Recently, the prevalence of diabetes and metabolic syndrome is increasing and has become a social problem. Considering the fact that many Koreans consumed fermented milk, this study was performed to determine the positive effect of fermented milk with indigestible dextrin formulation (Dr. Insue) for patients impaired glucose tolerance or potentially metabolic syndrome, diabetic. Long-term drinking of fermented milk, Dr. Insue did not cause the rise in blood glucose after a meal and has no side effects such as discomfort digestive-organ in spite of intake 12 wk. Also, It confirmed that there is no adverse effect about hematological and biochemical tests, including glycosylated hemoglobin. It is suggested that fermented milk, Dr.Insue is suitable beverage for potentially diabetic patients with metabolic syndrome of impaired glucose tolerance. Additionally, it should be considered to be a means to investigate the changes of cardiovascular risk of ingestion of the fermented milk and research through the increases the amount indigestible dextrin formulation or extending the period of intake.

This study was designed in order to determine the influences of haw (Crataegus pinnatifida BUNGE) on the lipid metabolism syndrome. Sprague Dawley rats, 7 weeks old, were given four different types of diets for 5 weeks: ND group (noncholesterolemic diet), HE group (non cholesterolemic diet+haw extract), CD group (cholesterolemic diet), CH group (cholesterolemic diet+haw extract). Concentrations of LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid, free cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, blood glucose were remarkably higher in the CD group than the other groups. But by treatment of haw extract group with cholesterolemic diet (CH group) were significantly decreased compared with CD group. Cholesteryl ester ratio was no difference between CD group and CH group. These results indicate that Crataegus pinnatifida BUNGE would be effective in lipid metabolism syndrome.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of Cordyceps militaris extract supplementation on the improvement of blood glucose, lipid compositions and hepatic functional enzyme activities in the serum of streptozotocin(STZ, 50 mg/kg BW, IP injection)-induced diabetic rats fed the experimental diets for 5 weeks. The concentrations of blood glucose and lipid compositions(total cholesterol, β-lipoprotein, free cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, triglyceride and phospholipid) and atherosclerotic index in serum were significantly lower in the DM+CM group than in the DM group, whereas the ratio of HDL-cholesterol concentration to total cholesterol in the DM+CM group were higher than in the DM group.
The activities of hepatic functional enzymes(aminotransferase, LDH and ALP) in serum were lower in the Cordyceps militaris extract administration group(group DM+CM) than in the hyperglycemic DM group. The results shown above suggested that Cordyceps militaris extract supplementation effectively improves blood glucose and atherosclerosis in the serum of diabetic rats.
혈당저하를 위한 천연물복합제를 한의학 처방 및 문헌 등을 기초로 하여 구성하고, 기능성 식품 소재로서의 이용가능성을 조사하기 위하여 추출물의 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 천연물복합제 5가지 추출물의 수율은 의 범위로 나타났으며, 총페놀성 화합물 함량은 , 총 플라보노이드 함량은 의 범위로 조사되었다. 특히 2번, 3번 및 5번 복합제에서 1,000 mg% 이상의 높은 함량을 나타내었으며, 전자공여능 또한 이들 복합제에서 높은 활성을 보여주었다.
