Abstract:
To investigate typoglycemic activity with triterpene acid extracted from loquat leaf. Using gliclazide and metformin hydrochloride as the positive control, the influences of loquat leaf triterpenic acids extracts (LTAE) on fasting blood glucose levels of normal mice were investigated; the influences of LTAE on glucose and starch tolerance of normal taken orally and the influences ofLTAE on blood glucose levels of diabetic mice were all investigated. Compared with gliclazide (100 mg/kg, P <0.01), crude triterpenic acids from loquat leaf (CTAL) and corosolic acid from loquat leaf (CAL) have no effect on fasting blood glucose levels of normal mice;CTAL(400 mg/kg) can inhibit obviously the blood glucose rising after administrating glucose to fasting normal mice by i. g., it has equal effect with metformin hydrochloride. However, for CAL, this inhibiting effect is not obviousl; CTAL (400 mg/kg) can inhibit significantly the blood glucose rising after administrating starch to fasting normal mice by i. g., even stronger than metformin hydrochloride. CAL can inhibit this obviously too; Compared with gliclazide (100mg/kg, P <0.01), CTAL and CAL show no effect on blood glucose levels of diabetic mice. Loquat leaf extracts have a good control activity of postprandial blood glucose while they dont affect the normal glucose level. So we can say that these extracts have a good prospect of being developed into weight - loss products or related drugs.
