돼지감자의 이눌린, 연잎분말, 허브의 쐐기풀분말과 유칼립투스 잎의 분말 중 다이어트 예비실험에서 4가지 모두 병합 급여한 것이 가장 효과적으로 나타나 이들의 병합급여가 다이어트에 얼마나 효과적인가를 조사하였다. 200 g 전후의 Sprague-Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐를 고지방식이로 8주간 사육하여 비만을 유도한 후, 병합다이어트식이 급여로 4주간 급여하여 다이어트효과를 보았다. 총 12주 사육 후 체중, 혈액 그리고 간의 체내 지질대사와 관련된 인자들 조사하고 간의 조직학적 변화를 광학 현미경으로 보았다. Sprague-Dawley 계 수컷 흰쥐의 8주 동안의 체중 변화량은 정상군에 비교하여 고지방식이로 인하여 고지방식이군과 다이어트식이군은 증가하였고 그 후 4주 동안의 체중 변화량은 정상군과 고지방식이군은 계속 증가한데에 비해 병합다이어트식이군은 8주간 고지방식이로 유도한 후 다이어트 식이 급여 3주 후에 정상군의 체중 정도로 감소되었으며, 4주 후에는 정상군보다 체중이 유의적으로 감소하였으며 식이효율도 유의적으로 떨어졌다. 혈액의 생화학적 분석 결과에서 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, 혈당, 중성지방, GOT, GPT, ${\gamma}-GTP$과 creatine은 고지방식이군에서 유의적 증가를 나타내었고 다이어트식이군은 정상군과 비교하여 GPT, ${\gamma}-GTP$과 creatine를 제외하고 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 간장의 생화학적 분석 결과에서도 고지방식이군의 지질 함량은 정상식이군에 비하여 LDL-콜레스테롤과 중성지방은 유의적으로 증가하고, 총콜레스테롤, HDL-콜레스테롤은 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 다이어트식이군에서는 정상군과 비교하여 HDL-콜레스테롤은 증가하고 총 콜레스테롤은 유의적으로 떨어지고 LDL-콜레스테롤과 중성지방의 경우 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 또한 광학현미경을 통하여 간의 조직학적 변화와 미세구조 변화를 관찰한 결과 고지방식이군에서는 간세포들의 체적증가와 간정맥 주변부 간세포들의 심한 지방변성이 관찰되었다. 그러나 다이어트식이군은 정상군과 마찬가지로 병합식이를 통해 간 조직은 간세포에서 세포질이나 세포핵 및 동양모세혈관등에 병리학적인 변화가 관찰되지 않았으며 간세포대의 배열도 규칙적이었다. 따라서 돼지감자의 이눌린, 연잎분말, 허브의 쐐기풀분말 및 유칼립투스 잎의 분말을 사용한 병합다이어트식이 급여가 비정상적인 지방 축적으로 인한 비만을 효과적으로 예방하고 개선할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The effects of water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower on serum lipid concentrations were evaluated in rats. Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing l00±l0 g were divided into six groups and fed high fat diets for six weeks. Experimental groups were administered with following diets; Control diet, animal, plant high fat diet and control and high fat diets with 2% water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower. Tissue weights of liver, lung, stomach, heart, kidney and spleen of high fat diet exposed rats were reduced by water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower groups. The concentrations of serum triglyceride in rats fed the water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower were lower than those in other groups. The concentrations of total cholesterol in water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower group were lower than those in high fat diet groups. The concentrations of HDL-cholesterol in serum of the water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower groups were significantly higher than those of other groups. The levels of LDL-cholesterol in serum of the water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower groups were tended to be lower than those of other groups. GPT and GOT activities were decreased in water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower groups and than in the high fat group. LDH activity was lower in the water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower groups than in the high fat group. These results suggest that water extracts of green tea scented with lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner flower groups may reduce elevated levels of serum lipid concentrations in rats fed high fat diets.

