Abstract

Hyperglycemia is a biochemically defined initial symptom of diabetes and its serious complications (atherosclerosis, retinopathy, kidney damage). Pectins are currently considered as novel plant-produced hypoglycemic agents. The aim of this study was to evaluate bio-functional properties of pumpkin pectin obtained from pumpkin pulp using cavitation-membrane technologies in a model of alloxan-induced diabetes. Methods. Male Wistar rats were used in the experiments. Diabetes was modeled by injections of 4.3% alloxan monohydrate solution. The development of diabetes was confirmed by glucose concentration in peripheral blood (glucose levels of >
