Abstract

This study investigated anti-obesity and antioxidant effects of dietary non-fermented soybean crud residue (SCR) and fermented SCR by Monascus pilosus (FSCR) in high-fat induced-obese mice. SCR and FSCR were supplemented with high-fat diet at 2% (wt/wt) dose for 8 weeks. Both SCR and FSCR significantly lowered body weight, epididymal fat weight and weight gain rate compared to high-fat diet control (HC) group and FSCR group showed lowest weight gain rate. In addition, it was observed that serum and hepatic lipid profiles including triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were significantly improved by supplementing SCR or FSCR. Furthermore, SCR and FSCR administration showed increase of glutathione content and decrease of hepatic lipid peroxide content, serum aminotransferase activity, and hepatic xanthine oxidase activity. On the other hand, activities of reactive oxygen species scavenging enzyme such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase in two test groups were higher than those of HC. Lastly, in comparison with SCR, FSCR was more effective in restoring obesity-related biomarkers to normal level in high-diet induced obese mice. In conclusion, the present study indicates that FSCR could have not only anti-obese effects such as inhibition of abdominal fat accumulation, but also protective effects of cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis by decreasing serum and hepatic lipid contents. Furthermore, these results suggest that experimental diets in this study could alleviate hepatic damage caused by overproduction of reactive oxygen spices (ROS) due to obesity via inhibition of ROS generating activities and induction of ROS scavenging activities.

본 연구에서는 고지방식이로 비만을 유도한 마우스를 이용하여 비지 (SCR)와 Monascus pilosus로 발효비지의 항비만 및 항산화 효능을 조사하였다. 마우스는 비지와 발효비지를 2% (wt/wt)가 되도록 고지방식이에 첨가하여 8주간 사육하였다. 비지 및 발효비지 투여군은 고지방식이 대조군과 비교할 때 모두 유의한 수준의 체중 감량, 체중 증가율, 부고환주변의 지방 함량이 낮았다. 8주째의 초기체중에 대한 체중증가율은 정상식이군 19.54%, 고지방식이군 45.40%, 비지군 33.39% 그리고 발효비지군 31.42%로 발효비지군에서 가장 낮았다. 또한 혈청의 triglyceride, 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 함량 그리고 간 조직의 trigrlyceride 함량도 고지방식이로 증가된 수준에서 크게 줄어들었다. 한편 비지와 발효비지의 급여는 glutathione 함량을 높이고, 지질의 과산화, 혈청의 aminotransferase 및 xanthine oxidase의 활성을 낮추는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, superoxide dismutase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase의 활성은 비지 및 발효비지군 모두에서 고지방식이군에 비하여 높았다. 마지막으로, 비지군과 비교할 때 발효비지군은 고지방식이로 비만을 유도한 마우스에서 비정상적인 비만 관련 생화학적 지표들을 좀 더 효과적으로 정상식이군의 지표들로 회복시켜주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과, 고지방 식이로 인한 체중 증가와 복부지방의 축적 및 고지혈증과 간 조직의 지방 축적현상이 M. pilosus로 발효시킨 비지의 2% 식이로 항비만 효과와 동시에 혈액 및 간 조직 지방의 함량을 저하시켜 고지혈증으로 인해 야기될 수 있는 심혈관계 질환을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 활성산소 생성계의 활성 억제와 활성산소 소거계 활성 증가를 유도함으로서 비만 상태에서 나타날 수 있는 과잉의 활성산소에 의한 간 조직 손상을 예방 혹은 경감시켜줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
