Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the effects of ethyl acetate(EtOAc) fraction of pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb et Zucc) needle on cholesterol and lipofuscin(LF) accumulations, acetylcholine(ACh) and its related enzyme activities such as choline acetyltransferase(ChAT) and acetylcholinesterase(AChE), and monoamine oxidase-B(MAO-B) activity, which destroyed the catecholamine related neurotransmitters in brain membranes of Sprague- Dawley (SD) rats. Male SD rats were fed basic diets (control group) and experimental diets (EtOAc-25, EtOAc-50 and EtOAc-100) for 45 days. Cholesterol accumulations in mitocholndria and microsomes were significantly inhibited (11.8-12.1% and 9.6-13.0%, respectvely) in EtOAc-50 and EtOAc-100 groups. ACh levels and ChAT activities were significantly increased about 10% in membranes of EtOAc-100 group compared with control group. AChE activities were significantly increased about 8 -12% in membranes of EtOAc-50 and EtOAc-100 groups compared with control group. MAO-B activities were significantly inhibited about 10% in membrane of EtOAc-l00 group compared with control group. These results suggest that ethyl acetate fraction of pine needle may play an effective role in inhibiting cholesterol and improving a membrane fluidity, and learning and memory impairments.

솔잎 EtOAc획분을 하루 25, 50, 100mg/kg BW로써 SD계 랫트에 45일동안 투여하여 뇌조직획분의 콜레스테롤 및 lipofuscin(LF)의 침착, acetylcholine(ACh) 및 ACh의 합성효소 choline acetyltransferase(ChAT), 신경전달에 관여하는 효소 acetylcholinesterase(AChE)의 활성, 카테콜아민계 신경전달물질의 파괴효소 monoamine oxidase-B(MAO-B)의 활성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 뇌조직의 mitochondria 및 microsome획분중의 콜레스테롤이 EtOAc-50 및 EtOAc-100투여그룹에서만 유의적인 11.8-12.1% 및 9.6-13.0%의 침착 억제효과가 인정되었지만, LF는 모든 EtOAc획분의 투여그룹에서 유의적인 침착 억제효과를 인정할 수 없었다. 뇌조직중의 신경전달물질 ACh의 함량 및 ACh의 합성효소 ChAT의 활성은 EtOAc획분의 용량의존적으로 증가현상이 나타났지만, EtOAc-100투여그룹에서만 다같이 약 10%의 유의적인 증가효과가 인정되었다. 또한 뇌조직 중의 신경전달에 관계하는 AChE의 활성도 EtOAc획분의 용량의존적으로 증가현상이 나타났지만, EtOAc-50 및 EtOAc-100투여 그룹에서만 8.2-11.9%의 유의적인 증가효과가 인정되었다. Catecholamine계 신경전달물질의 파괴효소인 MAOB의 활성은 EtOAc획분의 용량의존적으로 억제하였지만, EtOAc-100투여그룹에서만 약 10%의 유의성이 인정되었다. 따라서 솔잎의 EtOAc획분의 투여는 콜레스테롤의 침착을 억제하며 기억$.$학습관련 신경전달물질 및 관련효소의 활성에 매우 유효하게 작용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
