Abstract

Persimmons are shown to contain high levels of phenolics. The present study was designed to investigate if a sweet persimmon wine (SPW) would affect the development of alcoholic fatty liver in rats. Initially, male Sprague-Dawley rats were housed singly in stainless steel wire-bottomed cages in a room of controlled temperature and lighting. The rats had free access to a nutritionally adequate AIN-93G diet and deionized water. After the acclimatization period, rats were weight-matched and assigned to the following three groups: two groups were fed 6.7% ethanol or the caloric equivalent of maltose-dextrin in a Lieber-DeCarli diet and the other group was fed the isocaloric Lieber-DeCarli diet containing SPW at the same ethanol level. All three groups were fed their respective diets for 6 weeks. Serum transaminase, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were measured. Liver lipids and histology were assessed at 6 weeks. The total phenolic content and the antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of SPW were determined. SPW significantly increased antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. As markers of liver injury, serum alanine and aspartate transminases were markedly lowered by SPW at 6 weeks. SPW significantly reduced the serum levels of serum cholesterol and triglyceride compared to ethanol treatment. SPW delayed the development of an alcoholic fatty liver by reversing fat accumulation in the liver, as evidenced in histological observations. Taken together, SPW seems to protect the liver from becoming fatty by alleviating fatty liver symptoms and lowering hepatic and serum lipid levels. Such a protective effect of SPW appears to be in part due to its phenolics.

본 연구에서는 흰쥐를 이용, 단감발효주의 항산화성과 알코올성 지방간 증상 완화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Lieber-DeCarli 액체 표준식이만 공급받는 동물군을 대조군, 에탄올에 의한 열량 보충으로 대조군과 동일 열량의 액체식이를 공급받은 에탄올군, 에탄올군과 동일한 양의 알코올을 함유하는 단감발효주가 혼합된 액체식이를 공급받는 단감발효주군으로 하여 7마리씩 3그룹으로 나누어 6주간 사육하였다. 시작 전, 3주째, 그리고 6주째에 혈액을 채취하였고 간은 6주 혈액 채취 직후 적출되었다. 단감발효주의 총 페놀함량은 24.59 mg/100 mL이었고 SOD 유사활성은 20.9%이었으며 DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 27%로 나타났다. 6주간의 체중증가율은 대조군과의 비교에서 에탄올군에서는 유의적으로 감소되었으나 에탄올군과 단감발효주간의 비교에서는 차이가 없었다. 혈액의 중성지방 농도는 에탄올군과 단감발효주군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 혈액의 ALT, AST 농도는 대조군에 비해서 에탄올군에서 유의적으로 증가되었으나 단감발효주군에서는 유의적으로 감소하였다. 간조직의 사진촬영에서와 유사하게 간조직의 총지방량은 대조군에 비해 에탄올군에서 유의적으로 증가되었고 단감 발효주군에서는 유의적으로 감소하였다. 간조직의 주요 지방 종류별 총지방산 비교에서도 중성지방 분획의 지방산들은 에탄올군에서 유의적으로 증가되었으나 단감발효주군에서는 유의적으로 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 본 실험을 통해 단감발효주가 알코올 섭취로 증가된 혈중 지질 수준과 간기능 지표 수준을 개선시키는 효과를 나타냈으며 지방간 형성이 유의적으로 억제되는 것을 간조직 지방분석을 통해 확인하였다. 이는 전통기능성주인 단감발효주에 포함된 다양한 폴리페놀이 알코올에 의한 간 손상을 보호하는데 기여할 수 있음을 증명한 실험결과로 판단된다.
