The anti-hyperglycemic effect of 12 edible plants was studied on 27 healthy rabbits, submitted weekly to subcutaneous glucose tolerance tests after gastric administration of water, tolbutamide or a traditional preparation of the plant. Tolbutamide, Cucurbita ficifolia, Phaseolus vulgaris, Opuntia streptacantha, Spinacea oleracea, Cucumis sativus and Cuminum cyminum decrease significantly the area under the glucose tolerance curve and the hyperglycemic peak. Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, Allium cepa and Allium sativum only decrease the hyperglycemic peak. The glycemic decreases caused by Psidium guajava, Brassica oleracea and Lactuca sativa var. romana were not significant (P > .05). The integration of a menu that includes the edible plants with hypoglycemic activity for the control and prevention of diabetes mellitus may be possible and recommendable.
对27只健康兔子研究了12种可食用植物的抗高血糖作用，每周在经胃给予水、甲苯磺丁脲或植物传统制剂后进行皮下葡萄糖耐量试验。甲苯磺丁脲、黑籽南瓜、菜豆、刺梨仙人掌、菠菜、黄瓜和孜然显著降低葡萄糖耐量曲线下面积和高血糖峰值。花椰菜、洋葱和大蒜仅降低高血糖峰值。番石榴、羽衣甘蓝和罗马生菜引起的血糖降低不显著（P>.05）。将具有降血糖活性的可食用植物纳入饮食以控制和预防糖尿病可能是可行且值得推荐的。
