Abstract

Effects of dietary cholesterol and/or taurine supplementation on plasma and hepatic lipid peroxidation status and antioxidant enzyme activities were evaluated in rats fed one of the following semisynthetic diets for 5 weeks: control diet (CD, cholesterol-free and taurine-free diet); high cholesterol diet (HCD, CD+1.5% cholesterol): high taurine diet (HTD, CD+1.5% taurine): high cholesterol and high taurine diet (HCHTD, HCD + 1.5% taurine). Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) level was not influenced by dietary cholesterol or taurine supplementation, while hepatic MDA level was 70% higher in rats fed HCD compared to the value for CD rats (p<0.05). Our observation that taurine supplementation significantly decreased the hepatic MDA level of rats fed HCD, but failed to decrease lipid peroxidation of rats fed CD indicates that the protective effect of taurine in the liver against lipid peroxidation is manifested only under the hypercholesterolemic environment. Plasma and hepatic glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were not affected by dietary supplementation of cholesterol or taurine. However, hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was significantly reduced by dietary taurine supplementation (p <0.05), and thus significantly lower in rats fed HTD compared to the value for CD (p<0.05). Plasma total cholesterol concentration was positively correlated with hepatic cholesterol concentration as expected (r=0.712, p<0.001). Plasma (r=0.399, p<0.05) and hepatic cholesterol levels (r=0.429, p<0.05) showed a significantly positive correlation with hepatic MDA concentration, respectively. Plasma taurine concentration was negatively correlated with hepatic SOD activity (r=-0.481, p<0.01), and tended to be negatively correlated with hepatic GSH-Px activity without showing statistical significance (r=-0.188, p<0.05). These results indicate an antioxidative effect of taurine in rats with elevated level of lipid Peroxidation due to high intake of dietary cholesterol. Future application of taurine as a safe candidate for a hypolipidemic agent without adversely affecting body's antioxidant defense system is speculated.

본 논문은 타우린 및 콜레스테롤이 체내 항산화체계 및 지질과산화물농도에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 흰쥐를 대상으로 콜레스테롤(1.5%) 및 타우린(1.5%)이 첨가된 식이로 5주간 사육하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫 번째로 혈장의 MDA 농도는 콜레스테롤 또는 타우린 첨가에 의해 유의한 영향을 받지 않은 반면, 간조직의 MDA 농도는 HCD군에서 CD군에 비해 70% 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 고콜레스테롤식이에 타우린을 첨가해 준 결과 간조직의 지질과산화물 농도가 HCD군에 비해 유의하게 감소한 반면(p<0.05),콜레스테롤을 섭취하지 않는 상태에서 타우린을 첨가한 HTD군의 경우에는 간조직 MDA 농도가 대조군(CD)과 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않아 식이내 타우린 첨가가 간의 지질과산화물 농도에 미치는 영향은 콜레스테롤 섭취수준에 의해 그 결과가 상이하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 두 번째, 혈장 및 간조직 의 GSH-Px 활성 은 식이내 콜레스테롤 및 타우린 첨가에 의해 유의한 영향을 받지 않았다. 간조직의 총SOD활성은 타우린 첨가에 의해 감소되었으며 (p<0.05), HTD군에서 CD군에 비해 유의하게 감소하였고 (p<0.05), HCHTD군의 경우에는 HCD군에 비해 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 통계적 유의성은 나타나지 않았다. 세 번째, 혈장 및 간조직의 지질과산화물농도, 항산화효소 활성, 콜레스테롤 및 타우린농도와의 상관관계를 평가한 결과, 혈장 총콜레스테롤농도는 간조직의 콜레스테롤농도와 매우 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.712 p<0.001). 혈장(r=0.399, p < 0.05) 또는 간조직의 콜레스테롤농도(r=0.429, p <0.05)는 간조직의 MDA농도와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 혈장 타우린농도는 간조직의 GSH-Px 활성과는 유의하지는 않지만 음의 상관관계(r=-0.188, p > 0.05)를, 그리고 간조직의 SOD활성과는 유의적인 음의 상관관계(r=-0.481,p < 0.01)를 나타냈다. 한편, 간조직의 총 SOD 활성은 간조직의 GSH-Px 활성과 유의한 양의 상관관계 (r=0.554, p<0.001)를 나타내, 두가지 항산화효소의 활성이 서로 밀접하게 연관되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 콜레스테롤이 산화촉진제로 작용하여 조직의 지질과산화가 촉진된 상황에서 타우린의 보충섭취가 간조직의 SOD 활성을 감소시키고 MDA 수준을 유의하게 감소시킨 본 연구의 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 산화적 손상을 초래하지 않는 안전한 혈중 지질저하제로서 타우린의 이용 가능성이 전망된다.
