This study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effect of extract against carbohydrate digesting enzymes and its ability to ameliorate postprandial hyperglycemia in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. extract showed prominent α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory effects. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) of extract against α-glucosidase and α-amylase was 0.092±0.018 and 0.084±0.027 mg/mL, respectively, suggesting that the α-amylase inhibition activity of the extract was more effective than that of the positive control, acarbose (IC=0.164 mg/mL). The increase in postprandial blood glucose levels was more significantly alleviated in the extract group than in the control group of STZ-induced diabetic mice. Moreover, the area under the curve significantly decreased with extract administration in STZ-induced diabetic mice. These results suggest that extract may help alleviate postprandial hyperglycemia by inhibiting carbohydrate digesting enzymes.
