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。892Please respect copyright.PENANALZDKHALode
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。892Please respect copyright.PENANAEXXV1s2keC

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。892Please respect copyright.PENANAmmPrKQ0mCb

(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。892Please respect copyright.PENANAH8h8qBirjZ
892Please respect copyright.PENANATLVpH3XRSW
892Please respect copyright.PENANAmG3TsbITib
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。892Please respect copyright.PENANAuYgtckGt9M
892Please respect copyright.PENANAi6aqbqqcXY
(圖3)根據口服藥物的配方不同,厚膜的特性亦能隨之轉變。892Please respect copyright.PENANApeqqhLPJlQ
892Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ9G6lumDx
892Please respect copyright.PENANAY98HFTqGiS
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。892Please respect copyright.PENANAUtxPngZsgU
892Please respect copyright.PENANAXPgofDQkpQ
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。892Please respect copyright.PENANAlIGBFu3UJX
892Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xi5niPkR8
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。892Please respect copyright.PENANAbC9hzvjKAx

(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。892Please respect copyright.PENANAaCFLX0fGap

老鼠服用藥物28日後,體重血壓等一切正常。892Please respect copyright.PENANAZS3cNm3pEC
892Please respect copyright.PENANAeqqf9OQ39T
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。892Please respect copyright.PENANAiEkPwVDsv3
