Abstract

Korean traditional deer decoction (Nogjungtang), composed of oriental herbs and almost deer parts, has been used as an important resource for human health. For basic studying on Nogjungtang, this experiment was conducted to evaluate nutritional effects of Nogjungtang, and estimate its effect on growth, food efficiency, organ development and hematological indices in growing and adult Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were divided into three groups as follows; control: non-supplementation, Notiungtang I: recommended dose, and Nogjungtang II: thrice recommended dose. Nogjungtang was composed of various general nutrients with up 93$\%$ moisture.Crude protein is the highest value as 22.78$ \%$, Mg is a major mineral as 0.48$\%$ compared to other minerals, and methionine and proline are higher by 1.31 and 1.67$\%$ than other amino acids based on dry matter, re-spectively. In both growing and adult rats, there were no significant difference in body weight gain and feed intake between the control and Nogjungtang groups. Also, organs weights (liver, heart, kidney and stomach) and hematological indices (WBC, RBC, Hb, Hct and Platelet) did not show statistically significant differences among the experimental groups. However, all of experimental rats were normal growth without hypertrophy or negative development of organs by Nogjungtang. Hematological indices maintained in normal value by thrice recommended dose of Nogjungtang. The average body weight of each treatment groups showed similar levels at end of experiment. In case of the feed efficiency ratio (feed intake/body gain), the growing rats showed 6.00, 5.81 and 5.99 and adult rats showed 9.03, 8.98 and 9.10 in control, Nogjungtang I and Nogjungtang II, respectively. In conclusion, although further investigation of Nogjungtang should be performed in the functions registered in many ancient literatures, Nogjungtang is physiologically safe and may have potential as candidate food for human health.

전통적으로 사용되어온 녹중탕에 대한 기초적 연구로서 본 실험은 녹중탕의 영양학적 성분을 분석하고 이를 투여했을 때 흰쥐의 발육에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. Sprague-Dawley종 5주령의 어린 쥐와 10주령의 성숙 쥐를 각각 처리군별 12마리씩 배치하였고, 녹중탕을 급여하지 않는 대조군, 권장량을 급여하는 녹중탕 I군 그리고 권장량의 3배를 급여하는 녹중탕 ll군로 구분하여 10주간 사육하였으며, 실험쥐의 체중, 식이섭취량, 식이효율, 장기발육 및 혈액형상에 대하여 조사하였다. 녹중탕은 일반 영양성분을 비롯한 다양한 광물질과 필수 및 비필수아미노산을 함유하였고, 수분이 97$\%$이상이었고, 건물 기준으로 조단백질이 22.78$\%$로 가장 많았으며 광물질 중 Mg가 0.48$\%$ 그리고 아미노산중 methionine와 proline이 각각 1.31$\%$ 그리고 1.67$\%$로 비교적 높았다. 어린쥐 와 성숙 쥐 모두에서 녹중탕 I과 II 그리고 대조군 간에 실험쥐의 시험 종료시 평균체중과 식이섭취량의 통계적 유의차는 발견되지 않았다. 그리고 간, 심장, 신장 및 위장 등의 장기 무게와 백혈구, 적혈구, 혈색소, 헤마토크릿 및 혈소판 등의 혈액학적 지수에 있어서도 통계적 유의차가 발견되지 않았다. 즉, 녹중탕 식이로 이상적으로 장기가 비대해지거나 억제됨 없이 정상적 발육이 이루어졌으며, 녹중탕 권장량의 3배로 과량 식이하였을 때도 이상 현상 없이 정상적 혈액학적 지수를 나타냈다. 그리고 대조구, 녹중탕 I 그리고 녹중탕 II의 식이 이용효율에 있어서 어린 쥐는 각각 6.00, 5.81, 5.99 그리고 성숙 쥐는 9.03, 8.98, 9.10을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 녹중탕이 생리대사에 무해하고 안전하며, 우리나라 고서에서 언급하는 한방학적 효능에 대한 세부적 및 과학적 규명과 함께 전통적 건강 증진 식품으로 개발 필요성 및 가능성을 시사한다.
