Abstract

Effect of mixture of food material water extracts(modouri) composed of Job's tears, maize, buckwheat Japanese mushroom, lovage, licorice and jujube(13 : 50 : 15 : 2 : 5 : 5 : 5, v/v)] on the content of testosterone(T) and dihydrotestosterone(DHT), biochemical and histological changes of rat were investigated. Animal experiments(30 rats) were divided into 3 experimental groups(control, modouri and propecia). The summarized results were as follows: Activities of GOT, GPT, ALP, ${\gamma}$-GTP and content of total cholesterol and total lipid are normal in modouri group. Therefore modouri does not give rise to any damage in the liver. Also in the histological view, modouri does not have any hepatotoxic effect and increase the number of hair folicle. Total(T+DHT) and DHT content in rat serum and skin are significantly decrease in modouri group compare to the control but there is not any significant difference with propecia.

율무, 옥수수, 메밀, 표고버섯, 당귀, 감초 및 대추의 물추출 혼합물(13 : 50 : 15 : 2 : 5 : 5 : 5, v/v) 이 쥐 혈청과 피부의 testosterone(T) 및 dihydrotestosterone(DHT) 함량과 간독성 및 생화학적 및 조직학적 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 1일 9 mL/kg-BW 씩 음용수에 섞어 SD(Sprague-Dawley)계의 흰쥐에 5주 동안 투여하였으며, 5-a -reductase의 저해제로 알려진 propecia와 비교하였다. GOT, GPT, ALP 및 ${\gamma}$-GTP의 활성도와 total cholesterol 및 total lipid 함량은 무처리, propecia 및 식품소재추출물 투여군 간의 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않아 간 손상이 유발되지 않았다. 간의 조직학적 소견에서도 식품소재 추출물의 독 작용은 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 또, 식품소재추출물의 투여로 모낭수가 대조군에 비해 많았다. 혈청 및 피부의 T+DHT 함량은 식품소재추출물 투여군이 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하여 5-a-reductase의 활성이 저해되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 식품소재추출물과 propecia와의 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다.
