- Abstract
The article presents a study which revealed that the metabolic extract of pasuchaca (PsEx) will suppress blood glucose elevation after oral administration of sucrose, maltose and starch. The examination of the inhibitory effect of PsEx on maltase activity showed that PsEx inhibited mouse small intestine maltase activity. The inhibitory effect of PsEx might contribute to delay in carbohydrate digestion and lowering of the blood glucose level which leads to prevention and cure of diabetes.
