Studies on Physicochemical and Biological Properties of Depolymerized Alginate from Sea Tangle, Laminaria japonicus by Heating Hydrolysis 3. Excretion Effects of Cholesterol, Glucose and Cadmium (Cd) in Rats

다시마 (Laminaria japonicus) Alginate의 가열가수분해에 따른 물리${\cdot}$화학적 및 생물학적 특성에 관한 연구 -3. 랫드의 Cholesterol, Glucose 및 카드뮴 (Cd) 체외 배출효과-

To extend utilization of alginate from the sea tangle, Laminaria japonicus, depolymerized alginates (HAG-10, average molecular weight 10,000; HAC-50, average molecular weight 50,000; HAG-100, average molecular weight 100,000) were obtained by hydrolysis of alginate by heating at $12^{\circ}C$. The effects of each depolymerized alginate on excretion of cholesterol, glucose and namium in rats were investigated. The total excretion rate (${\%}$) of cholesterol and cadmium was the highest in rats administered with HAG-50, The rate was $45.81{\%} and 59.02{\%} with HAG-50$. It was high in the order of $45.78{\%} and 56.05{\%}$ in HAG-100, $41.28{\%}$ and $55.96{\%}$ in alginate, and $32.11{\%} and 44.92{\%} in HAC-10$, respectively. In the case of HAG-50, it significantly (p<0.01) prevented the serum glucose level of rats from rising within 30 min and 60 min after glucose loading or administration among all the samples, but it had no particular effects on the serum insulin level. In conclusion, it was suggested that HAG-50, in which the alginate had a decreased molecular weight, while still retaining its desirable functions as a dietary fiber, was effective in excretion of harmful substances, such as cadmium and cholesterol, and in lowering glucose activities in serum of rats.

Alginate의 기능적 특성을 개선하여 이용성을 확대할 목적으로 가열에 의한 저분자화를 시도하였으며, 저분자 alginate가 랫드의 cholesterol, glucose 및 카드뮴의 체외배출효과에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 랫드에 있어서 HAG-10, HAG-50, HAG-100 및 alginate의 cholesterol의 체외배출 효과는 HAG-50과 HAG-100에서 높았고, 다음으로 alginate였으며 HAG-10은 거의 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 혈청중 glucose 함량은 HAG-50에서 그 농도가 가장 낮았고 이후에도 계속적으로 혈당의 농도가 저하하였으며, 혈칭중의 insulin의 함량도 HAG-50에서 초기에 증가한 후에 계속 저하하였다. 카드뮴의 체외배출 효과는 HAG-50에서 가장 높았고, 다음으로 HAG-100과 alginate 및 HAG-10의 순으로 HAG-10에서는 거의 효과가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 부터, HAG-50은 랫드에 있어서 cholesterol과 카드뮴의 체외배출을 촉진하였으며, 혈중 glucose 농도론 저하시키는데 뚜렷한 효과를 나타내었다.
