Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of mulberry-leaf powder Tofu (MPT) on serum lipids profiles, Ca levels, Ca/P ratio and Pb levels in 30 middle aged obese women living in the Choongnam area. 100 g/day MPT was consumed for 4 weeks. The nutrient contents per 100 g MPT were 86.71 kcal (energy), 8.98 g protein, 0.53 mg fiber, 211.33 mg Ca and 1.59 g fat. Anthropometric measurements, 24 h recall dietary intakes, serum levels of protein, albumin, glucose, Ca and Pb, lipid profiles (cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol), and the Ca/P ratio were analyzed before and after consumption of MPT. After consumption of MPT, there were no significant differences in anthropometric measurements, the levels of serum protein, albumin, glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, lipase activity, HTR (HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol), CRF (cardiac risk factor), Ca, Ca/P ratio and Pb. There were decreases in the levels of serum triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, AI (atherogenic index) and LHR (LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol). Significantly increased dietary intakes of plant protein, total Ca, and plant Ca were observed.

본 연구에서는 불균형된 식생활로 혈중 지질농도가 높은 비만한 중년여성을 대상으로 선행연구에서 개발한 단백질, 칼슘함량이 풍부한 뽕잎분말 첨가두부를 4주간 섭취시킨 후 비만한 중년 여성의 혈중지질, 칼슘, 칼슘/인 비율 및 납수준에 미치는 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 본 실험대상자의 평균 연령은 43.05세, 평균 신장은 159.60 cm이었으며 뽕잎분말 첨가두부(고단백, 고칼슘 식품)를 4주간 섭취시킨 결과 체중, 체질량지수(BMI: Body Mass Index), 체지방 및 WHR에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 총 열량섭취량에 대한 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방섭취량의 비율은 섭취 전(65 : 12 : 25)에 비해 섭취 후(65 : 14 : 24) 단백질의 섭취비율이 권장량 수준으로 상승되었다. 평균 단백질 섭취량은 섭취 전(권장량의 117%)과 섭취 후(권장량의 137%)에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 평균 식이섬유소섭취량은 섭취 전(13.25 g)과 섭취 후(13.73 g)가 유사한 수준이었다. 평균 식물성 단백질, 총 칼슘섭취량과 식물성 칼슘섭취량이 유의적으로 증가(p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05)된 반변 인의 섭취량에는 유의석인 차이가 없었다. 혈청 총 단백질, 알부민 및 혈당 수준은 섭취 전, 섭취 2주 후, 섭취 4주 후 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 뽕잎분말 첨가두부 섭취에 의해 혈청 중성지방파 LDL-cholesterol 수준은 유의적으로 감소(p<0.05, p<0.05)되었고, 심혈관계 지표로 사용되는 AI, LHR도 섭취 전에 비해 섭취 후 유의적인 감소(p<0.05, p<0.05)를 보였으나, lipase활성과 HTR의 경우는 섭취 전과 후에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 뽕잎분말 첨가두부 섭취 전과 후의 혈청 칼슘, 칼슘/인 비율은 모두 정상 범위에 들었으며, 뽕잎분말 첨가두부 섭취기간에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 그리고 혈청 납수준도 정상범위$(<20\;{\mu}g/dL)$였고 섭취기간에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 정리해보면 뽕잎분말 첨가두부를 4주간 섭취한 결과 비만 중년여성의 혈청 지질수준이 부분적으로 낮아지는 결과를 보였다. 따라서 장기적으로 일상식이를 통해 뽕잎분말 첨가두부를 섭취한다면 혈청 지질수준 뿐만 아니라 체중이나 무기질 수준에도 긍정적인 효과를 기대해볼 수 있을 것이다.
