Abstract

This study was designed to investigate whether or not onion peel extract can lower blood lipid levels in rats exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) extract with a high-fat diet. Initially, male Sprague-Dawley rats were housed individually in a stainless steel, wire-bottomed cage with free access to AIN-93G diet. Rats were weight-matched and assigned to the following five groups: 1) control rats (CT) fed standard AIN-93G diet alone, 2) control rats exposed to CS extract (CT+CS), 3) high-fat group (HF) fed standard AIN-93 diet supplemented with 3% lard and 0.2% cholesterol, 4) high-fat group exposed to CS extract (HF+CS) fed standard AIN-93 diet supplemented with 3% lard and 0.2% cholesterol plus CS extract, and 5) high-fat plus onion peel (OP) extract group exposed to CS extract (HF+CS+OP) fed standard AIN-93 diet supplemented with 3% lard, 0.2% cholesterol, and onion peel extract (20 mg/17 g diet) plus CS extract. Using this feeding protocol, all animals completely consumed their respective diets throughout the 6 week duration. Blood was collected via the orbital sinus at weeks 0, 3, and 6, following overnight food deprivation. OP extract feeding resulted in significant reductions in blood triglyceride, total cholesterol, and non-HDL-cholesterol. Further, serum activities of aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase were significantly reduced by OP extract at 6 weeks. These results provide clear evidence that onion peel extract has a profound inhibitory effect on blood lipids in rats exposed to CS extract. These findings suggest that OP extract can be used as an effective means in alleviating the serum lipid concentration after CS exposure.

본 연구에서는 양파껍질 추출물이 흡연동물모델에서 고지방식이로 유도된 고지혈증의 혈액지질 대사에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 조사하였다. 흡연모델을 유도하기 위하여 담배연기(CS) 추출액을 공급하였으며, 일반식이를 공급받는 동물군을 대조군(CT), 일반식이와 담배연기 추출액을 공급받는 동물군을 대조흡연군(CT+CS), 고지방식이를 공급받는 동물군을 고지방식이군(HF), 고지방식이와 담배연기 추출액을 공급받는 동물군을 고지방흡연군(HF+CS), 고지방식이와 담배연기 추출액과 더불어 양파껍질(OP) 추출물을 공급받는 동물군을 고지방흡연양파군(HF+CS+OP)으로 6마리씩 5그룹으로 나누어 6주간 사육하였다. 실험 시작 전, 3주, 6주에 혈액을 채취하였다. 6주 동안 양파껍질 추출물의 공급으로 혈액 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤, non-HDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 HF군과 HF+CS군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 HF+CS보다 HF+CS+OP에서 혈액의 AST, ALT 농도가 유의적으로 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험을 통해 양파껍질 추출물의 공급이 담배연기 추출액과 고지방식이로 증가한 혈중지질 수준과 간 기능 지표 수준을 개선하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 지표들을 바탕으로 양파껍질의 섭취는 흡연자들의 간 기능 손상과 고지혈증 증상을 완화할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
