The objective of this study was to develop fermented vegetable juices that possess antidiabetic and antioxidant activities. Lactobacillus plantarum MKHA15 (MKHA15) and Leuconostoc mesenteroides MKSR (MKSR) were applied to ferment onion, cabbage, and tomato juices at $37^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ for 72 h, respectively, and their functionality was tested using the 12 h hour-fermented juice by MKHA15, and 48 h hour-fermented juice by MKSR. Inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was observed in all fermented juices. The onion juice fermented by MKHA15 showed significantly higher ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity compared to other juices. All juices showed more than 70% inhibition of ${\alpha}$-amylase activity. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of onion juice fermented by MKSR showed significantly lower activity than cabbage and tomato juices; however, no difference was observed between the types of starter cultures. The SOD-like activity of cabbage juice fermented by MKSR was the highest among the fermented juices. The juices fermented by MKHA15 showed higher reducing power than those by MKSR. Therefore, we believe that cabbage, onion and tomato juice fermented by MKHA15 and MKSR would be useful in probiotic juices, as they possess antidiabetic and antioxidant activities.

PPARs (peroxisome proliferator activated receptors) are member of nuclear hormone receptors superfamily. Activations of PPARs upon binding with ligands modulate glucose metabolite, differentiation of adipocyte, inflammation response, and so on. Thiazolidinedione analog is one of potential antidiabetic drug that binds and activates PPARν selectively and enhances insulin sensitivity. In an effort to develop novel and effective antidiabetic thiazolidindione analogs, syntheses of benzoxazole and benzothiazole-linked thiazolidinedione analogs were performed via coupling reaction of benzoxazolylalkylaminoethanol with hydroxybenzylthiazolidinedione to develop novel and effective antidiabetic thiazolidindiones. All compounds were evaluated their biological potency by PPARν transactivation assay and revealed the similar potency with Troglitazone. However, lengthening of N-alkyl substituent did not seem to be beneficial for the activity.

This study was carried to investigate the antidiabetic metabolism effect of water extract $Cordyceps$ $Militalis$(C.M.) in Streptozotocin(STZ) induced diabetic rats. Diabetes were induced by intravenous injection of STZ at a dose of 42mg/kg,b.w. dissolved in citrate buffer. The water extract of C.M. was orally administrated once a day for 7 days at a dose of 500mg/kg,b.w(body weight). or 1,000mg/kg.b.w. The content serum glucose was significantly decreased in C.M. treated group compared to the those of STZ-control group. The content of hepatic glycogen and activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G-6-PDH), glucokinase(GK) were significantly increased, but activity of glucose-6-phoshatase(G-6-Pase) was significantly decreased in C.M. treated group compared to the those of STZ-control group. These results indicated that water extract of C.M. would have antidiabetic metabolism effect in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Antidiabetic activities of white ginseng 50％ ethanol extract (WGE) and IH901, an intestinal metabolite of ginsenoside R $b_1$, were compared in multiple low dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. WGE or IH901 were coadministered with STZ on Day 1 at dose of 100 and 300 mg or 10 and 30 mg, respectively, and continually administered for 16 days. STZ dissolved in citrate boner was injected intraperitoneally at dose of 20 mg/kg for 5 consecutive days. During the experiment, plasma glucose level and body weight were measured every 4$^{th}$ day. Amount of food and water intake were evaluated once a week and compared between groups. WGE and IH901 both significantly reduced the plasma glucose levels on Day 16 as compared with those of the diabetic control group. In the meantime, amount of food and water intake in WGE-and IH901-treated groups were significantly improved in a dose dependent fashion as compared with those of the diabetic control group. Taken together WGE and IH901 showed the comparable antidiabetic activities at the corresponding doses used in this experiment.

A major portion of drugs used in Ayurvedic system of medicine which has been practiced since the early human civilization in Indian subcontinent were of plant origin. It should be noted that 70% of the population in this region depends on Ayurveda for their medical treatment and 60% of the drug resources are obtained from the Himalayan region. Therefore, Nepal becomes a potential source of plant drug resource since it occupies a major portion of the Himalaya. In the present paper, in general a current status of medicinal plant resources of Himalayan region especially Nepal will be discussed. In addition to this, a typical example of antidiabetic activity of Shilajit will be taken for the discussion. Shilajit is one of the crucial elements in several formulations including those of Rasayana, a therapy in Ayurveda, which has been practiced in the prevention of ageing and mental disorder. Although, Shilaiit is widely used for the treatment of diabetes, no satisfactory scientific reports are available up to now. The crude Shilajit in the market is a dark brown or black rock-like substance collected from the Himalayan region with a strong smell of cow's stale urine. In our studies, Shilajit (collected in the central Himalayan region) prevented the diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice model. Shilajit also prevented the diabetes in the rats against the action of multiple low-dose (10 ㎎/㎏, i.v., 5 times) of streptozotocin. On the other hand, Shilajit did not show antioxidative activity. The preventive action of Shilajit on diabetes is mainly focused on the Th1 and Th2 cell activities, since Th2 cells activity was found to be significantly upregulated. Shilajit, however, showed a mild action in controlling the blood sugar level in young, old, and mild diabetic rats, but not in the severe diabetic rats. It also stimulated the nitric oxide production in macrophages. Based on these evidences, the antidiabetic activities of Shilajit appear to be immunomodulative probably by protecting or strengthening insulin-producing b-cells In the pancreas. further systematic research on constituents of Shilajit and its quality evaluation is necessary to enable the use of natural medicines in the treatment of diabetes.

