The term "hangover" refers to symptoms such as headache, heartburn, nausea, and dizziness caused by acetaldehyde created through alcohol decomposition in the body after alcohol intake. Many scientists have conducted research on diverse drugs, foods, and medicinal herbs aimed at eliminating hangovers. However, research on metabolism to objectively verify or measure their effects on hangover symptoms has been lacking. Accordingly, in this study, deep sea water minerals were administered orally at varying concentrations to rats that consumed alcohol, and changes in the levels of amino acids in their bodies were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to gauge the minerals' effects on hangover symptoms. Thus far, biochemical research on hangover cures has been confined to basic research measuring changes in the levels of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase as well as in the concentrations of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and acetate using spectroscopes such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits or gas chromatography-mass spectrometers. In comparison, this study presents pharmacokinetic research that simultaneously tracked biomaterials including amino acids and organic acids, metabolites associated with hangover, to clarify hangover mechanisms more specifically. In addition, this study examined hangover mechanisms without an external supply of tracked materials not overlapping with alcohol metabolism-related materials, such as external amino acids and sugars.

본 연구는 알코올 분해 및 간 손상 보호, 피로회복, 체력증진 등의 효과가 있는 헛개과병추출물과 인삼열매 복합추출물의 섭취가 숙취해소에 미치는 효과를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 20세 이상 자발적으로 참여한 64명을 대상으로 무작위배정과 반복측정설계방법을 이용하여 블록무작위배정을 통해 집단 별 인원을 구성하였다. 집단 구성은 헛개과 병추출물+인삼열매 복합추출물(ARI 1000) 투여군, 헛개과병추출물투여군, 인삼열매추출물 투여군, 위약군을 각각 16명을 구성하였다. 호흡기알콜농도 변화결과 ARI 1000 투여군이 음주 1시간에서 헛개과병추출물투여군, 인삼열매추출물 투여군, 위약군에 비해 유의하게 낮았으며, 음주 2시간, 3시간에는 위약군에 비해 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 혈중 알코올 농도결과 음주 2시간, 3시간 후에 ARI 1000 투여군이 헛개과병추출물투여군, 인삼열매추출물 투여군, 위약군에 비해 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 음주 전 ARI 1000 섭취는 호흡기와 혈중 알코올 농도를 유의하게 감소시켜 숙취효과에 효능이 있는 것으로 생각된다.
