Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, improvement effects and active components of extracts of Prunus mume concentration and Fructus mume on diabetes mellitus was studied. The water extract of Prunus mume concentration exhibited strong antioxidant activities and hypoglycemic action in in vivo experiments. On the other hand, higher antioxidant activities and hypoglycemic action of the 80% ethanol extract of Fructus mume carbon were observed. Moreover, the active fractions which provided antioxidant activities and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the water extract of Prunus mume concentration and Fructus mume carbon were fractionated by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
