Abstract

시험은 사료내 필수아미노산 결핍이 rat의 사료섭취량과 혈액 및 뇌내 전이상엽피질(PPC)의 유리아미노산 농도 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 뇌내 섭식조절 메카니즘을 구명하고자 하였다. 시험에 이용된 모든 사료의 질소원은 순수 아미노산 혼합물을 이용하였으며, 질소수준은 15%로 하였다. 사료는 하루 6시간 동안 섭취하도록 훈련을 시켰으며(17:00-21:00, meal feeding method), 사료섭취량과 증체량은 사료급여 7일째부터 매시간 측정하였다. 실험 1에서 사료섭취량과 증체량을 사료급여 후 매시간 측정하였으며, 혈액 및 PPC의 아미노산 농도는 사료급여 11일째의 0, 1, 2, 3, 6시간 후에 관찰하였다. 실험 2에서는 complete diet에서 11일째에 lysine 결핍사료로 교체하여 사료섭취량, 증체량 및 혈액 및 PPC의 아미노산 농도는 실험 1과 동일하게 측정하였다. 실험 1에서 complete diet 급여에 따른 사료섭취량은 7일째부터 일일섭취량(15g/day)을 충족하였다. 또한 11일째의 혈액 및 뇌의 유리 아미노산 농도는 사료급여 한시간 후에 증가하였으나, 그 후에는 일정한 수준을 유지하였다. 반면, 실험 2에서는 complete diet에서 lysine 결핍사료로 교체함에 따른 사료섭취량은 급격하게 감소하였고(P<TEX>$<$</TEX>0.05), 혈액 및 PPC의 유리 lysine 농도는 lysine 결핍사료 급여 2시간 후에 유의적(p<TEX>$<$</TEX>0.05)으로 감소하였으며, 누적 사료섭취량은 사료급여 4시간째 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<TEX>$<$</TEX>0.05). 따라서 이상의 결과로 보아 아미노산 결핍사료 섭취에 따른 혈액과 PPC의 해당 아미노산의 농도 감소는 사료섭취량의 감소에 비하여 빠르게 반응하였고, 이러한 결과로 미루어 사료중 아미노산 결핍에 반응하는 부위의 일부분으로 뇌내 PPC가 직접적인 관여를 한다고 판단된다. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of deficiency of essential amino acid in diet on feed intake and concentrations of free amino acid in plasma and brain(prepyriform cortex, PPC), and thereby to know the brain area engaged in the mechanism of feed intake regulation. In all trials, experimental diets were formulated with pure amino acid mixture to level of 15% nitrogen. Rats were trained to eat a single meal for 6 hours daily(meal feeding, 17:00-21:00). Feed intake and body weight were measured hourly on and after 7th day of feeding. In Exp. 1, feed intake and body weight were measured every hour, and the free amino acid concentrations of plasma and PPC were analysed at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 6 h on the 11th day of feeding. In Exp. 2, the complete diet was replaced with lysine devoid diet at the 11th day, and feed intake, body weight and free amino acid concentrations in plasma and PPC were samely measured on Exp. 1. In Exp. 1, feed intake on complete diet was self-sufficiented to daily feed intake level(15g/day) from the 7th day. Free amino acid concentrations of plasma and PPC at the 11th day were plateau at 1 hour after feeding. In Exp. 2, feed intake was quickly reduced by the diet replacement(P<TEX>$<$</TEX>0.05), and the free lysine concentration of plasma and PPC was also significantly decreased at 2 hour after feeding. However, cumulative feed intake was significantly decreased at 4 hour after feeding. These results may indicate that the concentrations of free lysine in plasma and PPC, under the condition of devoided lysine in diet, were more quickly droped than the reduction of feed intake rate. Hence, it is expected that PPC in brain might be a part of response area for limited amino acid.
