崔明淑是庆北国立大学食品营养学系教授、韩国功能食品与营养代谢领域的权威学者(h指数78,被引逾2万次)。韩国民间素有以杜仲叶治糖尿病的传统,她以严谨的糖尿病动物模型(STZ大鼠、db/db小鼠)证实了杜仲叶水提物的降糖与降脂作用,把民间经验转化为国际证据。
其团队2005、2006年的两篇杜仲论文分别发表于糖尿病学与民族药理学主流期刊,被全球杜仲综述反复引用,是韩国杜仲现代药理研究的奠基性工作,也为杜仲作为功能性食品原料进入韩国市场提供了科学支撑。
Korea's leading Eucommia researcher, who demonstrated the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of Eucommia leaves in international journals.
Choi Myung-Sook is professor in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at Kyungpook National University and an authority in Korean functional foods and nutritional metabolism (h-index 78, over 20,000 citations). Korean folk medicine has a long tradition of treating diabetes with Eucommia leaves; using rigorous diabetic animal models (STZ rats, db/db mice), she confirmed the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of aqueous Eucommia-leaf extract, converting folk experience into international evidence.
Her team's two Eucommia papers of 2005 and 2006 appeared in mainstream diabetology and ethnopharmacology journals respectively; repeatedly cited in Eucommia reviews worldwide, they are foundational work for modern Korean Eucommia pharmacology and provided scientific support for Eucommia's entry into the Korean market as a functional-food ingredient.
