“…One therapeutic approach for treating diabetes is decreasing post-prandial hyperglycemia by delaying glucose absorption through carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes inhibition, α-glucosidase and α-amylase in the digestive tract. Inhibitors of these enzyme delay carbohydrate digestion and prolong overall carbohydrate digestion time, causing a reduction in the rate of glucose absorption and consequently blunting the postprandial plasma glucose rise (Rhabasa-Lhoret and Chiasson, 2004;Bhandari et al, 2008;Ban et al, 2009). Recently, considerable interest has been generated by a novel class of antihyperglycemic agents that act at distinct levels of the incretin pathway.…”

“…Therefore, many studies have been conducted to find effective inhibitors of α-glucosidase and α-amylase from natural materials and to develop physiological functional food for treating DM [7] [25]. Our results show that inhibition ability of hot water extract (HWGT) for α-glucosidase from yeast were better than that of rat small intestine (p = 0.013).…”

“…In the present study the TCME shown significantα-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activity but it is unclear whether the mechanism of inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase by TCME is due to the competitive and noncompetitive method. The fact that α-amylase and α-glucosidase showed different inhibition kinetics seemed to be due to structural differences related to the origins of the enzymes [35]. However, the inhibition rate for α-glucosidase was close to that of acarbose, but the inhibition rate for α-amylase was obviously lower than that of nojirimycine.…”

“…Skeletal muscle represents 30-40% of the total body weight and seems to be one of the most important target tissues for the action of insulin and for the uptake of glucose at the peripheral level [37]. It is a well-known fact that insulin and antidiabetic drugs promote glucose uptake by peripheral cells and tissues [35]. Another important finding of this work is that TCME possesses considerable insulin-like properties, as evidenced by the enhancement of glucose uptake in the diaphragm, which represents muscle cells that are a major site of insulin-mediated glucose disposal.…”
