Abstract

Hypoglycemic activity of Opuntia ficus-indica var. sabotan on alloxan or streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice was investigated. Fructus and folium of Opuntia ficus-indica vars. sabotan inhibited intestinal ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ of rats as well as glucose elevation in blood of normal mice, Opuntia ficus-indica var. sabotan exhibited inhibitory activities on streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice rather than on alloxan-induced diabetic mice loaded with maltose and sucrose. Its folium was more effective than its fructus. These results suggest that Opuntia ficus-indica var. sabotan might be effective on diabetic mellitus.

Alloxan 및 streptozotocin 유도 당뇨모델 동물에서 손바닥 선인장 (Opuntia ficus-indica fructus)의 혈당강하효과를 조사하였다. 손바닥 선인장의 열매와 잎은 in vitro에서 흰쥐의 소장 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$를 농도의존적으로 저해하였다. 손바닥 선인장의 열매와 잎으로 정상 생쥐와 streptozotocin으로 유도한 당뇨 모델 생쥐에서 Opuntia ficus-indica의 혈당강하 효과를 조사한 결과 maltose, sucrose 부하에 의한 혈당 상승을 농도 의존적으로 유의하게 억제하였다. 그러나 alloxan 유도 당뇨모델 동물에서는 혈당강하효과가 약하였다. 아울러 이 손바닥 선인장 잎과 열매는 정상 생쥐에서도 혈당강하효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 손바닥 선인장은 인슐린 의존형인 제 1형 당뇨에 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
