Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of saengmaec-san on the level of blood glucose and serum components in streptozocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The experimental groups were divided into normal group (normal), diabetic control group (Dia-control), 10% saengmaec-san (white ginseng) group (DA), 10% saengmaec-san (fermented white ginseng) group (DB), 10% saengmaec-san (fermented red ginseng) group (DC), 5% saengmaec-san (extruded and fermented white ginseng) group (DDL), 10% saengmaec-san (extruded and fermented white ginseng) group (DDH). The body weight after induction of diabetes was 85.4% in the Dia-control group compared with the normal group. But in the DA group, the body weight showed clear sign of recovery almost normal level after administration of saengmaec-san for two weeks. The food efficiency ratios (FER) were 5.94% in the normal group. But it was significantly decreased in the Dia-control group (0.58%). All the treatment groups showed increase of FER compared with the Dia-control group. The level of blood glucose was significantly increased in the STZ-induced diabetes groups but it was decreased in all the treatment groups after administration for 2 weeks. Serum creatinine level were significantly higher in the STZ-induced diabetes groups and after administration of saengmaeg-san for 2 weeks while the level of serum creatinine was decreased 33.3% in the DB group. After administration of saengmaec-san for two weeks, serum total cholesterol level were significantly lower in all treatment groups than the first day of the total cholesterol level. The level of serum triglyceride was increased in all the treatment groups compared with the first day of triglyceride level. The level of serum HDL-cholesterol, after STZ-induced diabetes, was decreased in all treatment groups but particularly in the DDL and DDH groups increased HDL-cholesterol level compared with the first day of the saengmaec-san administration. Compared with the beginning of experiment, Atherogenic index (AI) were significantly decreased in all treatment groups than the Dia-control group and showed clear sign of recovery almost normal level. These results suggested that the saengmaec-san could be developed as an antidiabetic agent.

이가 식이효율(FER), glucose, creatinine, cholesterol, triglycetide, HDL-cholesterol, 동맥경화지수(AI) 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 식이효율은 정상군이 5.94%로 가장 높았고, 당뇨대조군은 0.58%로 정상군에 비해 현격한 감소를 보였다. DA군과 DB군은 각각 3.65%, 3.38%로 다른 투여군보다 상대적으로 높은 수준의 식이효율을 보였다. 혈당변화를 측정한 결과 투여 전에 비해 DA군은 41%, DB군은 24.8%, DC군은 31.2%, DDL군은 18.6%, DDH군은 25.5%의 혈당 감소효과를 보였다. 생맥산 투여 전 creatinine 함량은 정상군에 비하여 당뇨 유발군에서 상승을 보였으며, DB군은 투여 후 33.3%의 유의적인 감소(p<0.05)를 보였고, 그 외의 군(DA, DC, DDL, DDH)에서는 유의적인 변화가 없었다. 혈청 내 cholesterol 수치의 유의적인 상승을 보인 당뇨 유발군과 비교하여 생맥산을 14일간 투여한 모든 군에서 cholesterol 수치의 유의적인 감소를 보였다. 당뇨 유발군에서 유의적인 상승을 보인 혈청 triglyceride는 DC군에서 수치가 감소하였지만 유의적인 차이는 없었다. HDL-Chlolesterol은 DA, DB, DC군에서는 유의적인 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 반면 DDL군과 DDH군에서의 HDL-chlolesterol은 투여 전과 후 각각 41.81$\pm$2.28 mg/dL, 40.75$\pm$0.48 mg/dL에서 50.59$\pm$2.77, 49.93$\pm$1.17 mg/dL로 유의적인 증가를 나타냈다. Atherogenic index(AI)를 측정한 결과 투여 전에는 당뇨유발군의 AI 수치가 정상군과 비교 시 모든 그룹에서 상승하였으나, 투여 14일 후 측정결과 DA, DB, DC군에서 정상군에 가깝게 수치가 낮아진 것을 확인했다. 또한 DDL군과 DDH군은 유의적인 AI지수의 감소를 나타냈으며 압출성형 백삼을 이용한 생맥산의 식이가 동맥경화의 예방에 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 STZ로 유도된 당뇨 rat에서 생맥산의 식이는 FER의 개선에 상당한 효과를 보이며, 고혈당을 억제시키고 정상수준의 혈당으로 회복하는데 영향을 미치는 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 발효시킨 백삼을 이용한 생맥산 투여군에서는 신장 기능의 지표인 creatinine의 함량을 낮추고 지질수준의 감소를 보여 당뇨의 증상을 완화시키고 동맥경화증과 같은 혈액 순환기계 질환의 예방에 효과적인 건강보조식품으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
