Abstract

We investigated the anti-obesity effects of the water extract from Orostachys japonicus in high-fat-fed mice. For the analysis, 24 mice were divided into four groups: normal (N) group, high-fat diet (HFD) group, high-fat diet supplemented with 2.5% O. japonicus (HFD-OJL) group, and high-fat diet supplemented with 5% O. japonicus (HFD-OJH) group. The body weight gain and food efficiency ratio increased with a high-fat diet, but significantly decreased in the HFD-OJ groups compared with those in the HFD group. Levels of serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol were significantly lower, but the HDL-cholesterol level was significantly higher in the HFD-OJH group. The adipocytes within the epididymal adipose tissue were found to have expanded in the HFD group. However, the adipocytes in the HFD-OJ groups were comparable to those of the N group. These results suggest that O. japonicus has potential as an anti-obesity agent by decreasing body weight and lowering the serum lipid levels in obese mice.

본 연구에서는 와송로부터 추출한 열수 추출물의 항비만 효과를 알아보기 위해 4주령의 수컷 쥐를 1주일간 적응시킨 후, 8주간 정상식이군을 제외한 모든 군에 고지방식이를 제공하여 비만을 유도하였다. 그 후 정상식이군, 고지방식이군, 2.5% 와송추출물 식이군, 5% 와송추출물 식이군으로 나누어 6주간 식이 투여를 실시하였다. 체중증가량은 고지방식이군에서 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 와송추출물 첨가 식이군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 식이섭취량에서 군간의 유의적 차이가 없었음에도 불구하고 체중증가량과 식이효율비가 와송추출물 첨가 식이군에서 탁월한 감소 효과를 보였다. 고지방 식이에 의한 혈청 중 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, LDL-콜레스테롤의 증가는 와송추출물의 섭취로 인해 낮아졌으며, HDL-콜레스테롤의 현저한 증가를 가져왔다. 부고환 지방조직에서 관찰한 지방세포의 크기 또한 와송추출물 섭취군에서 정상군과 매우 유사한 형태를 보여준다. 위의 실험 결과를 종합할 때, 고지방 식이와 함께 공급한 와송추출물은 체중감소 및 체지방 축척의 억제와 더불어 혈중 지방 수준의 개선으로 다양한 비만 유래 질병에 대한 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.
