Metabolic disease such as diabetes, which is caused by stress or imbalanced diet, has been increasing. A diabetic tend to suffer from a delay or difficulty of wound healing. The extract of SHIKON (SK), that is the root of Lithospermun erythrorhison, has been reported to have an effect on healing for normal wound, but has never studies for intractable wound so far. Therefore we examined the effect of SK extract on wound healing with healing impaired mouse model. Full-thickness round wounds were created on the backs of db/db mice and applied SK, and we observed neovascularization and collagen synthesis, distribution of apoptotic cells, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)- positive cells in granulation tissue. After two weeks, a number of capillary vessel and collagen synthesis were increased in SK-treated wounds. Infiltration of VEGF-positive neutrophils was also seen in the wound, besides apoptotic fibroblasts and endothelial cells were appeared in the granulation tissue. After three weeks, the wound closed completely with SK-treated but not in control. These results suggest that SK enhanced neovascularization by VEGF and this kind of apoptosis process makes the scar smooth. In this study, it is obvious that SK also accelerates healing of intractable wound.

The objective of this study was to determine the anti-diabetic effect of the water extract of Neolentinus lepideus in a diabetic mouse model. Seven-week-old C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice were fed either a control diet (CD) or diet supplemented with 1% or 5% of N. lepideus water extract (NLWE1 or NLWE5) for 10 weeks. Oral administration of NLWE significantly decreased the body weight gain compared to that of CD-fed group. Mice in the NLWE group had significantly lower levels of fasting serum glucose, fatty acids, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to those in the control group. These effects were accompanied by reduced fatty liver and improved glucose tolerance in the NLWE group. Taken together, these results suggest that N. lepideus might have potential as a dietary supplement to control diabetes.

Having idea to develop more effective anti-diabetic agent from ginseng root, we comprehensively assessed the anti-diabetic activity and mechanisms of ginsam in C57BL/KsJ db/db mice. The db/db mice were divided into 4 groups; diabetic control (DC), ginsam at a dose of 300 or 500 mg/kg (GS300 or GS500) and metformin at a dose of 300 mg/kg (MT300). Ginsam was orally administered for 8 weeks. GS500 reduced the blood glucose concentration and significantly decreased an insulin resistance index. In addition, GS500 reduced the plasma non-esterified fatty acid, triglyceride, and increased high density lipoprotein-cholesterol as well as decreased the hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride. More interestingly, ginsam increased the plasma adiponectin level by 17% compared to diabetic control group. Microarray, quantitative-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme activity results showed that gene and protein expressions associated with glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and fatty acid oxidation were changed to the way of reducing hepatic glucose production, insulin resistance and enhancing fatty acid $\beta$-oxidation. Ginsam also increased the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase and glucose transporter expressions in the liver and skeletal muscle, respectively. These changes in gene expression were considered to be the mechanism by which the ginsam exerted the anti-diabetic and anti-dyslipidemic activities in C57BL/KsJ db/db mice.

The main cause of diabetic neuropathy, one of the most debilitating complications, is the chronic hyperglycemia, the increase sorbitol or the decrease of nerve growth factor(NGF). NGF, a protein, plays a major role in the development and maintenance of peripheral nervous system. Systemic administration of NGF prevents manifestations of neuropathy in rodent models of diabetic neuropathy. In the previous investigation, we report the hypoglycemia effect of Dioscorea rhizoma extract(DRE) in diabetic mice. The present study shows protective effect of DRE on diabetic neuropathy by induction of NGF protein. We investigated the NGF level in salivary gland and sciatic nerve of normal mouse and the effect of DRE on sciatic nerve conductivity and thermal hyperalgesia test in Type 2 db/db mouse. DRE increased endogenous NGF level in salivary gland and sciatic nerve of mouse. And sensory nerve conductivity velocity(SNCV), motor nerve conductivity velocity(MNCV) and thermal hyperalgesia increased in DRE treatment mice compared with control group. On the basis of our results, we conclude that DRE increase induction of endogenous NGF level and have protective effect on diabetic neuropathy by induction of NGF. Therefore, we propose that long-term use of DRE might help prevention of diabetes-associated complication; diabetic neuropathy.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Mulberry leaf (ML) has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, and suppresses postprandial hyperglycemia, which may be related to its deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) content. This study was conducted to investigate the hypoglycemic and dyslipidemic effects of rice coated with ML rich in DNJ in a type 2 diabetes mouse model. MATERIALS/METHODS: The mice were divided into four groups (n = 8 each): non-diabetic normal control (NC); diabetic control (DM-C), fed with 10% polished rice powder (DM-R); and fed with 10% polished rice powder coated with DNJ-rich ML (DM-DNJR). RESULTS: Supplementation with DNJR for six weeks decreased levels of fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, and blood glycosylated hemoglobin; conversely, levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol showed an increase in the same treatment. In addition, weights of mesenteric, epididymal, and total adipose tissues decreased with DNJR supplementation, when compared with diabetic control db/db mice, while maltase, lactase, and sucrase activity in the small intestine were inhibited. The anti-diabetic effects were marginally greater in the DM-DNJR group than in the DM-R group. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that rice coated with ML rich in DNJ can reduce hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in db/db mice, and may prove useful for individuals with diabetes.

