Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of 10 week onion extract supplementation on blood lipid profiles in borderline hypercholesterolemic participants. The study consisted of 10 males and 17 females aged $45.9{\pm}10.0$ years. At baseline, serum total cholesterol level was $228.6{\pm}4.1$ mg/dL (201~239 mg/dL). This study was designed as randomized single blind placebo controlled cross-over study. After 1 week wash-out period, subjects were randomized into two groups; they took onion extract (150 mL/1 pack, containing 30 mg quercetin) or placebo for 10 weeks. After 1 week wash-out period again, subjects took exchanged samples for another 10 weeks. The total-cholesterol ($226.7{\pm}4.6{\rightarrow}206.8{\pm}3.6$ mg/dL; p<0.01), LDL-cholesterol ($151.6{\pm}5.0{\rightarrow}127.1{\pm}4.1$ mg/dL; p<0.01) and atherogenic index (AI: $4.0{\pm}0.3{\rightarrow}3.4{\pm}0.2$; p<0.05) decreased significantly after 10 weeks of onion extracts supplementation, while there were no significant changes during placebo periods. The levels of HDL-cholesterol (onion extract: $46.5{\pm}2.0{\rightarrow}50.2{\pm}2.1$ mg/dL, placebo: $47.8{\pm}2.1{\rightarrow}50.1{\pm}2.4$ mg/dL), GOT (onion extract: $36.8{\pm}1.8{\rightarrow}32.3{\pm}1.8$ IU/L, placebo: $35.1{\pm}2.1{\rightarrow}32.8{\pm}2.0$ IU/L), and GPT (onion extract: $36.5{\pm}3.2{\rightarrow}32.9{\pm}1.8$ IU/L, placebo: $36.6{\pm}3.8{\rightarrow}33.8{\pm}2.8$ IU/L) showed no significant changes in both periods. These results indicate that the consumption of onion concentrated extracts exerts beneficial effects on dyslipidemia through the decrease of serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in borderline hypercholestrolemic subjects. In conclusion, onion was useful as dietary therapy for hypercholestrolemia and adequate onion intake may help to prevent cardiovascular disease.

본 연구는 경계역 고콜레스테롤혈증을 진단받은 우리나라 성인 27명을 대상으로 양파추출물과 위약을 10주간 섭취시키고 양파추출물이 혈액 지질수준을 감소시키는 효과를 지니는지 평가하였으며 그 주요 내용을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 본 연구에서는 수세 및 세절 ${\rightarrow}$ 자숙 ${\rightarrow}$ 여과 ${\rightarrow}$ 농축과정을 통해 양파추출물을 제조하였으며, 제조된 양파추출물 150 mL(1봉)의 주요 영양소 함량은 에너지 100.5 kcal, flavonoid 222 mg, quercetin 30 mg, 식이섬유소 1.5 g이었다. 경계역 고콜레스테롤혈증을 진단받은 성인을 대상으로 1주간의 wash-out 기간 후 10주간 양파추출물 또는 위약을 1일 1봉 섭취하도록 하였으며 다시 1주간의 wash-out 기간 후 다시 10주간 시료를 교체하여 섭취하도록 하였다. 양파추출물 섭취군은 혈액 총 콜레스테롤이 8.7%(p<0.01), LDL 콜레스테롤이 16.0%(p<0.01), 동맥경화지수가 15%(p<0.05) 유의적으로 감소하였으나 중성지방, HDL 콜레스테롤은 유의적인 변화를 보이지 않았다. 위약군은 혈액 총 콜레스테롤, LDL 콜레스테롤, 동맥경화지수, 중성지방, HDL 콜레스테롤 모든 지표에서 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 양파추출물 섭취에 대한 순응도 조사결과, 대상자의 대부분 양파추출물을 정기적으로 섭취하였으며, 식욕 및 식사량의 변화, 심각한 부적응증을 보이지 않았고, 간기능 수치도 정상적으로 유지되어 양파추출물 섭취 순응도는 양호하고 안전한 것으로 평가되었다. 10주간의 양파추출물의 섭취는 경계역 고콜레스테롤혈증 환자의 총 콜레스테롤, LDL 콜레스테롤, 동맥경화지수를 감소시킴으로써 항콜레스테롤혈증 효과를 나타냈다. 따라서 일정량 이상의 양파 생리활성물질 섭취는 혈액 지질 수준을 저하시켜 심혈관질환 예방 및 치료에 도움이 될 것이며, 고지혈증 및 심혈관질환 예방과 치료를 위한 식사요법의 하나로 적정양의 양파 섭취가 권장된다. 또한 본 연구결과, 양파추출물 섭취는 비교적 안전하고 순응도도 양호하여 심혈관질환을 위한 건강기능성 식품으로서의 가능성도 확인하였다.
