Journal ArticleDOI
α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Profile of Catechins and Theaflavins
Toshiro Matsui,Takashi Tanaka,Satomi Tamura,Asami Toshima,Kei Tamaya,Yuji Miyata,Kazunari Tanaka,Kiyoshi Matsumoto +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that TF-3-O-Gal can suppress glucose production from maltose through inhibition of AGH in the gut through the effects of catechins and theaflavins against alpha-glucosidase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of α-glucosidase inhibitors from a new fermented tea obtained by tea-rolling processing of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) and green tea leaves.

TL;DR: Catechins were the main candidates responsible for alpha-glucosidase or maltase inhibition in LG tea, followed by theaflavins, theasinensins, strictinin and 1,6-digalloylglucose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppression of blood glucose level by a new fermented tea obtained by tea‐rolling processing of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) and green tea leaves in disaccharide‐loaded Sprague‐Dawley rats
Kei Tamaya,Toshiro Matsui,Asami Toshima,Mai Noguchi,Qiu Ju,Yuji Miyata,Takashi Tanaka,Kazunari Tanaka +7 more
TL;DR: No significant change in BGL was observed when sucrose or glucose was administered, suggesting that the suppression effect of LG tea was achieved by maltase inhibition, not by sucrase inhibition or glucose transport inhibition at the intestinal membrane.
