Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the detoxification effect of extract from soy-sprout grown using high concentrated oxygen water extract (SE) against alcohol-induced hangover in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The rats were orally administered with different concentrations of SE beverage [26, 260 and 2,000 ㎎/㎏ body weight (b.w.)] and, after 30 min, with alcohol at a dose of 3 g/㎏ b.w. After 1 and 3 h of alcohol administration, blood was collected from the retroorbital plexus, while after 5 h, blood was collected from the heart. In the 2,000 ㎎/㎏ b.w. SE group, the concentration of blood alcohol was significantly reduced after 1-5 h of alcohol loading as compared with that in the other groups. In addition, the blood acetaldehyde concentration was reduced by SE (2,000 ㎎/㎏ b.w.). These results suggest that SE beverage can alleviate alcohol hangover symptoms by stimulating the activities related to hepatic alcohol-metabolizing enzymes.
