Abstract

The effects of cereal (rice, brown rice, barley, glutinous rice) ethanol extracts on the proliferation, nitric oxide (NO) production, and level of tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) in B and T lymphocytes, isolated from human blood cells of sasang constitution, were examined in vitro. The rice, brown rice, and glutinous rice ethanol extract, which are known as suitable for eumin (taeumin and soeumin) constitutions, showed the highest activities for proliferation, NO production, and TNF-${\alpha}$ concentration, respectively. However, the barley ethanol extract, which is known tobe suitable for yangin (taeyangin and soyangin) constitutions, showed the highest overall activities for proliferation, NO production, and TNF-${\alpha}$ concentration. The different immunological activities of the cereal extracts in sasang constitution lymphocytes might be due to their individual components. Thus, determination of components from the cereal extracts suitable for sasang constitution could be useful in new food developments.

각 체질군(태양인 5명, 태음인 10명, 소양인 10명, 소음인 10명)을 대상으로 혈액을 채취하여 면역세포를 분리한 후 각 곡류(백미, 현미, 보리, 찹쌀) 추출물을 투여하여 체질에 따른 면역 활성 효능(proliferation, NO production, TNF-${\alpha}$ concentration)을 조사한 결과, 백미, 현미, 찹쌀 추출물은 음인 체질군에서 양인 체질군에 비해 높은 면역활성을 보인 반면, 보리 추출물에서는 음인 체질군에 비해 양인 체질군에서 높은 면역활성을 보였다. 이와 같이 곡류 추출물이 각 체질군에서 면역활성 차이를 보이는 것은 곡류 자체에 기인하는 것도 있겠지만, 곡류가 가지고 있는 고유한 특이 성분 차이에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구 결과, 체질에 영향을 미치는 곡류의 각 성분을 조사하여 과학적으로 규명한다면 새로운 체질 적합형 식품 개발이 가능하리라 사료된다.
