Effect of Glumate on the Blood Concentrations of Ethanol in Healthy Adults

정상 성인에 있어서 미배아 발효액 (Glumate)이 에탄올의 혈중농도에 미치는 영향

The extracts fermented of rice germ are called GMT (Glumate) which is a main ingredient of Condition$^{\circledR}$. It has been reported that GMT reduced the blood concentrations of alcohol in heathy adults. The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of GMT on blood concentrations of ethanol and on heart rate increase induced by ethanol. GMT was administered orally to 15 healthy adults before (10 min) and after (1 h) ethanol ingestion. The oral administration of GMT before (10 min) and after (1 h) ethanol ingestion reduced the area under the blood concentration of ethanol-time curve (p<0.12) and tended to inhibit the ethanol-induced heart rate increase.
