Studies On The Health Care Function Of Lily DF

Lily is the dry fleshy bulb of the liliaceous plant. A lot of studies indicated that health care functional ingredients were found in the Lily such as starch. Lily amylose, Lily DF, Lily saponin, colchicines, and so on. However, it isn't reported about the health care function of Lily DF. So it is of great significance to search the functions of Lily DF for utilization.The function of health protection of DF was investigated using the dregs and DF of white trumpet lily and tiger lily as test materials with mices, in which the samples were prepared to the concentrations of 1.6g/kg, 7.8g/kg, and 15.6/kg body weight. The results as follows:Effects of the DF on the gastic-intestinal function of mice were evaluated based on the feeding weight, the alimental using coefficient, the defecating weight, the first defecating time, the moisture of the dejecta, the alvine advancing rate. The results showed the feeding weight and weight of mice fed by high and middle concentrations of Lily DF were significantly increased compared with control(pO.Ol); the alimental using coefficient fed by the high concentration was sharply increased(p<0.05); the alvine advancing rate of fed by the high and middle concentrations was increased significantly contrasted to the model control(p<0.01); the first defecating time of all groups were of great difference(p<0.01); the defecating weight and the moisture of the dejecta were obviously increased(p<0.01). It was concluded that the high concentration of Lily DF was the best to improve the gastic-intestinal function of mice.Influences of DF to the hyperglycemia mice were valued by the indices of the blood sugar value and the endurance of hyperglycemia mice due to alloxan. The results suggested that diabetes could be prevented, diabetes caused by alloxan could be cured, and that the endurance of hyperglycemia mice due to alloxan was improved.Effects on the hyperlipaemia and over-weighted mice: the adjustment to TC, LDL-C, TG, and HDL-C of mice was studied with the over-weighted mice as the control. The results demonstrated that the weight, TC, LDL-C, and arteriosclerosis index of all groups were obviously different (p<0.01). TG and HDL-C of high and middle concentration was of significant difference (p<0.01); the percent of LDL. Conclusion was that Lily DF held the function of moderating hyperlipaemia and losing weight.Through the analysis of bivariate correlations, not the kinds of Lily but the material and product adjusted the gastic-intestinal function and blood glucose greatly (C>0.05).As discussed above, the Lily held the functions of the gastic-intestinal function, decreasing blood glucose, moderating lipaemia, and losing weight. It could be pointed out that the DF had the health care function to people.
