Abstract

This study was carried out to examine the effects of vitamin E on chronic gastric ulcer induced by alcohol treatment in rats. Chronic gastric ulcer model was established by oral administration of 70% ethanol at one time and supply of 15% ethanol for additional 7 days. Male Sprague-Dawley rats, approximately 200 g, were fasted for 24 hours and orally gavaged with 1 mL of 70% ethanol for the induction of acute ulcer. A supply of 15% ethanol dissolved in distilled water for 7 days were followed to maintain chronic gastric ulcer. Acute ulcer group was sacrificed at 3 hours after oral administration of 1 mL of 70% ethanol. Chronic groups were divided into three groups according to vitamin E levels; low-vitamin E (LVE, 0 mg/mL oil/day), normalvitamin E (NVE, 1 mg/mL oil/day) and high-vitamin E (HVE, 10 mg/mL oil/day). These groups were fed vitamin E free diets which were made of vitamin E free vitamin mix followed AIN-93M pattern for 7 days. Histological findings of congestion, hemorrhage and necrosis in gastric tissue were shown severely in acute ulcer group and LVE group of chronic ulcer groups. The concentration of gastrin in serum was significantly higher in LVE group. The content of histamine in stomach was lower in acute ulcer group but there was no significant difference among the chronic groups regardless of vitamin E levels. Content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in gastric tissue was higher in HVE group and activities of antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase, were lower in HVE group. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities as a marker of neutrophils infiltration was significantly higher in LVE group. These results suggested that vitamin E supplementation has positive effects on healing of alcohol-induced chronic gastric ulcer through alleviation of gastric tissue injuries and reduction of the MPO activity in gastric tissue and gastrin in serum.

본 연구에서는 알코올을 이용하여 만성위궤양 실험동물 모델을 확립하고 설정된 동물모델을 대상으로 비타민 E 투여 수준(결핍 0 mg/mL oil/day, 정상 1 mg/mL oil/day, 보충 10 mg/mL oil/day)에 따른 위궤양 치유효과를 살펴보고자 수행되었다. 비타민 E를 투여시킨 기간은 총 7일로서 위의 조직학적 검사, 혈청의 gastrin 농도, 위 조직의 histamine 농도, 위 조직 내의 항산화 효소인 GPx 활성도와 catalase 농도 및 MPO 활성도를 측정하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 만성군에서 식이섭취량과 15% 에탄올 식수섭취량에는 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 체중증가량은 비타민 E 결핍군에서 유의적으로 낮았다. 급성군에 비해 만성군에서 위 무게가 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 또한 급성군에서 다량의 출혈과 선상의 괴사가 나타났으며 비타민 E 결핍군 또한 약간의 출혈과 선상의 궤양이 남아있었으나 비타민 E 정상군과 보충군의 경우 출혈이나 궤양은 관찰되지 않았다. 혈청 gastrin의 경우 비타민 E 결핍군에서 유의적으로 높았으며 비타민 E 투여수준에 따라 유의적으로 낮아졌다. 또한 위 조직에서 histamine 농도는 급성군보다 만성군에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났지만 만성군에서 비타민 E의 투여수준에 따른 histamine 농도의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 위 조직에서의 MDA 농도는 비타민 E 결핍군과 정상군에 비해 보충군에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며 급성과 만성유도에 따른 MDA 농도 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 대표적인 항산화 효소인 GPx와 catalase의 경우 비타민 E 정상군과 보충군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 위 조직에서의 MPO 활성도는 비타민 E 결핍군에 비해 정상군과 보충군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 결론적으로 알코올로 유도한 만성위궤양 실험동물 모델에서 비타민 E의 보충은 위궤양 치유효과가 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 비타민 E 보충은 혈청 gastrin 농도를 감소시켜 위에서의 산 분비를 감소시키며 또한 위 조직 내의 MPO 활성도를 감소시켜 proinflammatory cytokine을 방출을 억제시키고 결과적으로 위 세포내로의 호중구 침투를 감소시켜 위궤양 치유과정을 촉진시키는 것으로 보인다. 따라서 비타민 E의 결핍상태보다 비타민 E를 보충하였을 때 빠른 위궤양 치유효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며, 평소 권장량을 충족시킬 수 있는 비타민 E의 충분한 식이섭취가 중요하다고 생각한다.
