Abstract

Purpose: Our previous study demonstrated the hypoglycemic effects of mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaf and the underlying mechanisms. Here we explored the potency of mulberry twigs (TW) and root barks (RB) in postprandial hypoglycemic effects in vitro and in vivo. Methods: The major components of TW and RB were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Alpha-glucosidase inhibition and glucose/fructose uptake inhibition in Caco-2 cells were determined for TW, RB, and their major components, followed by an oral sugar tolerance test (OSTT) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Male Wistar rats were fed a high-fat diet for 2 weeks and then a single dose of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg B.W) was administered by intraperitoneal injection. Rats with fasting blood glucose levels above 126 mg/dL were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 8/group) for the following treatments by gavage for 4 weeks: vehicle (normal control and diabetic control), 200 mg/kg B.W of TW or RB or 100 mg/kg B.W of oxyresveratrol (OXY). Results: OXY and mulberroside A were identified as the major components of TW and OXY, mongolicin, and kuwanon H for RB. A significant inhibitory activity on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ was found for TW, RB, and OXY (p = 0.0099). There was a dose-dependent inhibition of TW and RB on the intestinal sugar uptakes in Caco-2 cells, showing a greater impact on fructose compared to glucose. The OSTT showed that TW and RB significantly delayed time to maximal concentration (p = 0.0088) and decreased maximal concentration (p = 0.0043) compared to the control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that TW and RB may have a postprandial hypoglycemic effect, particularly in the case of high fructose or sucrose intake. OXY was suggested as a contributor to the hypoglycemic effect of TW and RB. Further studies are needed for the systemic effect of TW and RB in circulation.

상지 및 상백피 추출물의 식후혈당조절 효과를 확인하기 위하여 Caco-2세포와 Streptozotocin 당뇨유발 동물을 사용하여 시험하였다. Caco-2 세포를 이용하여 상지 상백피 추출물의 포도당 및 과당 흡수 저해 능력을 확인하였으며, 특히 과당 흡수를 저해하는 효과가 강하게 나타났다. 말토오스와 수크로오스를 이용한 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ 분석을 통해 상지와 상백피 추출물 모두 수크로오스에 대한 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$의 강한 저해활성을 보였다. 시험동물 모델에서는 당뇨 유도를 위해 앞서 2주간 고지방 식이를 급여하였으며, streptozotocin 복강투여 후 공복혈당이 126 mg/dL 이상을 기준으로 하여 당뇨 유도모델이 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 상지 및 상백피 추추물을 단회투여 하여 경구 당부하 검사 결과, 30분대에서 당뇨유도군과 비교했을 때 상지와 상백피 추출물 섭취군에서 모두 혈당이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 또한 28일간 경구투여하여 경구당부하를 측정하였을 때 최고혈중농도에 도달하는 시간을 지연시키는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 상지 및 상백피 추출물은 식후혈당 조절을 통해 항당뇨 효과를 갖음을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 혈당강하를 목적으로 한 기능성 소재 개발 가능성으로 판단된다. 향후에는 상지 및 상백피 추출물이 췌장 및 간에서 혈당조절에 미치는 영향을 메커니즘 분석을 통해 추가적으로 연구해야 할 것으로 사료된다.
