배경 : 운동부하심폐기능검사는 운동 장애의 조기진단과 환자의 심폐 예비능력을 측정할 수 있는 유용한 방법이다. 또한 비만이 최대운동의 제한인자로 작용함이 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 운동부하심폐기능검사와 체성분분석기를 통하여 비만과 비만의 부위가 최대 운동능력에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법 : 건강한 자원자 42명을 대상으로 하여 체성분분석기 Inbody 2.0 (Biospace Co)와 bicycle ergometer 2900 model(Sensormedic Co, USA)을 이용하여 체생분분석과 운동부하심폐기능검사를 시행하였다. 결과 : 전체 대상군에서 $VO_2$max/min/kg은 비만도와 의미있는 역상관관계를 보였고, 체지방율과도 통계적으로 의미있는 역상관관계를 보였다. 전체 대상군에서는 $VO_2$max/min/kg이 복부지방률과 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았지만, 남자대상군에서는 $VO_2$max/min/kg와 복부지방률이 통계적으로 유의한 역상관관계를 보였다. 결론 : 비만이 운동에 제한인자로 작용한다는 것을 확인하였고, 남자에서는 비만 중에는 특히 북부미만이 운동능력에 제한적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 확인하였다. 여성 대상자에서는 복부비만의 기준을 만족하는 대상자가 적어서 복부비만의 영향평가가 어려웠다. 이상의 결과로 임상에서 운동부하심폐기능검사 결과 판독시에는 비만과 비만부위에 의한 영향을 고려하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether gocho (苦椒) extract mesotherapy can effectively reduce weight and abdominal fat in obese patients. Methods: Forty obese participants were recruited and randomly assigned to two groups. Five participants dropped out voluntarily during the course of the study and four men were excluded from the analysis to avoid gender bias. Results are presented on a total of thirty-one women. Over an eight-week period, the treatment group (n=13) received gocho (苦椒) extract injections (100mcg/3cc) in the abdominal skin, twice per week; the control group (n=18) received normal saline injections (3cc). A mixed lidocaine and prilocaine cream (2.5%/2.5% EMLA cream) was applied before the injection. At baseline and 8 weeks, body weight, body-mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), abdominal fat, energy expenditure, and questionnaires (eating attitudes and physical activity) were evaluated in both groups. Results: Reductions in body weight (p<0.005), BMI, and WC (p<0.05) were greater in the treatment group. WHR, total fat area, and visceral fat area decreased only in the treatment group (p<0.05). Resting metabolic rate (RMR) change was correlated with weight loss only in the control group (r=-0.498, p<0.05). Before and after the treatment, there were no significant differences between the two groups in questionnaire variables (p>0.05). Conclusion: his study suggests that abdominal gocho (苦椒) extract mesotherapy might be an effective way to promote weight and abdominal fat loss in obese Korean women.

Objectives : This study was performed to evaluate the effect of the electroacupuncture therapy on abdominal fat deposit without diet, exercise and herbal medication. It was also designed to check the changes of free fatty acid in blood and catecholamine in urine to observe the mechanism of the electroacupuncture efficacy. Methods : 10 volunteers over 85 cm(male, 90 cm) in waist circumferences were recruited, and 10 electroacupuncture treatments were applied on their abdominal subcutaneous fat area for 4-5 weeks. We measured anthropometric factors, abdominal fat area with CT scanning, and the changes of free fatty acid in blood and catecholamine in urine before treatment and after the last treatment. Results : In this study, significant changes were shown in weight, waist circumference, waist/hip ratio, body mass index and body fat percent after the electroacupuncture therapy. There were also significant decreases of visceral fat area, visceral/subcutaneous fat area ratio in CT scanning. The blood level of free fatty acid and the urine level of catecholamine were increased after treatments, but the changes were not statistically significant. Conclusions : This study showed the efficacy of the electroacupuncture therapy on the abdominal fat deposit. But significant changes couldn't be found out in free fatty acid and catecholamine. Further studies that compensate for the limitations of this study are required to confirm the mechanism of the electroacupuncture efficacy.

