Abstract

Rats(Sprague-Dawley) were randomly assigned to the following four groups, control, exercise only, exercise and the intake of DNA, exercise, and the intake of DNA plus crude catechin. 0.4% of DNA from salmon egg and 0.1% crude catechins from Puerariae thunbergiana roots were fed to the rats. The exercise group was exercised in a treadmill at 20 m/min speed for 6 wks. Body weight and body fat weight of 4 groups were investigated, and the body fat composition and antioxidant activity were evaluated by measuring the weight of organs and biochemical test. After 6 wks, body weight did not show any significant differences among those 4 groups, but body fat weight in exercised groups was significantly decreased. The weight of liver, epididymal adipose tissue(E.A.T) and perirenal adipose tissue(P.A.T) were significantly decreased in groups of exercise only, exercise and the intake of DNA, exercise and the intake of DNA plus crude catechin(p<0.05). Phospholipid, cholesterol and triglyceride levels of serum were decreased by exercise, but HDL-cholesterol level of serum was significantly increased(p<0.05). GOT, GPT and glucose levels in serum were slightly decreased by crude catechin, but serum NEFA levels were significantly increased by crude catechin(p<0.05). Results indicated that excercise with the intake of crude catechin would be helpful for the functional development of the compositions in blood lipid.

본 연구는 운동부하와 DNA 및 칡 crude catechin의 급여에 의한 생체내 성분 변화를 알아보기 위하여 흰쥐를 대조군, 운동부하군, 운동부하+DNA 및 운동부하+DNA+crude catechin 첨가군으로 나누어 사육하였다. 각각 0.4% DNA와 0.1% 칡crude catechins을 해당 횐쥐에 급식시켰으며, 운동부하군은 Treadmill에서 20 m/min의 속도로 6주 동안 운동시켰다. 사육실험종료 후 체중 증체량과 체지방무게를 먼저 칭량한 후, 항산화활성과 체지방조성을 kit assay를 이용하여 측정하였다. 6주후 각 군간의 최종 체중에는 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 간장, 부고환주위지방 및 신장주위지방은 운동부하군, 운동부하+DNA 첨가군 및 운동부하+DNA+crude catechin 첨가군이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 낮은 값(p<0.05)을 나타냈다. 또, 혈중 phospholipid, cholesterol 및 triglyceride농도는 운동부하군, 운동부하+DNA 첨가군 및 운동부하+DNA+crude catechin 첨가군이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 낮았으나(p<0.05), HDL-cholesterol은 유의하게 높은 값을 나타냈다. GPT 활성은 각 군간에 유의차가 없었으나, GOT활성은 운동부하를 처리한 군에서 적은 수치를 나타냈으며, TBA가는 각 군간에 유의 차가 없었다. 또, 혈중 NEFA 수준은 운동부하+DNA+crude catechin 첨가군이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 높은 값을 나타냈다.(p<0.05). 이상의 실험에서 운동과 더불어 crude catechin 섭취가 유의한 차이를 나타내지는 않았지만 혈청지질의 성분의 향상에 보조역할을 할 것으로 사료된다.
