Herbridge, 5 Dec. 2011_New research published in the journal Science and Technology of Food Industry suggests that dioscoreae rhizome powder, saponins and flavones significantly decrease water-drinking volume and blood glucose level in diabetic mice.
Researchers investigated the effect of dioscorea rhizome-based polysaccharides, saponins and flavones on the glucose consumption of HepG2 cells and on the hypoglycemic action of diabetic mice which were induced by intra-abdominal injection of alloxan. They found that saponins dose-dependently increase glucose consumption in unit cell, and dioscoreae rhizome powder, saponins and flavones significantly decrease water-drinking volume and blood glucose level in diabetic mice, especially rhizome powder. They speculated that these three ingredients are synergetic in decreaseing blood glucose.
Researchers involved in the study are from College of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Southwest University, School of Life Science of Southwest University and Beibei Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital.
