Abstract

The current study examined the effects of radish leaves powder on the excretion of fecal triglyceride, and sterol and hepatic UDP-glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT) activity in rats fed hypercholesterolemic diet. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 100$\pm$10 g were randomly assigned to normal control group (N group), normal diet with 5% radish leaves powder supplemented group (NR) and hypercholesterolemic groups, which were sub-divided into radish leaves powder free diet group (HC) and 2.5% (HRL), 5% (HRM), and 10% (HRH) radish leaves powder supplemented groups. The experimental diets were fed ad libitum for 4 weeks. Fecal weights and water contents were significantly increased in all radish leaves powder supplemented groups (NR, HRL, HRM, and HRH) than that of N and HC groups. Fecal total lipid contents including fecal neutral and acidic sterols in radish leaves powder supplemented groups were higher than those of the HC group, and especially that of HRH group was the highest among all experimental groups. Hepatic UDPGT activity of HRH group was 38% higher than that of HC group. Excretions of fecal bile acid were increased 2.3 and 2.7 folds in HRM and HRH groups compared with that of HC group. And neutral sterol, coprostanol, and coprostanone contents of them were higher in radish leaves supplemented groups than in HC group. These results suggest that radish leaves may act as potential substitute for a dietary fiber capable of improving a gastrointestinal function and lipid metabolism.

본 연구에서는 고콜레스테롤 흰쥐에 무청파우더를 공급함으로써 분변을 통한 지질배설과 장기능 개선에 미치는 효과와 그 작용기전을 규명하고자 간조직의 UDP-glucuronyl transferase 활성변화와 분변중의 지질 및 sterol류의 조성을 관찰하였다. 실험동물은 체중 100 g내외의 Sprague-Dawley 종 수컷 흰쥐를 이용하였으며, 정상군과 고콜레스테롤 식이 실험군으로 나눈 후 정상군은 다시 무청파우더를 공급하지 않은 군(N group), 무청파우더를 공급한 군(NR group)으로 나누고 고콜레스테롤 식이 실험군은 무청파우더를 공급하지 않은 군(HC group)과 무청파우더를 각각 2.5%(HRL group), 5%(HRM group), 10%(HRH group)씩 공급한 군으로 나누었다. 식이와 식수는 자유섭식 시켰으며, 4주 간 사육한 후 희생시켰다. 분변량은 무청공급군들에서 무청의 공급량이 증가할수록 많은 배변량을 보였다. 수분함량 역시 HC군에 비해 무청공급군들에서 많은 함량을 보였다. 분변중의 총지질, 총콜레스테롤 및 TG 함량은 HC군에 비해 무청공급 군들에서 현저하게 증가되었다. 분변중의 bile acid 함량은 HC군에 비해 HRM 및 HRH군에서 2.3배 및 2.7배씩 각각 증가되었다. 분변중의 중성 스테롤류인 cholesterol, coprostanol, coprostanone 함량은 HC군에 비해 다소 높은 경향이었다. 간 microsome의 UDPGT의 활성은 HC군에 비해 HRH군에서 38% 유의적으로 증가되어 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 무청은 고콜레스테롤 식이 흰쥐에서 간조직의 UDPGT 활성의 증가로 담즙산의 흡수를 지연시킴으로써 고콜레스테롤 섭취 시 분변중으로 총지질, 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 중성스테롤 및 산성스테롤인 담즙산의 배설을 증가시키는 작용을 나타내었고, 따라서 장 기능 및 지질대사 개선을 위한 우수 물질임을 알 수 있었다.
