Abstract

Effects of green tea, buckwheat, and grape leaf extracts on factors related to blood circulation were studied using rats fed high-cholesterol diet for 4 weeks. Rats were randomly divided into five groups, and plant extracts were orally administered. Green tea extract increased bleeding time in rat tails, suggesting it could prevent platelet aggregation. Administration of green tea, buckwheat, and grape leaf extracts decreased total cholesterol level in liver. Grape leaf extracts decreased thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in plasma, whereas buckwheat and grape leaf extracts decreased the substances in liver. These results showed extracts of green tea, buckwheat, and grape leaf were effective for improving lipid composition in blood and liver and inhibiting lipid peroxidation in animal tissue, suggesting they may have potential to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

본 연구에서는 Sprague Dawley 종 수컷 흰쥐에게 콜레스테롤이 1% 함유된 사료를 급여하여 고지혈증을 유발시키면서 녹차추출물, 메밀추출물, 포도잎추출물 추출물을 500 mg/kg B.W.의 농도로 4주간 매일 같은 시각에 경구투여하여 흰쥐의 혈액과 간장 내의 지질조성과 혈액응고기전 및 체내 지질과산화에 미치는 영향을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 전군에서 식이섭취량과 체중증가량 및 식이효율은 유의한 차이가 없어서 실험식이가 정상적인 성장에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 녹차추출물투여군은 고콜레스테롤 급여 대조군에 비해서 흰쥐의 꼬리에서의 출혈시간을 증가시켜서 항혈전효과가 있었다. 고콜레스테롤 급여로 인해 흰쥐에게 고지혈증이 유발되었으며 실험 시료를 경구투여하는데 따른 혈액중의 지질대사 개선효과는 없었다. 고콜레스테롤 급여로 흰쥐의 간장은 비대해지고 간장내 중성지방과 총콜레스테롤 함량도 현저히 증가하였으며 녹차추출물, 메밀추출물, 포도잎추출물은 간장 내 총콜레스테롤 함량을 감소시켜 간장 내 지질대사의 개선효과가 있었다. 고콜레스테롤의 급여는 혈장 내의 지질과산화물의 함량을 증가시키며 포도잎추출물은 체내 지질과산화를 억제시키는 효과가 있었으며 간에서는 메밀과 포도잎추출물이 지질과산화를 억제하였다.
