Abstract

The effect of liquid cultures of Cordyceps militaris (LCM) on weight gain, food intakes, food efficiency ratios, serum and hepatic lipids, fecal lipids excretion, serum protein and enzyme activities, were investigated in adult female rats (30 weeks old). Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one normal and four hyperlipidemic diet groups, Hyperlipidemic diet groups (20% fat, 1% cholesterol) were divided into high fat diet (LCM free water), 10%, 20% or 30% LCM diet groups (10%, 20% or 30% LCM in water) according to the levels of LCM supplementation. After 35 days of experimental diet consumption, the body weight gains, hepatic weights, and food efficiency ratios of the rats fed hyperlipidemic diets were significantly increased compared with those of the rats fed normal diet. The concentrations of serum and hepatic triglycerides, hepatic total lipid, and atherogenic index of the rats fed 20% or 30% LCM diets were significantly lower than those of the rats fed the high fat diet. The concentration of serum HDL-cholesterol of the rats fed all LCM diets was significantly higher than those of the rats fed the high fat diet. The fecal excretion of triglyceride in the rats fed 20% or 30% LCM diets was significantly higher than those of the rats fed high fat diet. The concentrations of serum and hepatic total cholesterol, serum LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio, fecal excretion of cholesterol, and the activities of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase and alkaline phosphatase of the rats fed all LCM diets were similar to those of the rats fed high fat diet. No differences were noted in the weights of kidney and femur, the serum concentration of glucose, total protein and albumin, and the activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and ${\gamma}$ -glutamyltranspeptidase, among the rats on all the experimental diets. These results showed that the 20% or 30% LCM diets feeding decreased the serum and hepatic triglycerides, and the atherogenic index, and increased the serum HDL-cholesterol of the adult female rats.

동충하초(C. militaris)의 균사체 액체배양액이 고지방 식이를 섭취한 성숙한 암쥐의 생리활성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자, 생후 30주령의 흰쥐에 표준식이를 급여한 정상군, 표준식이에 15% 돈지와 1% 콜레스테롤을 첨가한 식이를 급여한 고지방군, 고지방 식이에 균사체 액체배양액을 각각 10%, 20% 및 30%씩 음료수에 혼합하여 급여한 군 등 5군으로 나누어 5주간 사육하였다. 실험동물의 체중증가, 식이효율, 및 간의 무게는 고지방군과 각 수준별 균사체 배양액군이 비슷한 수준을 보였으나 정상군 보다는 유의하게 증가되었다. 간의 총 지질 농도, 간과 혈청의 중성지질 농도 및 동맥경화지수는 고지방군에 비하여 20%와 30% 균사체 배양액군이 유의하게 감소시키는 효과가 나타났다. 혈청의 HDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 고지방군에 비하여 각 수준별 균사체 배양액군이 유의하게 증가시키는 효과가 나타났다. 분중 중성지질 배설량은 고지방군에 비하여 20%와 30% 균사체 배양액군이 유의하게 증가되었다. 간과 혈청의 총 콜레스테롤 농도, 혈청의 LDL-콜레스테롤 농도, 분의 콜레스테롤 배설량, 및 혈청의 GPT와 ALP의 활성은 고지방군과 각 수준별 균사체 배양액군이 비슷한 경향으로 나타났으나 정상군 보다는 유의하게 증가되었다. 총 콜레스테롤에 대한 HDL-콜레스테롤 비율은 정상군에 비하여 각 실험군이 유의하게 감소되었다. 혈당, 혈청의 총 단백질과 알부민 농도, 알부민/글로불린 비율, 신장과 대퇴골의 무게, 혈청의 COT와 ${\gamma}$-CTP의 활성은 정상군과 각 실험군이 비슷하여 정상 수준을 유지하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 고지방 식이에 20% 및 30% 동충하초의 균사체 액체배양액 섭취가 간의 총 지질, 간과 혈청의 중성지질 농도 및 동맥경화지수를 낮추는 효과가 있고, HDL- 콜레스테롤 농도를 증가시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.각된다.
