Abstract

Cordyceps militaris, Artemisa capillaris, and Fagopyrum esculentum have been known to maintain normal blood sugar levels in folk medicine. We investigated the effects of these nutraceuticals extract supplementations on fasting and postprandial blood glucose in diabetes mellitus patients. The study population consisted of 50 diabetes subjects with a mean fasting blood glucose of 186.8${\pm}$6.2 mg/dl and postprandial blood glucose of 292.8${\pm}$10.3 mg/dl. They consumed 3 tea bags (3g per meal) of the extract of selected plants for 17 weeks. Patients treated with nutraceuticals extract supplementation showed a significant decrease of fasting blood glucose (118.4${\pm}$3.9 mg/dl) and postprandial blood glucose (160.5${\pm}$4.0 mg/dl) in 7 weeks. Nutraceticals extract supplemantation caused a significant decrease of 36.5% and 45% in fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, respectively, and also significantly decreased HbA1c levels. This study shows that extract of nutraceuticals supplementation significantly lowered the fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels in NIDDM patients. These effects presumably contribute to the hypoglycemic activity.

본 연구에서는 동충하초, 메밀쌀, 인진쑥 등 천연소재 혼합물 섭취가 당뇨병 환자의 혈당수준 및 당화혈색소 변화에 미치는 영향을 측정하였다. 천연소재 혼합물을 섭취한 후 공복혈당과 식후혈당이 각각 118.4${\pm}$3.9mg/dl, 160.5${\pm}$4.0mg/dl로 섭취 전에 비해 36.5%와 45.0%로 유의적인 감소를 보였으며, 대상자들의 혈당수준은 4주 이내에 정상범위에 도달하였다. 그러나 천연소재 혼합물의 섭취를 중단한지 3주 후에는 168.4${\pm}$6.2mg/dl 와 245.9${\pm}$7.8mg/dl로 유의적으로 증가하였고, 위약제품으로 전환하여 섭취시킨 7주후에는 실험시작 전의 혈당수준으로 돌아갔다. 대상자들의 당화혈색소는 7주간의 천연소재 혼합물을 섭취한 후 유의적으로 감소하였다. 결론적으로 7주 동안의 천연소재 혼합물의 섭취가 당뇨병 환자의 당질 대사에 긍정적인 효과를 미치는 것으로 관찰되었으므로 동충하초, 메밀쌀, 인진쑥이 첨가된 기능성 식품이 당뇨병의 치료 및 예방에서 유용한 것으로 판단된다.
