Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of powders of autoclaved soy flour and doenjang fermented using Bacillus subtilis DJI on lipid profiles and antioxidative activities of rats fed a high cholesterol diet. Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 200~210 g were divided into four groups: normal diet group (N), high cholesterol diet group (HC), autoclaved soy flour and high cholesterol diet group (SHC), and doenjang and high cholesterol diet group (DHC). The serum ALT, AST and ALP activities of the SHC and DHC groups were lower than those of the HC group, but exerted no significant change on serum LDH activity. Serum triglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels were markedly decreased by autoclaved soy flour and doenjang administration, while the serum HDL-cholesterol level was higher in groups given autoclaved soy flour and doenjang administration. The GSH-Px and catalase activities in liver elevated by a high cholesterol diet were significantly decreased by autoclaved soy flour and doenjang administration (p<0.05). Liver GSH levels of the SHC and DHC groups were significantly decreased compared to the HC group (p<0.05). Liver TBARS level was significantly decreased in the DHC group fed with doenjang powder compared with those of the HC group (p<0.05). These results suggest that soy flour and doenjang may reduce levels of serum cholesterol and prevent oxidative stress by stimulating antioxidative systems in rats fed a high cholesterol diet.

본 연구는 고콜레스테롤식이를 급여한 흰쥐에게 동일 품종의 국산 원료 대두로부터 제조된 감압 증자한 대두분말 혹은 B. subtilis DJI 균주로 접종 후 천일염을 첨가하여 제조한 된장분말을 함께 급여하였을 경우 혈청 중 콜레스테롤 저하효과와 간 조직 중 항산화효과에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 실험군은 정상군(N), 고콜레스테롤군(HC), 고콜레스테롤과 대두분말식이군(SHC) 및 고콜레스테롤과 DJI 된장분말식이군(DHC)으로 나누어 4주간 실시하였다. 체중증가량과 식이섭취량은 SHC군과 DHC군이 HC군과 N군에 비하여 유의하게 감소되었다(p<0.05). 식이효율은 실험군 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 혈청 중 AST, ALT 및 ALP활성은 고콜레스테롤과 대두 혹은 된장분말을 함께 급여한 SHC군과 DHC군이 고콜레스테롤 만을 급여한 HC군에 비하여 저하되었으며(p<0.05), N군과는 비슷한 활성을 나타내었다. 혈청 중 중성지질, 총콜레스테롤 및 LDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 HC군에 비하여 SHC군과 DHC군에서 유의적으로 감소되는 경향이었고(p<0.05), HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 대두 혹은 된장분말을 함께 급여하였을 경우 고콜레스테롤식이로 증가된 간 조직 중 유리기해독계 효소인 catalase 및 GSH-Px 활성 억제와 항산화작용을 나타내는 GSH 함량을 증가시킴으로서 지질과산화물에 대한 방어력이 증가되었다. 콜레스테롤 저하 및 항산화효과는 대두분말과 된장분말 간에 차이가 거의 없었다. 이상의 결과 대두 혹은 된장분말은 고콜레스테롤식이로 유도된 산화적 손상에 대한 간 보호효과와 혈청 중 콜레스테롤 저하효과가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.
