ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Pu-erh tea was presumed to have anti-hyperglycemic effects via inhibition on alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase. However, no integerated literatures were published to substantiate such presumption.METHODS:
Current study adopted systemic review method to validate inhibitory effects on alpha amylase and alpha-glucosidase. Five English databases (PubMed, EBSCO, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, Web of Science) and three Chinese ones (Airti Library, CNKI Library, and Google Scholar) were searched up to 22 March 2018 for eligible literatures, using keywords of Pu-erh, Pu'er, alpha-amylase or alpha-glucosidase.RESULTS:
Six studies exploring inhibitory effects on alpha-glucosidase and seven on alpha-amylase were included for systemic review. Though results showed pu-erh tea has significant inhibitory effects on alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase, high heterogeneity was detected among studies included.CONCLUSIONS:
High heterogeneity may be due to complex alterations of chemicals under different degrees of fermentation. More future studies are required to further identify principal bioactive component(s) at work.
