Abstract

The anti-obese, hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective effects of post-fermented green tea by Monascus pilosus was tested with mice fed with high-fat diet for 7 weeks. The body weight gain and feed efficiency ratio (FER) in normal control group (NC), CHA (2% non-fermented green tea powder supplemented high-fat diet group) and mCHA (2% green tea powder post-fermented by M. pilosus supplemented high fat diet group) groups were significantly lower than those of high fat diet control group (HC). Epididymal fat weight in mCHA and NC were significantly lower than HC. The hepatic lipid peroxide was dramatically higher in HC than that of NC and was significantly lower in CHA and mCHA. In addition, dehydrogenase type activity of xanthine oxidoreductase in HC was lower than that of NC, but significantly higher than CHA and mCHA. In histopathological findings, hepatic fat accumulation in HC was higher than that of NC, CHA and mCHA. Antiobese, hypolipidemic and antifatty liver effect of green tea powder post-fermented by M. pilosus was slightly higher than that of non-fermented green tea. In conclusion, the constituents of green tea fermented by M. pilosus has been proven to not only inhibit obesity and hyperlipidemia but also decrease the hepatic fat accumulation in high fat diet-induced obese mice.

Monascus pilosus로 발효시킨 후 발효 녹차의 첨가식이가 고지방식이 ICR 마우스의 체중과 혈청 지방함량 및 간 조직 항산화계 효소활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 정상대조군(NC), 고지방식이대조군(HC), 비발효녹차 분말을 2% 첨가한 고지방식이군(CHA) 및 M. pilosus로 발효시킨 후발효녹차 분말을 2% 첨가한 고지방식이군(mCHA)으로 구분하여 7주간 사육하였다. 체중은 CHA군과 mCHA군간의 유의적인 차이가 없으나 HC군에 비하여 각각 24.15 및 29.66%가 감소되었으며 식이섭취량에는 차이가 없었다. 체중 당 간 및 신장의 중량은 CHA군 및 mCHA군이 HC군에 비해 증가하였다. 체중 당 부고환주위지방의 무게는 mCHA군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 혈청 TG와 의총콜레스테롤 함량은 mCHA군에서 NC군 수준으로 감소하였다. CHA군과 mCHA군의 HDL-cholesterol 함량은 HC군에 비하여 96.55 및 119.32%가 높았다. CHA군과 mCHA군의 CHA군 및 mCHA군의 LDL-cholesterol 함량은 각각 0.67 및 0.41을 나타내었다. 간 조직의 GSH 함량은 HC군에 비하여 CHA군이 11.24%, mCHA군은 23.68%가 높았다. LPO 함량은 CHA군과 mCHA군이 HC군에 비하여 43.70 및 45.38%가 낮았다. CHA군과 mCHA군의 xanthine oxidoreductase D type 효소활성은 HC군에 비하여 각각 18.52 및 33.33%가 감소하였으며 mCHA군은 NC군 수준으로 높았다. XOD O type 효소활성은 CHA군과 mCHA군이 HC군에 비하여 각각 16.67 및 33.33%가 높았다. superoxide dismutase 활성은 CHA군과 mCHA군이 HC군에 비하여 유의차는 없었다. mCHA군의 glutathione S-transferase 활성은 HC군에 비하여 유의적으로 높았으며 특히, mCHA군의 glutathione peroxidase 활성은 HC군의 2.55배, CHA군의 1.5배로 높았으며 NC군과 대등하였다. CHA군과 mCHA군의 ALT 활성 HC군에 비하여 현저하게 낮았다. 간 조직의 현미경 관찰결과, CHA군과 mCHA군에서는 간 세포 내 축적된 지방의 크기가 작은 포말형으로 변화되고, 이로 인해 간 세포판과 동양혈관 형성이 간 소엽단위로 뚜렷하게 구분되었다. 이상의 실험결과로 보아 M. pilosus로 발효시킨 후발효 녹차는 고지방식이에 의해 유발되는 비만과 고지혈증 및 지방간을 예방 혹은 경감시켜줄 수 있는 유효한 가능성을 시사하였다.
