Cordyceps, an entomopathogenic fungus, contains many health-promoting ingredients. Recent reports indicate that the consumption of cordyceps helps reduce blood-sugar content in diabetics. However, the mechanism underlying this reduction in circulatory sugar content is not fully understood. Methanolic extracts were prepared from the fruiting bodies of Paecilomyces tenuipes, and 4-beta acetoxyscirpendiol (4-ASD) was eventually isolated and purified. $Na^+$/Glucose transporter-1 (SGLT-1) was expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and the effect of 4-ASD on SGLT-1 was analyzed utilizing a voltage clamp and by performing 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG) uptake studies. 4-ASD was shown to significantly inhibit SGLT-1 activity compared to the non-treated control in a dose-dependent manner. In the presence of the derivatives of 4-ASD (diacetoxyscirpenol or 15-acetoxyscirpendiol), SGLT-1 activity was greatly inhibited in an 4-ASD-like manner. Of these derivatives, 15-acetoxyscirepenol inhibited SGLT-1 as well as 4-ASD, whereas diacetoxyscirpenol was slightly less effective. Taken together, these results strongly indicate that 4-ASD in P. tenuipes may lower blood sugar levels in the circulatory system. We conclude that 4-ASD and its derivatives are effective SGLT-1 inhibitors.

HbA1c test measures the amount of glycated hemoglobin in blood. HbA1c shows the average of blood glucose levels for the past three months, this is a better indicator of how overall diabetes is doing. HbA1c gives a much better idea of how the body is breaking down the glucose. Therefore, this HbA1c is very important tool for maintaining normal glucose levels for pre-and diabetic patients. Total 408 participants were tested HbA1c voluntarily from Chosunilbo Health Expo (8th~11th, July 2010). Through this small-scaled direct HbA1c, about 54.7% (207 out of 408) was shown glucose tolerance and diabetes. However, 61 from 157 participants who were shown under 6.9% HbA1c (normal and pre-diabetic stage) are taking only antidiabetic drugs to maintain a normal blood glucose. Regular HbA1c test can bring an important management and awareness about controlling blood sugar level and prevention of diabetic complications.

Objectives: This study examined the effects of nutrition education and exercise therapies on the hematological status and diabetes knowledge of diabetic patients. For this purpose, a 12-week intensive management program was provided to diabetic patients participating in an exercise program in S health subcenter in Kwangju city and the effects were analyzed. Methods: The subjects were 26 diabetic patients, who provided written informed consent. As a preliminary survey, this study examined the general characteristics, physical status, obesity, blood pressure, hematological status, daily activity level, diabetes knowledge, diet performance, and barriers to diet therapy. After the 12-week intensive management program was completed, a post-test was conducted in the same way as the preliminary test. The data were analyzed with using SPSS 18.0. The data from this study are presented as the mean${\pm}$standard deviation. A paired t-test was conducted to compare differences in the means before and after the program. Statistical significance was set to p<0.05. Results: The results of the program are presented as follows. The HDL-cholesterol levels changed from $39.8{\pm}10.5mg/dL$ to $48.3{\pm}13.1mg/dL$, showing a significant increase (p<0.001). The blood sugar 2 hours after a meal changed from $175.2{\pm}67.1mg/dL$ to $140.5{\pm}42.5mg/dL$, showing a significant decrease (p=0.014). The glycosylated hemoglobin levels decreased significantly from $6.7{\pm}1.1%$ to $6.3{\pm}1.0%$ (p=0.010). The total scores of the daily activity levels increased significantly from $3.8{\pm}2.4$ to $4.8{\pm}2.5$ (p=0.040). The scores of knowledge on diabetes increased from $11.5{\pm}3.6$ to $14.0{\pm}3.8$ (p=0.001). The scores of knowledge on diet therapy changed from $6.7{\pm}2.2$ to $7.9{\pm}1.7$, showing a significant increase (p=0.027). Conclusions: The 12-week intensive management program intervened by nutrition education and exercise therapies induced positive changes to the HDL-cholesterol, blood sugar 2 hours after a meal, glycosylated hemoglobin, daily activity levels, and knowledge on diabetes.

In present study, we investigated the antidiabetic effect of Momordica charantia(as well known "bitter melon"). This study was conducted to determine antidiabetic mechanism of Bitter Melon Extract (BME). We measured blood glucose, insulin, glucagon level in a Sprague-Dawley rat model of high-fat diet/streptozotocin(HFD/STZ)-induced diabetes. Five experimental groups were used: normal, HFD/STZ, BME 62.5 mg/kg HFD/STZ, BME 125 mg/kg HFD/STZ and BME 250 mg/kg HFD/STZ. BME was orally administered to the rats every other day for 9 weeks. Results showed that fasting blood glucose levels were significantly lower in the BME 125 mg/kg(150.17 ± 20.22 mg/dL) and 250 mg/kg(124.17 ± 22.17 mg/dL) groups than in the vehicle group(188.83 ± 26.63 mg/dL)(p<0.05). In addition, glucagon levels were lower in the three BME treatment groups than in the vehicle group(p<0.05). Oral glucose tolerance tests revealed that the BME 250 mg/kg group had significantly(p<0.05) reduced 120-minute blood glucose levels and areas under the curve. Our results suggest that BME induces antidiabetic effects via the reduction of glucagon and blood glucose levels.

