Abstract

Pine (pinus densiflora) needles have long been used as a traditional health-promoting medicinal food in Korea. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of pine needle extracts on the hepatic antioxidant system in the damaged liver of carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$)-treated rats. Nine-week-old Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups: normal group (NOR), $CCl_4$-treated group (CCL), pine needle hot water extract and $CCl_4$-treated group (CCL-P), and Vitamin C and $CCl_4$-treated group (CCL-V). The enzyme activities and antioxidant effects of the pine needle hot water extracts were investigated at the levels of liver homogenates and serum of rats intoxicated with $CCl_4$. Serum GOT and GPT activities by $CCl_4$ treatment increased compared to those of the NOR group. However, they tended to decrease in the hot water extract-administered group. Liver SOD activity in the CCL group was significantly lower than the NOR group (p<0.05). However, they increased in the CCL-P group compared to the CCL group. Further, the CAT and GPx activities of serum treated with $CCl_4$ were higher compared to those of the NOR group but lower in the CCL-P group compared to CCL group. These results suggest that pine needle hot water extract increases antioxidant activities.

최근 천연 항산화제로 phenolic compound를 함유한 솔잎 추출물에 관심이 많아지고 있다. 사전연구[20]에 의해 높은 항산화 활성 효과가 확인된 적송잎 열수 추출물의 in vivo 차원에서의 항산화 효과를 알아보기 위해 적송잎 열수 추출물을 경구 투여한 흰 쥐에 사염화탄소를 투여하여 간독성을 유발시킨 후 생체 내에 미치는 영향을 혈청 중의 효소활성으로 관찰하였고, 간 조직의 SOD, GPX 및 catalase를 측정하여 항산화 활성에 미치는 영향을 검토 하였다. 혈청 중의 GOT 및 GPT 활성은 사염화탄소를 투여한 대조군이 정상군에 비하여 활성이 증가되었으나, 적송잎 열수 추출물의 투여로 인하여 대조군과 비교하여 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이 수치는 positive control로 사용한 Vit C투여군과 비슷한 활성을 나타내었다. 간 조직 중의 항산화 효소 실험에서 SOD 활성은 사염화탄소를 투여한 대조군이 정상군에 비하여 활성이 감소하였으나, 적송잎 열수 추출물을 투여한 군에서 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 활성이 증가되는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, catalase 활성은 사염화탄소 투여 대조군이 정상군에 비해 활성이 증가하였으나, 적송잎 열수 추출물의 투여군에서 대조군과 비교하여 유의적으로 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. GPx 효소 활성은 사염화탄소 대조군이 정상군에 비해 활성이 증가되었고, 적송잎 추출물을 투여한 군에서는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하는 결과는 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 사염화탄소를 투여하여 간손상을 유도한 흰 쥐의 항산화 효소활성에 적송잎 열수 추출물의 투여가 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 적송잎 열수 추출물이 체내 항산화능 개선에 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.
