Abstract

The antidiabetic activity of the rhizoma of Anemarrhena asphodeloides was investigated in KK-Ay mice, an animal model of genetic type 2 diabetes. The water extract of the rhizoma (AA) (90 mg/kg) reduced blood glucose levels from 570 +/- 29 to 401 +/- 59 mg/dl 7 h after oral administration (p<0.05) and also tended to reduce serum insulin levels in KK-Ay mice. AA-treated KK-Ay mice had significantly reduced blood glucose levels in an insulin tolerance test. Based on these results, the antidiabetic mechanism of AA may be due to decreased insulin resistance. In addition, the active components of AA were confirmed to be mangiferin and its glucoside.

  • Mangiferin is the main effective component of Anemarrhena asphodeloides.

    “Mangiferin is the main effective component of Anemarrhena asphodeloides (109).”

    From Mangiferin: An effective therapeutic agent against several disorders (Review) (2018) · cites this paper as [109]

    The Materials section identifies mangiferin as a constituent of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, and the Effects section reports its antidiabetic activity in mice. But that section reports similar activity for mangiferin’s glucoside; the paper does not establish mangiferin as the main effective component. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Anemarrhena asphodeloides has antiviral and antibacterial activities.

    “Anemarrhena asphodeloides, a plant widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, has been reported to possess antiviral and antibacterial activities (109).”

    From Mangiferin: An effective therapeutic agent against several disorders (Review) (2018) · cites this paper as [109]

    The Abstract and Discussion address traditional use and antidiabetic effects of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, but neither addresses antiviral or antibacterial activity. Searches of our copy for antiviral, antibacterial, virus, bacteria, and antimicrobial activity found no passage supporting the cited claim. No page numbers were available for these passages.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