People in some tropical countries used to use some plant extracts in folklore medicine as treatment of diabetes melitus. Of these plants is Calligonum comsum ("orta"). The present work deals with the biochemical effects of the whole plant water extract given orally to the albino rats, normals and alloxan diabetics, as to fulfil its hypoglycemic effects on rats. The results showed that "orta" extract produced a hypoglycemic effect indicated by the decrease in blood sugar level. It was observed that the diabetic state in rats treated with 300 mg/kg body weight of "orta" extract, was alleviated, showeing normal levels of blood glucose, liver fat and cholesterol contents. Liver proteins were still below the normal level in the rats. Gibenclamide, a hypoglycemic drug, was used for comparison with "ora" extract. Although it did alleviate the diabetic state, yet the liver fat and cholesterol contents were still higher than those of normal. Also the liver proteins were lower than the control levels.

우리나라에도 심혈관 질환으로 인한 사망률이 점차 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 채식과 심혈관 질환과기 관계를 규명하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 채식을 하는 비구니스님을 대상으로 하여 연구한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 평균나이는 채식인 44.20세, 비채식인 40.52세, BMI는 각각 22.47, 21.08이었고, WHR은 0.85, 0.84였고, %BF는 28.79, 26.55였으며, 활동량은 각각 507.8 kg/day, 400.0kg/day였고, 채식인의 평균채식기간은 13.16년이었다. 조사대상자의 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 이완기 혈압 및 혈당은 비채식인이 유의적으로(p<0.01) 높았고, HDL-콜레스테롤도 비채식인이 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높았으며 심 질환 예견지수인 HDL-콜레스테롤/총 콜레스테롤비는 채식인이 유의적으로(p<0.01) 높았다. 두군 모두 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI는 WHR, BMI,% BF, 활동량과는 유의적으로 높은 정의상관 관계를 보였다(p<0.05, p<0.01). HDL-콜레스테롤은 BMI, WHR과는 유의한 부의 상관관계를 보였다. 수축기 혈압은 BMI, WHR과는 높은 정의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 나이는 채식인에서 중성지방과는 정의 상관관계(p<0.05), 비채식인에서는 중성지방 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 수축기 혈압과는 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 두군 모두 연령 증가와 함께 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 수축기혈압은 유의적으로 높아졌고 채식인은 비채식인에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.01). 이완기 혈압, 혈당은 뚜렷한 경향을 보이지 않았으나 연령증가에 따라 증가하였다. 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 수축기 혈압은 두군 모두 60대에 최고치를 나타내었고 70대에는 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 혈청지질농도, 혈압은 연령 증가에 따라 유의하게 높아지고 채식인은 그 상승률이 비채식인에 비해 완만하게 증가하는 것으로 조사되었다. 이상의 결과에서 채식인은 심혈관 질환 관련인자인 혈청 총콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 수축기혈압이 유의적으로 낮았다. 또한 나이가 듦에 따라 두군 모두 혈중지질 농도와 혈압이 높아지지만 채식군은 비채식군에 비해 상승률이 낮았다. 이로 미루어볼 때 채식은 가령과 함께 증가하는 심혈관 질환 관련인자의 상승률을 낮출 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 심혈관 질환의 예방과 치료에 효과가 있다고 볼 수 있다.

본 연구는 8주 동안 건강한 성인 남녀 11명을 대상으로 자일로바이오스 함유 비율이 다른 설탕 3종의 혈당 반응 및 GI 분석을 통해 혈당 저감 효과를 확인하였다. XB 7 (자일로바이오스 7% 함유 설탕), XB 10 (자일로바이오스 10% 함유 설탕), XB 14 (자일로바이오스 14% 함유 설탕)은 표준식품 (포도당)에 비해 섭취 후 최대 혈당 상승값이 유의적으로 낮았다. XB 7, XB 10 및 XB 14의 GI는 각각 57.0, 53.6, 49.7로 나타나 XB 7은 중GI 식품으로, XB 10, XB 14는 저GI 식품으로 분류되었고, 순수한 설탕의 GI 68에 비해 낮았다. AUC는 30~90분 사이에서 표준식품 (포도당)에 비해 비교식품 (XB 7, XB 10, XB 14)에서 유의적으로 낮았다. 따라서 자일로바이오스를 함유한 설탕은 혈당상승을 억제하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 자일로바이오스 7% 함유보다는 자일로바이오스 10% 이상 함유 시 기능성 설탕으로의 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
