Abstract

Possibility of Lactobacillus strains able to metabolize ethanol and acetaldehyde in vitro and in vitro was studied. Lactobacillus brevis strains showed higher alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activities than those of other lactic acid bacteria strains. L. brevis HY7401 exhibited the highest ADH and ALDH activities and decreased considerable amounts of ethanol and acetaldehyde in vitro. L. brevis HY7401 cell intake significantly decreased serum ethanol levels in rats fed ethanol (4g/kg BW) compared to control groups. Ethanol level in small intestines of rats fed L. brevis HY7401 was about 50%, and their acetic acid concentration was twofold higher than control. Results reveal L. brevis HY7401, isolated from human, metabolizes ethanol and acetaldehyde in vitro and in vivo.

Lactobacillus 균주들의 에탄올과 acetaldehyde의 대사 가능성을 시험관내 및 생체내에서 시험하였다. ADH와 ALDH 활성은 L. brevis 균주들이 다른 Lactobacillus 균주들과 비교하여 높게 나타났으며, 특히 L. brevis HY7401은 가장 높은 ADH와 ALDH 활성을 나타냈다. L. brevis HY7401$(10^9\;cfu/mL)$을 2주간 하루에 1 mL씩 쥐에게 급여한 후 시험 14일째에 에탄올(4g/kg BW)을 경구투여하고 혈중 에탄올 양을 측정한 결과, L. brevis HY7401 급여에 의해 혈중 에탄올 수준이 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 에탄올 투여 6시간후의 혈중 에탄올 양이 각각 $1,195{\pm}92.9$(대조군) 그리고 $454{\pm}150mg/L$(HY7401군)으로 나타났다. 또한 L. brevis HY7401 급여한 군에서 소장내 에탄올 농도가 대조구와 비교하여 약 1/2수준이었으며, 초산 농도는 2배정도 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 이 연구결과들은 사람으로부터 분리된 L. brevis HY7401이 높은 ADH와 ALDH 활성을 갖고 있어 에탄올과 acetaldehyde를 대사한다는 것을 의미하고 있다. 또한 L. brevis HY7401을 쥐에게 급여함으로써 혈중 에탄올 수준을 낮출 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.
