Abstract

Menopause is often associated with the incidence of several chronic diseases including osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. The purpose of this study was designed to evaluate the possibility of osteoporosis prevention in postmenopausal women. In this study, we investigated the effects of Ecklonia stolonifera (ES) extracts on bone turnover markers in ovariectomized rats. For this study, the following four groups of 9-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were evaluated over 6 weeks: normal rats (SHAM), ovariectomized rats (OVX-CON) and ovariectomized rats that were treated with ES extracts. We measured the osteocalcin and C-telopeptide of collagen cross-links (CTx) content, enzyme ALP activity in serum and collagen content in the cartilage, bone, skin and lungs. We found that the levels of indicators of bone metabolism such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin and CTx were lower in rats in the ES extract group than the OVX-CON group. In addition, the collagen contents in the bone, cartilage, skin and lungs decreased in response to ovariectomy, but the levels of collagen were greater in the bone of rats that were treated with ES extract than in the bone of rats in the OVX-CON group. These results suggest that the ES may be an effective functional food to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

갱년기 여성에는 여러 폐경 증후들이 나타나는데, 특히 에스트로겐의 감소로 인한 혈중 지질 조성의 변화 등으로 심혈관계 질환의 발병율이 급격히 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 또한 급격한 골 소실로 인한 골다공증의 위험성이 높아 이에 대한 예방 및 치료에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 갈조류인 곰피 추출물을 시료로하여 in vivo 실험을 통하여 갱년기 장애 시 나타날 수 있는 골 손실 개선효과를 검토하기 위하여 골 형성 지표인 alkaline phosphatase(ALP) 활성 및 osteocalcin 농도와 골 용해 지표인 C-telopeptide of collagen cross-links(CTx) 및 결합조직 중의 collagen 함량을 측정하였다. ALP는 폐경 시 에스트로겐의 결핍으로 인하여 골 전환이 증가하므로 골 형성의 지표로써 널리 사용되고 있다. 난소절제 시 에스트로겐 결핍으로 bone turnover가 증가되어 비 난소절제군에 비해 혈장 중의 ALP 활성이 증가되었으나, 난소 절제 후 곰피 추출물을 투여한 군에서는 그 활성이 유의적으로 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 이것은 난소절제 후 에스트로겐의 분비가 감소되는데 반해 곰피 추출물이 에스트로겐 대체 작용을 함으로써 난소절제로 인한 골 손실 정도를 완화시킨 것으로 추측되어진다. 혈중 osteocalcin은 난소를 절제한 OVX-CON군의 경우 난소를 절제하지 않은 SHAM군에 비해 높은 경향을 나타내어 상대적으로 골 중의 osteocalcin 함량은 줄어들었음을 나타내었다. 곰피 추출물을 투여한 경우 OVX-CON군보다 혈중 osteocalcin 농도가 농도 의존적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 혈중 osteocalcin은 골 대사가 균형을 유지할 때에는 골 대사 표지자로서 작용하여 폐경 후 증가하는 것으로 나타나고 골 대사가 불균형 시에는 골 형성 표지자로서 작용하여 증가 또는 감소하는 것으로 나타나 폐경 후 혈중 osteocalcin의 증감에 대한 해석이 다르게 나타날 수 있으므로 보다 많은 연구가 추가적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다. 한편, 골 용해 지표인 혈액 중의 CTx는 난소절제군이 비 절제군에 비해 높은 수준을 보여 난소절제군에 있어 골 용해가 증가되었음을 나타내었다. 반면 곰피 추출물의 투여로 인해 CTx 함량이 감소하였으며, ES200군의 경우 SHAM군보다 높은 수준으로 나타났다. 이는 난소절제로 인해 bone turnover가 증가된 상태에서 곰피 추출물의 투여로 인해 CTx 함량이 점진적으로 감소한 결과로써 곰피의 골 흡수 저해 효과에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 결합조직 중의 collagen 함량은 난소절제로 인하여 감소하였으나, 곰피 추출물의 투여에 의해 회복되는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히 연골 및 폐 조직에서는 난소 절제에 의해 감소한 collagen 함량이 난소 절제 후 곰피 추출물을 투여한 군에서 증가하였고, 곰피 추출물 200 mg/kg bw/day 투여군인 OVXEC200군에서 유의적으로 증가하는 결과가 나타났다. 한편 골 및 피부조직에서도 난소 절제에 의해 감소한 collagen 함량이 곰피 추출물 투여에 의해 증가하였고, 정상군인 SHAM군 수준 이상으로 증가하는 결과가 나타났다. 이상의 실험 결과는 estrogen 부족 시 일어날 수 있는 골 손실에 대한 예방 소재로써 곰피의 활용 가능성을 시사하고 있으며, 이를 활용한 기능성 소재 개발도 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
