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。875Please respect copyright.PENANA2gK53HlxGZ
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。875Please respect copyright.PENANA6f1tfAq9Rh

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。875Please respect copyright.PENANAFAMoc80LLj

(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。875Please respect copyright.PENANAh222NquQ2f
875Please respect copyright.PENANA8ATuMwFLcb
875Please respect copyright.PENANAYsSujRjWCA
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。875Please respect copyright.PENANAHsjJEOiL4k
875Please respect copyright.PENANAq1RpTowKkY
(圖3)根據口服藥物的配方不同,厚膜的特性亦能隨之轉變。875Please respect copyright.PENANAHHFkOgAiiA

875Please respect copyright.PENANAHUQ9YnWpej
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。875Please respect copyright.PENANADrM4hgTQ67
875Please respect copyright.PENANAFX4FJPwSx0
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。875Please respect copyright.PENANAa7sGCWiAhB
875Please respect copyright.PENANAz2LetTWksX
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。875Please respect copyright.PENANAT2J0QM0B69

(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。875Please respect copyright.PENANAR1wFActPMy

老鼠服用藥物28日後,體重血壓等一切正常。875Please respect copyright.PENANAIyLd2302Ot
875Please respect copyright.PENANAOUp2iQXGt0
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。875Please respect copyright.PENANAOPjDL9GLAS
