Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is the presence of high levels of cholesterol in the blood, and it is regarded as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease due to the effects of cholesterol. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of unripe Rubus coreanus Miquel (uRC) extract on lipid metabolism in hypercholesterolemic mice fed a high cholesterol diet (HC). uRC 50 (unripe R. coreanus 5% ethanol extract 50 mg/kg/day), uRC 100 (unripe R. coreanus 5% ethanol extract 100 mg/kg/day), uRC 300 (unripe R. coreanus 5% ethanol extract 300 mg/kg/day), and BO (borage seed oil containing minimum of 20% ${\gamma}$-linolenic acid 30 mg/kg/day) were orally administered for 60 days after HC. Oral administration of uRC 50, uRC 100, uRC 300, and BO significantly reduced serum total-cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, atherogenic index, and cardiac risk factor levels. Similarly, uRC treatment elevated serum HDL-cholesterol levels. These results suggest that unripe R. coreanus extract could be established as a functional food for the improvement of lipid metabolism.

미숙성 복분자 5% 주정 추출물의 지질대사 개선 효과를 구명하고자 본 연구에서는 고콜레스테롤혈증 모델에게 미숙성 복분자 5% 주정 추출물 50, 100, 300 mg/kg/day의 농도(uRC 50군, uRC 100군, uRC 300군)로 60일간 경구 투여하였다. 체중증가량은 HC군과 N군 간의 차이가 없었으며 uRC 투여에 의해서도 유의차는 없었다. 식이섭취량은 HC군에 비하여 uRC 100군, BO군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 식이효율은 각 군 간에 유의차는 없었다. 간 조직의 무게는 HC군이 N군에 비하여 유의하게 증가하였다. uRC 100군, uRC 300군, BO군에서는 HC군에 비하여 감소하는 경향을 보였고 그중 uRC 100군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 신장의 무게는 거의 유사하여 복분자 추출물 투여에 의한 변화는 없었다. 비장의 무게는 HC군은 N군에 비하여 유의하게 증가하였으며 uRC 50군, uRC 100군, uRC 300군에서는 감소한 경향을 보였으며 BO 투여군에서는 HC군에 비하여 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. 총 콜레스테롤 함량은 N군에 비해 HC군에서 유의하게 증가하였고, 이러한 고콜레스테롤혈증을 유발시킨 C57BL/6 mice에 uRC 300군, BO군에서 총콜레스테롤이 유의하게 감소하였다. HDL-cholesterol은 HC군이 N군에 비해 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. HC군에 비해 uRC 50군, uRC 100군, uRC 300군, BO군으로 증가한 경향을 보였으며 BO군에서 유의적으로 증가하였다. LDLcholesterol은 NC군에 비해 HC군에서 유의한 증가를 나타내었다. 이에 비교하여 uRC 50군, uRC 100군, uRC 300군, BO군으로 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. GOT와 GPT 활성 모두 HC군이 N군에 비해서 유의하게 증가하였으며 HC군에 비하여 uRC 100군, uRC 300군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 혈청의 동맥경화지수와 심혈관지수는 HC군이 N군에 비하여 유의하게 증가하였으며, uRC 100군, uRC 300군에서 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 미숙과 복분자 5% 주정 추출물은 고콜레스테롤 식이로 유발된 고콜레스테롤혈증 모델에서 지질대사 함량을 감소시킴으로써 혈중 지질대사의 개선 효과와 더불어 동맥경화의 예방과 치료에 효과적일 것으로 사료된다. 그 외에 미숙과 복분자 추출물의 어떠한 생리활성 성분이 어떻게 작용을 하는지에 대해서는 추후 더 체계적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
