腸道是人體吸收葡萄糖的主要地方,亦是消化乳糖酵素(Lactase)的聚居地。861Please respect copyright.PENANAEll3NXN5u1
缺乏Lactase的人並不建議進食含有乳糖的產品,否則會釀起肚痾、腹痛、作嘔等症狀,學名為Lactose Intolerance。861Please respect copyright.PENANAiq8rNY2de6

同時,腸道亦是寄生蟲的蝸居,飲用不乾淨水的話有機會讓血吸蟲寄生在腸道之中,引起血吸蟲病(Schistosomiasis),為全球第二大僅次於瘧疾(Malaria)的寄生蟲病。861Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ0r2ld5ul

(圖2)近日,有科學家發表文章(Ref1),他們研發出一款口服藥物,主要利用豬隻作為動物模型,證實豬隻吞下藥物後的12分鐘會腸道形成厚膜。861Please respect copyright.PENANAsk49VqVLil
861Please respect copyright.PENANABBGJ7HGrQD
861Please respect copyright.PENANATHEvGkreVG
此厚膜不會在其他器官上形成,而在24小時後厚膜亦會自然脫落,排出體外。861Please respect copyright.PENANAlmBim8Zunx
861Please respect copyright.PENANABAWfsLDOGA
(圖3)根據口服藥物的配方不同,厚膜的特性亦能隨之轉變。861Please respect copyright.PENANAV7BO5bDKgR
861Please respect copyright.PENANADX7daBO6T6
861Please respect copyright.PENANA6JYAhb7cEi
厚膜可配載消化乳糖酵素(Lactase),對比沒有厚膜,能增強20倍酵素的能力,可消除Lactose Intolerance的問題。861Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y5HkiqQlr
861Please respect copyright.PENANAIl3AOVIBbZ
而增強厚膜密度的話,亦可減少腸道吸收葡萄糖七成能力,這特點尤其受益於糖尿病人,能大幅度阻上血糖飄升。861Please respect copyright.PENANAM6XBvdRlhc
861Please respect copyright.PENANAY3q3MfGItN
另外,厚膜亦可配載殺寄生蟲藥(Praziquantel),增加藥物滯留在腸道的時間,更有效率殺滅寄生蟲。861Please respect copyright.PENANAWP85ekrGgv

(圖4)最為振奮的是,此方法在人類腸道組織亦見效,而且藥物對各種實驗室人體細胞亦無呈現有害效果。861Please respect copyright.PENANANrcBfo5rXP

老鼠服用藥物28日後,體重血壓等一切正常。861Please respect copyright.PENANABDboWRwUDz
861Please respect copyright.PENANAo5patOWgmr
若然此藥物能進一步在人類進行試驗的話,確立藥物運作正常及不會帶來任何副作用或安全問題的話,絕對大有潛質會成為治理糖尿病的新一代藥物。861Please respect copyright.PENANAFPw4gT2gnB
