Abstract

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is an effective regimen that has been found to prevent these diseases in postmenopausal women. However, HRT is accompanied by an increased risk of unfavorable outcomes. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Eisenia Bicyclis extract on lipids in ovariectomized rats. Fifty 7-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups: sham-operated rats (SHAM), ovariectomized rats (OVX-CON), and ovariectomized rats that were treated with Eisenia bicyclis extracts. The extract-treated diets were fed to the rats for 6 weeks after operation. Antioxidant effects were measured by DPPH free radical scavenging activity. Antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract increased in a dose-dependent manner and was about 55.9% in a concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/ml$. We measured the total cholesterol content, triglyceride content, HDL-cholesterol content, LDL-cholesterol content, atherosclerotic index, cardiac risk factor in serum, and anti-platelet aggregation and blood rheology. The total cholesterol and triglyceride concentration in serum increased for the OVX-control group, but supplementation with the E. bicyclis extract caused these factors to decrease. Notably, the serum LDL-cholesterol concentration in the OVX-EB200 group was significantly lower than the OVX-CON group. In addition, the blood passage times in rats that received the E. bicyclis extract were more rapid than the times in the untreated group (OVX-CON). Microscopic evaluation revealed that whole blood passed more smoothly through the microchannels in rats in the E. bicyclis extract supplement groups. Our results clarified the effects of E. bicyclis extract on serum lipid content in ovariectomized rats, and consequently we expect positive effects from providing E. bicyclis extract to postmenopausal women with cardiovascular disease.

갱년기의 여성에는 여러 폐경 증후들이 나타나는데, 특히 에스트로겐의 감소로 인한 혈중의 지질 조성의 변화 등으로 심혈관계 질환의 발병율이 높아지게 된다. 이러한 폐경기의 문제를 감소시키기 위하여 호르몬 보충요법이 사용되고 있으나 유방암, 관상동맥질환 등을 오히려 증가시키는 등의 보고가 있다. 따라서 해조류 중에서 갈조류인 대황 추출물을 이용하여 갱년기 유도 흰쥐의 혈중지질 농도, 혈소판 응집력 및 혈액 유동성을 통하여 그 효과를 검토하고자 하였다. 또한 동물실험에 이용하기 위한 추출물 제조 방법으로는 열수와 에탄올을 이용하는 것이 일반적이므로, 이러한 추출 방법으로 추출물을 제조한 후 항산화 활성을 측정하여 활성이 우수한 추출물을 본 실험에 이용하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 갱년기 유도로 인하여 증가된 혈청 중 중성지방 및 총콜레스테롤 함량은 대황 추출물 투여에 의해 저하되었으며, 특히 대황 추출물 200 mg/kg bw/day 투여는 중성지방 함량을 유의적으로 감소시키는 결과를 나타내었다. AI와 CRF는 난소를 절제한 OVX-CON군이 난소를 절제하지 않은 SHAM군 보다 유의적으로 증가하는 결과가 나타났으나, 대황 추출물의 투여에 의해 유의적으로 감소하였다. 또한 대황추출물의 항 혈전능에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위해, 난소절제로 인하여 혈 중 지질 함량이 증가한 상태에서 washed platelet을 분리하고 콜라겐 2 ${\mu}g$으로 혈소판 응집을 유도하였다. 그 결과 대황 추출물을 투여한 군이 OVX-CON군에 비해 혈소판 응집을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다(Table 5). Amplitude (%)는 난소절제를 한 OVX-CON군이 난소절제를 하지 않은 SHAM군과 비교하여 증가하였으나, 대황 추출물 투여군인 OVX-EB50 및 OVX-EB200군 모두에서 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 난소절제로 인해 OVX-CON군이 비 난소절제군인 SHAM군과 비교하여 Slop이 증가하여 혈소판 응집이 촉진되었으나, 대황 추출물 투여에 의해 감소하였고 특히 OVX-EB50군에서 유의적으로 감소하여 혈소판 응집이 억제되었다. 응집시간을 나타내는 lag time (sec)은 난소절제에 의해 반응이 일어나는 시간이 짧아져, 혈소판 응집이 촉진되는 결과가 나타났다. 이에 반해 대황 추출물 투여군인 OVX-EB50 및 OVX-EB200군에서 응집시간이 지연되었으며, 특히 OVX-EB200군의 경우 정상군인 SHAM군과 같은 응집지연 효과를 보였다. 한편, 대황 추출물이 혈액의 유동성에 미치는 영향에 대한 실험 결과 난소절제에 의해 혈액의 점도가 증가하여 유동성이 저하되었으나, 대황 추출물 투여에 의해 유동성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 대황 추출물이 외부자극으로 인한 혈소판 응집능이나, 점도의 증가로 인한 혈액의 유동성에 효과적인 것으로 보여진다. 따라서 이상과 같이 대황 추출물이 혈중 LDL-콜레스테롤, AI 및 CRF를 감소시키고, 혈액 유동성을 증가시키는 결과로부터 심혈관 질환의 위험율을 저하시킬 수 있는 소재가 될 것으로 기대가 되나, 앞으로 투여량의 범위 및 조절 등의 구체적인 연구가 요구된다.
