β¦ Synopsis
A study was made on the mechanism by which the consumption of peas affects beneficially the glycaemia in a rat model of non-insulin-dependent diabetes. With a standard diet, the diabetic rats showed elevated glycaemia throughout the study, varying between 8.3 and 10.0 mmol/L. With the administration of a diet of peas, the glycaemia in the diabetic rats declined significantly from the second day, and stayed at levels near normal for the rest of the study. A significant inhibitory activity of the pancreatic amylase enzyme was detected in the raw pea extract. A possible mechanism of the hypoglycaemic effect of a diet of peas might therefore reside partially in its inhibitory effect on carbohydrate digestion.
