Abstract

Purpose: Obesity, a worldwide epidemic, is associated with insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Many strategies, including natural alternative anti-obesity agents, are used widely to prevent obesity. This study examined the effects of silkworm hemolymph on the weight control of C57BL/6N mice fed with a high-fat diet. Methods: The mice were divided into five groups: normal group (N), high-fat diet group (HFC), high-fat diet and silkworm hemolymph (at dose of 1 mL/kg BW (HFS-1), 5 mL/kg BW (HFS-5) and 10 mL/kg (HFS-10) for 12 weeks. Results: After 12 weeks treatment, the administration of silkworm hemolymph decreased the final body weight significantly along with a decrease in the weights of epididymal fat and total fat. The plasma LDL-cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in the HFS-1, HFS-5, and HFS-10 groups than in the HFC group. In addition, the leptin level of the HFS groups was significantly lower than those of the HFC group without a change in the plasma insulin concentration. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the silkworm hemolymph may have the potential to prevent obesity.

본 연구에서는 고지방식이로 유도한 비만 C57BL/6N 마우스 모델에서 누에체액 투여가 마우스의 체중 감소 및 혈중 지질 개선 효과를 보이는지 평가하였다. 실험동물은 정상군 (N), 고지방대조군 (HFC), 누에체액투여군 (HFS-1, HFS-5, HFS-10)으로 분리하여 12주 동안 열량비 10% 지방식이나 45% 지방식을 섭취시키고 고지방식이 급여군들의 일부에 누에체액을 체중 대비 1%, 5%, 10% 경구투여 하였다. 그 결과 체중과 부고환지방 및 총지방의 무게가 유의하게 감소하였으며 혈장 LDL-cholesterol 농도가 고지방대조군 (HFC)군에 비하여 HFS-1, HFS-5, HFS-10군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 혈중 ALT와 AST의 활성은 고지방대조군에 비하여 HFS-5, HFS-10 군에서 유의하게 저하되었고 누에체액을 투여한 모든 군에서 HFC군과 비교하여 혈장 leptin 수준이 유의하게 감소하였다. 비록 누에체액의 유효성분을 동정하고 그 특성을 규명하기 위해서는 더 많은 연구를 필요로 하지만 본 연구 결과는 누에체액이 비만을 예방할 수 있는 잠재적인 천연소재로서 가능성을 보여준다.
