Excessive ethanol intake is known to induce a number of physiological symptoms, including headache, dizziness and vertigo. In this study, we investigated the attenuation effect of sprouted peanut extract (SPE) on ethanol-induced hangover in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided into five groups: the control group, which was administered ethanol only; the ethanol plus SPE experimental groups, which were administered ethanol and 100, 200, or 400 mg SPE/kg b.w.; and the positive control group, which was administered ethanol plus DAWN808$^{(R)}$, a commercial product. SPE-suspended water was delivered to rats via gavage 15 h and 30 min before the administration of ethanol. Blood was collected from the tail 0, 1, 3, and 5 h after ethanol administration. The results showed that serum ethanol concentrations were significantly lower in SPE treated groups than in the control group. Furthermore, hepatic alcohol and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activities were enhanced by SPE in a dose dependent manner. These results suggest that SPE could be useful in attenuating hangover after alcohol consumption.

땅콩의 육종년한을 단축하기 위한 세대촉진 방법을 정립하고자 포장후건에서 신대광땅콩 및 남대땅콩을 재배하고, 자방병이 지하로 침투한 후부터 80일까지 10일 간격으로 꼬투리와 종실을 재취하여 그 크기와 무게, 수분함량의 변화를 추적하는 동시에 종실의 발아율과 발아한 유묘의 활력을 조사한 결과, 자방병이 지하로 침투한 후 30∼40일에 꼬투리와 종실의 크기가 완성되었고, 이 때에 수확한 종실은 100％ 발아력을 갖추며 발아 후 활력있는 유묘를 생산할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
