Abstract

Probiotics is known improve the microenvironment of colon; however, the metagenomic DNA study of its lactic acid bacteria in constipation induced by loperamide is not clearly understood. In the present study, we investigated the reduction of the lactic acid bacteria in case of constipation, in normal and loperamide-induced rat. Lactic acid powder (lactic acid bacteria 19) was prepared from Chong Kun Dang Pharmaceutical Corporation. After 2 weeks of oral administration, the group treated with the higher concentration of lactic acid bacteria ($10^9CFU/mL$ per kg of body weight) following loperamide treatment was the most effective in increasing number, weight, and water content of feces. A similar but significant increase was found in the group treated with lower concentration of lactic acid bacteria ($10^7CFU/mL$ per kg of body weight) after loperamide treatment. The concentrations of acetic acid and propionic acid in feces in the loperamide-induced rat with high concentration lactic acid, were significantly higher than that of others. Furthermore, gastrointestinal transit ratio as well as the length and area of intestinal mucosa were significantly increased after treatment with lactic acid bacteria in loperamide-induced rat. Metagenomics DNA analysis indicated that the microorganism homology in cecum was similar between the groups of normal (NOR) and HIG. Our results show that lactic acid bacteria were effective in improving the constipation.

Loperamide를 통해 변비가 유발된 실험동물에 유산균 투여가 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 14일 동안 저농도($10^7CFU/mL$ per kg of body weight)의 유산균과 고농도($10^9CFU/mL$ per kg of body weight)의 유산균을 투여한 후, 변비개선 효과를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 변비 유발 후 유산균을 투여한 실험군들의 경우, 대조군(CON)에 비하여 변의 개수, 변 중량 및 수분 함량이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 또한 소화관 이동률을 조사한 결과, 대조군(CON)에 비하여 변비 유발 후 유산균을 투여한 군에서 정상대조군(NOR)인 군과 유사한 이동성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 변비가 유발된 실험동물의 혈청 중성지방, 총 콜레스테롤 함량, HDL-콜레스테롤 함량에는 유산균 투여 유무 및 유산균의 농도에 대한 영향을 크게 받지 않은 것으로 보여진다. 고농도의 유산균을 섭취시킨 실험동물군(HIG)의 경우, 분변으로 유도된 아세트산과 프로피온산의 함량이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 또한 헤마톡실린 및 에오신 염색을 통한 장내 상피세포 관찰을 통해 유산균 분말 투여시 장 점막의 길이와 넓이가 유의적으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 메타지노믹스 유전자 분석을 통한 미생물 분포의 상동성을 비교해 본 결과, 고농도의 유산균 투여군(HIG)이 정상대조군(NOR)과 가장 흡사한 분포 특성을 가지고 있음을 보여주었다. 이상의 결과에 따라 유산균 제제는 변비 개선 효과가 있다고 볼 수 있다.
