Anti-Diabetic Activities of Aqueous Extract from Actinidia kolomikta Root Against α- glucosidase
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study was to evaluate the anti-diabetic activity of the aqueous extract of Actinidia kolomikta root against baker's yeast α-glucosidase and rat intestinal α-glucosidase. As a result, the aqueous extract of Actinidia kolomikta root exhibited excellent baker's yeast α-glucosidase inhibitory activity which was better than acarbose. It also showed rat intestinal α-glucosidase inhibitory activity not only in maltase, but also in sucrase in a dose dependent manner. With these results, it can be concluded that Actinidia kolomikta root existed the anti-diabetic activity depend on their inhibitory activity on glucose absorption in the small intestine. The results also give scientific support to the utilization of Actinidia kolomikta root as folklore medicine for the treatment of diabetes.
