Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of green vegetable (kale) juice powder supple-mentation on lipid profiles, plasma homocysteine, folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ in rats fed cholesterol (Chol. ) or Chol. free diet. 7-week old male Sprague Dawley rats (n=40) were divided into 4 groups, and experimental diets containing control diet group (CO), control diet plus 0.5 wt$ \% $ Chol. (CC), control diet added with 5 wt$ \% $ kale (KO), control diet added with 5 wt$ \% $ kale plus 0.5 wt$ \% $ Chol. (KC) were fed for 8 wks. Plasma homocysteine level was examined by amino acid analyzer and serum folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ level were measured by com-petitive radioimmunoassay methods. In various serum lipid profiles, TG level was lower in kale juice powder groups (KO, KC) compared to the corresponding groups (CO, CC) (p<0.001). In Chol. supplemented groups (CC, KC), HDL-Chol. level was lower (p<0.001) and LDL-Chol. level was higher (p<0.05) than Chol. free diet. HDL-Chol. level was higer (p<0.05) in kale juice powder groups. HDL/LDL ratio was lower in Chol. supplemented groups (CC, KC) and tended to be higher in kale juice powder groups (KO, KC) Serum folate and vitamin $B_{12}$ levels were not affected by dietary Chol. and kale juice powder supplementation. Plasma homocysteine level was not affected by dietary Chol. and kale juice powder supplementation, too. Serum folate level was positively correlated with serum vitamin $B_{12}$ level (r=0.5632, p<0.001), but plasma homocysteine level was not significantly correlated with any serum folate, vitamin $B_{12}$ and Chol. levels, respectively. In summary, kale juice powder supplementation have improved serum lipid profiles by increasing the HDL level and decreasing the TG level and have not altered homocysteine level under the sufficient supply of folate and vitamin B complex relating with the homocysteine metabolism.

녹즙분말과 콜레스테롤 첨가식이로 8주간 사육한 흰쥐의 혈중 지질, 호모시스테인 및 엽산수준에 미치는 효과를 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 흰쥐의 혈중 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 녹즙이나 콜레스테롤 보충에 의해 유의한 영향을 받지 않았으나 중성지질 농도는 녹즙군에서 낮았다(p<0.001). HDL-콜레스테롤과 LDL-콜레스테롤의 경우, 식이 콜레스테롤의 영향을 받아, HDL-콜레스테롤은 콜레스테롤군보다 무콜레스테롤군에서 높았으며 (p<0.001), LDL-콜레스테롤은 콜레스테롤군에서 높았다(p<0.05). HDL-콜레스테롤 수준은 녹즙군에서 높았으며 (p<0.05), LDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 콜레스테롤과 케일의 상호효과가 나타나 무콜레스테롤군에서 만 녹즙에 의한 감소효과를 보였다 HDL/LDL비율은 콜레스테롤 보충군에서 낮았으며 (p<0.05), 녹즙보충군에서 높았으나 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 나타내지 못하였다. 혈청 엽산, 비타민 $B_{12}$ 및 혈장 호모시스테인 농도는 녹즙분말이나 콜레스테롤 보충에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. 혈중 엽산과 비타민 $B_{12}$ 농도사이에는 유의한 양의 상관성 (r=0.5632, p<0.001)이 관찰되었으나, 혈중 호모시스테인 농도는 혈중 엽산, 비타민 $B_{12}$ 및 콜레스테롤 농도 사이에는 모두 유의한 상관성이 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구결과를 종합하여 보면, 엽산이 충분히 공급되는 경우, 녹즙보충시 나타나게 되는 심혈관계질환 예방효과는, HDL 농도의 증가 및 중성지방 농도의 감소에 의한 것이며, 녹즙내 엽산보충에 의한 호모시스테인 농도 변화와는 관련이 적은 것으로 사료된다.