고지방식이로 고지혈 및 비만이 유도된 흰쥐에서 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물 투여로 인한 혈 중 지질대사 개선 및 지방조직의 항비만효과에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 5주령 된 흰쥐 수컷 36마리를 1주일간 적응시킨 후 정상 식이군(ND), 고지방식이군(HFD), 정상식이와 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물 저용량 병합 투여군(ND-BSL), 정상식이와 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물 고용량 병합 투여군(ND-BSH), 고지방식이와 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물 저용량 병합 투여군(HFD-BSL) 및 고지방식이와 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물 고용량 병합 투여군(HFD-BSH)으로 나누어 4주간 사육하였다. 고지방식이로 증가되어진 체중증가량은 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물 고용량 병합 투여로 유의하게 감소되었으며, 정상식이군(ND)과는 비슷한 수준으로 저하되었다. 고지방 식이군들(HFD, HFD-BSL 및 HFD-BSH)이 정상식이군들 (ND, ND-BSL 및 ND-BSH)에 비하여 식이섭취량은 낮았으나, 식이효율은 높게 나타났다. 간조직의 무게는 실험 군간에 유의차가 없었으나, 부고환 및 장간막지방조직의 무게는 고지방식이를 급여한 흰쥐에게 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물을 고용량 병합 투여한 경우에는 고지방식이에 비하여 유의하게 저하되었다. 고지방식이로 증가되어진 혈청 중의 ALT 및 AST 활성, 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤 및 LDL-콜레스테롤 함량, 심혈관위험지수와 동맥경화지수도 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물 고용량 병합 투여로 감소되었다. 혈청 중의 ALP 활성은 실험 군 간에 유의차가 없었다. 혈청 중의 HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 정상식이군(ND)에 비하여 고지방식이군(HFD)이 유의하게 감소하였으나, 정상식이 혹은 고지방식이를 급여한 흰쥐에게 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물을 투여하였을 경우에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 고지방식이로 증가되어진 간조직과 장간막지방조직 중의 총콜레스테롤 함량은 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물 병합 투여로 저하되었다. 지방조직 중의 HR-LPL과 TE-LPL 활성 모두 정상식이군 (ND)에 비하여 고지방식이군(HFD)이 증가하였고, 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물 고용량 병합 투여한 모든 군은 고지방 식이군(HFD)에 비하여 유의하게 감소되었으나 정상식이군 (ND)과는 비슷한 활성을 나타내었다. 특히 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물의 효과는 고용량 병합 투여군이 저용량 병합투여군에 비하여 더 좋은 효과를 나타내었다. 혈청 및 조직 중의 지질 함량 변화는 정상식이군들(ND, ND-BSL 및 ND-BSH) 간에는 유의차가 없었다. 따라서 고지방식이를 급여하면서 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물을 병합 투여 시에만 효과가 있는 것으로 여겨진다. 이상의 결과 브로콜리 싹 에탄올 추출물이 체중 및 지방조직의 무게 감소와 더불어 혈청지질 개선 효과와 LPL 활성을 저하시켜 고지혈증 예방효과와 지방축적 억제 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되나 브로콜리 싹 추출물의 어떤 성분이 콜레스테롤 저하효과 및 비만을 억제시킬 수 있는지는 보다 자세한 연구가 요구된다.

In this study, we investigated the effects of silybin on body weight and glucose tolerance in mice fed high fat diet mice. We found that body weight, plasma TG contents, fat size, glycerol, 3-hydroxybutyrate and total cholesterol were significantly decreased in silybin (500 mg/kg) supplemented groups compared to high fat diet group. Whereas, total food intake was not changed between high fat diet group and high fat diet plus silybin group. Futhermore, supplement of high fat elevated the glucose intolerance and was improved in silybin supplement group. Finally, we examined the effect of silybin on circulating adipocytokine level to explore the possible mechanism by which silybin improves high fat diet-induced obesity and diabetes. The silybin supplement significantly reduced the level of adipocytokine, such as leptin, resistin, IL-6, and MCP-1 induced by high fat diet. These results suggest that silybin can be used to improve obesity and diabetes.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of ethanolic extract of Ulmus davidiana root (UE) on lipid metabolism in mice fed a high-fat diet (HF) for 7 weeks. Forty male ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups; normal diet group (N), high-fat diet group (HF), HF with 0.5% UE (HF-L) and 1% UE (HF-H) group. Body weight, body weight gain, and liver weight in the HF group was significantly higher than in the N group, while those of the HF-L and HF-H group were unchanged. UE improved HF-induced dyslipidemia by reducing serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, and the atherogenic index. There was no difference in serum HDL-cholesterol among experimental groups. However, the HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio was significantly increased in the HF-L and HF-H group. Histological analysis showed that HF-fed mice developed hepatocellular microvesicular vacuolation as a result of fat accumulation. These changes were attenuated by 1% UE supplementation. In addition, hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol levels in the HF-H group significantly reduced. Taken together, these results demonstrated that lipid levels in the blood and liver were reduced by UE, suggesting that it might be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia and fatty liver.

This study was designed to investigate the antihyperlipidemic activity of aqueous extracts of Kyeongokgo (KOG), Kyeongokgo Dansambang (KDB), and Kyeongokgo Gamibang (KGB) on the hyperlipidemic rats induced by high-fat diet. The animals were divided into 4 groups of the hyperlipidemic control group, the KOG-fed group, the KDB-fed group and the KGB-fed group, and received oral administration of each prescription with diet for a period of six weeks. The changes in the body weight, the amount of food intake, the liver weight, the epididymal fat weight, and the plasma levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were measured. In all experimental groups, the weight of liver and epididymal fat decreased significantly. There was a significant decrease in the amount of food intake, the weight of liver and epididymal fat, the plasma level of total cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol in the KDB-fed and the KGB-fed groups. In addition, KGB-fed group represented a significant decrease in the triglyceride. These results suggest that the aqueous extracts of Kyeongokgo Dansambang and Kyeongokgo Gamibang have a good antihyperlipidemic activity and a potential to treat hyperlipidemia.
