The early plasma gastrin responses to single oral glucose or casein solution were studied in the same normal subjects on different days. After an overnight fast, glucose or casein solution was ingested within few minutes at the breakfast time. The plasma gastrin responses to these solutions were compared and contrasted with the concentration when the subjects received glucose solution intravenously. Results were as follows: 1) Rapid intravenous glucose infusion did not produce any changes in the plasma gastrin concentration. 2) Plasma gastrin concentration rose and peaked within 10 minutes after an oral liquid ingestion and then decreased substantially by 15 minutes, but remained slightly above fasting levels at 60 minutes. 3) There was no significant difference between the mean plasma gastrin concentrations after glucose of casein ingestion, but each fluid produced a significant increase in serum gastrin above fasting levels. 4) The subjects who produced high plasma gastrin response to glucose solution did so to casein solution. Conversely a low response to one solution reflected a low response to the other solution. 5) From the above results, authors discussed that individual responsibility rather than the sorts of meals is the factor in the determination of the magnitude of the early gastrin response.

가시까치밥나무(Ribes diacanthum Pall.) 투여가 alloxan으로 유도된 당뇨 모델 마우스에서 혈당 저하 효과 및 혈청 지질에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 마우스는 Normal 군, Alloxan 투여 대조군(Control 군), alloxan+가시까치밥나무 추출물(1 mg /kg B.W/day)(RDP-1), alloxan+가시까치밥나무 추출물(3 mg /kg B.W/day)(RDP-2) 군으로 나누어 실험하였다. 가시까치밥나무 투여군들은 14일 동안 RDP 추출물을 두 가지 농도로 경구 투여한 후 꼬리정맥으로 alloxan을 주입하여 당뇨를 유도하였다. RDP 추출물의 항산화 실험 결과, 총 폴리페놀 함량은 0.5 mg/g으로 분석되었다. 또한 식이 섭취량과 수분섭취량은 alloxan 투여군이 Normal 군에 비하여 유의적으로 증가하였고, 간과 신장의 무게 또한 Normal 군에 비하여 유의적으로 증가하였다. 혈당 개선 실험 결과, alloxan의 정맥주사에 의해 유도된 제1형 당뇨 마우스 모델에 있어서, RDP 추출물의 투여가 Control 군에 비하여 혈당의 상승을 크게 억제하였으며, RDP 추출물 농도 간에는 혈당 개선에 크게 차이가 나지 않았다. 혈액 분석 결과, 중성 지질 함량과 총 콜레스테롤 함량은 Normal 군에 비해 Control 군에서 다소 높아 유의적인 차이를 보였으며, RDP 추출물의 투여군들은 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. HDL-cholesterol은 그룹 간의 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았지만, 혈청 AST 활성도와 BUN은 RDP 추출물 투여군에서 Control 군에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하였다. 본 실험에서는 insulin 함량과 인슐린을 분비하는 췌장 ${\beta}$-cell의 기능을 알 수 있는 C-peptide 함량은 측정되지 않아 보다 더 많은 연구가 필요하나, 이러한 결과로 보아 RDP 추출물은 혈당 개선을 위한 기능성 식품소재 혹은 산업적 응용가능성이 높은 유용한 소재인 것으로 사료된다.

