The effect of phytic acid on the levels of blood glucose and
some enzymes of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Dilworth
LL, Omoruyi FO, Simon OR, Morrison EY, Asemota HN West Indian
Med J. 2005 Mar ; 54(2): 102-6
In this study, six groups of rats were fed as follows: Groups
1 and 2 were fed formulated diets supplemented with zinc or
without zinc respectively. Groups 3 and 4 were fed formulated
diets supplemented with zinc plus phytic acid extracted from
sweet potato (Ipomea batatas) or commercial phytic acid
respectively. Groups 5 and 6 were fed formulated diets
supplemented with phytic acid extract from sweet potato or
commercial phytic acid respectively. The animals were fed for
three weeks and then sacrificed The activities of key enzymes
of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism as well as transaminases
in the liver were determined. Blood glucose level was also
assessed. Phytic acid extract consumption from sweet potato
and commercial phytic acid plus zinc supplement lowered blood
glucose levels. There was no significant change in the
activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase among the groups.
Similarly, phytic acid supplementation showed no significant
decrease in the activity of pyruvate kinase compared to the
group fed formulated diets. There was a significant increase
in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the
groups fed phytic extract from sweet potato compared to the
other groups. The activities of malic enzyme and ATP-citrate
lyase in this study were not significantly altered among the
groups. There is a lowering of blood glucose levels which is
desirable for diabetics who consume sweet potato diets. The
changes in some of the hepatic metabolic enzymes are geared
towards compensating for the decreased glycolytic responses.
