Abstract

Excessive intake of trans fats is known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Previously, we have shown that green tea extract (GTE) lowers the intestinal absorption of lipids and lipid-soluble compounds in rats. This study was conducted to investigate a possible role of GTE on the lymphatic absorption of elaidic acid, a major trans fat in the diet. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats with lymph duct cannula were infused via an intraduodenal catheter at 3.0 mL/hr for 8 hr with a lipid emulsion containing $180.0{\mu}mol$ elaidic acid, $400.0{\mu}mol$ triolein, $20.7{\mu}mol$ cholesterol, $3.1{\mu}mol$ ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, and $396.0{\mu}mol$ sodium-taurocholate with or without (control) GTE in a 24 mL PBS buffer (pH, 6.4). Simultaneously, lymph was collected hourly for 8 hr via the lymph duct cannula. There was a significant difference in lymph flow by GTE. Also, the lymphatic absorption of elaidic acid for 8 hr was significantly lower in rats infused with GTE than in those not infused with GTE. Similarly, GTE infusion decreased the lymphatic outputs of cholesterol, oleic acid, and phospholipids, compared with the controls. These findings provide clear evidence that GTE has an inhibitory effect on the intestinal absorption of elaidic acid and other lipids. Our work here provides the foundation for further studies to examine and evaluate dietary strategies to ameliorate dietary trans fats from the diet.

트랜스 지방 과다섭취는 심혈관계 질환의 위험인자이다. 이 연구는 녹차의 섭취가 대표적인 트랜스 지방인 elaidic acid의 소장 흡수율에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 설계하였다. 소장 지방 흡수를 in vivo 상태에서 측정하기 위해서 흰쥐의 '소장지방흡수모델(mesenteric lymph duct cannulated rat model)'을 이용하여 십이지장주입관(intraduodenal catether)과 림프채취관(lymph duct cannula)을 각각 십이지장과 소장 림프관에 설치하였다. 십이지장주입관으로 주입된 지질유화액은 $180.0{\mu}mol$ elaidic acid, $400.0{\mu}mol$ triolein, $20.7{\mu}mol$ cholesterol, $3.1{\mu}mol$ a-tocopherol, $396{\mu}mol$ sodium taurocholate 그리고 24 mL PBS 용액을 기본성분으로 했고 이 지질유화액만 공급받은 동물을 대조군(control), 녹차추출물이 추가된 지질유화액을 공급받은 동물을 녹차군으로 하였다. 지질유화액은 시간당 3 mL씩 8시간 동안 주입하였고 동시에 소장 림프관에 설치된 림프채취관으로 분비되는 림프 시료를 매시간 8시간 동안 채취하여 분석하였다. 결과적으로, 8시간 동안 소장 림프채취관으로 분비된 림프의 양은 녹차에 의해서 유의적으로 감소하였고 elaidic acid의 흡수율(분비율) 또한 녹차에 의해서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 콜레스테롤, 올레산, 인지질의 흡수율도 녹차에 의해서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 이상의 결과들은 녹차가 elaidic acid 뿐만 아니라 기타 주요 식이성 지방들의 소장흡수를 억제하는데 효과적인 수단이 될 수 있다는 것을 증명한 연구라 판단된다.
