A system using immobilized enzyme according to Oki et al., [Biol. Pharm. Bull. 23(9) 1084-1087 (2000)], which mimics the small intestinal membrane, was applied to the screening of several kinds of vegetables, fruits and herbs in terms of their inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase (AGH).AGH was partially purified from hog intestinal membrane by salting out, followed by immobilization on CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B as a matrix. As substrate, p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (PNPG) was employed, producing p-nitrophenol (p-NP) by enzymic hydrolysis. Seven vegetables (Japanese radish, cabbage, onion, Chinese cabbage, tomato, cucumber, and carrot), 5 fruits (mandarin, apple, watermelon, melon, and grapefruit) and 4 herbs (Italian parsley, rucola, mache, and dill) were subjected to evaluations of the inhibitory effect on AGH.All of the test samples exerted an inhibitory effect on immobilized AGH (iAGH). Raw Chinese cabbage and boiled tomato among vegetables, mandarin among fruits and dill among herbs exerted the strongest inhibitory effect on iAGH.

The effects of single administration of Lactobacillus plantarum No. 14 (LP14) on human body temperature and factors related to sympathetic nerves were measured in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study. LP14 significantly increased chest temperature (P < 0.05). The maximum difference in temperature between LP14 and placebo was 0.24 ± 0.24℃. Systolic blood pressure increased significantly, and arousal scores tended to increase in the LP14 group. The results of the Uchida-Kraepelin test indicated that LP14 elevated task performance. Our results demonstrated that LP14 induced thermogenesis in humans. We also examined the activity of the sympathetic nerves (SNA) innervating brown adipose tissue (BAT) in rats. The activity of BAT-SNA was significantly enhanced in the LP14 group. As LP14 changed factors associated with sympathetic nerves in humans and elevated sympathetic nerve activity in rats, sympathetic nerve activation appears to participate in thermogenesis elicited by LP14.
