Suppression by water extracts of Sophora plants of sucrose-induced hyperglycemia in rats and inhibition of intestinal disaccharidases in vitro.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Partially purified hot-water extracts of the roots of plants of the Sophora family suppressed the increase in blood glucose concentration of rats in the oral sugar tolerance test. The extracts also inhibited rat intestinal sucrase and maltase. The most potent sample was about 15 times more active than catechin, a positive control, in these experiments.
