The Study on the Effect of Acanthopanax Senticocus Herbal Acupuncture on Metabolic Syndrome in High-fat Diet Fed Mice

가시오가피약침(五加皮藥鍼)이 High-fat Diet로 유발(誘發)된 대사증후군(代謝症候群)에 미치는 영향(影響)

Objective : The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Acanthopanax senticocus(AS) herbal acupuncture on the metabolic syndrome in high-fat diet fed mice. Methods : ICR mice were fed with high-fat diet to induce the metabolic syndrome. During the inducement of the metabolic syndrome, the groups were treated with AS herbal acupuncture with different concentrations(125mg/kg, 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg) to the point of Sinsu(BL23) everyday for 5 weeks. Thereafter, body weight, feed efficiency ratio, blood pressure, blood glucose, insulin level, insulin resistance, oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT), lipid profile(TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, NEFA), mass of liver, histology of white adipose tissue(WAT) and brown adipose tissue(BAT), and expression of GLUT-4 and UCP-1 mRNA were measured. Results : The risk factors of metabolic syndrome such as obesity, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus(NIDDM), insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia were aggravated by high-fat diet for 5-weeks. AS herbal acupuncture inhibited the development of weight gain, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, hypertension, dylipidemia and expression of GLUT-4 in WAT and UCP-1 mRNA in BAT, and also improved oral glucose intolerance and distribution of adipose tissue.

가시오가피약침(五加皮藥鍼)이 대사증후군(代謝症候群)에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 ICR mouse에 고지방식이로 비만과 대사증후군(代謝症候群)을 유도하면서 신유(腎兪)(BL23)에 상응하는 부위에 일정한 방법으로 가시오가피약침(五加皮藥鍼)후 체중, 식이효율, 혈중 glucose, insulin level, insulin resistance, 경구내당능, 혈압, 혈중지질의 변화, 지방조직의 중량과 면적, 조직학적 변화와 GLUT-4 mRNA 및 UCP-1 mRNA의 발현을 관찰하여 유의한 결과를 얻었다. 1. 가시오가피약침(五加皮藥鍼)은 체중의 증가와 식이효율의 상승을 억제하였다. 2. 가시오가피약침(五加皮藥鍼)은 혈중 glucose, insulin level 및 insulin resistance의 상승을 억제하고, 경 구내당능을 개선시켰다. 3. 가시오가피약침(五加皮藥鍼)은 혈압의 상승을 억제하였다. 4. 가시오가피약침(五加皮藥鍼)은 혈중지질의 이상을 개선시켰다. 5. 가시오가피약침(五加皮藥鍼)은 WAT, BAT 및 liver 중량의 증가를 억제하였고, WAT와 BAT의 면적과 직경의 증가를 억제하였다. 6. 가시오가피약침(五加皮藥鍼)은 GLUT-4 mRNA 및 UCP-1 mRNA 발현의 증가를 억제하였다.
