A number of studies have proposed an anti-diabetic effect for tarchonanthuslactone based on its structural similarity with caffeic acid, a compound known for its blood glucose-reducing properties. However, the actual effect of tarchonanthuslactone on blood glucose level has never been tested. Here, we report that, in opposition to the common sense, tarchonanthuslactone has a glucose-increasing effect in a mouse model of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The effect is acute and non-cumulative and is present only in diabetic mice. In lean, glucose-tolerant mice, despite a slight increase in blood glucose levels, the effect was not significant.
许多研究基于其与
咖啡酸(一种以其降低血糖特性而闻名的化合物)的结构相似性,提出了塔千花内酯的抗糖尿病作用。然而,塔花内酯对血糖
水平的实际影响从未被测试过。在此,我们报告称,与常识相反,花木内酯在肥胖和 2 型糖尿病小鼠模型中具有升糖作用。该作用是急性的且非累积性的,并且仅存在于糖尿病小鼠中。在瘦的、耐
葡萄糖的小鼠中,尽管血糖
水平略有升高,但效果并不显着。
