Abstract

The serum levels of antioxidant materials (${\alpha}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, ${\gamma}$-tocopherol, retinol) of the healthy Korean middle-aged adults (n = 373) were measured and their relationships with the serum lipids and anthropometric indices were analyzed. The serum levels of ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin, ${\beta}$-carotene, lutein were higher than those of lycopene and ${\alpha}$-carotene. The levels of all measured carotenoids except lutein were significantly higher in females than in males, but retinol level was vice versa. There was a tendency of increase in serum levels of antioxidant vitamins with increasing age. The serum carotenoid levels had a positive correlation with serum cholesterol and a negative correlation with serum triglyceride. The serum levels of tocopherols or retinol showed a significantly positive relationship with blood cholesterol or triglyceride. In overall, anthropometric indices showed negative relations with serum carotenoids levels, but vice versa with serum tocopherol or retinol levels. Particularly, ${\beta}$-carotene and lutein levels showed a significantly negative relation with blood pressure in male subjects. The serum levels of ${\alpha}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-carotene and ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin had significantly negative relations with body fat-related indices in female subjects. The results demonstrated that blood antioxidants levels differed by sex and age, and had significant relations with blood lipid levels and anthropometric indices. Therefore, the rationale and significance of the relationships need to be elucidated in the future study related to dietary intakes and life style.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 건강한 중년성인의 혈청 carotenoids류 (${\alpha}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene)와 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, ${\gamma}$-tocopherol, retinol의 수준을 파악하고 혈중 지질상태 및 신체계측치와의 상관성을 평가해보고자 하였으며 조사 대상자는 40대 이후 건강한 성인 373명 (남자 231명, 여자 142명)이었다. 우리나라 건강한 중년기 성인의 혈청 중에 존재하는 주요 carotenoids는 ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin, ${\beta}$-carotene, lutein이었고 lycopene, ${\alpha}$-carotene은 더 낮은 농도로 존재하였다. 성별에 따른 비교에서는 ${\alpha}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin, lycopene 등의 carotenoids 물질들의 농도는 여자가 남자에 비해 유의하게 높았고, retinol은 남자가 여자에 비해 유의하게 높았으며 lutein과 tocopherol은 성별에 따른 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 혈중 항산화 물질의 농도는 연령이 높아짐에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 retinol과 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 영양상태는 남자가 여자에 비해 우수하였다. 혈청 항산화 물질들의 농도와 혈청 및 소변 중의 지질과산화물 농도 사이에는 뚜렷한 상관성을 발견할 수가 없었다. 혈청 carotenoids들은 상호간에 또 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 사이에 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 반면 lutein을 제외하고는 retinol과는 음의 상관성을 나타내었다. 혈 중 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol과 retinol 사이에는 유의적인 양의 상관성을 보였다. 혈 중 지질과의 상관성 분석에서 측정된 모든 항산화 물질들은 총콜레스테롤과 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 반면 중성지질은 carotenoids 물질과는 음의 상관성을 보였고 tocopherol, retinol과는 양의 상관성을 보였다. 혈청 항산화 물질들의 농도와 신체계측치 사이에는 성별에 관계없이 전반적으로 혈청 carotenoids류는 신체계측치들 및 혈압과 음의 상관성을 보였으며, tocopherol들과 retinol 수준은 양의 상관성을 보였다. 이 중 특히 유의적인 상관성을 보인 것은 남성에서 ${\beta}$-carotene과 lutein의 혈압과의 음의 상관성, 여성에서의 ${\alpha}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-carotene, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin과 체지방 관련 지표들 (BMI, WHR, 체지방율)과의 음의 관련성이었다. 본 연구 결과 중년 성인의 혈중 항산화 물질들의 농도는 종류에 따라 성별, 연령별로 유의적인 차이를 나타내었으며, 혈중 지질 수준 및 신체 계측치와도 유의적인 관련성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이러한 상관성의 원인과 의미에 대해서는 향 후 식생활 및 생활습관 등과 관련된 연구를 통해 밝혀져야 할 것이다.
