MATERIALS AND METHODS
Dilution series of ethanolic extracts of P. guajava leaves and bark were used for determining inhibitory activities against yeast α-glucosidase and porcine α-amylase. Skeletal muscle glucose uptake was measured using 2-deoxy-D-(1-3H)-glucose in murine C2C12 skeletal muscle cells. Hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase activity in rat hepatoma H4IIE cells and triglyceride accumulation in murine 3T3-L1 adipocyte-like cells were assessed using Wako AutoKit Glucose assays and AdipoRed reagent, respectively. Cells were incubated for 18 h with the maximal non-toxic concentrations of the plant extracts determined by the lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity assay.RESULTS
Ethanolic extracts of P. guajava leaf and bark inhibited α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 1.0 ± 0.3 and 0.5 ± 0.01 μg/mL, respectively. In the α-amylase inhibition assay, the ethanolic extract of bark of P. guajava showed an IC50 value of 10.6 ± 0.4 μg/mL. None of the extracts were able to reduce glucose-6-phosphatase activity in rat hepatoma H4IIE cells. In contrast, P. guajava leaf extract significantly increased 2-deoxy-D-[1-3H]-glucose uptake in C2C12 muscle cells (161.4 ± 10.1%, p = 0.0015) in comparison to the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) vehicle control, as did the reference compounds metformin (144.0 ± 7.7%, p = 0.0345) and insulin (141.5 ± 13.8%, p = 0.0495). Furthermore, P. guajava leaf and bark extract, as well as the reference compound rosiglitazone, significantly enhanced triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells (252.6 ± 14.2%, p < 0.0001, 211.1 ± 12.7%, p < 0.0001, and 201.1 ± 9.2%, p < 0.0001, respectively) to levels higher than the DMSO vehicle control. Moreover, P. guajava leaf extract significantly enhanced the triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells compared to rosiglitazone.
