ABSTRACT
A crossover study was conducted to evaluate suppressive effect of a commercially available green juice (Katuna-Aojiru;Egao Co., Ltd.) containing mulberry leaf powder as the main ingredient on postprandial hyperglycemia. The blood glucose and iAUC (0-120min) values after loading cooked white rice were significantly lower with the consumption of Katuna-Aojiru than with the consumption of water. Katuna-Aojiru is effective in controlling postprandial blood glucose.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine 1-deoxynojirimycin(DNJ) from mulberry resources and analyse their bioactivities.Methods Determination of DNJ by derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate(FMOC-Cl) and followed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC) and a fluorescence detector;the inhibitory curves on ?glucosidase at the enzymatic level and the activities to(?-)glucosidase in vitro were observed in the everted sac experiment.Results A reliable quantitative method suitable for assays of DNJ from mulberry resources has been developed.The inhibitory curves of the extracts on ?-glucosidase were parallel to those of DNJ.The extracts can inhibit hydrolyzation of starch and absorption of glucose.Conclusion The medicinal parts from mulberry resources can be used for diabetic therapy as ?-glucosidase inhibitor.
ABSTRACT
0.05). CONCLUSION: Two methods are of good reproducibility and sensitivity, and can be used for the quality control of DNJ in Cortex Mori.
