Abstract

The present study investigated the effect of Leuconostoc kimchii GJ2 (Leu. kimchii GJ2), an exopolysaccharide-producing lactic acid bacterium isolated from kimchi, on serum and liver lipid metabolism in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: a normal diet group (ND), a high-cholesterol diet group (HCD), a high-cholesterol diet and 200 mg/kg Leu. kimchii GJ2-administered group (HCD-LKL), and a high-cholesterol diet and 400 mg/kg Leu. kimchii GJ2-administered group (HCD-LKH). No between-group differences were found in body weight gain, food intake, or food efficiency ratio. The serum GOT and ALP activities that were elevated by the high-cholesterol diet were significantly decreased after Leu. kimchii GJ2 administration. Serum HDL-cholesterol level was markedly increased in the Leu. kimchii GJ2-administered groups, whereas the serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels were lower in the Leu. kimchii GJ2-administered animals. Liver levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride were also markedly lower in the Leu. kimchii GJ2-administered groups. In addition, increased activities of HR-LPL and TE-LPL in adipose tissue, caused by the high-cholesterol diet, fell to normal after administration of Leu. kimchii GJ2, in a dose-dependant manner. These results suggest that Leu. kimchii GJ2 isolated from kimchi exerts an antiatherosclerotic effect by reducing serum and liver cholesterol levels.

EPS 생성 유산균인 Leu. kimchii GJ2의 생리활성 효능을 구명하기 위하여 고콜레스테롤식이를 급여한 흰쥐에게 Leu. kimchii GJ2 투여로 고지혈증 개선효과를 조사하였다. 체중증가율, 식이섭취량 및 식이효율은 실험군 간의 차이가 없었으나, 체중당 간의 무게는 고콜레스테롤식이군 (HCD)이 다른 실험군들에 비하여 유의하게 증가되었다. 고콜레스테롤식이 급여로 증가된 혈청 중 GOT 및 ALP 활성은 Leu. kimchii GJ2 투여 병합투여로 활성이 감소되었으며, Leu. kimchii GJ2 투여 용량이 증가할수록 농도 의존적으로 감소하였다. 혈청 중 중성지방과 인지질 함량은 실험군 간에 유의차가 없었으나, 총콜레스테롤 함량은 고콜레스테롤식이군(HCD군, HCD-LKL군 및 HCD-LKH군)들 간에 유의차를 보여 Leu. kimchii GJ2 투여 용량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 고콜레스테롤식이와 Leu. kimchii GJ2 병합투여한 HCD-LKL군과 HCD-LKH군은 HCD군에 비하여 HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 증가하였으나, LDL-콜레스테롤 함량, 심혈관위험지수 및 동맥경화지수는 유의하게 저하되었다. Leu. kimchii GJ2 투여 용량이 증가할수록 HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 농도 의존적으로 증가하였고, LDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 저하되었다. 간조직 중 총콜레스테롤 및 중성 지방 함량은 HCD군이 ND군에 비하여 유의하게 증가되었으며, 고콜레스테롤식이와 Leu. kimchii GJ2 병합투여한 HCD-LKL군과 HCD-LKH군은 HCD군에 비하여 Leu. kimchii GJ2 투여 용량 의존적으로 저하되었다. 지방조직의 HR-LPL과 TE-LPL 활성은 HCD군이 다른 군들에 비하여 증가하였으며, Leu. kimchii GJ2 투여 용량이 증가할수록 HR-LPL과 TE-LPL 활성 모두 유의하게 저하되었다. 이상의 결과 Leu. kimchii GJ2은 고콜레스테롤식이 급여로 증가 되어진 총콜레스테롤 및 LDL-콜레스테롤 함량을 감소시키고, 감소되어진 HDL-콜레스테롤 함량을 증가시킴으로써 혈청 지질을 저하시키며, 간기능 보호효과가 있는 것으로 확인되어 고지혈증 예방과 치료에 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다. Leu. kimchii GJ2의 이러한 효과는 Leu. kimchii GJ2가 EPS를 생성하여 유산균 본래의 기능인 장 운동 개선효과와 식이섬유소처럼 작용하여 지질의 장내에서의 흡수를 저해했기 때문이라 사료된다.
