Abstract

This study was designed to investigate whether consumption of onion wine can reduce serum biomarkers of ethanol-induced fatty liver in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were initially trained for meal feeding to prevent reduction of food intake. After the training period, rats were weight-matched and assigned to the following three groups: 1) a control group fed a control liquid diet containing maltose-dextrin, 2) an ethanol group fed an ethanol liquid diet with 95% ethanol, and 3) an onion wine group fed the same ethanol liquid diet but containing onion wine extract at 1 mL/d/group. All three groups were fed daily for 6 weeks. At 0, 3, and 6 weeks, blood was collected via the orbital sinus following overnight food deprivation and terminally organs collected. Blood lipids and transaminase activities significantly increased in the ethanol-fed group but significantly reversed in the onion wine-fed group. The hepatic levels of fat and cholesterol at 6 weeks were significantly elevated by ethanol administration but significantly reduced by onion wine. These findings indicate that onion wine may ameliorate ethanol-induced fatty liver by lowering hepatic and blood lipid levels.

본 연구에서는 흰쥐를 이용하여 양파주의 섭취가 알코올성 지방간 증상 완화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Lieber-DeCarli 액체 표준식이만 공급받는 동물군을 대조군, 대조군 표준식이의 탄수화물 대신에 에탄올로 열량을 대체한 액체식이를 공급받는 동물군을 에탄올군, 에탄올로 열량을 대체한 식이에 양파주를 추가로 공급받는 동물군을 양파주군으로 설정하여 6주 동안 공급하였다. Lieber-DeCarli 식이공급 전, 3주째 그리고 6주째에 혈액을 채취하였고, 간은 6주째 혈액 채취 직후 적출하였다. 양파주 농축액의 섭취로 인해 혈액의 중성지방과 총콜레스테롤 농도는 에탄올군에 비해 현저히 감소하였다. 혈액의 ALT, AST, ALP 농도 모두 에탄올군에 비해 양파주군에서 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 간 조직의 총지질과 콜레스테롤의 농도 모두 양파주의 공급으로 현저히 감소하였으며, 주요 지방산 비교에서도 대부분의 지방산이 에탄올군에 비해 양파주군에서 농도가 감소한 것으로 나타나 양파주의 공급이 간 조직의 지방산 축적도 억제한 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험을 통해 양파주가 알코올 섭취로 증가한 혈중 지질 수준과 간 기능 지표 수준을 개선하는 효과를 나타냈으며, 지방간 형성이 유의적으로 억제되는 것을 간 조직 지방분석을 통해 확인하였다. 이렇게 개선된 지표들을 바탕으로 양파주의 섭취는 간 조직 보호 효과와 알코올성 지방간의 개선 효과를 유도할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
