Abstract

In this study, the various effects of Salicornia herbacea, including antioxidative function, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory effect, and the effect of sebiparous reduction due to intervention of the DHT hormone were investigated using. The result of this study Based on this analysis, the serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, and WBC were found to be significantly decreased and SOD, Ca, K, and Zn were shown to be significantly increased significantly in the group that received the SH pill group after trial fora 12 week trials. Testosterone and DHT were increased in the SH pill group, but it was not statistically significant. In the case of the skin condition measurements, the number of blackhead pores, skin oiliness, keratin and, MIC were significantly decreased, and the pH was decreased to normal pH in the SH pill group. Therefore, it was confirmed that overall skin condition was improved due to Salicornia herbacea diet. The results of this research result can contribute so demonstrate the potential of actively using that the Salicornia herbacea can be actively developed as a health supplement, and a medication.

본 연구에서는 여드름이 있는 20대 대학생을 대상으로 12주간의 함초 섭취 유무에 따른 혈청 지질, testosteron, DHT, 미네랄, WBC 및 SOD 등을 측정하고 피부 상태를 측정함으로써 함초에 포함된 생리 활성 물질들의 항산화, 항균, 항균 및 항염 작용, 체내 남성 호르몬 간섭에 의한 피지 분비 저하 작용 등을 확인하여 함초가 여드름 개선에 효과가 있는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 혈액 지표 검사 결과, 혈청 total cholesterol 및 triglyceride 농도 측정 결과 대조군에서는 시험 전후 차이가 유의하지 않았으나, 함초환 복용군에서는 시험 전후 total cholesterol 및 triglyceride가 유의하게 감소하였고, WBC가 유의하게 감소 하였으며, 항산화 지표인 SOD는 유의하게 증가하여 함초의 지질 감소에 의한 피지 감소 작용, 염증 반응 감소에 의한 항염 작용 및 항산화 작용을 확인하였다. 또한 혈중 미네랄 농도의 경우 함초환 복용군에서 함초 식이 후 Ca, K, Fe 및 Zn이 함초 식이 전에 비해 유의하게 증가하여 이들 미네랄의 증가로 인한 항산화 작용에 의해 여드름 피부가 개선될 수 있음 역시 확인하였다. 피부 상태 측정 결과의 경우, 블랙헤드 모공수의 경우 대조군에서는 시험 전후 변화가 유의하지 않았던 반면 함초환 복용군에서는 시험 전에 비해 시험 후 얼굴 중앙 및 우측면에서 유의하게 감소하였고, 피부 유분량은 대조군에서의 변화는 모두 유의하지 않았던 반면 함초환 복용군에서는 이마 및 볼, 코, 턱 및 눈 밑에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 피부 각질 상태 역시 대조군에서는 시험 전후 변화가 유의하지 않았으나 함초환 복용군에서는 유의하게 감소하였다. 함초환 복용군에서는 함초 식이 후 이마, 볼, 코 및 눈 밑에서의 시험 후 pH가 5.12~5.36으로 유의하게 낮아져 정상 피부 상태인 약산성 pH에 가까워진 반면 대조군에서는 유의한 변화가 없었다. 함초 식이 시 피부에서의 미생물량이 유의하게 감소하여 함초의 여드름 균 억제능을 확인하였다. 여드름 단계 역시 대조군에서는 유의한 변화가 없가던 반면 함초환 복용군에서는 시험 후 여드름 등급이 유의하게 낮아져 여드름 피부의 개선을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 볼 때 함초는 함초 내에 포함된 미네랄을 포함한 여러 생리활성물질의 항염, 항균 및 항산화작용이 종합적으로 작용하여 피부 유분, 각질 및 블랙헤드를 감소시키고 피부의 pH를 저하시켜 여드름 등급이 낮아지는 종합적인 여드름 피부의 개선 효과를 나타내었음을 알 수 있었다.
