The effect of prolonged treatment with Mori Folium column fraction(MFCF) on intestinal ${\alpha}$-glycosidase activity has been studied in mice made hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic by feeding a high carbohydrate-containing diet. Mice were treated for 10 week with or without MFCF, added to the high carbohydrate-containing diet at 50mg/100g food. While MFCF had no effect on body weight, it prevented the rise in glycemia and insulinemia. Maltase, sucrase and lactase activities were measured in intestinal homogenates of proximal, middle and distal segments of jejunoileum. Following 10 week of MFCF administration, MFCF significantly induced all three enzyme activities especially at middle and distal segments. The mechanisms responsible for these changes and their potential biochemical implications remain to be determined.

Streptozotocin(STZ 55 mg/kg BW., I.P. injection)으로 유발된 당뇨성 Sprague Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐에 있어서, 삼백초 생리활성물질 추출액(3.5 g% extract)의 섭취에 의한 혈당, 전해질, 혈청 지질개선효과 및 당질대사 이상 등에 관여하는 효소의 활성 변동을 생리생화학적 측면에서 검토하기 위하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. 기본식이만을 급여한 대조군인 Normal군을 비롯한 STZ 당뇨 유발군(NSW군), 당뇨 유발에 삼백초 잎 추출액을 섭취시킨 군(NSSL군) 및 당뇨 유발에 삼백초 뿌리 추출액을 섭취시킨 군(NSSR군)을 5주간 실험 사육하였다. 혈당 농도는 당뇨 유발군에 삼백초 추출액을 급여하므로서 유의적으로 저하됨을 관찰할 수가 있었다. 또한 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, 동맥경화지수, LDL, LDL- 콜레스테롤, 유리 콜레스테롤, 콜레스테롤 에스테르 비, 중성지방 및 인지질 농도 등은 삼백초 추출액을 섭취시킨 군(NSSL군, NSSR군)에서 농도가 유의성 있게 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, HDL-콜레스테롤 및 총 콜레스테롤에 대한 HDL-콜레스테롤 비 등은 삼백초 추출액 섭취(NSSL군, NSSR군)에 의해서 유의성 있게 증가 되는 것으로 나타났다. 혈청 중의 전해질(Na, K, Cl) 및 creatinine 농도는 STZ으로 당뇨 유발군에 삼백초 추출액을 섭취시킴으로서 유의성 있는 농도 저하 효과를 보였다. 또한, 혈청 중 aminotransferase(AST, ALT), creatine phosphokinase(CPK), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) 및 alkaline phosphatase(ALP)의 활성은 STZ으로 당뇨 유발 시킨 후 삼백초 추출액을 섭취시킴으로서 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 삼백초 잎(NSSL군)과 뿌리(NSSR군) 추출액 섭취에 따른 혈당, 각 종 지질 성분 및 효소 활성치의 두 군 간의 비교는 삼백초 잎이 뿌리 추출액에 비하여 다소 효과적인 차이를 보였으나 유의성 있는 변화는 보이지 않았다. 이상과 같은 결과들을 미루어 볼 때, 삼백초 중의 생리활성물질이 STZ으로 유발된 당뇨성 흰쥐의 혈당 조절 기능이상 및 혈청 지질대사 이상 등에서 오는 각종 질환의 예방 및 개선 작용에 효과가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The volume of glucose urine, induced by streptozotocin to hyperglycemic rats, was shown an increase in comparision to a normal flock when $12.50m{\ell}/kg$ of I.J.T. dosed to the rats and checked after two and four weeks and thereby, a sinificant reduction in the volume of blood glucose was made. 2. The volume of total cholesterol of blood serum in the diabetic rats, induced by streptozotocin, was increased in comparision to the normal flock, and in the fouth week of dosing $1.25m{\ell}/kg$ of I.J.T., a significant reduction of total cholesterol volum was shown in the blood serum. 3. The volume of triglyceride in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was increased in comparision to the normal flock, and with dosing $1.25m{\ell}/kg$ and $12.50m{\ell}/kg$ of I.J.T., a significant reduction of triglyceride volium was shwon in the blood serum after second and fourth week. 4. The volume of phospholipid in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was somewhat reduced in comparision to the normal flock, and with dosing $1.25m{\ell}/kg$ of I.J.T., a significant reduction of phospholipid volium in the blood serum was shown after first and second week. 5. The volume of total protein in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was somewhat reduced in comparison to the normal flock however, with dosing the I.J.T., no significant change on the volium of total protein was made in the blood serum. 6. The volume of potassium in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was increased in comparision to the normal flock however, with dosing the I.J.T., no significant change of potassium content was made in the blood serum. 7. The volume of sodium in the blood serum of the diabetic rats, induced by the streptozotocin, was somewhat reduced in comparision to the normal flock, and with dosing $12.50m{\ell}/kg$ of the I.J.T., a significant increase was shown in the blood serum after first week. Soyangin, accompanying with a middle and upper heat, the I.J.T. - that has a merits of cleaning up fever, solving fever, solving poison, solving thirst and restoring exhaustion - can be proved that it has a blood sugar reduction effect and it is considered that it can be meritorious for strengthening vitality, further, many other exhausting diseases, and can actively used for the cases such as thirst causing disease and a disease that causes an abnormal food hunger, thirst causing and frequent going to pass urine, in particular.

