Abstract

This study examined the effects of maternal calcium intake levels on mineral metabolism during pregnancy and lactation. Five week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed normal Ca (NCa, 0.5%) and low Ca (LCa, 0.15%) diets for 5 weeks during preconception. The low Ca intake group was divided into three groups and fed low Ca (0.15%), normal Ca (0.5%) and high Ca (1.5%) diets for 6 weeks during pregnancy and lactation. All of the rats were mated with normal male rats. The control group was consistently fed a normal Ca diet for 11 weeks. Pups were adjusted to 10 per dam. After weaning, dams and their weaned rats were sacrificed. We measured total protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase and mineral content in serum and weight, length, breaking force, ash and mineral content in bone and kidney. There was no significant difference in weight gain and food intake among the groups. Serum total protein and albumin were in the normal range but slightly decreased with a low Ca diet during preconception. Calcium supplementation above normal level increased bone weight, Ca content and breaking force in femur of maternal and their weaned rats. However, high maternal Ca intake significantly decreased Mg and Fe contents in maternal serum and bone and Mg and Zn contents in serum of weaned rats. Also, it induced Ca, P and Mg deposit in maternal kidney. Our experimental results suggest that Ca deficiency during preconception may deteriorate bone status of mother and their offsprings. Moreover, high Ca supplementation during pregnancy and lactation may lead to disturb mineral metabolism in bone and other tissues.

본 연구에서는 가임기 동안 저칼슘을 섭취한 흰쥐에게 임신기와 수유기에 걸쳐 장기간 칼슘보충수준을 달리했을 때, 어미쥐와 새끼쥐의 골격상태와 무기질 대사가 어떻게 변화하는 가를 알아보고, 가임기 동안의 칼슘부족 상태를 어느 정도 회복시킬 수 있는지를 검토하고자 하였다. 암컷 흰쥐를 이용하여 5주간의 비임신기간 동안 저칼슘을 섭취시킨 후 다시 세 군으로 나누어 고(high 1.5%), 중(normal 0.5%), 저(low 0.15%) 수준의 칼슘을 함유한 실험식이를 임신기와 수유기의 총 6주 동안 각각 급여하였다. 전 실험기간 동안 정상 칼슘 식이를 섭취한 군을 정상대조군으로 하였다. 임신전이나 임신, 수유기 동안 체중 및 식이섭취량은 식이 칼슘 수준에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 비임신기간 동안 저칼슘을 섭취한 모든 실험군에서 정상칼슘을 섭취한 군에 비해 어미쥐의 혈청 총 단백질 농도가 감소되었다. 그리고 비임신기간 동안 저칼슘 섭취에 의해 저하된 어미쥐의 골격상태는 임신, 수유기간 동안 정상수준 이상의 칼슘을 보충했을 때 정상수준에 가깝게 회복되었다. 그러나, 임신, 수유기간 동안 고수준의 칼슘보충은 어미쥐의 혈청에서 인, 마그네슘 및 철의 함량을, 대퇴골과 요추에서는 마그네슘의 함량을 유의적으로 저하시켰다. 반면, 신장에서는 칼슘, 인 및 마그네슘 함량을 높여서 무기질을 축적시켰다. 임신, 수유기 동안 어미쥐의 칼슘섭취 수준이 새끼쥐에 미친 영향을 보면, 어미쥐의 지속적인 저칼슘 식이 섭취가 새끼쥐의 대퇴골 회분량 및 칼슘, 인과 마그네슘 함량을 유의적으로 낮추었고, 고수준의 칼슘을 보충한 경우에는 새끼쥐의 혈청 마그네슘 농도와 아연 농도를 유의적으로 낮추었다. 이상의 결과에서 비임신기에 칼슘 섭취 부족은 모체의 골격 중량, 강도 및 회분함량을 저하시킬 뿐만 아니라 이러한 칼슘 섭취부족상태가 임신, 수유기까지 이어진다면 그 영향이 모체뿐만 아니라 그 자손에게까지 미칠 수 있음이 밝혀졌다. 한편 임신 전에 불충분한 칼슘을 섭취했다고 할 지라도 임신, 수유기간 동안 적절하게 칼슘을 보충하면 모체의 골격상태 및 무기질 함량은 회복될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 고칼슘의 보충은 혈청 단백질 농도뿐만 아니라 다른 무기질의 농도를 저하시켜 체내 무기질 불균형을 초래할 수 있으므로 임신, 수유기 동안 칼슘보충제의 적절한 섭취가 요구된다.