허리 둔부 둘레비가 0.85이상인 여성을 복부 비만으로 측정하고 8주간 계속해서 50분씩 달리기를 시행하였다 5Km의 실외 달리기 트랙을 50분간 강약 조절로 달리게 하였고, 운동을 시행한 후 체성분 변화에 대한 결과를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 8주간 운동에 의해 변화된 총 cholesterol이 LDL-C과 양의 상관관계를 보였다. (P<0.001), 허리 둔부 둘레비(WHR)는 총 cholesterol과 triglyceride의 변화량과 양의 상관관계를 보였으며(P<0.05) 허리 둔부 둘레비는 혈청 지질의 수준에 영향을 주었다. 또한 운동에 의하여 BMI와 체지방량은 유의적인 감소를 하였고 혈청지질 중 triglyceride는 역시 유의적인 감소를 보였다. 따라서 운동은 복부비만 여성에게 혈청지질 농도를 변화시켜 고지혈증이나 성인병의 유발을 감소시킬 것으로 사료된다. 한편 HDL-C과 LDL-C은 유의적인 변화를 보이지 않았으므로 장기간 운동에 의한 신체의 영향을 지속적으로 연구하는 일이 요구된다고 할 수 있다. 운동전, 혈청지질 간의 상관관계에서 총 cholesterol은 triglyceride, LDL-C과 양의 상관관계를 보였으며 운동 후 변화량을 비교한 상관관계에서도 총 cholesterol과 LDL-C은 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 허리 둔부 둘레비도 총 cholesterol과 triglyceride에 유의적인 상관성을 보여 체지방량 감소에 의하여 체형이 변화될 수 있는 가능성을 시사하였다. 복부비만 여성을 대상으로 실시한 운동은 혈청지질 농도 개선에 전반적인 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으나 운동이 LDL-C과 HDL-C에 미치는 영향을 구체적으로 연구하기 위하여 좀 더 장기적인 연구가 지속되어야 하며, 앞으로 허리 둔부 둘레비와 심혈관 질환과의 상관성도 깊게 연구되어야 할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

The herb of Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum (Liliaceae) has been used as an edible wild herb and to treat heart failure and gastritis. We have already reported antihyperlipidemic anti-tumor effects of this plant. To enlarge the commercial availability of this food, it was investigated whether the extracts of A. victorialis var.platyphyllum reduce hyperlipidemia and obesity or not. The plants tested in this experiment were collected from two eco-types of IS. Ullung and Mt. Odae cultivated at Pyongchang. Extracts were prepared by extracting the fresh leaves and those dried at $36^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$, respectively. Pretreatment with the ethanolic extracts for two weeks (p.o.) reduced serum triglyceride-, total cholesterol- and LDL-cholesterol contents in rats induced by Triton WR-1339, respectively. Furthermore, oral administration of the extracts also inhibited the hyperlipidemia induced with oral diet of 30% corn oil. In the other attempt to find to alleviate the obesity, the model rats with obesity were induced by the high fat-diet for six weeks. Post-treatment with the extracts for two weeks significantly reduced the hyperlipidemia. Retroperitoneal-, epidymal- and total abdominal fat pad weights were considerably reduced at 100 mg/kg oral administration of the extracts. Increased feces lipid contents were also found in the rat treated with the extracts. The extract of Mt. Odae eco-type showed more potent activity than that of Is. Ullung one. These results suggest that use of the fresh leaves may lead to the higher activity in treatment of hyperlipidemia and obesity than of the dried one.

Objective This study investigated the effects of Jeoreongchajeonja-tang in a high-fat diet-induced obesity mouse model. Methods The study examined 9-week-old male mice (C57bl/6J) divided into four groups: the normal(C57bl/6J-Nr), control (high-fat diet only; HFD-CTL), positive-control (high-fat diet with Garcinia cambogia), and experimental (high-fat diet with Jeoreongchajeonja-tang; HFD-JCT) groups. After 7 weeks, the body weight, food efficiency ratio, organ weight, and visceral fat weight of the mice were measured. Blood serum tests, mRNA, liver histopathology, and epididymis adipocytes were also examined. Results Compared with the Control(HFD-CTL) group, the Experimental(HFD-JCT) group given Jeoreongchajeonja-tang showed significant reductions in absolute body weight and food efficiency ratio. The serum alanine aminotransferase, total-cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, insulin-like growth factor-1, and leptin levels were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group. The serum adiponectin levels were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significant reductions in absolute abdominal subcutaneous fat, epididymal adipose tissue, kidney adipose tissue, intestine adipose tissue, and liver, kidney and spleen adipose tissue weights. The C/EBP-${\beta}$, leptin, and SREBP1c/ADD1 mRNA expression were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group, while the UCP-2 and adiponectin mRNA expression were significantly higher. Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed a significant reduction in the absolute adipocyte area in the liver and epididymal adipose tissue. Conclusion Jeoreongchajeonja-tang has an anti-obesity effect. Additional clinical studies are expected.

