Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of aqueous extracts from Tremella fuciformis Berk(Tf AE) against stress during long-term and short-term in ICR mice. All the animals were randomly divided into two groups which had been bred for 5 months that were treated by immobilization stress for 8 weeks (total 7 months breeding, equivalent to human beings aged 20) with or without Tf AE, and one out of two groups was continuously bred until they become 18 months old (equivalent to human beings aged 60) without Tf AE. Afterwards, the changes of serum and hepatic metabolites were investigated on the basis of the index of stress-related in vivo oxidative damage. As a result, it was found that stress increases serum triglyceride (TG) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and decreases serum HDL-cholesterol in the long-term (total 18 months breeding) and short-term (total 7 months breeding). In addition, stress concerned the decrease of total antioxidant status (TAS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) as well as the increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver. On the other hand, Tf AE-fed groups reversed all these biochemical indices. These results suggest that stress in one's youth causes negative results in TG, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, AST, TAS, SOD and MDA measured in one's senescent. The administration of Tf AE in the stressed mice decreases serum TG and AST that are increased by stress, and exerts influence on the increase of serum HDL-cholesterol. Also Tf AE recovered the values of liver TAS, SOD and MDA in the stressed mice. In conclusion, Tf AE represented protective effect in the stressed mice to some degree.

본 연구에서는 일정기간 스트레스를 받을 때 흰목이버섯 추출물 식이가 스트레스로 인한 생체내의 산화적 손상지표 변화를 보아 사람의 나이 20대에 받은 스트레스가 노년기인 60대 이상에 접어들었을 때에 혈청과 간의 대사산물 변화에 있어 식품 재료로써 흰목이버섯 추출물의 장단기적 보호 효과와 식이의 안정성을 살펴보았다. ICR 마우스를 사람의 나이 20대에 해당되는 5개월까지 사육한 후, 8주간의 스트레스를 가하고 사람의 나이 노년기에 해당되는 18개월 될 때까지 사육하여 스트레스로 인한 생체 내의 산화적 손상지표로 혈청과 간의 대사산물의 변화를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 스트레스는 장 단기적으로 모두 혈청의 TG, AST 함량을 증가시키고, HDL-cholesterol 함량을 저하시키는 것에 반해, 여기에 흰목이버섯 추출물의 투여는 스트레스를 받은 쥐에서 혈청 TG, LDL-cholesterol과 AST의 함량을 감소시키고, HDL-cholesterol의 함량을 증가시키는 효과를 보여주었다. 스트레스는 간조직의 TAS 함량, SOD활성 감소와 MDA 함량 증가를 야기시켰으며, 스트레스 시 흰목이버섯 추출물의 투여 쥐는 TAS 함량, SOD활성을 증진시키고, MDA의 함량을 저하시키는데 긍정적 영향을 주었다. 따라서 젊었을 때 한때 받은 스트레스는 노년기의 TG, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, AST, TAS, SOD 그리고 MDA의 수치 모두에 있어서 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 7개월과 18개월 그룹의 흰목이버섯 추출물 식이군이 대조군에 대해 MDA의 유의적 감소와 AST의 유의적 차이가 없음은 흰목이버섯 추출물이 장단기적으로 독성을 나타내지 않는 안전한 천연제제물로 사용할 수 있으리라 사료된다. 이러한 결과를 통해서 한때 어느 기간 받은 스트레스는 시간이 지난 노년기까지 혈청과 간조직에 부정적 영향을 주므로, 천연제제로써 흰목이버섯 추출물을 식용하면 어느 정도 장단기적 보호 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 또한 안전한 식품이므로 흰목이버섯 추출물의 식이는 과도한 스트레스에 노출되어 있는 현대인들을 위해 매우 유용할 것이며 장복하므로 노후 질병의 예방에도 많은 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
