Five percent of kuroawabitake was mixed in a diet. Cellulose powder was used as a reference diet in place of kuroawabitake. These diets were given to diabetic mice induced by streptozotocin in order to measure which diet has a higher suppressive effect on blood sugar. The blood sugar increased about two times higher in two weeks in the diabetic mice than the mice fed cellulose or kuroawabitake diet. Kuroawabitake diet had a higher suppressive effect on blood sugar to some extent. Since cellulose itself is known to be liable to cause suppression of blood sugar, kuroawabitake would be more expected to be a hopeful functional food due to its higher suppressive effect., 論文}, pages = {345--349}, title = {[原著]Suppressive Effect of Kuroawabitake on Blood Sugar in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Mice}, volume = {12}, year = {1992} }