We have demonstrated that 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) isolated from Bacillus subtilis MORI could enhance the levels of adiponectin and its receptors in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, which has been shown to be effective in lowering blood glucose levels and enhancing insulin sensitivity. DNJ was not toxic to differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes for up to a concentration of $5{\mu}M$. In terms of expression levels of adiponectin and its receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2), DNJ in concentrations as low as $0.5{\mu}M$ elevated both mRNA and protein levels of adiponectin and transcript levels of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2. In addition, DNJ increased phosphorylation of 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in a statistically significant manner. Finally, treatment with DNJ resulted in increased mRNA expression of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), which encodes for a glucose transporter, along with a significant increase in glucose uptake into the adipocytes based on results of a 2-deoxy-D-[$^3H$] glucose uptake assay. Our findings indicate that DNJ may greatly facilitate glucose uptake into adipose tissues by increasing the action of adiponectin via its up-regulated expression as well as its receptor genes. In addition, the glucose-lowering effects of DNJ may be achieved by an increased abundance of GLUT4 protein in the plasma membrane, as a consequence of the increased transcript levels of the GLUT4 gene and the activation of AMPK.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of high glucose on prostaglandin E2 production in human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells in vitro. In control group, the cells($5{\times}10^4\;cells/ml$) were cultured with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium contained with 10% fetal bovine serum, 45mg/dl glucose. In experimental groups, glucose was added to the above culture condition at the final glucose concentrations of 100mg/dl(Test group 1), 200mg/dl (Test group 2) and 400mg/dl (Test group 3). Then each group was tested for the cell proliferation rate, protein levels, and prostaglandin E2 production at $\frac{1}{2}$, 1, 2, 5 days. The results were as follows : 1. As glucose concentration increased, cell proliferation rate decreased significantly at 1, 2, 5 days in human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells(P<0.01). 2. In human gingival fibroblasts, test group 2 and 3 showed significantly decreased protein levels as compared to control group at 5 days (P<0.01). 3. In human periodontal ligament cells, as glucose concentration increased, protein levels decreased significantly at 2 days and 5 days(P<0.01). 4. Prostaglandin $E_2$ production in human gingival fibroblasts and human periodontal ligament cells significantly increased as glucose concentration increased(P<0.01). results at 5 days showed obvious difference as compared to those at 2 days. From the above results, high glucose appeared to affect cellular activities including cell proliferation rate, protein levels and enhance prostaglandin $E_2$ production. It was assumed that prostaglandin E2 production by high glucose enhances inflammatory reaction and has a toxic effect on human gingival fibroblasts and human periodontal ligament cells. This study suggests that periodontal disease in diabetic patient is related to prostaglandin $E_2$ production.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess changes in blood glucose level, blood pressure, and arterial stiffness after a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in elderly women aged over 65 years with hypertension and either normal glycemic control, impaired fasting glucose tolerance, or diabetes mellitus. We also wished to investigate the relationship between stages of diabetes and physical fitness. [Methods] A total of 24 elderly women with hypertension were assigned to a control group (CON; n=7), impaired fasting glucose group (IFG; n=9), and diabetes mellitus group (DM; n=8). In each group, blood glucose level, brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV), and blood pressure were measured at baseline as well as 60 and 120 minutes after a 75 g OGTT. Physical fitness factors such as hand grip strength, balance test, 4 m gait speed test, chair stand test, short physical performance battery, and 6-minute walking test were subsequently assessed. [Results] In all three groups, blood glucose levels were significantly increased at 60 and 120 minutes after a 75 g OGTT. In the DM group, blood glucose levels were significantly higher before and after a 75 g OGTT than in the CON group. In the CON group, PWV was significantly increased at 60 minutes after a 75 g OGTT; however, there were no changes in other groups after glucose ingestion. In the CON group, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly decreased at 60 and 120 minutes after a 75 g OGTT compared to baseline. However, there was no change in blood pressure after ingestion in the DM group. The IFG group had greater grip strength than the CON group; however, there were no differences in other variables between the groups. [Conclusion] After a 75 g OGTT, elderly women with hypertension and diabetes maintain higher blood glucose levels compared to those with hypertension alone. Unlike elderly women with hypertension alone, those with hypertension and diabetes did not show changes in arterial stiffness and blood pressure after a 75 g OGTT. Therefore, elderly women with hypertension and diabetes may not be able to control their blood vessels following a 75 g OGTT due to impaired vascular endothelial function. Moreover, there was no association between diabetes stage and physical fitness in elderly women with hypertension.

