Anti-hyperglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of baechukimchi with Ecklonia cava were investigated in type 2 diabetic db/db mice. Baechukimchi with 15% added E. cava (BKE) was fermented at 5°C for 28 days to obtain optimally ripened BKE (pH 4.28, acidity 0.71). BKE was subjected to extraction using 80% methanol. Male db/db mice were divided into groups of db/db-control, db/db-BKE, and db/db-rosiglitazone (db/db-RG). Compounds were orally administered every day for 6 weeks. The db/db-BKE mice had lowered blood glucose and plasma insulin levels. Plasma total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL-cholesterol levels in db/db-BKE mice were significantly (pdb/db mice, while db/db-BKE mice had significantly (pdb/db-BKE mice had significantly (pppdb/db-BKE mice than in db/db mice.