본 연구는 우리나라에서 재배한 삼채 추출물의 주요생리활성 물질을 2형 당뇨 쥐에 투여하였을 때 인슐린 저항성 개선효과와 췌장에서 β-cell의 형태 및 간 조직의 2형 당뇨 관련 단백질의 발현을 확인 함으로써 그 메카니즘을 확인코자 하였다. 특히 TZDS당뇨약 계열로 현재 시판중인 actoz와 활성을 비교 함으로써 그 유효성 정도를 살펴보고자 본 실험을 디자인하였다. 먼저 식이섭취량, 물 섭취량의 경우, Control군은 2형 당뇨 특징인 다식, 다뇨, 다갈의 형태로 증가하였으나, 삼채 추출물 투여로 식이 및 물 섭취량이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 식이 투여 2시간 후 혈당변화와 OGTT 검사결과, 2형 당뇨인 Control군에서 혈당의 농도가 가장 높았으나 삼채 추출물 8주 경구투여로 인해 안정화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, serum의 glucose농도 또한 삼채 추출물 투여로 2형당뇨 control군에 비해 혈당이 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. HbA1c (당화혈색소)는 2형 당뇨군(control)에서 9% 수치 범위로 고혈당 범위였으나, 삼채 추출물 섭취로 인하여 Positive control군(actoz 투여군) 7% 수준으로 감소하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었으며, insulin농도는 2형 당뇨인 Control군에서 insulin 농도가 1 ng/ml로 가장 낮은 농도였으며, 삼채 추출물 및 SAC 1.5 ng/ml수준으로 insulin수치가 상승하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 혈중 triglyceride, total cholesterol 및 LDL-cholesterol 수치 모두 시료 투여군에서 혈중 지질관련 인자의 농도가 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 AH 400군의 경우 triglyceride, total cholesterol 및 LDL-cholesterol 농도가 각각 482.86±13.40 mg/dl, 163.56±13.24 mg/dl, 142.04±3.24 mg/dl로 대조군에 비해 약 50% 감소한 결과를 나타내었다. 간장 조직 중 지질 과산화의 함량의 경우, 2형 당뇨인 Control군에서 467.74±1.12 MDA nmole/g of tissue로 삼채 추출물 투여(AH 400)로 319.61±26.98 MDA nmole/g of tissue 로 Normal군과 비슷한 수준으로 혈중 lipid peroxide의 함량이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 간장조직을 H&E염색한 결과, Normal군에 비하여 2형 당뇨인 Control군의 간 조직에서 많은 지방적이 나타나 지방간이 확인되었으나, Positive control 및 삼채 추출물 투여에 의해 지방적의 크기와 수가 많이 줄어드는 결과를 얻어 조직학적 검사상 지방간의 소견이 현저히 호전되었으며, 췌장에서 insulin 면역화학 염색 결과 2형 당뇨로 췌도 세포가 거의 손상된 것과는 대조적으로, 삼채 추출물을 투여한 결과 정상군과 유사한 형태의 췌도 세포가 확인되었으며 췌도 세포의 형태가 다양한 정도의 과 형성을 보이는 것이 확인되었다. 또한 간장 조직의 PPARγ, PDK4, SREBP-1, FOX0 1의 발현을 확인한 결과, 발현이 2형 당뇨인 Control군에서 모두 발현이 증가하였으나, 삼채 추출물 투여로 인해 발현 정도가 낮게 나타나 앞서 확인하였던 glucose 및 HbA1c 및 insulin농도의 결과와 상통함을 확인하였다. 이들의 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 삼채 메탄올 추출물의 8주간 경구 투여로 인하여 2형 당뇨에 관여하는 PPARγ 단백질 및 비만 관련 단백질 인자를 조절하였으며, insulin농도 및 식후 혈당조절에도 도움을 주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 췌장의 insulin 면역화학염색 결과, 췌도 세포 형태 및 insulin 합성에도 긍정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 미루어 보아 2형 당뇨에 대한 치료효과가 큰 것으로 사료 된다.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic and hard to control disease. In order to develop the therapeutic agent for type 2 DM, many researchers investigated natural products using an in vitro and in vivo assay. In this study, we tried to explore the anti-diabetic activity and mechanisms of ginsam, which is a vinegar-processed ginseng radix. The db/db mice were randomly divided into four groups. The diabetes control (DC) group was orally administrated with distilled water, ginseng radix (GR) or ginsam (GS) was administrated orally at a dose of 150 mg/kg, and the positive control group was orally injected with metformin (MET) at a dose of 300 mg/kg for 5 weeks in db/db mice and measured body weight and blood glucose level every week. All treatment groups decreased the plasma glucose levels compared with diabetic control and GS group significantly lowered the insulin resistance index. GS group also reduced the plasma lipid levels mainly due to reduce the lipogenesis and increase the lipolysis in the fat tissue. In addition, GS group increased the GLUT4 mRNA expression levels in the fat and muscle tissues by 10 fold probably due to increase a $PPAR_{-\gamma}$ mRNA expression in fat tissue. Taken together, GS showed the anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hyperlipidemic activities and those activities may ascribe to over-expression of GLUT4 mRNA level and decrease the lipogenesis in fat tissue.
