Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the inhibitory effect of hepatic toxicity and liver lipid metabolism after the administration of Artemisia capillaris and Paecilomyces japonica. SD rats were divided into $CCI_4$ treated group with subgroups of 6% Artemisia capillaries (6A), 4% Artemisia capillaris+2% Paecilomyces japonica (4A2P), 3% Artemisia capillaris+3% Paecilomyces japonica (3A3P), 2% Artemisia capillaris+4% Paecilomyces japonica (2A4P) and 6% Paecilomyces japonica (6P). In this study we also intended to verify the optimum ratio of Artemisia capillaris and Paecilomyces japonica which can reduce hepatotoxicity. Artemisia capillaris and Paecilomyces japonica reduced cholesterol and triglyceride levels which were increased by the treatment of $CCI_4$. HDL-cholesterol level was the most enhanced in the group of 4A2P. On the other hand, athrogenic index (AI) was reduced statistically (p<0.05). When the ratio of Artemisia capillaris and Paecilomyces japonica was 2:1, the improvement of rat serum and liver lipid metabolism and the alleviation of hepatic damage induced by $CCI_4$ were shown to be the most effective in this study. It is considered that the symptoms of severe chemically induced hepatotoxicity could be lessened by Artemisia capillaris and Paecilomyces japonica administration.

본 연구는 $CCI_4$를 투여한 흰쥐에서 인진쑥과 동충하초를 서로 다른 혼합비율로 투여했을 때 간 손상에 대한 생리활성 기능을 조사하기 위해 혈청 및 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 측정하였다. 사염화탄소의 투여는 간독성을 나타내 간의 무게 및 ALT, AST 수준을 증가시켰으며 이는 인진쑥과 동충하초의 투여에 의해 개선되며 인진쑥과 동충하초를 병행 투여 시 더욱 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 사염화탄소 투여로 인해 증가된 혈청 콜레스테롤과 중성지방은 인진쑥, 동충하초의 투여로 저하되었으며 혈청 중성지방은 인진쑥과 동충하초를 동량으로 투여한 군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났고, 혈청 콜레스테롤은 전체 인진쑥, 동충하초 투여군에서 모두 유의적으로 감소되었으며 인진쑥과 동충하초를 병행 투여하는 경우 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동맥경화지수는 사염화탄소의 투여 시 정상식이군보다 유의적으로 증가되었으나 인진쑥, 동충하초의 투여로 감소되었으며 4% 인진쑥과 2% 동충하초 병행 투여가 동맥경화지수를 낮추는데 가장 효율적인 것으로 사료된다. 사염화탄소를 투여한 흰쥐의 간장 내 총 지질과 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방의 함량은 정상군보다 증가하였다. 인진쑥, 동충하초의 투여는 사염화 탄소 투여로 높아진 중성지방과 콜레스테롤을 감소하는 효과를 보였으며 4% 인진쑥과 2% 동충하초를 병행 투여 시가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면 인진쑥과 동충하초의 투여는 사염화탄소로 유발된 간 독성을 저하시키며 혈청과 간지질 대사를 개선하는 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며 간 기능 개선과 지질대사 개선효과를 가지고있는 인진쑥과 동충하초를 단독으로 투여하는 것보다 병행 투여하는 것이 더 효과적이며 그 혼합비율이 4% 인진쑥과 2% 동충하초에서 가장 효율적으로 나타났으나 혼합비율에 대해서는 앞으로 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.
