Abstract

The effects of cheonggukjang(traditional fermented soybean food, CK) and cheonggukjang added Agaricus blazei (CKA) on lipid metabolism were investigated in female Sprague-Dawley rats (20 weeks old). The rats were fed a purified hyperlipidemic diet (control diet: 0.1% cholesterol, 10% fat, 18% casein) for 4 weeks. The rats were randomly assigned to each treatment group: control, two kinds of CK or CKA (powders of CK or CKA as dietary protein sources). After 8 weeks of experimental diets consumption, the body weights, and the uterine fat pad weights of CK and CKA diets groups were more significantly decreased than those of the control diet group. The liver cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly lower in both the CK and CKA diets groups than those in the control group. The concentrations in serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and atherogenic index ratios were significantly decreased in the CK and CKA diets group s compared with those in the control group. The HDL-cholesterol/total-cholesterol ratios were significantly increased in the CK and CKA diets groups compared with those in the control group. The fecal cholesterol and triglyceride excretion in the CK and CKA diets groups were more increased than those in the control group. These results showed that both the feeding the rats with cheonggukjang and cheonggukjang added Agaricus blazei decreased the triglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in serum as well as the triglyceride and cholesterol in liver, and increased the HDL-cholesterol/total-cholesterol ratio in serum.

청국장 분말이 고지방식이를 섭취한 흰쥐의 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자, 성숙한 암쥐에 4주간 고지방식이(0.1% 콜레스테롤, 10% 지방)로 고지혈증을 유도한 후 대조군 (고지방식이), 청국장군 (고지방식이에 단백질원으로 청국장 분말을 첨가한 식이) 및 신령버섯 청국장군 (고지방식이에 단백질원으로 신령버섯 청국장 분말을 첨가한 식이) 등 3군으로 나누어 8주간 사육한 결과는 다음과 같다. 실험동물의 체중변화는 대조군은 16.1 g증가에 비하여 청국장군 및 신령버섯 청국장군은 각 1.0 g 및 5.9 g 증가로 유의하게 감소되었고, 식이섭취량 및 식이효율도 대조군에 비하여 청국장군들이 감소되었다. 자궁주위 지방의 무게 및 간조직의 콜레스테롤과 중성지질 농도는 대조군에 비하여 청국장군 및 신령버섯 청국장군이 유의하게 감소되었다. 혈청의 중성지질. 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 농도 및 동맥경화지수는 대조군에 비해 청국장군 및 신려버섯 청국장군이 유의하게 감소되었고, 총 콜레스테롤에 대한 HDL-콜레스테롤의 비율은 대조군에 비해 청국장군들이 유의하게 증가되었다. 변의 무게, 수분함량 및 총 지질 배설량은 청국장군들이 대조군 보다 유의하게 증가된 것으로 나타났다. 혈청 단백질 및 혈당 농도는 청국장 및 신령버섯 청국장 섭취에 의한 영향은 나타나지 않았으나, 혈색소 농도는 청국장군들이 증가되는 것으로 나타타났다. 이상의 결과로 보아 고지방식이에 청국장 및 신령버섯 청국장 분말 첨가 섭취시 흰쥐의 체중 감소와 혈청과 간조직의 중성지질, 총 콜레스테롤과 LDL-콜레스테롤 농도 및 동맥경화지수를 낮추고, 총 콜레스테롤에 대한 HDL-콜레스테롤의 비율이 증가되어 지질대사의 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
