The concentration ofAGH inhibitor required for inhibiting 50z of theAGH activity under these assay conditions wasdeˆned as the IC50 value. The animal experiments inSD rat were done as follows. Male 6-week-oldSprague-Dawley rats (SPF WVAF Crj:SD, Charles River Japan, Kanagawa) were fed a laboratory diet(CE-2, Clea Japan, Tokyo) and given water ad libi-tum.

Although their experimental results might be correctwithin the conventional baker's yeast AGH inhibito-ry assay system, the fact that the BGL in SD ratadministered luteolin was not suppressed (Fig. 2)supported the validity of the in vitro results from ourproposed i AGH assay system (Fig. 1).
In conclusion, it was found that luteolin did not possess an in vivo suppression eŠect on glucoseproduction from carbohydrates through AGH inhi-bition in the gut.
