Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was undertaken in order to elucidate the effects of raw, roast and steamed buckwheat on fecal protein, pancreas weight, the activities of α-amylase, chymotrypsin and lipase of the pancreas, and α-amylase, chymotrypsin and trypsin activities of the feces in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Fecal proteins of raw, roast and steamed buckwheat diabetic groups were increased up to 99%, 91%, 103%, respectively compared to those of the diabetic control group. Feeding of buckwheat diet increased pancreas weight, especially raw buckwheat diabetic group(p＜0.05). Pancreatic chymo-trypsin activity was decreased in buckwheat diabetic groups compared to diabetic control group, whereas any significant difference was observed in α-amylase and lipase activities. Fecal chymotrypsin activi-ty was significantly increased in all buckwheat diabetic groups. Fecal trypsin activity was increased in roast buckwheat diabetic groups compared to diabetic control group and fecal α-amylase activity in buckwheat diabetic group was not significantly different. These results suggest that feeding of buckwheat diet enhances the impaired exocrine pancreatic function of diabetic rat.
