Abstract

The effect of Artemisia argyi H. under liquid-state fermentation by Monascus purpureus (AAFM) on cognitive impairments has been studied in a mice model of diabetes-associated cognitive decline induced by streptozotocin (STZ). C57BL/6 mice (9 weeks of age, male) were separated into four groups: a normal control, STZ-induced diabetic mouse group (STZ group), Artemisia argyi H. (AA) 10 group (diabetic mouse+AA 10 mg/kg/day), AAFM 10 group (diabetic mouse+AAFM 10 mg/kg/day). Administration of AA and AAFM significantly improved glucose tolerance, as shown by the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT), and ameliorated cognitive deficit, as shown by the behavioral tests including passive avoidance, Morris water maze, and Y-maze tests. After behavioral tests, the cholinergic system was examined by assessment of the acetylcholine (ACh) level and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity, and the antioxidant system was also assessed by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in the brain and liver.

본 연구는 쑥 추출물(AA)과 홍국균(Monascus purpureus)으로 발효된 쑥(AAFM)을 이용하여 STZ로 인한 당뇨성 인지장애 개선효과를 확인하고자 수행되었다. C57BL/6L 마우스에 streptozotocin(STZ)을 복강 주사하여 당뇨를 유발시킨 후 4개의 군으로 분리하였고, 6주간 24시간 간격으로 AA 10 mg/kg BW와 AAFM 10 mg/kg BW을 경구투여 하였다. 7일 간격으로 혈당을 측정하였으며, 혈당 측정 결과 AA와 AAFM을 섭취한 군에서 STZ군 대비 유의적인 혈당감소를 나타내었다. Passive avoidance, Morris water maze 및 Y-maze test를 통해 STZ로 유도한 당뇨 동물모델에서 기억력 장애를 확인하였으며, 발효 쑥(AAFM)군에서 학습에 의한 기억력과 운동능력이 더 회복된 것을 확인하였다. 혈청분석 결과 STZ군에서는 GOT, GPT, BUN와 혈중 지질 함량이 높게 나타난 반면 발효 쑥(AAFM)군에서는 GOT, GPT 및 BUN이 STZ그룹에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였으며, HTR이 높게 나타났고 TG와 LDLC가 낮게 나타나 혈중 지질 성분이 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 마우스 뇌 조직에서 발효 쑥(AAFM)은 아세틸콜린에스터레이스 활성을 저해시키고 아세틸콜린 함량을 증가시킴으로써 STZ로 인한 당뇨병에서의 신경전달시스템을 개선효과를 나타내었다. 발효 쑥(AAFM)의 경우, 마우스의 뇌 조직에서 SOD 함량을 증가시키고, 뇌와 간에서의 MDA 함량을 감소 시킴으로써 STZ와 같은 산화적 스트레스 인자에 대한 산화방지 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들을 종합해볼 때, 홍국균을 활용한 발효 쑥(AAFM)은 STZ로 유도된 당뇨 모델에서 당뇨성 인지장애에 대한 기억력 개선효과를 나타내었다. 특히, 쑥 추출물(AA)보다 마우스의 운동능력을 개선시켰으며, 혈중 지질 개선효과를 나타냈다. 더불어 산화방지 효과를 나타내 고혈당으로 발생될 수 있는 산화적 스트레스로부터 뇌 조직 등을 보호할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 결국 고혈당으로 인한 인지장애의 예방과 치료에도 효과를 나타낼 것으로 사료되어 고부가가치 식품으로 활용될 수 있는 산업적 가능성이 있다고 판단된다.
