We have shown previously that Japanese radish (Raphanus sativus) sprouts (JRS) improve blood glucose levels in diabetic rats. In this study, we investigated the components in JRS that caused this hypoglycemic effect, by examining the effects of water-soluble (WSE) and fat-soluble (FSE) extracts of

No information is available about the effects of Japanese radish sprout (JRS) on diabetes. To clarify the effects, the influence of JRS on carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms was investigated in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
