Abstract

This study was performed to investigate improvements in diabetes mellitus by extracts of yacon in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Fifty rats were divided into a normal group and four experimental groups. STZ (45 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally to induce type I diabetes in the four experimental groups. Yacon extracts were administered for 5 weeks. Forty-five ICR mice were also divided into one positive control group and four experimental groups for the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) after fed yacon extract. The control group did not eat any yacon extracts, while Group 1 (GI) was fed 125 mg/kg of yacon extracts, Group 2 (GII) was fed 250 mg/kg of yacon extracts, and Group 3 (GIII) was fed 500 mg/kg of yacon extracts. After treatment for 5 weeks, blood glucose in GIII group showed decreased tendency at the 5 week. In OGTT by glucose, the glucose level of yacon treatment group in diabetic rats was significantly decreased compared to the glucose level of the control group, but there was no difference in OGTT by maltose. In ICR mice, the glucose level of the experimental group in OGTT by maltose was significantly decreased compared to the control group. The area of the islets of Langerhans was increased by yacon treatment in a dose-dependent manner on diabetic rats. Insulin concentration of the GIII group was also decreased compared to the control group, while the concentration of fructosamine, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in serum showed no difference. OGTT by glucose or maltose in ICR mice or diabetic rats, area of the Islets of Langerhans, and insulin concentration improved. Yacon treatment may be a useful therapeutic and preventive strategy for diabetes mellitus.

본 연구에서는 5주간 야콘 추출물을 경구투여 하여 STZ에 의한 제1형 당뇨모델에서 주간혈당, 경구 당부하 검사, 랑게르한스섬의 크기 및 혈중 내 인슐린 농도를 관찰함으로써 당뇨 개선에 대한 평가를 하였다. 7주령 SD rats은 normal군, control군(STZ), GI(STZ+125 mg/kg 야콘), GII(STZ+250 mg/kg 야콘)와 GIII(STZ+500 mg/kg 야콘)으로 군 구성을 하였다. 주간 체중은 군간 차이가 없었으며, 주간 혈당은 5주차의 control군에 비하여 GIII군에서 감소하는 경향이 나타났으나 통계학적인 유의성은 없었다. 경구당부하 검사 결과는 STZ으로 유도된 동물모델에서 glucose 투여에 의한 혈당변화는 유의하게 감소하였고 maltose 투여에 의한 혈당변화는 감소하는 경향은 나타났으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. 또한 ICR계 mice에서의 경구 당부하 검사에서 maltose에 의한 혈당변화는 control군에 비하여 GIII군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 더욱이 STZ에 의해 감소한 랑게르한스섬의 크기가 유의하게 증가되었으며, 비슷한 결과로 혈중 인슐린 농도가 증가되었다. 그러나 혈중 fructosamine, total cholesterol 및 triglyceride의 농도는 유의한 차이를 관찰할 수 없었다. 본 연구에서는 5주간의 야콘 추출물 섭취가 경구당부하 검사, 췌장조직 내 랑게르한스섬의 크기 및 혈중 인슐린 농도를 개선시킴으로써 당뇨 개선에 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.
