Abstract

We investigated the effect of chicory (Chicorium intybus) extract on triglyceride concentration and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) activity in rats. The effect of water-soluble extract of chicory fed at the $2.0\%\;and\;4.0\%(w/w)$ levels for 2 weeks on the concentration of serum triglyceride and the activity of hepatic microsomal riglyceride transfer protein (MTP) was investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The triglyceride concentrations in serum of the chicory extract fed groups were significantly lower than in the control group. MTP activity, known to be essential for the assembly/secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, was also significantly lower in the chicory extract groups than in the control group. The concentrations of other lipids in serum and liver and the activity of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, the rate-limiting enzyme in triglyceride synthesis, showed no significant differences among in the chicory fed groups. These results indicate that dietary chicory extract decrease hepatic MTP activity and serum triglyceride concentration, and therefore reduces hepatic lipoprotein assembly and secretion.

치커리 수용성 추출물을 $2\%$ 및 $4\%$ 수준으로 첨가한 식이를 Sprague-Dawle계 흰쥐에 2주간 투여하여 중성지질 대사에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 혈청 중성지질 농도는 대조군에 비해 치커리 추출물 투여군에서 현저히 감소하였다. Apolipoprotein B-함유 lipoprotein의 합성 및 분비에 필수적인 간장 microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP)활성도 치커리 투여군에서 현저히 감소하였다. 간 조직에서 중성지질 합성의 중요 조절효소로 알려진 phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) 활성은 각 실험군간에 큰 차이는 없었다. 또한 혈청 및 간 조직의 콜레스테롤, 인지질, 유리지방산 농도도 각 실험군간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 이상의 실험결과에서 치커리 수용성 추출물 $2\%$ 및 $4\%$ 첨가는 간 조직에서 혈중으로 분비하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 MTP활성의 감소가 혈청중성지질 농도의 감소에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인으로 사료되었다.
