Abstract

Soybean (SoyPep) was prepared and evaluated their action on blood lipid profiles, select biochemical indexes and histopathological changes in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Male SHRs were divided into three groups and fed the experimental diet containing 0% (control), 3%, 10% SoyPep for 8 weeks. Lipids, antioxidative vitamin levels, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) activities in plasma were measured, and angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) activities in kidney, vascular tissue and plasma were also measured. In addition, histopathological changes in various organs were investigated. Dietary SoyPep was effective for lowering plasma levels of triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol. ACE activities in aorta and kidney were decreased in the group fed SoyPep compared to control. There was no difference of plasma GOT and GPT activities, and no histopathological difference in various organs among the experimental groups. Our results suggest that SoyPep has beneficial effects on diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. SoyPep could be useful to develop a novel functional safe food additive for preventing the chronic diseases.

대두가수분해물 분무건조 펩타이드(SoyPep)가 자발성고혈압 횐쥐(spontaneously hypertensive rat, SHR)의 혈중지질수준, 생화학적지표 및 조직병리학적 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. SHR을 무작위로 대조군, 3% SoyPep 투여군, 10% SoyPep 투여군으로 구분하여 8주동안 실험사육하였다. 혈중지질 및 항산화성 비타민 수준, GOT 및 GPT활성을 측정하였고, 신장, 혈관조직, 혈장중 ACE 활성을 측정하였다. 또한, 각 주요장기의 조직병리학적 변화를 검토하였다. 식이 SoyPep은 SHR의 혈중 중성지질, 총콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤을 저하시키며, 또한, ACE저해활성 및 혈중 지질 수준의 개선작용을 나타내는 것이 확인되었다. 이들 결과로 보아, 대두 펩타이드는 혈중 지질수준의 증가를 수반하는 질병의 예방을 위한 새로운 기능성 식품소재로서의 활용가치가 매우 높을 것으로 기대된다.
