Abstract

This study described the effect of levan (9-2,6-linked fructose polymer) feeding on serum lipids, adiposity and uncoupling protein (UCP) expression in growing rats. Levan was synthesized from sucrose using bacterial levansucrase. UCP is a mitochondrial protein that uncouples the respiratory chain from oxidative Phosphorylation and generates heat instead of ATP, thereby increase energy expenditure. We observed that 3% or 5% levan containing diet reduced serum triglyceride levels, visceral and peritoneal fat mass and induced the UCP expression in rats fed high fat diet in previous study. To determine whether the intake of low level of levan may have the hypolipidemic and anti-obesity effect, 4 wk old Sprague Dawley male rats were fed AIN-76A diet for 6 wk, and sub-sequently fed 1% or 2% levan solution for further 5 wk. Intake of 1% levan in liquid form reduced serum triglyceride and serum total cholesterol levels to 50% and 66% of control group, respectively. Although epididymal and peritoneal fat masses were not affected by levan feeding, visceral fat mass was lower in 1% levan group compared to control group. The expression of UCP2 mRNA in brown adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and hypothalamus and UCP3 mRNA in skeletal muscle were not changed by levan feeding, while the UCP2 mRNA in white adipose tissue was up-regulated by levan feeding. In conclusions, intake of low level of levan solution reduced serum triglyceride and total cholesterol, restrained the visceral fat accumulation and increased UCP expression in white adipose tissue in rats. This study suggests that hypolipidemic and anti-obesity effect of levan attributed to anti-lipogenesis and inefficeint energy utilization by up-regulation of UCPs.

본 연구는 프락토즈 중합체인 레반의 지질 감소 효과와 비만 유전자인 UCP를 통한 에너지 대사에 미치는 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 성장기 6주간 AIN-76A diet로 사육한 흰쥐에게 레반을 식이 섭취량의 1%, 2%로 5주간 경구투여하여, 혈중 지질 수준과 체지방 형성 및 혈중 인슬린, 렙틴 농도와 갈색 지방 조직, 백색지방 조직, 골격 근육, 시상하부에서 의 UCP mRNA 발현량 변화를 관찰하였다. 연구 결과를 종합해 보면 다음과 같다. 1) 레반군에서 혈청 중성지방과 총 콜레스테롤은 감소하고 HDL 콜레스테롤 수준은 영향을 미치지 않아 1%와 2% 레반 공급이 지질 대사를 개선시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다. 2) 1%와 2% 레반군에서 내장 지방 무게가 감소하여 적은 양의 레반 공급으로 체지방 축적이 억제될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 3) 갈색 지방 조직과 부고환 지방, 복막 지방 무게는 그룹간 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 4) 혈청 인슬린 농도는 1% 레반군에서, 혈청 렙틴 농도는 1% 레반군, 2% 레반군에서 대조군에 비해 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 통계적 유의성은 나타나지 않았다. 5) 1%와 2% 레반 공급에 의하여 갈색 지방 조직과 골격근육, 시상하부에서의 UCP mRNA발현량에는 변화가 없었다. 6) 백색 지방 조직의 UCP 2 mRNA 발현량이 레반 공급에 의해 증가하여 1%와 2%레반 공급에 의해 에너지 소비율이 증가할 수 있음이 나타났다 결론적으로 저농도의 1%와 1% 액상 레반 공급은 총 식이의 ,3%～5% 레반 공급과 비교하여 혈중 총 콜레스테롤과 중성 지방 감소 효과에는 차이가 있으나 UCP 발현 증가에 미치는 영향은 적은 것으로 보인다. 그러나 저농도의 1～2% 액상 레반 공급으로 지질 대사를 개선하고 체지방 축적을 어느 정도 억제하는 효과를 나타냄을 알 수 있으며 이에 관한 임상 연구로 레반의 고지혈증과 비만을 조절하는 기능성 식품 소재로서의 가능성 검색이 요망된다.
