초록

본 연구는 추출물 형태에 따른 파프리카 첨가 식이가 고콜레스테롤 식이 흰쥐의 혈청 지질과 $\alpha$-tocopherol 농도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 Sprague-Dawley 수컷 25마리를 대조군(NC), 고콜레스테롤군(HC), 고콜레스테롤+동결건조 파프리카 분말 섭취군(HC-FDP), 고콜레스테롤+파프리카 물 추출물 섭취군(HC-WEP), 고콜레스테롤+파프리카 에탄올 추출물 섭취군(HC-EEP)으로 나누어 실험 식이를 6주간 공급하였다. 6주 후 HC군과 파프리카 급여군에서 체중 증가는 각각 85.2%와 65.5~68.88%로 HC군에서 체중이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 그리고 내장지방 무게는 HC군보다 파프리카 급여군에서 감소하였으며, 파프리카 급여군의 중성지질, 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤과 atherogenic index 역시 HC군보다 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 그리고 파프리카 급여군들 중에서는 HC-EEP 군이 혈청지질농도 감소 효과가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 혈청 $\alpha$-tocopherol 농도는 HC-EEP에서 $30.5{\pm}0.6\;{\mu}mol/{\ell}$로 가장 높았고, 그 다음으로는 HC-WEP($30.0{\pm}0.8\;{\mu}mol/{\ell}$)>HC-FDP($29.1{\pm}0.5\;{\mu}mol/{\ell}$)>HC($27.7{\pm}0.3\;{\mu}mol/{\ell}$)이었다. 이는 고콜레스테롤 식이에 의한 산화적 스트레스를 감소시키기 위하여 혈청 $\alpha$-tocopherol이 소모되는 것을 파프리카 급여로 절약하는 효과를 나타낸 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 파프리카는 혈중 지질 농도 저하 효과를 보였고, $\alpha$-tocopherol 절약 작용을 통해 체내 항산화제로서 활용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In conclusion, rats were fed diets containing either NC, HC, HC-FDP, HC-WEP, or HC-EEP for 6 weeks. At the 6th week, increases in body weight and visceral fat were lower in the paprika fed groups as compared to the HC group. Serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and atherogenic index values were significantly lower in the paprika diet fed groups than the HC group (p<0.05). In particular, the lipid lowering effects in the HC-EEP group were superior among the paprika fed groups. Also, serum $\alpha$-tocopherol levels were lower in the control group compared to the paprika fed groups. The supplementation of paprika may exert lipid lowering effects and saving effect of $\alpha$-tocopherol in the serum of high-cholesterol diet fed rats. However, it should be noted that the results are based on very small sample numbers and a short experimental period.
