Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Plantago asiatica L. extract on anti oxidative potential, free radical generation and the lipid levels in rats. Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were divided into two groups based on their diet, as follows: the AIN-76 diet (control group), and the modified AIN-76 diet(cholesterol 0.5%) with 0.5% P. asiatica extract, for 7 weeks. The body weight and teed efficiency ratios of the two groups did not significantly differ. The antioxidative potentials more significantly increased in the group that was fed P. asiatica extract than in the control group(p<0.05). There was no difference in the rate of free radical generation, though. The weights of the organs, such as heart, kidney, liver, and spleen, of the rats in the two groups did not differ, though. The ratio of the HDL cholesterol to the total cholesterol in the P. asiatica group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the other serum lipid parameters (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipids) did not differ between the two groups. These results imply that supplementation with P. asiatica extract may improve the antioxidant potential and decrease the lipid levels in the blood.

질경이 추출물을 농축하여 동결 건조해서 실험동물인 SD계 수컷 흰쥐의 실험식이에 0.5% 수준으로 첨가하여 7주간 사육하면서 체중은 7일 간격으로 섭취는 2일 간격으로 오전 9시에 측정하였으며, 활성산소 및 항산화 활성 측정은 2회 측정하였다. 또한 실험이 종료된 후 실험동물을 단두 도살하여 혈청 중 총콜레스테롤, HDL-콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 혈당, 인지질을 측정하여 지질함량에 미치는 영향을 측정 하였다. 질경이 추출물을 SD계 수컷 흰쥐 에 질경이 추출물이 함유된 식이를 급여 후 식이섭취량, 체중 증가량을 측정한 결과 질경이 추출물을 섭취한 rat이 대조군에 비해 모두 증가하였지만 군간 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 질경이 추출물 급여 후 적출 된 실험동물의 장기에서 대조군과 실험군의 무게 차이는 보이지 않았다. 사육 기간동안 측정한 혈액 중 항산화에서는 7주째 질경이가 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 수치가 높게 나왔으며, 활성산소는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 실험식이 종료 후 살험동물에서 적출한 장기의 무게를 측정한 결과 심장, 신장, 장, 간 모두 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한, 혈청 중의 총콜레스테롤 함량 측정 결과 질경이 추출물 급여군이 대조군에 비해 낮은 함량을 나타내었고, HDL-콜레스테롤 함량에서는 대조군에 비해 높은 함량을 나타내었지만 유의적으로 증가하지는 않았다. HDL-cholesterol/Total cholesterol의 비율에서도 질경이 추출물 급여군이 유의적으로 증가하였다. LDL-cholesterol 함량은 질경이 추출물 급여군이 대조군에 비해 낮은 함량을 나타내었으나 유의적인 차이는 아니었다. 중성지방 함량은 질경이 추출물 급여군이 대조군에 비해 낮은 수치를 보였으며, 혈당 함량과 인지질 함량은 대조군에 비해 높은 수치였으나 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 이상에서와 같이 질경이 추출물 급여한 흰쥐를 이용한 동물실험에서 항산화능 및 혈청의 지질대사 개선 효과가 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 천연물의 조추출물을 이용한 기반연구로서 향후 질경이의 항산화 효과와 지질개선에 대한 분자생물학적 조직병리학적 후속연구가 필요하다고 사료되며, 이 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 질경이의 항산화 식품이나 지질개선 기능성 식품 소재로의 활용이 기대된다.