To investigate the antioxidant activitys of Biofuntional Foods Prescriptions (BFP), we were measured radical scavenging activity with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) method and anti-lipid peroxidative efficacy on human LDL with thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay. The DPPH and TBARS assay were revealed that Two BFP had significantly activity when compared to that of contrast drug. The antidiabetic effect of Dicollow-B (Rx B) were investigated in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Spraque-Dawley (SD) rats. When each 100,200 kg/mg fraction of Rx B was administrated. the blood glucose showed 155.7 mg/dl, 124.7 mg/dl and inhibitive activity of the serum total cholesterol showed 67.8 mg/dl, 61.5 mg/dl and the serum triglyce of hyperglycemic rats revealed 66.3 mg/dl, 62.3mg/dl. Those were decreased do dependently when compared with control group. The effect of Rx B on The body weight was not dose-dependently decreased dosedependently when by the administration of 100 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg fractions. But it was dose-dependantly decreased from $22.2{\times}4.9$ g to $18.9{\times}4.4$ g by the administration of 400 mg/kg fraction.

Objectives: The study's goal was to find out whether Chrysanthemum rubellum extract has anti-diabetic properties by concentrating on α-glucosidase and the PTP-1B signaling pathway. C. rubellum flowers were used for extraction using Methanol/water (80/20) as solvent. Methods: LC-MS techniques was used to check the presence of phytoconstituents present in C. rubellum extract. In vitro antidiabetic activity was evaluated using α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and PTP-1B signaling pathway. On Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced rats with diabetes, the in vivo antidiabetic efficacy was assessed using a test for oral glucose tolerance. Results: The phytoconstituents identified in the extract of C. rubellum were apigenin, diosmin, myricetin, luteolin, luteolin-7-glucoside, and Quercitrin as compound 1-6, respectively. Results showed that diosmin exhibited highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity i.e. 90.39%. The protein level of PTP-1B was lowered and the insulin signalling activity was directly increased by compounds 1-6. The maximum blood glucose levels were seen in all groups' OGTT findings at 30 minutes following glucose delivery, followed by gradual drops. In comparison to the control group, the extract's glucose levels were 141 mg/dL at 30 minutes before falling to 104 mg/dL after 120 minutes. The current study has demonstrated, in summary, that extract with phytoconstituents reduce blood sugar levels in rats. Conclusion: This finding suggests that extract may reduce the chance of insulin resistance and shield against disorders like hyperglycemia.

Eucommia ulmoides bark extracts by cold water, boiling water, 100% EtOH, 70% EtOH, 100% MeOH, 70% MeOH and $CHCl_3$ were assayed for their medicinal effects. The antioxidant activity of the extracts ranged from $IC_{50}$ 125.2 to $IC_{50}\;872.7{\mu}g/ml$ in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DDPH) free radical-scavenging assay, and cold water extracts had the highest antioxidant activity. $CHCl_3$ extracts had the highest inhibitory effect on angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) giving inhibition of up to 56.4% at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. Extracts in 100% EtOH had the greatest inhibitory effect on $\acute{a}-amylase$ activity ($IC_{50}=174.6{\mu}g/ml$), and 70% MeOH extracts had the greatest inhibitory effect on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity ($IC_{50}=14.0{\mu}g/ml$). Taken together, these results provided the in vitro evidence on the ACE, amylase and glucosidase inhibitory actions of E. ulmoides bark that form the pharmacological basis for its antihypertensive and antidiabetic action.

복강 내당능 시험과 MLD STZ 당뇨를 유발시킨 rat에서 백삼, 홍삼, 화기삼의 항당뇨 활성을 비교한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 복강 내당능 시험에서 백삼은 효과를 나타내지 못한 반면 홍삼과 화기삼은 대조군에 대하여 유의적인 변차를 나타내었다. MLD STZ로 당뇨를 유발시킨 SD계 흰쥐에 백삼, 홍삼, 화기삼을 2주간 투여 후 혈당강하 활성을 비교한 결과 홍삼 투여군의 혈당이 가장 낮았으며 백삼과 화기삼은 비슷한 크기의 활성을 나타내었다. 2. 백삼과 홍삼, 화기삼은 모두 고혈당에 의한 체중 감소 현상을 개선시켰으며 각 투여군 간에는 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 3. 당뇨의 대표적인 증상인 다식 (多食)과 다음 (多飮)현상이 백삼, 홍삼, 화기삼 투여에 의하여 개선되었으며 그 중 홍삼에 의한 효과가 가장 컸다. 4. 혈당강하 활성과 ginsenoside profile간의 상관관계를 살펴본 결과 PPT/PPD ratio가 가장 큰 홍삼의 혈당강하 활성이 백삼과 화기삼에 비해 높은 것으로 보아 PPT/PPD ratio가 혈당강하 활성의 key ratio가 아닌가 추측된다.

Sphaeranthus africanus is commonly used as a traditional remedy for sore throats and pain treatment in Vietnam. The aerial parts have been studied for its anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties. However, the antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of the plant has not been explored. In this work, hydrophilic extracts of the plant's aerial parts were prepared in order to investigate its antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties. Also, the cytotoxicity of the root was evaluated and compared to that of the aerial parts. All of the extracts inhibited lipid peroxidation with IC₅₀ values ranging from 2.05 to 3.56 ㎍/mL, indicating substantial antioxidant activity. At an IC₅₀ value of 4.80 ㎍/mL, the 50% ethanol extract exhibited the most potent inhibition of α-glucosidase. The cytotoxic activity of root extracts is 2 to 5-fold less than that of the aerial parts. Nevertheless, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate extracts of the root demonstrated a selective effect on leukemia cells, with no harm towards the normal HEK-293 cell line. This work provides a scientific support for the antioxidant and antidiabetic activity of the plant. Hence, it may find a promising material for the development of novel antioxidant and antidiabetic agents. More research can be conducted on the phytochemistry and anticancer activities of the plant's root.