We investigated anti-hyperglycemic and anti-obese effects of Panax ginseng berry extract and its major constituent, ginsenoside Re, in obese diabetic C57BL/6J ob/ob mice and their lean littermates. Animals received daily intraperitoneal injections of Panax ginseng berry extract for 12 days. On Day 5, 150 mg/kg extract-treated ob/ob mice had significantly lower fasting blood glucose levels compared to vehicle-treated mice $(156{\pm}9.0\;mg/dl\;vs.\;243{\pm}15.8mg/dl,$ P<0.01). On Day 12, the extract-treated ob/ob mice became normoglycemic $(137{\pm}6.7\;mg/dl)$ and had significantly improved glucose tolerance. The overall glucose excursion during the two-hour intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT), calculated as area under the curve (AUC), decreased by $46\%$ (P<0.01) compared to vehicle-treated ob/ob mice. Glucose levels of lean mice were not significantly affected by the extract. The improvement in blood glucose levels in 150 mg/kg extracttreated ob/ob mice was associated with significant reduction in serum insulin levels of fed and fasting mice. Consistent with an improvement in insulin sensitivity, hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp study revealed a more than 2-fold increase in the rate of insulin-stimulated glucose disposal in treated ob/ob mice $(112{\pm}19.1\;vs.\;52{\pm}11.8{\mu}mol/kg/min$ for the vehicle group, P<0.01). In addition, 150 mg/kg extract-treated ob/ob mice, but not the lean mice, lost significant weight (from $51.7{\pm}1.9g\;on\;Day\;0\;to\;45.7{\pm}1.2$ on Day 12, P<0.01 compared to vehicle-treated ob/ob mice), associated with a significant reduction in food intake (P<0.05) and a very significant increase in energy expenditure (P<0.01) and body temperature (P<0.01). A 12-day treatment with 150 mg/kg Panax ginseng berry extract also significantly reduced plasma cholesterol levels in ob/ob mice. Additional studies demonstrated that ginsenoside Re, a major constituent of the ginseng berry, but not from the root, plays a significant role in anti-hyperglycemic action. This anti-diabetic effect of ginsenoside Re was not associated with body weight changes, suggesting that other constituents in the extract have distinct pharmacological mechanisms on energy metabolism. The identification of a significant anti-hyperglycemic activity in ginsenoside Re may provide an opportunity to develop a novel class of anti-diabetic agent.

To elucidate the effect of ginseng butanol fraction on streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia, ginseng butanol fraction was administered before and after injection of streptozotocin(50mg/kg, i.v.), and glucose, insulin, and cholesterol levels in serum were determined at 96 hours after streptozotocin injection. Serum glucose, insulin levels were significantly decreased by administration of ginseng butanol fraction (100mg/kg, p.o.) at 7 hour and 7, 4, 1, hour(three times) before streptozotocin injection. The glucose levels were significantly decresed by administration of ginseng butanol fraction at 1 hour (100mg/kg) after strcptozotocin injection, and also serum glucose levels in groups of continuous administration of ginseng butanal fraction(100mg/kg) for 3 days after streptozotocin injection were markedly decreased than in group of single dose of ginseng butanol fraction. Ginseng butanol fraction has the protective and relieving action against streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia.

