Abstract

Hypocholesterolemic effects in rats of two hull-less barleys, waxy and nonwaxy-starch genotype, were evaluated by analyzing liver cholesterol and triglycerides. A group fed cellulose control and fiber-free exhibited significant liver lipid accumulation by morphologically observation. In barley fed group, however, lipid disposition in liver was effectively suppressed. The concentrations of cholesterol and triglyceride in liver were significantly reduced in rat fed 5 and 10% fiber diets containing barley flour and ${\beta}-glucan-enriched$ fraction. ${\beta}-Glucan-enriched$ barley fraction as a fiber source showed more cholesterol-lowering than barley flour with cellulose, and this effect of ${\beta}-glucan$ from two hull-less barleys was similar. Liver cholesterol and triglyceride in cellulose control group were 14.5 mg/g and 46.1 mg/g, respectively, while those of barley and ${\beta}-glucan$ fed groups were $5.1{\sim}8.2\;mg/g$ and $20.1{\sim}31.3\;mg/g$, respectively.

총 식이섬유 함량과 에너지 수준을 동일하게 조정한 보리첨가식이 및 ${\beta}-glucan$ 함량을 높인 농축획분 첨가식이가 간에서의 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 시험하였다. 체중을 고려한 간무게 결과는 콜레스테롤 투여로 증가되는 것으로 나타났으며 보리 및 ${\beta}-glucan$ 투여에 의한 차이는 없었다. Control군과 fiber-free군의 간에서는 normal(cholesterol-free)군의 간과는 달리 콜레스테롤 첨가로 인하여 심한 지질 침착이 관찰되었다. 반면 보리첨가군의 경우 동량의 콜레스테롤을 섭취하였으나 지질 침착이 거의 없거나 미약하여 normal 간과 유사한 형태였다. 간의 단위무게당 콜레스테롤과 중성지방 농도는 보리 ${\beta}-glucan$ 농축획분을 첨가한 N glucan(5%)와 W glucan(5%)군에서 각각 대조군의 50%와 60%이하 수준으로 현저하게 감소하였다. 식이섬유 함량이 10%가 되도록 찰보리 농축획분의 양을 증가시킨 W glucan(10%)군의 간 콜레스테롤 저하효과는 더욱 현저하였다. 따라서 0.5%의 콜레스테롤을 첨가하고 5%와 10%의 식이섬유를 보리로부터 공급했을 때 변으로 배설된 콜레스테롤과 중성지방을 보상하기 위한 간에서의 생합성 증가는 일어나지 않고 오히려 간의 콜레스테롤과 중성지방 함량이 현저히 낮아지고 간에 지질 침착이 일어나지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
