Abstract

STZ(Streptozotocin)를 이용하여 제 1형 당뇨를 유발시킨 생쥐에게 해양심층수를 음용시켜, 혈당치의 변화 및 파괴된 췌도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 그 결과 수돗물을 음용시킨 생쥐에 비해서 해양심층수를 음용시킨 생쥐의 혈당이 낮아지고, 파괴되었던 췌도의 면적이 넓어졌으며, 췌도 내에 정상적인 <TEX>$\beta$</TEX>-세포의 수도 많아진 점으로부터, 해양심층수의 음용이 당뇨병의 증상완화에 효과가 있음이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 효과는 해양심층수에 포함된 <TEX>$Mg^{2+}$</TEX>의 효과인 것으로 생각되었다. Effects of deep sea water on blood glucose and the Langerhans' islet in STZ-induced type I diabetic mice were investigated. Results showed that diabetic symptoms in STZ-induced diabetic mice improve with a supplement of deep sea water. That is, the level of blood glucose was lower, the area of the Langerhan' islet was wider, and the number of pancreatic <TEX>$\beta$</TEX>-cells was larger in the diabetic mice supplied with deep sea water than in the diabetic mice supplied with tap water. Such effects might be related to the high level of Mg<TEX>$^{2+}$</TEX> in the deep sea water.
