Abstract

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Agarum cribrosum on weight change and defecation states in rats with constipation induced by loperamide. Food intake and body weight both decreased in the 5% Agarum cribrosum and loperamide-treated group (SD5) and 10% Agarum cribrosum and loperamide-treated group (SD10), whereas fecal water contents increased by 1.6 and 2.1-fold in the SD5 and SD10 groups, respectively. The concentrations of total-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride in the sera of the SD5 and SD10 groups were lower than those in the control (C) group. However, the biochemical parameters, GOT (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase), GPT (glutamic pyruvic transaminase), and glucose levels, were not affected by the level of Agarum cribrosum. In addition, the concentrations of total-cholesterol and triglyceride in the livers of the SD5 and SD10 groups were also lower than those in the control group. The results of the present study demonstrated that Agarum cribrosum might ameliorate constipation symptoms, and lower lipid concentrations in the blood and liver.

구멍쇠 미역의 변비 개선 효능을 검정한 결과, 흰쥐의 사료섭취량과 체중 변화는 정상군에 비해 구멍쇠 미역 투여군이 유의적으로 식욕억제와 비만예방에 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 장통과시간은 대조구 853.1분이었고, 구멍쇠 미역 5% 급이군에서 789.7분으로 감소하였다. 변비를 유발시키면서 식이섬유를 급이한 흰쥐의 체중 대비 간의 무게는 모든 실험군에서 정상군과 차이가 없었으며, 신장의 무게도 각 실험군에서 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 또한, 소장 및 대장의 길이는 변비의 유무와 식이섬유 급원에 따른 군간 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 분변량을 측정한 결과 정상군의 1일 평균 분변량은 2.84 g, 대조군은 1.34 g, 구멍쇠 미역 5% 급이군은 1.57 g, 구멍쇠 미역 10% 급이군은 2.02 g으로 구멍쇠 미역의 섭취가 변비 증상 호전 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 분변의 수분함량 측정 결과, loperamide를 단독 투여한 대조군 분변의 수분함량이 정상군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하여 loperamide 투여로 인해 변비가 유발된 것을 확인하였으며, 구멍쇠미역 5% 및 10%가 함유된 사료를 급이한 군은 정상군에 비해 분변의 수분함량이 각각 1.6배 및 2.1배 증가하였다. 구멍쇠 미역을 급이한 흰쥐의 혈청 중 cholesterol 및 triglyceride 함량 변화측정 결과, 혈청 중 total cholesterol 함량은 구멍쇠 미역 5% 급이군에서 loperamide로 변비를 유발한 대조군에 비해 3.5% 감소하였으나 유의적인 차이는 없었으며, 구멍쇠 미역 10% 급이군은 40.21 mg/dL로 33.5% 감소하여 구멍쇠 미역의 섭취량이 높아질수록 흰쥐의 혈중 cholesterol 함량이 감소하였다. GOT 및 GPT는 각 실험군에서 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, BUN 농도는 대조군에 비해 구멍쇠 미역 10% 급이군에서 낮게 나타났으며, 혈중 포도당 농도는 각 실험군 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 간 조직 내의 총콜레스테롤 분석 결과, 구멍 쇠 미역 급이군 모두 정상군 및 대조군에 비해 총콜레스테롤 함량이 감소하였으며, loperamide 투여에 의해 감소되었던 HDL-콜레스테롤은 구멍쇠 미역 급이 시 대조군에 비해 증가하였으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 또한, 중성지방 함량은 총 콜레스테롤과 마찬가지로 구멍쇠 미역 급이군이 정상군과 대조군에 비해 감소하였다. 이와 같은 결과로 보아 구멍쇠 미역은 장 이동률을 증가시켜 장운동을 촉진하리라 생각되며, 변비 해소 작용도 나타내어 장 기능 개선에 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
