Abstract

Effect of Korean red ginseng (KRG) on the level of serum and liver lipids and lipid peroxidation was investigated in the rats fed high fat diet. Content of serum total cholesterol was significantly decreased (P<0.05) in KRG I group and KRG II group. Content of HDL-cholesterol was significantly increased by 69.75% and 39.15% in KRG I and KRG II group compared to control group, respectively. Atherogenic index (hi) was also significantly decreased by 74.76% and 37.38% in KRG I and KRG II groups compared to control group, respectively. Serum triglyceride content was significantly decreased (p<0.05) in only KRG II group. Antioxidative activity of KRG on the lipid peroxidation of serum and tissues in rats was also studied in vivo by measuring the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Contents of TBARS in the serum of both KRG groups were significantly decreased (p<0.05) and that of nonheme iron in serum was significantly increased (p<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner, which suggested that lipid peroxidation contents are inversely correlated with serum nonheme iron content. Content of TBARS in liver was significantly decreased (p<0.05) in KRG I and KRG II groups, without any influence in other tissues. Content of TBIARS in liver microsomal fractions stimulated by Fe$^{2+}$/ascorbate was significantly decreased (p<0.05) in KRG I and KRG II groups, whereas this observation did not occur in liver mitochondrial fractions. When the effect of KRG on TBARS content in the liver fractions of homogenates, microsomes, and mitochodria stimulated by Fe$^{2+}$/ascorbate was tested in vitro experimental model, TBARS of liver three fractions was significantly decreased at 6 mg/mL KRG compared with those of control. These results suggested that KRG powder have hypocholesterolemic effect as well as antioxidative effect in the serum and liver of the rats fed high fat diet.

생리활성 물질을 함유하고 있는 홍삼분말의 섭취수준에 따른 고지방식 급여 흰쥐의 지질 농도 및 과산화지질 농도에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 200 mg/rat및 400 mg/rat 수준으로 홍삼분말을 첨가하여 3주간 자유 섭취시켰다. 혈청 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 대조군에 비해 KRG I군과 KRG II군에서 유의적으로 감소(p<0.05)경향을 나타내었다. 혈청 HDL-cholesterol 농도는 대조군에 비해 KRG I군 및 KRG II군에서 각각 69.75% 및 39.l5% 증가하였고, 동시에 동맥경화 지수는 각각 74.76% 및 37.3n% 감소하였다 혈청 중성지질 농도는 대조군에 비해 KRG II군에서만 유의적으로 감소(p<0.05)하였다. 혈청 지질의 과산화물 생성지표인 TBARS는 대조군에 비해 KRG I군과 KGB II군에서 유의적으로 감소(p<0.05)하였다. 과산화지질 촉매물질로 작용하는 혈중 비헴철 함량을 측정한 결과, 대조군에 비해 홍삼분말 첨가군에서 유의성 있게 감소하여 혈청 과산화지질 농도와 상관관계를 나타내었다. 간장에서의 MDA 함량은 대조군에 비해 KRG I군 및 KRG II군에서 유의적으로 감소(p<0.05)하였다. 간장으로부터 분획한 microsome의 세포막 과산화지질 농도는 대조구에 비해KRG I군 및 KRG II군에서 유의적으로 감소(p<0.05)하고, nitochondria 분획에서는 효과가 없었다. 홍삼분말을 0, 2, 4, 및 6 mg/mL농도로 간장 세포 분획의 반응액에 첨가하여 MDA 함량을 측정하였을 때, homogenate 및 microsome 분획에서는 6 mg/mL 농도에서만 유의적으로 감소(p<0.05)하고, mitochondria 획분에서는 2, 4 및 6 mg/mL 첨가구에서 모두 유의적으로 감소(p<0.05)하였다. 이상의 실험에서 고지방 식이를 급여한 흰쥐에서 홍삼분말 첨가는 혈중의 콜레스테롤 농도와 과산화지질 농도를 낮추는 효과를 나타내었다.
