Abstract

Stress activates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and subsequently increases the systemic levels of glucocorticoids. It also inhibits the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from hypothalamus. Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng CA Meyer) has been proven as an anti-stress agent. However, most of the anti-stress effects of ginseng on stresses such as immobilization, electronic foot shock, and cold swim, which subsequently cause oxidative damage in brain, were obtained by using ginseng extract or ginseng total saponin. Moreover, anti-stress and anti-oxidative effects of ginseng were demonstrated by determination of enzyme or hormone levels but not mRNA as well as transcriptome. Further studies on transcriptome, proteomics, and systems biology as well as signal transduction would be required to elucidate molecular action mechanisms of ginseng on stresses.

스트레스 반응은 위급 상황에서만 활성화 되는 것이 아니라 우리 주변을 둘러싼 모든 사회적, 물리적 환경에 의해 끊임없이 기인된다. 예를 들어 소음, 강한 빛과 열, 주거의 공간 등과 같은 물리적 환경과 타인과의 관계, 부당한 대우, 규칙, 형식과 같은 사회적 관계 이 그것이다. 고려 인삼은 항스트레스 작용을 한다고 알려져 있으나 현재까지 대부분의 연구는 인삼 엑기스 또는 총 사포닌을 투여 시 나타나는 물리화학적인 척도 (수영 시간, 뜨거움에 대한 반응, 포도당 및호르몬 수준 등)를 측정하였으며 뇌에서 ginsenoside의 기능연구는 매우 미흡한 수준이다. 특히 신호전달, 전사체 (transcriptome),proteomics, system biology와 같은 분자생물학적인 방법을 이용한 기전 연구는 전혀 수행된 바 없다. 따라서 인삼의 항 스트레스 반응 기전을 이해하기 위해서는 인삼투여 후 뇌에서 나타나는 분자적 변화에 대한 연구가 앞으로 요구된다. 또한 microarray 등의 분자생물학적 기법을 이용하여 인삼 투여에 의해 반응하는 유전자를 발굴함으로써 이러한 인자들이 인삼 효능 시험 등에 지표로 응용될 수 있을것이다.
