Outline of Final Research Achievements

With the westernization of lifestyles, the number of obese patients is increasing. In chronic liver disease such as fatty liver, which is frequently associated with obesity, glycemic control is poor. We investigated the blood glucose dynamics of patients with liver disease using a continuous blood glucose measuring device, CGMS. It was suggested that the use of Chinese herbal medicines such as Bofutsushosan resulted in improvement of glucose metabolism as well as weight loss. In the future, we plan to study what kind of Chinese medicine is suitable for what kind of people safely.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

慢性肝疾患の患者においては、食後の高血糖状態が持続することが分かった。また日内血糖変動幅についても高値であることが分かった。特に肥満患者においてはその傾向が強かった。肥満患者に防風通聖散を投与すると、体重の減少とともに、糖代謝が改善することとが分かった。今後は安全に漢方薬を継続するため、どのような患者に適しているのかについて検討していく予定である。
