Abstract

In the present work antidotal effect of dietary garlic was studied on lead-intoxicated rat. One of 5 groups of young Wistar sp. male rat, aged 4 weeks for control were fed only normal diet. Lead (25 ㎎/㎏.bw/week) was administered to other four groups for plumbism model over 4 weeks, of which three groups were supplemented with one of the following raw garlic juice: 1.10 (1% diet), 2.21 (2%) and 3.31 (3%) ㎎/㎏.bw/day respectively. Body weight gain rates in all garlic group significantly increased, especially in 2% garlic group that showed 9.8% net gain, as compared with only-lead treated group but lower values than control. The fecal and urinary lead excretion in all garlic groups significantly increased in a dose dependent fashion with highest value of 9.59% net gain in 3% garlic group as compared to lead treated control group. In comparison with lead treated control group, all garlic groups showed significantly increased hemoglobin contents, hematocrit values (Hct), red blood cell (RBC) count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and δ-amino levulinic acid dehydratase (δ-ALAD) activities. The values of 2% and 3% garlic groups remarkably increased while no significant difference between the values of 2% and 3% garlic groups was observed. The ALT activities, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (CR) in all garlic groups significantly decreased as compared with lead-treated control group. The values of 2% garlic group were the lowest and significantly different from the values of 1% and 3% garlic groups. The results showed that 2%-3% garlic juice in diet had obviously antidotal effects in lead-poisoned rats by promoting lead excretion. However, mega dose garlic such as in 3% garlic group might have some adverse effects on hepatic and renal functions in rats. In conclusion, the dietary habit to take ordinary garlic sauce in appropriate amount, may be helpful for preventing lead or other heavy metal intoxication.

마늘의 납중독 해독 효과를 조사하기 위해 젊은 흰쥐를 사육한 4주간 실험에서 초산납 용액을 주 1회 투여(총 Pb 100㎎/㎏)와 함께 생마늘 즙을 사료 섭취량의 1%, 2%, 3%수준으로 매일 투여한 실험군들의 체중 증가율이 납 단독 투여군보다 유의적으로 증가하고 그중 마늘 즙 2% 투여군이 가장 높은 9.8%의 순(net) 체중 증가를 보였으나 대조군보다는 낮은 수준이었다. 납 용액과 함께 마늘 즙을 투여한 실험군들에서 요와 변을 통한 납 배설량이 납 단독 투여군의 납 배설량보다 유의적, 용량 의존적으로 증가되었고 그 중 마늘 3%군이 가장 높은 9.59%의 납 배설율 순(net) 증가를 보였다. 납 용액과 함께 마늘 즙을 투여한 실험군들의 Hb함량, Hct값, RBC count, MCV값, δ-ALAD활성이 납 단독 투여군보다 유의적으로 증가되었고 그 중 마늘 즙 2%와 3%군의 값들이 거의 같은 수준으로 현저히 증가되었다. 납 단독 투여군과 비교한 납용액과 함께 마늘 즙을 투여한 실험군들의 ALT활성과 BUN 및 CR값은 유의적으로 감소되었고 그 중 마늘 즙 2%투여군의 값들이 마늘 즙 1% 및 3% 투여군의 값과 유의차를 가지고 현저히 가장 낮았다. 그 결과 사료의 2%-3%수준의 마늘 즙 투여가 납중독 흰쥐에서 납 배설 촉진으로 분명한 해독효과를 보였지 만 마늘을 다량 투여한 3% 투여군에서는 신장과 간장에 약간의 부담을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
