초록

SD계 흰쥐를 사용하여 motor activity 실험에서 동물들의 자발적인 운동성을 측정한 결과, 주어진 시간 내 움직인 시간과 움직인 거리에는 n-3 지방산이 적절히 함유된 식이군 (Adq group)과 DHA가 첨가된 식이군(Adq+DHA group)간에 유의적 차이를 관찰할 수가 없었다. 학습효과 실험에서 n-3 지방산이 적절히 함유된 식이군 (Adq group)의 경우 목적 플랫트폼까지 걸리는 시간이 DHA 첨가 식이군(Adq+DHA group)에 비하여 다소 길었으나 유의적 차이는 관찰할 수가 없었다. 수영 속도(swimming speed)에서 DHA 첨가 식이군(Adq+DHA group)의 경우, n-3 지방산이 적절히 함유된 식이군 (Adq group)에 비해 유의적으로 빨랐으나 수영 풀에서 움직인 거리 (swimming distance)에는 두 식이군 간의 유의적 차이가 없었다. 두 식이군의 흰쥐들이 수영한 시간(swimming time)과 쉬고 있는 시간(resting time)의 경우, 쉬는 시간에는 유의적 차이가 없었으나 수영 시간 또한 n-3 지방산이 적절이 함유된 식이(Adq group)로 사육된 쥐가 DHA가 첨가된 식이로 사육된 쥐(Adq+DHA group)보다 수영한 시간이 길었으나 여기서도 유의적 차이는 없었다. 기억력 테스트에서 n-3 지방산이 적절히 함유된 식이군(Adq group) 및 DHA가 첨가된 식이군(Adq+DHA group) 모두는 목적 플랫트폼이 있었던 A 지역에 대한 기억이 우수하여 다른 지역들인 B, C, D를 지나가는 횟수보다 유의적으로 많았음을 관찰하였다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로부터 임신에서부터 성인이 될 때까지 n-3 지방산이 적절히 함유된 식이로 사육된 쥐와 비교할 때 DHA가 첨가된 식이로 사육된 흰쥐가 Morris water maze를 이용한 공간기억력 실험에서 다소 우수한 기억 학습효과를 나타내었으나 유의적 차이는 없었음을 관찰 할 수가 있었다.

The effect of adding docosahexaenoic acid into an n-3 fatty acid adequate diet on the improvement of learning related brain function was investigated. On the second day after conception, Sprague Dawley strain dams were subjected to a diet containing either n-3 fatty acid adequate (Adq, 3.4% linolenic acid) or n-3 fatty acid adequate+docosahexaenoic acid (Adq+DHA, 3.31%linolenic acid plus 9.65% DHA). After weaning, male pups were fed on the same diet of their respective dams until adulthood. Motor activity and Morris water maze tests were measured at 10 weeks. In the motor activity test, there were no statistically significant differences in moving time and moving distance between the Adq and Adq+DHA diet groups. The n-3 fatty acid adequate with DHA (Adq+DHA) group tended to show a shorter escape latency, swimming time and swimming distance compared to the n-3 fatty acid adequate group (Adq), but the differences were not statistically significant. There was no difference in resting time, but the Adq+DHA group showed a higher swimming speed compared to the Adq group. In memory retention trials, the numbers of crossing of the platform position (region A), in which the hidden platform was placed, were significantly greater than those of other regions for both Adq and Adq+DHA groups. Based on these results, adding DHA into the n-3 fatty acid adequate diet from gestation to adulthood tended to induce better spatial learning performance in Sprague Dawley rats as assessed by the Morris water maze test, although the difference was not significant.
