Abstract

The antidiabetic effect of Calcium Ion $Water^{\circledR}$ ($CIW^{\circledR}$) was investigated in neonatal streptozotocin (90 ㎎/㎏, i.p.)-induced noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in Sprague Dawley rats. The rats were divided into three groups: normal control, NIDDM control, and NIDDM + $CIW^{\circledR}$. $CIW^{\circledR}$ treatment for 8 weeks resulted in a significant decrease in the concentration of blood glucose and an increase in the level of serum insulin in NIDDM rats. The blood glucose and serum insulin levels were significantly lower and higher, respectively, than those of the NIDDM control group after 4 weeks of $CIW^{\circledR}$ treatment. The changes of body weight in all experimental groups were not different among normal control, NIDDM control, and NIDDM + $CIW^{\circledR}$. In conclusion, these results indicate that $CIW^{\circledR}$ can be used as an antidiabetic functional drink because it increases insulin level in blood and concomitantly decreases blood glucose level.