Acarviosine-glucose (AcvGlc) is an ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor and has similar inhibitory activity to acarbose in vitro. We synthesized AcvGlc by treating acarbose with Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase and fed C57BL/6J and db/db mice with diets containing purified AcvGlc and acarbose for 1 week. AcvGlc (50 and 100 mg/100 g diet) significantly reduced plasma glucose and triglyceride levels in db/db mice by 42 and 51 %, respectively (p<0.0001). The hypoglycemic and hypotriglyceridemic effects of AcvGlc were slightly, but significantly, greater than those seen with acarbose treatment (p<0.0001) in C57BL/6J mice. In an oral glucose tolerance test, glucose tolerance was significantly improved at all time points (p<0.01). The expression of two novel glucose transporters (GLUTs), GLUT10 and GLUT12, were examined by Western blot analysis. GLUT10 was markedly increased in the db/db livers. After AcvGlc treatment, the expression of hepatic GLUT10 was decreased whereas intestinal GLUT12 was significantly increased in both strains of mice. Our results show that AcvGlc improves plasma lipid and glucose metabolism slightly more than acarbose. Regulation of hepatic GLUT10 and intestinal GLUT12 may be important in controlling blood glucose levels.

In this study, a mechanism by which glucose level modulates glucose transport in Jurkat cells was investigated. Glucose uptake was more efficient in the cells cultivated in low glucose (2.5 mM) medium than that grown in high glucose (20 $\mu$M) medium. Vmax (0.74 n㏖/10$^6$ cells$\cdot$min) of glucose uptake measured with the cells grown in the low glucose medium was higher than the one (1.06 n㏖/10$^6$ cells$\cdot$min) in the high glucose medium while Km was almost consistent through the change of glucose levels, indicating the increase of glucose transporter number.

The maintenance of normal blood glucose levels at rest and during exercise is critical. The maintenance of blood glucose homeostasis depends on the coordination and integration of several physiological systems, including the sympathetic nervous system and the endocrine system. During prolonged exercise increased demand for glucose by contracting muscle causes to increase glucose uptake to working skeletal muscle. Increase in glucose uptake by working skeletal muscle during prolonged exercise is due to an increase in the translocation of insulin and contraction sensitive glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) proteins to the plasma membrane. However, normal blood glucose level can be maintained by the augmentation of glucose production and release through the stimulation of liver glycogen breakdown, and the stimulation of the synthesis of glucose from other substances, and by the mobilization of other fuels that may serve as alternatives. Both feedback and feedforward mechanisms allow glycemia to be controlled during exercise. This review focuses on factors that control blood glucose homeostasis during prolonged exercise.

The major goal in the treatment of diabetes mellitus is to achieve near-normal glycemic control. To optimize both fasting blood glucose and postprandial glucose levels is important in keeping blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible. ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$ is the enzyme that digests dietary carbohydrate, and inhibition of this enzyme could suppress postprandial hyperglycemia. The purpose of this study was to test the inhibitory activity of methanol extract of Euonymus alatus on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ in vitro and in vivo to evaluate its possible use as an anti-diabetic agent. Yeast ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities of methanol extract of E. alatus were measured at concentrations of 0.50, 0.25, 0.10, and 0.05 mg/ml. The ability of E. alatus to lower postprandial glucose was studied in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. A starch solution (1 g/kg) with and without E. alatus extract (500 mg/kg) was administered to diabetic rats by gastric intubation after an overnight fast. Plasma glucose levels were measured at 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240 min. Plasma glucose levels were expressed in increments from baseline, and incremental areas under the response curve were calculated. Extract of E. alatus, which had an $IC_{50}$ value of 0.272 mg/ml, inhibited yeast ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity in a concentration-dependent manner. A single oral dose of E. alatus extract significantly inhibited increases in blood glucose levels at 60 and 90 min (p<0.05) and significantly decreased incremental response areas under the glycemic response curve (p<0.05). These results suggest that E. alatus has an antihyperglycemic effect by inhibiting ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity in this animal model of diabetes mellitus.
