Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of soy protein hydrolyzate on lipid metabolism and antioxidant activity in the rat. Thirty-eight male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain were divided into five groups: casein, isolated soy protein (ISP), seoritae protein hydrolyzate (SH), soluble soy protein hydrolyzate (SS), and insoluble soy protein hydrolyzate (IS). The control diet (casein group) contained 20% casein protein and experimental diet contained 10% casein and 10% isolated soy-protein or soy-protein hydrolyzate. Fecal lipid content was increased and lipid apparent absorption rate was decreased significantly by the ISP group at the first week of experimental period. Blood triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and atherogenic index (AI) were decreased by soy protein hydrolyzate groups than casein group. Liver total lipid, triglyceride and cholesterol were not different among groups, but showed decreasing tendencies in soyprotein hydrolyzate groups. The lipid lowering effect was prominent in the IS group among soy protein hydrolyzate groups. Total antioxidant activity showed increasing tendency in the seoritae hydrolyzate group. Liver superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase activities also showed higher tendencies in the seoritae hydrolyzate group than other groups. In conclusion, insoluble soyprotein hydrolyzate was more effective in lowering body lipids and seoritae hydrolyzate had higher antioxidant capacity among soy protein hydrolyzates.

본 연구는 대두단백가수분해물의 섭취가 소화흡수율, 지질대사 및 항산화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 흰쥐를 카제인, 분리대두단백 (ISP) 또는 대두단백가수분해물 (서리태단백분해물 (SH), 수용성단백분해물 (SS) 또는 불용성단백분해물 (IS)군으로 나누어 4주간 사육한 후 생리활성의 변화를 살펴보았으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 지질소화흡수율은 실험 1주차에서 분리대두단백군 (ISP군)이 다른 군보다 유의적으로 낮았다. 불용성가수분해물군 (IS군)은 실험 4주차에서 다른 군들보다 콜레스테롤의 소화흡수율이 낮은 경향이었다. 2) 혈액 중성지방은 불용성가수분해물군 (IS군)이 카제인군보다 유의적으로 낮았고, 서리태가수분해물과 ISP군도 낮은 경향이었다. 총 콜레스테롤도 중성지방과 마찬가지로 불용성가수분해물군이 가장 낮았고 다른 대두가수분해물군들과ISP군도 카제인군보다 낮은 경향이었다. 대두가수분해물군들이 카제인군보다 HDL-cholesterol은 높이고, LDL-cholsterol은 낮추어서 동맥경화지수는 불용성, 수용성, 서리태가수분해물의 순으로 낮았다. 3) 총항산화력은 군 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 서리태가수분해물군 (SH군)이 다른 군들에 비해 높은 경향이었다. 간의 항산화효소활성은 각 군 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 서리태가수분해물군의 superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase 및 catalase 활성이 카제인군과 다른 실험군들에 비해 높은 경향이었다. 결론적으로, 대두단백가수분해물군들은 카제인군보다 혈액 중성지질, 총콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol과 동백경화 지표 (AI)를 낮추어서 심혈관질환예방에 바람직한 것으로 나타났는데, 이러한 효과는 특히 불용성단백가수분해물군에서 뛰어났다. 한편, 항산화활성의 경우 총항산화력과 항산화효소활성이 서리태가수분해물군에서 높은 경향으로 나타나 앞으로 서리태의 항산화 효과의 원인물질을 규명하고 분리추출하는 등의 연구를 통해 우리나라의 전통 콩의 우수한 면모를 밝히는 연구가 더 필요하다고 사료된다.
