Abstract

Pine needles have long been used as a traditional health-promoting medicinal food in Korea. To investigate the effects of pine (pinus densiflora) needle extracts on blood flow and serum lipid improvement were assessed in vivo. 8 week-old Sprague Dawley strain rats were divided into four groups of seven rats each; CON, 0.5% CHOL, HOT water and Sub-supercritical group. Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride contents were lower in the CON group than the 0.5% CHOL group. Three weeks of feeding hot water and sub-supercritical extract resulted in a decrease in serum triglyceride and total cholesterol level. The level of HDL-cholesterol in the 0.5% CHOL group was significantly (p<0.05) reduced compared to the CON group, but it had a tendency to increase with pine needle extract supplementation. Blood passage time of the pine needle extracts supplemented group was higher than the 0.5% CHOL group. Microscopic observation showed that whole blood passed smoothly through the micro channels in pine needle extracts supplemented groups. The platelet aggregation ability of the groups treated with pine needle extracts was less than that of the 0.5% CHOL group. All these results suggest that pine needle extracts might improve blood homeostasis mediated via antiplatelet activities.

우리나라에서 자생하고 있는 소나무류 가운데 대표적인 적송(pinus densiflora)을 열수 및 아임계 추출하여 콜레스테롤식이에 의해 혈 중 지질함량이 증가한 상태에서 흰쥐의 지질 및 혈류, 혈소판 응집 억제를 통하여 적송잎이 혈행 및 혈청 중의 지질개선에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 본 실험에서는 콜레스테롤식이로 혈행 장애와 혈중의 높은 지질함량을 유도시키기 위해 흰쥐에게 3주간 0.5%콜레스테롤 식이를 투여하였고 적송의 효능을 검토하기 위해 적송잎의 열수 및 아임계추출물을 병합 투여하여 실험하였다. 그 결과 혈청 중 중성지방 및 총콜레스테롤 함량은 적송잎 추출물 투여(열수 및 아임계추출)에 의해 저하되었으며, 특히 중성지방 함량을 유의적으로 감소시키는 결과를 나타내었다. 한편 Hdl-콜레스테롤 농도는 콜레스테롤 식이 투여에 의해 감소하였으나, 적송잎 열수 및 아임계추출물 투여에 의해 증가되었다. Ldl-콜레스테롤과 동맥경화지수(AI)와 심혈관위험지수(CRF) 또한 적송잎 추출물 투여에 의해 저하되었다. 콜레스테롤 식이 투여로 인해 혈장 내 혈액응고인자(coagulation factors)의 지나친 활성화 및 혈소판 응집 촉진으로 혈류의 모세관 통과 시간이 늦어 졌으나, 적송잎 추출물의 투여로 인해 혈류의 속도가 빨라짐을 볼 수 있었고, 이는 적송잎이 혈액의 유동성에 좋은 영향을 줄 것으로 사료되어진다. 적송잎 추출물의 항혈소판 응집에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과, 0.5%콜레스테롤 식이 투여(0.5%CHOL)군의 경우 대조군(CON)에 비해 혈소판이 응집되는 결과가 나타난 반면 적송잎 추출물을 투여한 군은 0.5%CHOL군에 비해 혈소판 응집이 억제되는 것으로 나타났다 이상의 결과로 미루어 적송잎이 혈행 개선과 혈청 중의 지질개선 효과를 나타내어 동맥경화증, 혈전증 등의 혈관 관련성 질환에 효과가 있을 것으로 기대되며, 기능성 식품 및 식재료로 사용하기 위한 앞으로의 더욱 구체적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
