Abstract

Effects of mahwang(Ephedrae herba) extract on plasma lipid composition, GOT, GPT activity and blood cell composition were investigated in rats. Concentrations of FFA was not significantly different in all treatment groups. Concentrations of triglyceride and total cholesterol in plasma were decreased in mahwang(Ephedrae herba) extract groups. However concentrations of HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol showed no significant difference in all treatment groups. GOT activities were increased in mahwang(Ephedrae herba) extract 300mg/kg group. However the values of GPT showed no significant difference in all treatment groups. Counts of RBC were increased in mahwang(Ephedrae herba) extract 300mg/kg group. Counts of WBC showed no significant difference in all treatment groups. In WBC composition, neutrophils were increased, but other cells were not affected by mahwang extract treatment.

마황 추출액이 흰쥐의 혈액내 지질구성, 간장기능 및 혈구성상에 미치는 영향을 검토했다. 혈장내 FFA 농도는 처리군 간에 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 triglyceride 농도는 마황 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 총콜레스테롤량은 마황 첨가군에서 현저하게 감소했다. 그러나 HDL 및 LDC-cholesterol 농도는 처리군 간에 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. GOT 활성치는 마황 첨가군에서 높은 경향을 보였으나, GPT 활성치는 처리군 간에 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. RBC는 마황 첨가군에서 높은 수치를 보였으나, Hb 및 PCV는 처리군 간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. WBC 총수는 처리군 간에 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 백혈구 구성비는 neutrophils의 비율이 마황 첨가군에서 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 나머지 종류들은 처리군 간에 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다.
