Abstract

The preventive actions of methanol extracts from Ribes diacanthum Pall. (RDP) against high blood glucose levels in alloxan-induced diabetic mice were investigated. ICR mice (male, 8 wks) were divided into four experimental groups: a normal group (N), an alloxan-induced group (control), a RDP 1 mg/kg b.w./day + alloxan group (RDP-1) and a RDP 3 mg/kg b.w./day + alloxan group (RDP-2). Mice were fed RDP extracts for 14 days and then a diabetic condition induced by injecting alloxan (50 mg/kg b.w. i.v.). The total phenolic contents of RDP were 0.508 mg/g. Plasma glucose levels were significantly lower in RDP groups (RDP+alloxan) than the control (alloxan-induced diabetic group). In an oral glucose tolerance test, the glucose levels of RDP extract groups were significantly decreased compared to the control group. The levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, AST, ALT, uric acid, and blood urea nitrogen in serum were lower in the RDP groups than the control group, whereas levels of HDL-cholesterol showed no difference between treatment groups. We conclude that RDP extracts positively influence blood glucose levels in diabetic mice.

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.
