Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the biocogical activity of the phospholipid separated and purified from duck egg yolk as functional brain food. A quantitative restriction of maternal diet was given to Sprague-Dawely rats during lactation. Animals were separated into three groups, such as control, duck egg phospholipid(PL) or pig-brain phospholipid additions groups. And ad libitum during lactation was given to control groups. All of the offsprings at 3 weeks of age fed a diet ad libitum for 4 weeks of rehabilitation. Body weight and brain weight and protein, phosphplipid, and cholesterol were determined on offsprings of each of group sacrificed at 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 weeks of age, sacrified body weight of duck egg phospholipid and pig brain phospholipid group were significantly higher than the control group. Body weight and brain weight after a recovery period were significantly at the control group. However, protein, phospholipid and cholesterol contents were significantly high than the control group. Response latency in the passive avoidance task was the lowest in the ${\beta}$-amyloid group and highest in the phospholipid group. It is consequently suggested that phospholipid supplement may be effective in memory improvement.

인지질의 기능적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 체중이 $180{\sim}220g$ 되는 Sprague-Dawley계 암컷 랫드를 사용하여 대조군(식이 제한군)과 청둥오리 인지질의 투여군으로 실험하였다. 대조군은 전 실험기간 동안 먹이를 주었고 청둥오리 인지질 첨가군은 임신 중에 임의로 주고 수유 3주 동안 제한사료를 주었다. 생후 3주에 새끼 쥐들을 어미 쥐로부터 분리시켰으며, 이후 4주 동안 임의로 사료를 먹도록 하였다. 각 군에서 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 및 7주에 새끼 쥐의 체중을 측정하고 희생하여 뇌 무게, 뇌의 protein, phospholipid, cholesterol 함량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 체중은 생후 1, 2, 3주에 대조군 및 인지질 첨가군 간에 체중이 증가하여 매우 유의적인 차이를 나타내었고, 생후 5주까지 그 차이가 나타났으나, 후기에는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 뇌 무게는 생후 2, 3, 7주에 증가하여 유의적인 차이를 나타냈다. 뇌의 protein 함량은 생후 2주부터 대조군과 인지질 첨가군 사이에 증가하여 유의적인 차이를 나타내었으며, 그 차이는 식이회복 기간 중에도 나타냈다. 뇌의 phospholipid, cholesterol 함량은 생후 2, 3주에 두 군 사이에 유의적인 차이를 나타냈으며, 식이 회복 후기인 생후 7주에는 phospholipid(PL) 만이 점차적으로 증가하였다. 쥐를 대상으로 한 수동 회피 검사에서는 대조군에 비하여, Duck-PL 및 Pig-PL 첨가군의 수동 회피율이 우수하였다.
