Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the silkworm powder on blood levels of glucose, Hb Alc, insulin, and lipids. Thirty-one NIDDM patients from Kyung Hee Medical Center were divided into two groups : patients with silkworm powder supplements and drug treatments(Drug diabetes) and patients with silkworm powder supplement only(Non-drug diabetes). For the control group, age-matched subjects were recruited. During the 4 weeks of the experimental period, silkworm powder(500mg/mea1) was given to the subjects right after each meal. Nutritional assessments and dietary education were carried out periodically, and body weight and blood pressure were measured when patients visited the hospital. Overnight fasting and 2-h postprandial blood glucose levels were measured at 2 week intervals. The blood levels of insulin, Hb Alc, and lipids were measured before and after the supplements. The mean ages of the three groups were 56.7-59.6 years old. The height, weight, and BMI did not differ among the groups. The fasting blood glucose levels were 138.1$\pm$22.0mg/dl for the Drug treated diabetes group, 175.0$\pm$32.0mg/dl for the Non-drug diabetes group, and 108. 3$\pm$16.gmg/dl for the control group at the begining of the supplement. After 4-wks of supplements, the blood levels of glucose tended to decrease in all three experimental groups. Before the supplements, the 2-h postprandial blood glucose levels of the Drug diabetes, Non drug diabetes, and control groups were 244.7$\pm$62.6mg/dl, 272.4$\pm$40.1mg/dl, and 147.7$\pm$28.0mg/dl, respectively. After the supplement, the levels were 197.2$\pm$30.gmg/dl, 208.6$\pm$ 56.6mg/dl, and 151.3$\pm$30.3mg/dl, respectively. This shows that silkworm powder tended to lower blood levels by 19.4% and 23.4% in NIDDM patient groups. However, the changes in the blood levels of insulin, Hb Alc, ind lipids were not observed after the supplement. In conclusion, the present study has demonstrated that silkworm powder has a tendency to decrease 2-h postprandial blood glucose levels, but it should be used with caution in controlling the diabetes.

본 연구에서는, 무분별하게 사용되고 있는 민간요법의 과학적인 접근의 일환으로 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨환자를 대상으로 당뇨치료약물을 복용하는 당뇨군과 당뇨치료약물을 복용하지 않는 당뇨군 그리고 정상군으로 나누어 각군 모두에게 누에분말을 복용시켜 혈당 및 혈중 당화헤모글로빈, 인슐린, 그리고 혈중 지질농도에 미치는 영향을 관찰하여 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 신장, 체중, BMI, 둔부둘레는 세군간에 차이가 없었다. 허리둘레는 기존의 당뇨치료약물과 누에분말을 동시에 투여받는 당뇨군에서 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높아 WHR은 당뇨치료 약물을 동시에 복용한 당뇨군>누에분말만 복용한 당뇨군>정상군의 순으로 나타났다. 누에분말을 투여받는 동안 체중의 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 2) 당뇨군과 정상군 사이에 열량 및 열량구성비에는차이가 없었으며, 연구 진행동안의 유의적인 변화도 관찰되지 않았다. 실험기간동안 총열량 섭취량은 남자의 경우, 권장량의 87.7%, 여자의 경우, 권장량의 86.2% 를 섭취하고 있었다. 하루동안 누에분말로 공급된 단백질 함량은 0.279이었으며 식이로의 단백질섭취는 남녀 각각 권장량의 97.5%. 108.3%를 섭취하고 있었다. 총 열량구성비는 남자의 경우 탄수화물 단백질. 지방이 68 : 15 : 17, 여자의 경우 69 : 16 : 15이었다. 3) 당뇨치료 약물을 누에분말과 동시에 복용한 당뇨군에서 누에분말 복용후 공복시 혈당이 7.4%, 식사후 2시간의 혈당이 19.4% 감소하는 경향이었고, 누에분말만 섭취한 당뇨군은 누에분말 복용후 혈당이 공복시 9.7%, 식사후 2시간시 23.4%의 감소경향을 나타냈다. 공복시와 식사후 2시간의 혈당 모두 누에분말 섭취후에도 정상범위보다 다소 높았으나, 혈당감소율(%)은 당뇨치료약물을 동시에 복용한 당뇨군에 비해 누에분말만 섭취한 당뇨군에서 큰 경향이었다. 정상군의 혈당에 는 큰 변화가 없었다. 4) 당뇨치료 약물을 동시에 복용한 당뇨군이 누에분말만 복용한 당뇨군에 비해 당화 헤모글로빈이 낮았고 정상군은 더 낮았다. 4주동안 누에분말 복용 후 당화헤모글로빈의 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 5) 본 연구 대상자들의 공복시 인슐린 농도는 당뇨치료 약물을 동시에 복용한 당뇨군에서 누에분말만 복용한 당뇨군과 정상군에 비해 높았다. 누에분말 복용에 따른 공복시 인슐린 농도의 유의적인 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 6) 누에분말 복용에 따른 각 군간의 혈중 지질 농도의 유의적인 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 혈중 중성지방의 농도는 당뇨치료 약물을 동시에 복용한 당뇨군의 경우 8.5%, 누에분말만 섭취한 당뇨군의 경우 9.0% 그리고 정상군은 3.4%가 감소되는 경향을 나타내었다.
