The anti-diabetic effect of dried-silkworm Dongchunghacho water extracts was investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Seven-week-old SD rats were randomly assigned to six groups: normal control (NC) group, diabetic control (DC) group, water extracts of Paecilomyces japonica grown on a dried-silkworm (PJ-DS, 50 mg/kg) group, PJ-DS (250 mg/kg) group, water extracts of Cordyceps militaris grown on a dried-silkworm (CM-DS, 250 mg/kg) group, and water extracts of dried-silkworm (DS, 250 mg/kg) group. These groups were orally provided with sample dissolved in water respectively for four weeks after an injection of STZ (60 mg/kg, ip) followed by identification of diabetic control (DC) group. After four weeks, body weight of all diabetic groups was significantly lower than that of the normal control (NC) group, but among diabetic groups there were no significant differences. Blood glucose levels of the PJ-DS (50 mg/kg), PJ-DS (250 mg/kg), CM-DS (250 mg/kg) and DS (250 mg/kg) groups were reduced compared to the DC group by 3.0 percent, 18.5 percent, 6.9 percent and 13.1 percent, respectively. Concentration of total cholesterol and triglyceride in blood plasma were to some degree decreased in PJ-DS (250 mg/kg) and DS (250 mg/kg) groups compared to the DC group. According to these results dried-silkworm Dongchunghacho water extracts (PJ-DS) boost protection against STZ-induced toxicity.

양잠농가의 소득증대 및 산업기반 확대를 위한 새로운 형태의 고 부가가치 양잠산물 창출을 통하여 현재까지 섭취가 어려웠던 5령4일부터 숙잠기 누에의 식용화를 위한 가공기술을 개발하였다. 농민들도 쉽게 가공이 가능하도록 생누에를 열수에 침지하여 삶거나 수증기로 쪄서 익혀 본 결과 누에의 몸체와 더불어 누에체내에 들어 있는 견사선의 섭취가 가능함은 물론 맛도 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 상기 기술은 원천기술로서 향후 일반식품, 건강기능식품, 화장품, 애완동물용 사료 등으로의 광범위한 활용이 예상돼, 양잠농가 소득증대와 산업기반 확대에 큰 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.
