Abstract

This study was to investigate the hypolipidemic effect of powdered mulberry leaves (PML) and water extract of powdered mulberry leaves (WML) on high-fat fed mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups; a normal group (N), a high-fat (HF) group, a high-fat group supplemented with PML (HF-PML) and a high-fat group supplemented with WML (HF-WML). The PML or WML was added to a standard diet based on 1% dried mulberry loaves (1g PML/100g diet and 0.22g WML/100g diet) for 6 weeks. Body weight and organ weights were not different among thle groups in high-fat fed mice, whereas food intake and daily energy intake were significantly (p<0.05) lowered in the HF-PML group. In plasma and liver, the supplementation of PML and WML significantly (p<0.05) lowered cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations compared to the HF group. The HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio was significantly (p<0.05) higher in the HF-PML and HF-WML groups than in the B:.w group. The fecal triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations were significantly (p<0.05) increased in the HF-PML and HF-WML groups compared to the HF group. Hepatic lipid regulating enzyme activities, fatty acid synthase, fatty acid ${\beta}-oxidation$ and carnitine palmitoyl transferase were significantly lower in the HF group than in the N group. However, the activities of these hepatic lipid regulating enzymes activities were significantly (p<0.05) elevated in the HF-PML and HF-WML groups compared to the HF group. Accordingly, these results suggest that PML and WML improve plasma and hepatic lipid levels partly by increasing fecal lipid excretion and enhancing hepatic lipid regulating enzymes activities.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 장려 품종인 청일뽕잎을 이용하여 고지방식이(열량의 37%를 지방으로 대체)를 급여한 C57BL/6 마우스의 지질 함량과 지질대사를 측정함으로써 뽕잎분말과 열수추출물의 지질 개선작용을 검증하고자 하였다. 4주령의 C57BL/6마우스(n=32)를 1주일간 적응시킨 후 정상식이를 급여한 정상군, 고지방을 급여한 고지방대조군(HF), 고지방-뽕잎분말군(HF-PML)과 고지방-뽕잎열수 추출물군(HF-WML)으로 나누어 6주간 사육하였다. 뽕잎은 사람의 섭취량을 고려하여 뽕잎 1%수준이 섭취되도록 분말(1g/100g diet)과 열수추출물(0.22g/100g diet)을 식이에 첨가 조제하여 급여하였다. 뽕잎분말과 열수추출물은 고지 방을 급여 한 마우스의 체중과 장기 무게에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 뽕잎분말만 일일 식이섭취량과 에너지 섭취를 고지방 대조군에 비하여 감소시켰다 실험 6주 후 고지방 대조군의 혈장과 간조직 중의 콜레스테롤과 중성지질 함량이 정상군에 비하여 유의적으로 높았으나 뽕잎분말과 열수추출물 급여시 혈장과 간조직 중의 지질 함량이 유의적으로 개선되었고 총 콜레스테롤 함량에 대한 HDL-콜레스테롤 비는 정상 수준이었다(p<0.05). 뽕잎분말과 열수추출물은 변으로의 콜레스테롤과 중성지질 배설을 증가시켰다. 간조직 중의 fatty acid synthase, fatty acid ${\beta}-oxidation$과 carnitine palmitoyl transferase 활성은 고지방 대조군이 정상군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮았으나 뽕잎분말과 열수추출물은 이들 효소들의 활성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 이와 같이 고지방을 급여한 마우스에서 뽕잎분말과 열수추출물은 변으로의 지질 배설을 증가시키고 간조직의 지질대사 관련 효소 활성에 영향을 미침으로써 혈장과 간조직의 지질 함량을 개선하는데 효과적인 것으로 검증되었다.
