Traditional Indian medicine, herb Salacia oblonga may help treat
diabetes Posted By: News-Medical in Medical Study News Published:
Tuesday, 8-Feb-2005 Printer Friendly Email to a Friend : : : : Herbs
used in traditional Indian medicine to treat diabetes seems to lower
blood sugar and insulin levels in a manner similar to prescription
drugs, a new study reports. Researchers gave extracts of the herb
Salacia oblonga to 39 healthy adults, and the results were promising.
The largest dose of the herb extract - 1,000 milligrams - decreased
insulin and blood glucose levels by 29 and 23 percent, respectively. :
: "These kinds of reductions are similar to what we might see with
prescription oral medications for people with diabetes," said Steve
Hertzler, a study co-author and an assistant professor of nutrition at
Ohio State University. : : Salacia oblonga, which is native to regions
of India and Sri Lanka, binds to intestinal enzymes that break down
carbohydrates in the body. These enzymes, called alpha-glucosidases,
turn carbohydrates into glucose, the sugar that circulates throughout
the body. If the enzyme binds to the herbal extract rather than to a
carbohydrate, then less glucose gets into the blood stream, resulting
in lowered blood glucose and insulin levels. : : "Lowering blood
glucose levels lowers the risk of disease-related complications in
people with diabetes," Hertzler said. "Also, poor compliance with
diabetes medications often hinders the effectiveness of these drugs. It
may be easier to get someone to take an herb with food or in a
beverage, as opposed to a pill." : : The study appears in a recent
issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. : :
Thirty-nine healthy adults participated in four separate meal tolerance
tests. These meals, which were given in beverage form, were spaced
three to 14 days apart. Each participant fasted for at least 10 hours
before consuming the test beverage. : : Participants were asked to
drink about two cups' worth of the chilled beverage, which contained
zero, 500, 700 or 1,000 milligrams of Salacia oblonga extract.
Afterward, the researchers used the finger-prick method to draw blood
samples from each person every 15 to 30 minutes for three hours. These
blood samples were used to determine insulin and blood glucose
concentrations. The biggest changes in blood glucose and insulin levels
usually happen within the first two hours after eating. : : The
beverage that contained the highest concentration of the herbal extract
- 1,000 milligrams - provided the most dramatic reduction in insulin
and blood glucose levels. Insulin levels were 29 percent lower, while
blood glucose levels were 23 percent lower as compared to the control
drink, which contained no herbal extract. : : As Salacia oblonga can
cause intestinal gas, the researchers had the study participants
collect breath hydrogen samples hourly for eight hours after drinking
the test beverage. The participants collected their breath in small
plastic tubes. The researchers then analyzed these breath samples for
hydrogen and methane content - the level of either substance in the
breath corresponds to the level contained in the colon. : : The
subjects also rated the frequency and intensity of nausea, abdominal
cramping and distention and gas for two days after consuming each test
meal. : : While the test beverages containing Salacia oblonga caused an
increase in breath hydrogen excretion, reports of gastrointestinal
discomfort were minimal, Hertzler said. : : Right now he and his
colleagues are trying to figure out what dose of the herb is most
effective, and when it should be taken relative to a meal. : : "We want
to know how long it takes for the herb to bind to the enzymes that
break down carbohydrates," Hertzler said. "The participants in this
study took the herb with their meal, but maybe taking it before eating
would be even more effective." : : The researchers also want to study
the effects of Salacia oblonga in people with diabetes. : : "A lot of
studies show that lowering blood sugar levels reduces the risk for all
kinds of diabetes-related complications, such as kidney disease and
nerve and eye damage," Hertzler said. "We want to see if this herb has
this kind of effect." : : Salacia oblonga is still relatively difficult
to find in the United States, Hertzler said, although there are
manufacturers that sell the herb through the Internet. : : This study
was supported by the Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories in
Columbus. : : Hertzler is continuing to conduct Salacia oblonga studies
with the Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories. He has no links
to the company beyond this affiliation. : : Hertzler conducted the work
with former Ohio State colleague Patricia Heacock, who is now at
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; Jennifer Williams, a
clinical scientist with Ross Products Division, Abbott Laboratories;
and Bryan Wolf, a former research scientists with Ross Products
Division
