Antidiabetic activity of Mori folium ethanol soluble fraction (MFESF) was examined in db/db mice, which is a spontaneously hyperglycemic, hyperinsulinemic and obese animal model . 500 and 1000mg/kg dose for MFFSF (designated by SY 500 and SY 1000, respectively) and 5mg/kg dose for acarbose were administered for 6 weeks. Body weight gain, fasting and non-fasting serum glucose, glycated hemoglobin and triglyceride were all reduced dose dependently when compared between db/db control group and MFESF treated group. At 11th and 13th week after birth, MFESF increased an insulin secretion which may result in lowering serum glucose level. Total activities of sucrase and maltase in SY 500 treated group were decreased when compared to db/db control. On the other hand, those in SY 1000 and acarbose treated groups were increased. This result may suggest that proteins for sucrase and maltase were compensatorily induced due to significant inhibition of glycosidase-catalyzed reaction at doses administered in this study.

To investigate the effect of Korean red ginseng (KRG) on male sexual function and serum lipid level, the results of KRG treatments were compared to placebo group. A total of 35 patients with psychogenic impotence were assigned to medication group with KRG (n=28) and placebo (n=7). KRG and placebo were given to each group for 2 months. Changes in symptoms such as frequency of coitus, morning erection, penile rigidity and tumescence were significantly higher in the group receiving KRG than placebo group. The overall therapeutic efficacies on erectile function were 67% for KRG group and 28% for placebo group (p <0.05). In the group treated with 9 tablets of KRG, there was tendency of better efficacy as compared to the group treated with 6 tablets of KRG. The level of serum high density lipid- cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) was significantly elevated (p < 0.05) while the other serum lipid such as total cholesterol, tiglyceride and low density lipid-cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) , were not changed after administration of KRG. This effect was observed significantly in the group in which KRG exerted its effect on sexual function(p < 0.05). From the above results, the administration of Korean red ginseng has shown to have superior of facts as compared to the placebo. The tendency of good effect was increased when a large amount of KRG was administered. The mechanism of KRG in improving sexual function would be the result of elevating the level of geum HDL-cholesterol in impotent patients. The effect of KRG was produced when the level of cholesterol was high before starting KRG medication. Therefore, the effect of KRG could be observed more intensively when the patients have high serum cholesterol level.

Sprague-Dawely계$(165{\pm}20\;g)$ 수컷 흰쥐를 난괴법에 따라 각 군당 6마리씩 C군(일반사료), 1G군(일반사료+1% 녹차물), L-1G군(돈지+1% 녹차물), L-3G군 (돈지+3% 녹차물), LC군(돈지+콜레스테롤), LC-1G군(돈지+콜레스테롤+l% 녹차물), LC-3G군(돈지+콜레스데롤+3% 녹차물) 등 7개군으로 나누어 고콜레스데롤을 초래하는 식이인 1% 콜레스테롤과 10 g의 라아드를 첨가한 식이와 함께 1%와 3% 농도의 녹차를 4주 동안 급여하여 혈청지질 및 콜레스테롤 수준과 간지방 침착정도을 조사하였다. 식이 평균 섭취량은 L-1G군, L-3G군, LC군, LC-1G군, LC-3G군은 C군과 1G군에 비해 전체적으로 낮았으며 녹차 평균 음용량은 모든군에서 $195.61{\sim}213.28\;mL$ 음용하여 증류수와 녹차의 농도에 따른 각 군간에는 차이가 없었다. 체중 증가량은 LC군 195 g으로 다른 모든군에 비하여 가장 높았고 특히 L-3G군 100 g에 비해서는 2배정도의 차이가 나타났다 식이효율은 LC군이 0.45로 모든군에 비해 높았으며 특히 1G군, LC-1G군에 비해 높았다. 혈청의 지질농도에서 TC수준은 LC군 68.67mg/dl, 1G군 48.33 mg/dl으로 LC군이 모든군에 비하여 높았으며 특히 1G군과는 차이를 나타냈다. 혈청의 HDL-C는 1G군이 61.00 mg/dl, L-lG군이 34.20 mg/dl로 1G 군이 TC수준과는 반대로 가장 높았으며(p<0.01) L-3G군, LC군, LC-1G군, LC-3G군이 비슷한 수준으로 낮았으나 C군과 L-1G군보다는 낮았다. HDL-C에 대한 TC의 비율은 1G군 0.79, LC군 1.68로 C군과 LC군에 비해 녹차를 음용한 1G군, LC-3G군, L-3G군, LC-1G군, L-1G군 순으로 낮았고 특히 HDL-C가 가장 높은 1G군이 낮았다. TG농도는 LC군 113.80 mg/dl로 모든 군에 비해 가장 높았으나 특히 3% 녹차 음용군인 L-3G군, LC-3G군은 낮았다. PL농도는 C군 152.00 mg/dl, LC군 148.67 mg/이, 1G군 119.00 mg/dl로 C군과 LC군은 모든 군에서 높았으나 특히 1G군과 LC-3G군은 낮았다. 간장의 총지질 함량은 LC군 8.16% 모든 군에서 높았으며 1G군이 3.68%로 가장 낮았다. 간조직의 지방침착 정도는 대조군은 oil red O 양성액포가 간소엽 전체에 매우 미약하고 작은 구상형태로 세포질에서 적색으로 관찰되어 거의 정상에 가까웠다. LC군은 모든 다른군의 oil red O 소견에 비해 양성 액포수도 많았고 액포의 크기도 가장 크게 나타나 지방침착이 심해졌음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 비해 즉차음용군은 oil red O 양성 액포수와 액포의 크기가 적어져 $55.6{\sim}75.7%$로 감소되어 지방침착의 감소경향을 보였다.
