Abstract

We evaluated the bioavailability of a novel organic Ca supplement chelated with milk protein (CaMP) in growing rats and compared it with those of Ca carbonate and Ca citrate. Four-week-old male rats were divided into six groups (n=6/group) and fed AIN-93G-based experimental diets containing three Ca sources, Ca carbonate, Ca citrate, and CaMP at two levels, normal (0.5%, w/w) and high (1.5%, w/w), for 6 weeks. Growth, mineral contents of serum, Ca content and breaking force of femur, and Ca absorption were measured. There were no significant differences in weight gain or food intake, but food efficiency ratio (FER) of CaMP in the high Ca group was higher than those of other groups. Ca and P concentrations in serum were within normal range in all experimental rats. There was no difference in Ca content of the femur among all of the groups. Although there was no statistical significance in bone breaking force of the femur among the groups, the CaMP groups had a higher breaking force compared to other groups. Further, Ca absorption rate significantly increased in the CaMP groups (p<0.05). These results demonstrate that the CaMP supplement did not exhibit any negative effect on growth or Ca metabolism of the rats. Therefore, CaMP can be recommended as a good Ca supplement with regard to bone metabolism and Ca bioavailability.

본 연구는 유청 단백질과 칼슘이 킬레이트된 새로운 유기태 칼슘을 탄산칼슘 및 구연산칼슘과 비교하여 새로운 칼슘의 급원으로서 그 효능을 평가하고자 수행되었다. 실험은 4주령 된 수컷 흰쥐(Sprague-Dawley) 36마리를 6개의 실험군(n=6/group)으로 설정하고, 칼슘의 섭취 수준에 따라 정상칼슘(0.5%) 및 고칼슘 수준(1.5%)으로 나누고, 칼슘의 급원을 탄산칼슘, 구연산 칼슘, 유기태 칼슘으로 하여 6주간 실험식이를 급여 후 희생시켰다. 실험동물의 성장, 혈청의 칼슘과 인의 농도, ALP 활성, 간기능 지표(GOT, GPT, T-bilirubin)와 신기능 지표(creatinine, uric acid), 간과 신장의 칼슘 및 인의 함량, 대퇴골의 무게, 길이, 파단력, 회분량, 칼슘 및 인의 함량, 칼슘의 체내 이용성 등을 측정하였다. 그 결과 유기태 칼슘의 수준별 섭취는 대조군과 비교하여 체중 증가와 식이섭취량에서 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 식이효율은 고칼슘 수준에서 유기태 칼슘군이 다른 군에 비해 좋은 결과를 나타냈다. 유기태 칼슘군의 혈청 칼슘 및 인의 농도는 대조군과 마찬가지로 성장기 정상 범위에 속하였으며, 혈청 ALP의 활성은 유기태 칼슘군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하여(p<0.05) 성장기 흰쥐의 골격 대사에 긍정적인 영향을 준 것으로 보였다. 혈액의 간기능 지표인 GOT와 GPT의 활성은 정상 및 고칼슘 수준에서 유기태 칼슘군이 탄산칼슘군보다 감소되었고, T-bilirubin의 농도는 유기태 고칼슘군에서 유의적으로 낮아졌다(p<0.05). 신기능 지표인 creatinine과 uric acid의 농도는 모두 정상 범위 내에 있었다. 간과 신장의 칼슘 함량은 정상 및 고칼슘 수준에서 유기태 칼슘군이 탄산칼슘군보다 낮아서 조직 내 칼슘의 침착정도가 낮았다. 대퇴골의 무게는 정상 칼슘 수준에서 각 군별 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 고칼슘수준에서 유기태 칼슘군이 구연산 칼슘군에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 체중 당 대퇴골의 무게, 길이 및 파단력은 칼슘의 급원에 따라 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 하지만 유기태 칼슘군은 대조군 보다 칼슘의 흡수율이 증가하여 체내 이용률이 높았다. 본 연구에 사용한 유기태 칼슘은 성장, 혈액 지표에 있어서 탄산칼슘과 대등한 효과를 보였으며, ALP 활성 및 칼슘의 생체 이용률 측면에서 더 우수한 결과를 나타냈다. 따라서 유기태 칼슘은 새로운 칼슘 보충제로서의 그 이용 가능성이 매우 클 것으로 사료된다.
