Abstract

Estrogen deficiency in peri- and postmenopausal women results in variety of neurovegetative, psychic and somatic symptoms, and may contribute to severe diseases within the aged female population. Ecklonia stolonifera (ES) is an edible brown algae traditionally used in fishery towns in Far East Asia. This study was performed to investigate the effects of ES extracts on blood flow and serum lipid concentration in ovariectomized rats. Weight-matched female Sprague-Dawley strain rats were assigned to four groups. Three groups were surgically ovariectomized (OVX). The fourth group was sham operated. Rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: sham-operated rats (Sham), ovariectomized control rats (OVX-CON), ovariectomized rats supplemented with ES extract at 50 mg/kg bw/day (OVX-ES50) and ovariectomized rats supplemented with ES extract at 200 mg/kg bw/day (OVX-ES200). Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride contents decreased in the sham group compared to the OVX-CON group. Six weeks feeding of ES extract resulted in a significant (p<0.05) lowering of serum triglyceride and a lowering tendency of total cholesterol level. The level of Hdl-cholesterol in serum increased by supplementation of ES extracts at 50 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg bw/day (p<0.05). Blood passage time of the ES extracts-supplemented group was higher than the OVX-CON group. The ability of platelet aggregation of groups treated with ES extracts was less than that of the OVX-CON group. These results suggest that the beneficial effects of ES extract may be used to possibly improve on the metabolic syndrome of menopausal women.

갱년기의 여성에는 여러 폐경 증후들이 나타나는데, 특히 estrogen의 감소로 인한 혈중 지질 조성의 변화 등으로 심혈관계 질환의 발병율이 높아지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 실험동물로써 흰쥐를 이용하여 인위적으로 갱년기를 유도한 후 갈조류인 곰피 추출물의 영향을 혈중지질 농도, 혈소판 응집력 및 혈액 유동성을 통하여 그 효과를 검토하고자 하였다. 그 결과 갱년기유도로 인하여 증가된 혈청 중 중성지방 및 총콜레스테롤 함량은 곰피 추출물 투여에 의해 저하되었으며, 특히 곰피 추출물 200 mg/kg bw/day 투여는 중성지방 함량을 유의적으로 감소시키는 결과를 나타내었다. Ldl-콜레스테롤, 동맥경화지수(AI) 및 심혈관위험지수(CRF) 또한 곰피 추출물 투여에 의해 저하되었다 한편 Hdl-콜레스테롤 농도는 난소절제에 의해 감소하였으나, 곰피 추출물을 투여에 의해 증가되었다. 혈액의 유동성에 곰피 추출물의 효과를 실험한 결과 난소 절제에 의해 혈액의 점도가 증가하여 유동성이 저하되었으나, 곰피 추출물 투여로 인해 유동성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 난소 절제에 의해 혈소판 응집능이 증가하였으나, 곰피 추출물 투여로 인해 완화되는 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 갱년기에 나타날 수 있는 혈중 지질 변화에 대하여 곰피 추출물이 지질 및 혈행 개선 효과를 나타내었으며, 특히 곰피 추출물 200 mg/kg bw/day 투여는 모든 항목에서 유의성 있는 결과를 나타내어 곰피가 심혈관 관련성 질환 예방에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.
