Abstract

We have isolated fractions from Cordyceps militaris and Paecilomyces japonica and investigated their effects on the activity of rat liver cytosolic glucokinase, a key metabolic enzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism. The dried powder of the C. militaris and P. japonica were successively extracted with ethanol and with 70% ethanol. The residue was exhaustively extracted with hot water. The extract was dialyzed against water, and to the non-dialyzable solution was added 2 volumes of ethanol. The precipitate was collected by centrifugation dispered in water, and lyophilized to afford fraction A. The residue after hot-water extraction was suspended in 5% sodium carbonate. The final residue was suspended in 5% NaOH. The alkaline suspension was purified in a similar manner as described above to afford fraction B. Hepatic glucokinase activities of the fraction A extracted from C. militaris and P. japonica were 371.4 and 379%, respectively. The fraction B was 314.2 and 147.4%. The activity of fraction B of C. militaris extracts was higher than that of P. japonica. Liver cytosolic glucokinase activity of rats fed normal diet supplemented with 0.1% C. militaris was 1316%. In conclusion, the present study has demonstrated that C. militaris extracts were able to prevent sudden postprandial peaks in blood glucose as a result of a marked increase in the liver cytosolic glucokinase activities.

본 연구에서 는 P japonica와 c. mifitaris에서 혈당강하 기능성 성분을 분리하고 간세포내 glucokinase활성을 측정하여 항당뇨 작용 기전을 규명 하고자 하였다. 동충하초에서 분리 된 fraction A의 간세포내 glucokinase 활성은 대조군과 비교하여 C. militaris는 371.4%, P. japonica는 379%로 증가하였다. Fraction B의 활성은 C. miliraris 314.2%, P. japonim는 147.4% 증가하여 C. milifaris에서 추출된 fraction B는 P. japonin와 비교했을 때 2배 이상의 glucokinase의 활성 증가를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과를 근거로 C. militaris의 혈당 강하 작용을 in vivo에서 검증한 결과 C. militaris 첨가군의 glucokinase활성은 대조군에 비해 1300% 이상의 활성 증가를 나타냈다. 결론적으로 C. militaris추출물은 간세포 내 glucokinase활성을 현저히 증가시킴으로써 혈중 포도당의 급격한 상승을 억제할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