Cordyceps is reputed for its broad biological activities and as a tonic for replenishing vital function in Chinese traditional medicines. As an attempt to obtain fundamental data for the development of a new type Cordyceps, the effects of the fruiting bodies of cultivated fungus of Paecilomyces japonica grown on silkworm larvae on hyperglycemia induced by streptozotocin(STZ) and by epinephrine in rats and in mice as well as on immunological functions in mice were investigated. The 70% methanol extract of the fungus, when administered orally at 100 and 300 mg/kg in STZ-induced hyperglycemic rats, caused a significant decrease in blood glucose level 3hr after sample treatments. The methanol extract, when administered p.o. at the same dose levels in epinephrine-induced hyperglycemic mice, also caused a significant decrease in serum glucose levels as well as a significant reversal of the liver glycogen contents suggesting its hypoglycemic activity might be due to glycogen breakdown in the liver. Treatment of normoglycaemic mice with the methanol extract of the fungus exhibited a significant glucose tolerance up to 3hr after oral glucose load(2.0 g/kg). The methanol extract also showed immuno-stimulating activity as measured by carbon clearance in mice and a significant antifatigue effect as measured by weight loaded forced swimming performance in mice.

Grape products have been known to exert greater antioxidant and anti-obesity than anti-hyperglycemic effects in animals and humans. Omija is used as an ingredient in traditional medicine, and it is known to have an anti-hyperglycemic effect. We investigated whether the combined extracts of grape pomace and omija fruit (GE+OE) could reduce fat accumulation in adipose and hepatic tissues and provide beneficial effects against hyperglycemia and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic mice. C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice were fed either a normal control diet or GE+OE (0.5% grape pomace extract and 0.05% omija fruit extract, w/w) for 7 weeks. GE+OE decreased plasma leptin and resistin levels while increasing adiponectin levels and reducing the total white adipose tissue weight. Furthermore, GE+OE lowered plasma free fatty acid (FFA), triglyceride, and total-cholesterol levels as well as hepatic FFA and cholesterol levels. Hepatic fatty acid synthase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities were decreased in the GE+OE group, whereas hepatic ${\beta}$-oxidation activity was increased. Furthermore, GE+OE supplementation not only reduced hyperglycemia and pancreatic ${\beta}$-cell failure but also lowered blood glycosylated hemoglobin and plasma insulin levels. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance levels was also decreased and the decrease seems to be mediated by the lowered activities of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinases. The present data suggest that GE+OE may have the potential to reduce hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: A positive association between air pollution and both the incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been reported in some epidemiologic and animal studies, but little research has evaluated the relationship between air pollution and diabetic coma. Diabetic coma is an acute complication of DM caused by diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, which is characterized by extreme hyperglycemia accompanied by coma. We conducted a time-series study with a generalized additive model using a distributed-lag non-linear model to assess the association between ambient air pollution (particulate matter less than $10{\mu}m$ in aerodynamic diameter, nitrogen dioxide [$NO_2$], sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone) and emergency department (ED) visits for DM with coma in Seoul, Korea from 2005 to 2009. Methods: The ED data and medical records from the 3 years previous to each diabetic coma event were obtained from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service to examine the relationship with air pollutants. Results: Overall, the adjusted relative risks (RRs) for an interquartile range (IQR) increment of $NO_2$ was statistically significant at lag 1 (RR, 1.125; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.039 to 1.219) in a single-lag model and both lag 0-1 (RR, 1.120; 95% CI, 1.028 to 1.219) and lag 0-3 (RR, 1.092; 95% CI, 1.005 to 1.186) in a cumulative-lag model. In a subgroup analysis, significant positive RRs were found for females for per-IQR increments of $NO_2$ at cumulative lag 0-3 (RR, 1.149; 95% CI, 1.022 to 1.291). Conclusions: The results of our study suggest that ambient air pollution, specifically $NO_2$, is associated with ED visits for diabetic coma.
