Suppressive effects of Bombycis Feces (bombyx feces) and Bombyx Batryticatus (stiff silkworm) extracts on blood glucose level elevation in disaccharides ‐loaded rats
ConclusionBF and BB extracts were found to inhibit the elevated blood glucose level in disaccharides-loaded rats due to their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. The suppressive effects of BF and BB extracts as well as of the active constituent1 on the increase in blood glucose were estimated to dwindle at a limited time after administration. Therefore, it is suggested that BF and BB extracts might exert their effective antidiabetic effects when taken with meals. (Source: Traditional and Kampo Medicine)
