tubers water extracts as well as, yacon root tubers suspensions effects on
glucose tolerance in animals with experimental diabetes mellitus. It has been
shown that the studied yacon extracts and suspensions at the dose of 0.5 g/kg
produce significant hypoglycemic effect under the experimental diabetes
mellitus. The glucose tolerance test and the analysis of the area under the
glycemic curves revealed that yacon root tubers in the form of a stabilized
suspension exert the best hypoglycemic effect.
Key words:
Yacon (Smallanthus
sonchifolius
Poepp. and Endl.), diabetes mellitus, hypoglycemic effect.
