Abstract

This study investigated the effect of tea fungus/kombucha(TF) beverage on body weights, pancreas weights, serum glucose and lipid concentrations of both normal and diabetic male rats. Sprague Dawley male rats weighing $140{\pm}10g$ were randomly assigned to one control and five streptozotocin(STZ) diabetic groups. Diabetic groups were divided into D control(TF free water), 20% TFD(20% TF in water), 40% TFD(40% TF in water), 20% TFSD(20% TF disinfection in water) and 40% TFSD(40% TF disinfection in water) according to the level of TF supplementation. Diabetes was experimentally induced by intraperitoneally administration of STZ in citrate buffer(pH4.3) after 3 week feeding of four experimental water. Animals were sacrificed at the 4 week of diabetic state. The diabetic groups showed significant decrease of body weight(-29.4~48.6g) compared with the control group(72.4g). Pancreatic weights relative to body weights in all diabetic groups were heavier than those of the control group. The levels of fasting serum glucose were higher in all diabetic groups than that of the control group. The concentrations of triglyceride in serum was lower in 20% TFD and 20% TFSD groups than in those D control group. The levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol in serum and atherogenic index were significantly decreased in all(20 or 40%) TFD and TFSD groups than in those D control group, but those were similar to control group. The levels of HDL cholesterol in serum was similar to all groups, but HDL cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio were significantly increased in all(20 or 40%) TFD and TFSD groups than in those D control group. Liver triglyceride concentration of the all diabetic groups significantly decreased compared with the control group. Liver total cholesterol and phospholipid were not affected by TF and TFS feeding. The results indicated that tea fungus/kombucha beverage feeding improved the cholesterol, triglyceride and atherogenic index levels in diabetic rats.

발효홍차가 당뇨쥐의 혈당과 지질농도에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자, 평균체중 $140{\pm}10g$ 전후되는 Sprague-Dawley계 숫쥐에 음료수를 급여한 대조군, 당뇨대조군, 발효홍차군은 음료수에 발효홍차를 20%와 40%씩 혼합한 군과 감압멸균한 발효홍차를 20%와 40%씩 혼합급여한 군 등 6군으로 나누어 각 실험음료로 3주간 사육한 다음, streptozotocin으로 당뇨를 유발시키고 계속 4주간 각 실험음료로 사육하였다. 체중의 변화는 당뇨 유발전 3주간 체중증가는 대조군과 각 농도별 발효홍차 급여군이 비슷하였슴은 발효흥차가 성장률에는 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 당뇨유발후 4주간의 체중변화는 대조군은 72.4g 증가하였으나, 당뇨대조군과 각 농도별 당뇨발효홍차군은 당뇨로 인한 대사장애로 29.4~48.6g의 체중이 감소되었다. 췌장 총 무게는 당뇨대조군에 비하여 당뇨 20% 발효홍차군, 당뇨 40% 발효홍차군 및 당뇨 20% 감압멸균한 발효홍차군은 유의 하게 증가(p<0.05)되었다. 체중 100g당 췌장 무게는 대조군에 비하여 당뇨대조군과 각 농도별 당뇨 발효홍차군이 유의하게 증가(p<0.05)되었다 혈당량은 당뇨대조군과 당뇨발효홍차군이 비슷한 경향으로 혈당량을 낮추지는 못하였다 혈청의 중성지질농도는 당뇨대조군에 비하여 당뇨 20% 발효홍차군과 당뇨 20% 감압멸균 발효흥차군이 감소(p<0.05)되었으며, 총 콜 레스테롤 농도는 각 당뇨발효홍차군이 당뇨대조군보다 유의하게 감소(p<0.05)하여 대조군과 비슷한 수준으로 발효홍차가 당뇨쥐의 혈청 총콜레스테롤치를 정상수준으로 낮추는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. HDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 각군이 차이를 보이지 않았으나, HDL-콜레스테롤 농도/총 콜레스테롤 농도의 비율은 당뇨대조군에 비하여 각 당뇨발효홍차군이 유의하게 증가(p<0.05)되었다 LDL-콜레스테롤 농도 및 동액경화지수는 당뇨대조군에 비하여 각 당뇨발효홍차군은 유의 하게 낮은(p<0.05) 수준을 보였다 간의 총 지질농도는 대조군에 비하여 당뇨 20%와 40% 발효홍차군이 감소(p<0.05)하였으나, 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 대조군과 각 실험군이 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 중성지질농도는 대조군에 비하여 당뇨대조군과 각 당뇨발효흥차군이 유의하게 감소(p<0.05)되었다 이상의 결과로 보아 당뇨쥐에 발효홍차를 급여한 바 당뇨병 합병증의 원인이 되는 혈청의 중성지질, 총콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 농도 및 동맥경화지수를 낮추는 효과가 있으므로 발효홍차가 당뇨쥐의 지절대사를 부분적으로 개선시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
