Abstract

The effects of Monascus-fermented Korean red ginseng (MFRG) on the contents of serum lipids and tissues lipid peroxidation was investigated in alcohol feeding rats (AC group). Serum contents of total lipid and free fatty acid in alcohol feeding rats were significantly increased, but these increases tended to decrease in the AMFRG group. Serum triglyceride content was also significantly decreased in the AMFRG group compared to other groups. Serum content of total-cholesterol was significantly increased in AC group compared to normal control (NC) group, whereas there was no significant difference between the AC and AMFRG groups. Content of HDL-cholesterol in serum was slightly increased in the AC group compared to the NC group, but this increase in the AC group was more significantly increased in the AMFRG group. At the same time, atherogenic index (AI) was also significantly decreased in the AMFRG group compared to the AC group. Contents of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in the liver, heart, spleen and testes were significantly increased in the AC group compared to the NC group, but these increases were significantly less in the AMFRG group. Contents of liver nonheme ion was increased in the AC group and was significantly decreased in the AMFRG group, which suggested that lipid peroxidation contents are inversely correlated with liver nonheme ion content. Hepatic glutathione concentration was significantly decreased in the AC group, but this content was significantly increased in the AMFRG group and it showed the antioxidant abilities of glutathione. These results suggested that Monascus-fermented Korea red ginseng has anti-atherogenic index (AI) effects as well as antioxidative activities through reduced tissue oxidative stress in alcohol feeding rats.

홍국균을 홍삼 분말에 접종하여 발효시킨 홍국발효홍삼을 이용하여 알코올 투여 흰쥐의 혈중 지질 농도 및 조직 내 산화 스트레스에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 혈중 총 지질 및 유리지방산 농도는 알코올 대조군(AC)에서 증가가 홍국발효홍삼 투여군(AMFRG)에서 감소경향을 보였으며, 중성지질 농도는 양성 대조군(AS) 및 홍삼 투여군(ARG)에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 혈청 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 정상 대조군(N C)에 비해 알코올 대조군(AC)에서 유의적으로 증가하였고, 홍국발효홍삼 투여군(AMFRG)에서 알코올 대조군(AC)보다는 낮았지만 통계상의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 혈중 HDL-cholesterol 농도는 정상 대조군(NC)에 비해 알코올 투여군 모두에서 증가하는 경향을 보였는데, 특히 홍국발효홍삼 투여군 (AMFRG)에서 유의적으로 증가하였다. 동맥경화지수(AI)는 정상 대조군(NC)에 비해 알코올 대조군(AC)에서 증가한 반면 양성 대조군(AS) 및 홍삼 투여군(ARG)에서 감소경향을 보였고, 홍국발효홍삼 투여군(AMFRG)에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 간장, 심장, 비장, 고환에서 생체막 과산화지질 생성 정도는 정상 대조군(NC)에 비해 알코올 대조군(AC)에서 유의적으로 증가하였고, 이러한 증가는 홍국발효홍삼 투여군(AMFRG)에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 과산화지질 생성 촉진작용이 있는 비헴철 함량도 알코올 대조군(AC)의 간 조직에서 증가한 반면 홍국발효홍삼 투여군(AMFRG)에서 유의적으로 감소하였고, 간 조직 내 내인성 항산화 물질인 glutathione 농도는 알코올 대조군(AC)에서 유의적으로 감소하였고, 홍국발효홍삼 투여군(AMFRG)에서 유의적으로 증가하여 상호간의 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이상의 실험결과 홍국발효홍삼은 홍삼과 홍국의 상호작용에 의한 시너지 효과로 알코올 투여 동물실험에서 혈중 지질 개선효과는 물론 조직 내 항산화 활성 증가로 산화스트레스를 경감시키는 효능이 있는 것으로 사료되었다.
