[Study on reducing blood sugar of polysaccharide from Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinsk].
OBJECTIVE
To try to find Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinsk contains the polysaccharide complex with reducing blood-sugar activity or not.


METHODS
The Polysaccharide was extracted by ultrasonic wave. The diabetes model was induced by alloxan to verify the activity of the polysaccharide.


RESULTS
The content of the polgsccharide is 9.6% in Cyclocarya paliurus. The blood-sugar level of the polysaccharide group is lower by 41.3% than that of the diabetes model group. After ig glucose, the blood-sugar level of the pollysaccharide group was obviously lower than that of the diabetes model group.


CONCLUSIONS
Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinsk is rich in polysaccharide complex, which have obvious reducing blood-sugar activity and can improve the capability of glucose tolerance in diabetes mice.
