Abstract
마늘과 한약재(결명자, 하수오, 영지 및 산사육) 복합물의 항산화능과 콜레스테롤을 급이한 흰쥐에 이를 급이하였을 때 간장 조직 중 지질 함량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 한약재의 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 151.02 mg/100 g 및 43.69 mg/g으로 결명자에서 가장 높았다. 마늘과 한약재 복합물의 전자공여능, 환원력 및 hydroxyl radical 소거능은 마늘 추출물 첨가량이 0.3% 이상일 때 첨가량에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보였다. <TEX>$\beta$</TEX>-carotene 존재 시 linoleic acid에 대한 항산화능은 마늘 추출물의 첨가량에 의존적으로 증가되었다. 콜레스테롤을 급이한 흰쥐에 마늘과 한약재 복합물을 급이하였을 때 총 지질의 함량은 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었으며, 마늘추출물의 0.7%첨가군(G-0.7%)에서 가장 낮았다. 총 콜레스테롤은 대조군에서는 14.95 mg/g이었는데, 마늘과 한약재 복합물 급이 후 11.47~11.86 mg/g으로 대조군에 비해 감소되었다. 중성지방은 마늘 추출물의 0.7% 첨가군에서 46.42 mg/g으로 0.3% 및 0.5%의 마늘 추출물 급이군에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 함량이었다. 마늘과 한약재 복합물 급이군에서 TBARS함량은 0.5~0.7%의 마늘 추출물 급이시 대조군에 비해 약 15.8~17.6% 감소되었다. 항산화능은 마늘 추출물을 0.5% 이상 첨가한 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. 본 실험결과로 볼 때 마늘과 한약재 복합물의 급이는 콜레스테롤급이 흰쥐의 간장조직의 지질 축적 저하에 효과적이라고 생각되어진다. The effects of combined garlic and medicinal plant extracts such as Gyeolmyeongja (Cassia obtusifolia Linne), Hasuo (Polygoni multiflori Radix), Youngji (Ganoderma lucium) and Sansayuk (Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge) on the antioxidant activity and lipid levels in the livers of rats fed a high cholesterol diet were analyzed. Total phenol and flavonoid contents were the highest in the Gyeolmyeongja by <TEX>$151.02{\pm}5.20\;mg$</TEX>/100 g and <TEX>$43.69{\pm}5.58\;mg$</TEX>/100 g. Electron donating ability, reducing power and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity were significantly increased when over 0.3% garlic extract was added. The antioxidant activity of linoleic acid in <TEX>$\beta$</TEX>- carotene increased in a dose dependant manner in response to the concentration of garlic extract. In livers of rats, the content of total lipids was significantly decreased by feeding garlic and medicinal plants composites; in particular, the group in which 0.7% garlic extract was added was the lowest. Total cholesterol was 14.95 mg/g in the control group; its level was lower in the groups fed garlic and medicinal plants composites, ranging from 11.47 to 11.86 mg/g. Triglyceride concentration was significantly decreased in the group fed 0.7% garlic extracts, with 46.42 mg/g compared to groups fed 0.3% and 0.5%. TBARS content showed a 15.8~17.6% decrease in groups fed 0.5~0.7% garlic extract and medicinal plants composites. Antioxidant activity was significantly increased in groups fed over 0.5% garlic extract compared to the control group. This study shows that garlic and medicinal plant composites intake is able to reduce the levels of liver lipids in hypercholesterolemic rats.
