Abstract

The effects of Allium vegetables on blood glucose levels and lipid metabolism in streptozotocin (S12) induced diabetic rats were investigated. Diabetes mellitus was induced by S1'2 injection (45 mg/kg 5.w.) into the tail vein. Sprague-Dawley rats weighing $220\;{\pm}\;10\;g$ were randomly assigned to 7 groups: normal, S1'2-control and five Allium groups (Allium cepa, Allium fistulosum, Allium sativum, Allium tuberosum and Allium victorialisL Normal and S12control groups were fed an AIN-93 diet and five Allium groups were fed a modified diet containing. 10% Allium powder each for 4 weeks. Body weight, diet intake, food efficiency ratio (FER) and organ weights- were monitored. Activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) & alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were observed: Plasma lev~ls of glucose, free fatty acid, triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol were analyzed. Levels of glycogen, cholesterol and triglyceride in liver were determined. Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver, lung, kidney, and pancreas were assayed. The hepatic contents of chromium (Cr) , iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mu) were measured. The Allium sativum group had weight gain and suppressed a hypertrophy of the kidney significantly. The activity of ALT was significantly lowered in the diabetic groups except Allium sativum group compared to STZ-control group. The Allium sativum and Allium tuberosum groups showed the hypoglycemic effects at 4 weeks. There were no significant differences between the control and all the other diabetic groups in the plasma levels of cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and free fatty acids. Most of the Allium groups except Allium fistulosum were observed significantly lowered level of MDA in the lung compared to STZ-control group. The diabetic rats fed the Allium cepa and Allium sativum have shown significantly lowered hepatic Zn contents. The results suggested that the intake of the Allium vegetables may be effective in the antihyperglycemia by lowering blood glucose levels.

한국산 식용 및 약용식물의 항당뇨 효과 탐색 연구로 본 연구에서는 Allium속 식물 중 식품으로 다양하게 사용하고 있는 5가지 양파, 파, 마늘, 부추 및 산마늘을 냉동건조하고 분말화하여 첨가한 식이를 STZ로 유발시킨 당뇨 흰쥐에게 28일간 섭취시킨 후 혈장 포도당, 지질 함량 및 간장내 무기질 함량을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) STZ에 의한 당뇨유발로 당뇨대조군의 체중은 감소하였으나 당뇨실험군의 체중은 증가하는 경향을 보였고 특히 마늘섭취군에서는 유의적인 체중 증가를 나타내었다. 식이이용효율에서도 당뇨대조군은 다식현상으로 식이섭취량은 체중증가량이 적어 음 (-)의 식이효율을 나타내었고 양파섭취군과 마늘섭취군 및 부추섭취군은 유의적으로 높은 식이효율을 보였다. 2) 장기의 무게는 당뇨대조군과 당뇨실험군에 비해 마늘섭취군의 신장 무게가 유의적으로 낮아 신장 비대를 엊제한 것으로 나타났으며 다른 장기에서는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. AST 활성도는 실험군간에 유의성이 없는 결과를 나타내었으나 ALT 활성도는 마늘섭취군에서 유의적으로 낮은 수준을 나타내었다. 3) 당뇨대조군은 고혈당이 지속된 반면 마늘섭취군의 혈당은 실험 1주째부터 유의적으로 낮은 수준을 보여 혈당 억제 효과를 나타내었으며 부추섭취군도 실험 4주째에는 유의적으로 낮은 수준의 혈당을 나타내었다. 간장 글리코겐 함량은 정상군에 비해 모든 당뇨유발군이 유의적으로 낮은 함량을 나타내었으나 당뇨대조군에 비해 Allium속 식물의 섭취는 모두 높은 수치를 보이었다. 4) 혈장 내 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 유리지방산, HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 각 실험군간의 유의차가 없었으며 폐의 MDA 함량은 당뇨대조군에 비해 양파섭취군, 마늘섭취군, 부추섭취군과 산마늘섭취군에서 유의적으로 낮았다. Allium속 식물 중 마늘과 부추는 고혈당의 수준을 저하시키거나 억제시켜 혈당을 개선할 수 있으며 부추와 산마늘섭취가 혈당저하에는 관련되지 않았으나 조직의 과산화지질 감소에는 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 당뇨병의 주요증세가 고혈당 그리고 다식임에도 불구하고 급격한 체중감소를 보인다는 점에서 본 실험결과는 Allium속 식물을 당뇨동물에게 급여함으로써 체중저하를 방지하고 당대사를 개선함으로써 당뇨병의 증세가 어느 정도 호전될 수 있음을 보여준다. Allium속 식물이라도 함유된 생리활성 성분에 따라 다른 생리적 기능을 나타낼 수 있으므로 그 생리활성성분을 고려한 적절한 섭취는 그 효능을 극대화할 수 있음을 추정할 수 있으며 각 성분에 대한 생리 활성에 대해서는 더 깊은 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다. 또한 그 자체로서 항산화 작용에 관여하거나 다양한 체내 산화스트레스에 대해 영향을 받는 Cr, Zn, Fe 및 Mn과 같은 미량 원소들의 체내 반응 기작에 관해서는 앞으로 좀더 연구해야 할 과제라고 사료된다.
