol(40%, 70%, 100%), respectively. Twenty percent(w/w) additions of the ethanol, methanol and water buckwheat extract to corn starch solution significantly reduced the starch hydrolysis at every minute for 2 hr(p<0.05). The calculated hydrolysis indices of the buckwheat extracts were in the order of 100% ethanol extract(50), 100% methanol(54), 40% ethanol(58), 40% methanol(62), 70% methanol(64), 70% ethanol(68), water (82). For the blood glucose response study, groups of 12 volunteers were given 50 g of boiled rice with or without buckwheat extract(10% and 20% of starch weight) using the 100%, 70%, and 40% ethanol extracts, respectively. The addition of each buckwheat ethanol extract significantly reduced blood glucose concentrations at three or more points during 2 hr and also reduced the mean peak rise and area under the blood glucose curve(p<0.05). The calculated glycemic index(GI) values for all ethanol buckwheat extract groups were significantly decreased compared to the control(rice). At the concentrations of 20%, the buckwheat 100% ethanol extracts lowered the GI by 68%. The 100% ethanol extract was more effective than the 70% and 40% extracts for reducing GI. Therefore, the 100% ethanol buckwheat extract would be the most therapeutically useful in modifying postprandial hyperglycemia.

구기자는 식용가능하고 제2형 당뇨병 합병증인 지방간분해, 고혈압 및 고혈당에 효능이 있다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 당 대사 및 지질 대사에 작용하는 정확한 기작에 대한 연구는 아직 미비하기에 탄수화물 소화효소인 ${\alpha}$-amylase와 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase의 저해활성 및 정상생쥐를 이용한 혈당강하 효과와 3T3-L1 adipocyte를 통하여 비만축적 억제효과를 보았다. 구기자 추출은 80% MeOH, 70% EtOH 및 열수추출하였으며 이들 중 ${\alpha}$-amylase 50% 저해 활성($IC_{50}$)은 saliva ${\alpha}$-amylase에서 acarbose, 80% MeOH, 70% EtOH, aqueous(7.04, 3.19, 3.20, 3.66 mg/mL), pacreas ${\alpha}$-amylase acarbose, 80% MeOH, 70% EtOH, aqueous(10.97, 4.16, 3.07, 3.55 mg/mL)로 saliva ${\alpha}$-amylase에선 acarbose보다 80% MeOH, 70% EtOH 추출물이 가장 낮은 농도에서 $IC_{50}$값을 나타냈고 pacreas ${\alpha}$-amylase에서는 70% EtOH 추출물이 가장 낮은 농도에서 $IC_{50}$값을 나타냈다. 또한 10 ${\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 yeast ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성저해 $IC_{50}$값은 80% MeOH, 70% EtOH, aqueous(5.01, 4.98, 4.80 ${\mu}g/mL$)로 구기자 추출물 모두 acarbose(5.05)보다 우수한 $IC_{50}$값을 나타냈다. 정상생쥐에게 탄수화물 소화효소의 저해활성이 높은 70% EtOH 추출물을 전분과 함께 경구투여 한 후 내당능을 측정한 결과, 전분과 함께 100, 200 mg/kg body weight를 경구투여 한 경우, 대조군에 비해 투여 후 30, 60, 90, 120분에 혈당 증가가 낮았다. 또한 추출물을 100 mg보다 200 mg 투여하였을 경우 대조군에 비해 각각 19% 및 40%씩 저하되었으며, 120분에는 대조군 수준이 되었다. 그리고 3T3-L1 adipocyte에서 비만축적 억제효과를 측정한 결과 70% EtOH 추출물 농도가 증가함에 따라 leptin, 중성지방 농도가 감소하였고 유리지방산 농도는 증가하였다. 이상의 연구 결과 구기자 추출물 중 70% EtOH는 acarbose보다 높은 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, ${\alpha}$-amylase 저해활성을 나타냈으며, 정상생쥐를 통해 식후 혈당증가를 저하시키는 효과를 확인하였고 GLUT4 발현 역시 증가함을 확인했다. 이를 통해 구기자 추출물이 지방축적 억제와 인슐린 저항성 억제 및 혈당강하 기전을 확인하여 제2형 당뇨병 개선에 효과적인 것으로 판단, 추후 더 연구하여 보다 더 정확한 성분을 조사할 필요성이 있다고 사료된다.
