Abstract

The effects tea beverages (TBs) prepared from powdered green tea (Gt), oolong tea (Ot), black tea (Bt), or pure tea (Pt) with lemon, orange, grenadine etc on cadmium toxicity in rats were investigated Sensory evaluations of the TBs are better than those of each water extracted teas. Cadmium (50 ppm) was administered to experimental rats fed a basic diet, or a diet with various TBs (15% w/v), for 5 weeks. Although body weight gains, feed intakes, and fecal weights in all Cd-treated groups were lower than those in the normal control group (NC), feed efficiency ratio, urine volumes, liver weights, and kidney weights did not differ significantly between groups. The serum ALT and AST levels in the Cd-treated control group (Cd-Co) were higher than those in the NC animals. Serum ALT and AST levels in all Cd-treated rats fed TB-supplemented diets were lower than in animals of the Cd-Co group. Tibia and femur weights in Cd-Co animals were lower than those in NC rats. Tibia and femur weights in Cd-treated rats fed TB-supplemented diets were higher than those in Cd-Co animals. There were no between-group differences in tibia lengths; animals in the NC and TB-supplemented diet groups showed femur lengths longer than those of Cd-Co rats. Although the contents of crude ash and cadmium in the femurs of Cd-Co mts was markedly higher than in the femurs of NC animals, the cadmium content in femurs of Cd-Co rats was significantly lower than that in the femurs of NC animals. The changes in mineral levels caused by Cd administration were alleviated by every TB-supplemented diet tested Whereas fecal calcium excretion by Cd-Co animals was significantly higher than that of NC rats, calcium excretion by Cd-treated rats fed TB-supplemented diets was significantly lower than that of Cd-Co animals. Fecal cadmium excretion by all Cd-treated rats fed TB-supplemented diets was significantly higher than that of Cd-Co animals. In conclusion, this study provides experimental evidence that various TBs may regulate cadmium-induced organ toxicity by reducing cadmium accumulation in tissues through the mechanism of increasing the fecal excretion of cadmium.

말차, 오룡차, 홍차 및 보이차로 제조한 음료가 Cd에 중독된 SD계 흰쥐의 해독에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 관능검사 결과 일반 물 추출물에 비하여 색상, 향, 맛에 대한 기호도가 현저하게 향상되었으며, 종합적 기호도는 오룡차 음료가 4.18점, 홍차음료가 4.14점으로 말차음료나 보이차 음료의 $3.74{\sim}3.88$점에 비하여 높았다. SD계 흰쥐를 정상군 (NC), Cd 대조군(Cd-Co), Cd투여 말차음료 15% 급여군 (Cd-Gt), Cd투여 오룡차음료 15% 급여군(Cd-Ot), Cd투여 홍차음료 15% 급여군(Cd-Bt) 및 Cd투여 보이차음료 15% 급여군 식이군(Cd-R)의 6군으로 구분하여 5주간 사육하였다. 차 음료 식이군의 체중증가량은 NC군에 미치지는 못하였으나 Cd에 의하여 감소된 현상을 상당히 개선하였다. 식이효율, 뇨량 및 분변량은 각 실험군간의 유의적인 차이가 없었다. Cd의 투여는 간과 신장의 중량, 경골의 중량 및 대퇴골의 길이를 감소시켰으나 차 음료의 섭취로 다소 개선되었다. 혈청 AST 및 ALT 활성은 모두 Cd 투여군에서 현저하게 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 차 음료 급여군에서는 5%수준에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 대퇴골의 조회분 함량은 Cd-Co군에서 40.72%, Cd 투여-차 음료 급여군에서는 $35.31{\sim}37.02%$로 차음료의 급여에 의하여 5%수준에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 대퇴골의 조회분 함량은Cd-Co군에서 40.72%, Cd 투여-차 음료 급여군에서는 $35.3{\sim}37.02%$로 차음료의 급여에 의하여 유의적으로 감소하였다 대퇴골의 Cd함량은 NC군에서는 0.08 ppm이었으나 Cd-Co군은 123.28 ppm, 실험식이군에서는 $23.07{\sim}28.82 ppm$으로 차음료의 급여로 현저하게 감소하였으며, Ca 함량은 NC군에서 6700 ppm, Cd-Co군에서 3760 ppm, 실험식이군에서는 $4040{\sim}5420 ppm$이었다. 분변의 회분함량은 Cd-Bt군이 14.80%로 높았으나 기타 음료군은 Cd-Co군과의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 분변의 Cd 함량은 NC군 0.02 ppm, Cd-Co군 2.06ppm, 실험식이군 $4.38{\sim}5.35ppm$로 차 음료 급여군에서 높았으며, 이와 대조적으로 Ca함량은 차음료 급여군에서 낮았다. 이상의 실험결과, 말차, 오룡차, 홍차 및 보이차로 제조한 음료는 상호간의 뚜렷한 차이는 없으나 모두 섭취한 Cd를 체외로 배설시킴으로서 Cd에 의한 장기 손상을 경감시켜 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
