Figure 6. Differences in the inhibitory effects of Lactococcus lactis #Ll-1 strain against dietary sucrose or glucose-induced increases in silkworm hemolymph glucose levels.

Figure 6

(a) Silkworms were fed a diet containing 10% (w/w) sucrose with or without the Lactococcus lactis #Ll-1 strain (0–50% [w/w] in diet) for 1 h. Glucose levels in the silkworm hemolymph were measured (n = 5/group). (b) Silkworms were fed a diet containing 10% (w/w) sucrose or glucose with or without Lactococcus lactis #Ll-1 strain (25% [w/w] in diet) for 1 h. Glucose levels in the silkworm hemolymph were measured (n = 5/group). (c) The α-glycosidase activity in the crude lysate of silkworm intestine in reaction mixtures with or without heat-killed Lactococcus lactis #Ll-1 strain (0–250 mg/ml) was measured (n = 3/group). pNP: p-nitrophenol. Data represent mean ± SEM. Statistically significant differences between groups were evaluated using Student’s t-test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. ***P < 0.001.
