Effect of Dietary Fibers on Changes of Blood Pressure and Na Balance in Sponteneous Hypertensive Rats

식이섬유의 종류가 자연적 고혈압 유발 백서의 혈압 변화 및 Na 흡수에 미치는 영향

To investigate a possible effect of pectinate(apple and carrot) and alginate (tangle or green laver) on blood pressure and sodium retention, male spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) were assigned to 5 different experimental groups and fed diets containing 5% dietary fiber and 1% NaCl for 3 weeks. Dietary fibers were provided from one of the followings : cellulose, freeze dried apple, carrot, tangle(Undardia pinnatifda) or green laver(Monostroma nitidium). Fecal sodium excretion did not change significantly among the groups, however, urinary sodium excretion was increased in groups fed either carrot. tangle or green laver compared to group fed cellulose. Sodium balance was also negative in groups fed either carrot, tangle or green laver. most effectively in green laver group. Blood pressure of groups fed apple. carrot. tangle or green laver were decreased, especially those of group fed tangle, compared to those of group fed cellulose. Dietary fiber containing alginate. such as tangle and green laver, might have cellular binding capacity to sodium so that increased urinary sodium excretion and decreased blood pressure occur.

1) 체중증가량, 식이섭취량은 모든 군에서 차이가 거의 없었다. 2) 혈압은 대조군에 비해 건조사과군, 건조당근군, 건조미역군, 건조파래군 모두에게서 유의적인 감소를 보였다. 3) Na balance는 건조당근군, 건조파래군, 건조미역군에서 negative value를 나타내었으며 유의적 이었다. 4) 소변중의 Na배설은 대변중의 Na배설에 변화없이 미역, 파래, 당근을 섭취시킨 군이 다른 군에 비해 보다 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 5) Pectin첨가군 및 algin첨가군은 대조군에 비교하여 혈청내 total cholesterol은 감소시키는 경향을 보였으나 triglyceride는 유의적 차이가 없었다.
