Abstract

각 체질별(태음인, 소양인, 소음인)로 5명씩 혈액을 채취하여 임파구를 분리한 후 백삼 및 홍삼 에탄을 추출물을 투여하여 면역효능(proliferation, NO생성 및 TNF-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX>의 분비능)을 측정한 결과, 한방에서 음인을 보하는 약재로 알려진 백삼의 경우 소음인 군의 임파구에서 가장 높은 임파구 증식능, NO 생성 및 TNF-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX>의 분비능을 나타냈으나, 소양인군에서는 가장 낮은 면역활성을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 그러나 홍삼 추출물의 경우 각 체질군에서 면역활성의 차이가 없이 유사한 것으로 나타났다(P > 0.05). 또한, 체질별 임파구에 LPS처리한 대조군보다 백삼 및 홍삼 추출물을 첨가한 처리군에서 NO생성 및 TNF-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX>의 분비능이 현저하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05).백삼과 달리 홍삼 추출물에서 각 체질군에 면역활성의 차이가 없는 것은 인삼의 가공처리 과정에서 성분변화의 차이에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구 결과, 홍삼추출물로부터 체질에 영향을 미치지 않는 성분을 규명한다면 새로운 맞춤형 체질마커로 개발할 수 있으리라 사료된다. The effects of white ginseng and red ginseng ethanol extracts on the proliferation, nitric oxide (NO) production and tumor necrosis factor-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX> (TNF-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX>) in human Band T lymphocytes isolated from blood cell of sasang constitution were examined in vitro. White ginseng extract known as medicine suitable for soeumin constitution showed the highest immune activities such as proliferation, NO production and TNF-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX> in soeumin constitution, and followed by taeeumin and soyangin, respectively (P<0.05). However, there were immunologically insignificant differences among sasang constitution lymphocytes treated by red ginseng ethanol extract. Both white and red ginseng ethanol extracts showed significantly higher immunological activities than LPS-induced sasang constitution lymphocytes on NO production and TNF-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX> release (P<0.05). The different immunological activities of white and red ginseng extracts in sasang constitution lymphocytes might be due to the component changes during the processing of ginseng. Thus, the findings of components suitable for all constitutions from red ginseng extract could be applied as a new constitution marker.