Objectives: Obesity is a growing epidemic with subsequent health consequences leading not only to reduced quality of life but also to increased medical costs. Recently nutritional balances are emphasized in the field of obesity, and especially maintaining proper equilibriums of minerals. The correlation of minerals obtained from the method of HTMA(Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) with obese degree has not been studied in Korea yet. We studied any significant difference of mineral concentrations and components according to the obese degree. Methods: 78 subjects were analyzed who visited Garosero clinic of oriental medicine to lose their weight from June to November 2004. We used BMI(Body Mass Index), PBF(Percent Body Fat), WHR(Waist-Hip Ratio) and abdominal circumference obtained by bio-electrical impedance analysis as an obese degree. And we analyzed correlation with mineral concentrations and ratios obtained from HTMA. Results & Conclusion: 1. Na, K, Zn, Se had significant correlation with obese degree in case of nutritional minerals from HTMA. Especially, K had high significance. 2. Toxic minerals from HTMA had no significance with obese degree. 3. Rb had significant correlation with obese degree in case of additional minerals from HTMA. 4. Among important ratios from HTMA, Na/K had significant correlation with obese degree, but Ca/K had correlation except PBF, and Na/Mg had correlation except WHR. 5. Among toxic ratios from HTMA, Se/Hg had significant correlation with obese degree, but S/Hg had correlation except BMI. 6. Na, K, Zn, Rb, Na/K, Ca/K had significant differences between obesity groups classfied by BMI. Ob II group had sinificant difference from NW group in cases of K, Zn, Rb, Na/K, and Ob II group had sinificant difference from OW group in case of Ca/K.

Purpose: Obesity is a serious public health issue for the modern society and is considered a chronic health hazard. There are many surgical and pharmacological approaches to treat obesity. However, various potentially hazardous side effects remain the biggest challenge. Therefore, diets based on foods derived from natural products have gained increasing attention compared to anti-obesity drugs. Recently, research on edible insects as a food source has been a topic of considerable interest in the scientific communities. This study examined the anti-obesity effects of ingesting an edible insect by feeding a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mouse models with a diet containing Tenebrio molitor larvae powder (TMLP). Methods: Six-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were divided into 4 groups according to treatment: 100% normal diet (ND), 100% HFD (HFD), HFD 99% + TMLP 1% (TMLP), and HFD 97% + TMLP 3% (TMLP 3%). TMLP was added to the HFD for 6 weeks for the latter two groups. Results: Compared to the HFD group, mice in the TMLP group showed weight loss, and micro-computed tomographic imaging revealed that the volume of the adipose tissue in the abdominal area also showed significant reduction. After an autopsy, the fat weight was found to be significantly reduced in the TMLP group compared to the HFD group. In addition, the degree of fat cell deposition in the liver tissue and the size of the adipocytes significantly decreased in the TMLP group. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis for the mRNA expression of adipogenesis-related genes namely CCAAT-enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBP-β, C/EBP-δ), and fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) showed that the expression levels of these genes were significantly reduced in the TMLP group compared to the HFD group. Serum leptin level also decreased significantly in the TMLP group in the comparison with the HFD group. In addition, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and glucose levels in mouse serum also decreased in the TMLP group. Conclusion: Taken together, our results showed that TMLP effectively inhibited adipocyte growth and reduced body weight in obese mice.

본 연구에서는 고지방식이(HFD)를 급식하여 제조한 비만마우스 모델을 사용하여 berberine (BBR)과 silibinin (SBN) 복합투여가 혈중 지질대사 및 항비만 개선 효능에 유의적인 시너지 효과가 있는지 조사하였다. HFD로 유도된 비만마우스를 8 주 동안 HFD의 지속적인 제공와 함께 BBR 및 SBN (BBR-SBN) 조합을 투여하였다. 실험이 진행되는 동안 체중과 식이량을 측정하였고 혈중 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방 및 HDL 콜레스테롤 수준을 분석하였다. HFD를 제공한 마우스는 정상 대조군(NC) 그룹에 비해 체중과 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방 수치가 급격히 증가했다. 그러나 이러한 비만마우스에 BBR-SBN조합을 투여하였을 때 체중 증가가 현저하게 감소하였고 HDL 콜레스테롤 수치가 증가하였으며 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방 수치는 유의하게 억제되었다. HFD그룹의 복부지방 무게는 유의하게 증가했으며 부고환 지방조직 내의 지방세포의 크기가 NC 그룹에 비해 크게 확장된 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 BBR-SBN 그룹에서는 지방세포의 크기가 NC 그룹의 크기와 비슷했으며 복부지방 무게가 현저하게 감소하였다. 더불어, HFD 그룹에서 보이는 간 조직의 거대 소포성 지방구의 축적은 BBR-SBN 그룹에서 크게 감소되었다. 이러한 결과는 BBR-SBN 조합이 HFD 유발 비만마우스에서 체중 및 복부 지방 증가를 현저하게 감소시키는 경향이 있으며 혈청 내의 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방 수준을 낮추어 항비만 효능을 개선시킬 수 있는 가능성을 보여주는 것으로 앞으로 항비만 치료 및 개선제제로서의 잠재력을 가지고 있음을 시사한다.
