PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medicinal effect evaluation method of a crude drug and a medicinal effect evaluation method between lots of crude drug which are more inexpensive, simple, has satisfactory repeatability than conventional methods, and to provide a preparation method of an evaluation sample for evaluating the medicinal effect.SOLUTION: A medicinal effect evaluation method between lots of a crude drug having a hypoglycemic action includes: (a) a process of obtaining an extracted fraction for performing medicinal effect evaluation of the crude drug by a method including a process of, after extracting the crude drug by hot water, precipitating obtained hot water extracted fraction by ethanol; (b) a process of making a silkworm to ingest sugar (A) to increase the concentration of sugar (B) in a fat body or in biological fluid of the silkworm; (c) a process of administering the extracted fraction of the crude drug, which was obtained in the process (a), to the silkworm whose concentration of sugar (B) in a fat body or in biological fluid increased, which was obtained in the process (b); and (d) a process of measuring the concentration of sugar (B) in a fat body or in biological fluid of the silkworm to which the extracted fraction of the crude drug was administered. |
