Abstract

The hepatoprotective and nephroprotective effects of Allium victorialis (AV) methanol extracts were investigated on high fat diet (HFD) supplied mice. Treatment of AV extracts (62.5, 125, 250 mg/kg) once a day for 12 weeks markedly decreased the liver steatohepatitis and kidney damages. AV extracts were inhibited the serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine elevations and reduced the histopathological changes of livers induced by HFD supply. In addition, AV extracts strengthened the antioxidative defense system with an increased activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), catalase and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The 125 mg/kg of AV extract showed similar favorable effects as compared with silymarin 100 mg/kg. It is suggested that AV methanol extract administration is beneficial to the improvement of the alleviation of liver and kidney damages in HFD supplement.

고지방식이로 유발된 간과 신장의 손상에서 산마늘 메탄올 추출물의 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 12주 동안 산마늘 메탄올 추출물 62.5, 125, 250 mg/kg/day를 투여한 결과 고지방식이로 유발된 혈청중의 AST, ALT, BUN, creatinine의 증가 억제와 간의 조직병리학적 변화를 감소시켜 지방간염과 신장의 손상이 현저하게 감소하였다. 또한, 항산화 효소인 superoxide dismutase, glutathione, catalase의 증가와 malondialdehyde의 감소로 항산화방어체계(antioxidant defense system)를 강화시켰다. 산마늘 메탄올 추출물 125 mg/kg 투여군은 대조군인 silymarin 100 mg/kg 투여군과 유사한 효과를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 산마늘 메탄올 추출물은 고지방식이로 유발되는 간과 신장의 손상을 완화하는 유용한 작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다.
