A hypoglycemic peptide, Polypeptide-p, has been isolated from fruit, seeds, and tissue of Momordica charantia Linn (bitter gourd). Amino acid analysis indicates a minimum molecular weight of approximately 11,000 (166 residues). Polypeptide-p is a very effective hypoglycemic agent when administered subcutaneously to gerbils, langurs, and humans.
一种降血糖肽,即多肽-p,已从苦瓜(Momordica charantia Linn)的果实、种子和组织中分离出来。氨基酸分析表明其最小分子量约为11,000(166个残基)。当对沙鼠、叶猴和人类皮下给药时,多肽-p是一种非常有效的降血糖剂。
