Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop hydroponic-cultured ginseng vinegar (HGV) containing ginsenoside Rg2 in order to its anti-obesity and anti-hyperlipidemic effects in C57BL/6J mice. HGV was prepared by two-stage fermentation. The ginsenoside Rg2 contained in acetic acid-fermented HGV increased by 4.0 times compared to that in pre-fermented HGV. To measure the anti-obesity effect of HGV, thirty two mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal diet group (ND), high-fat diet group (HFD), high-fat diet-supplemented with HGV group (HGV), and high-fat diet-supplemented with green tea extract group (GT). Body weight, fat weight, and liver weight decreased in the HGV group. The HGV group also showed lower plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and triglycerides, and higher levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol compared to the corresponding levels in the HFD group. Furthermore, there were significant decreases in plasma aspartase aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in the HGV group compared to the corresponding levels in the HFD group. These results suggest that HGV can be used as an anti-obesity therapeutic agent or functional ingredient.

본 연구에서는 수경재배 인삼의 전초를 이용하여 식초를 제조하여 진세노사이드의 패턴 및 함량 변화를 확인하고자 하였으며, 고지방 식이로 유도된 비만 쥐에 수경재배 인삼 식초를 투여하여 체중, 체지방 및 지질대사를 분석함으로써 항비만 식품으로서 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 수경재배 인삼으로 식초 제조 시 산도는 $5.60{\pm}0.24%$이었으며, 초산 발효 과정에서 진세노사이드 Re가 감소하고 진세노사이드 Rg2가 약 4배 수준 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 수경재배 인삼 식초의 항비만 효과를 확인하기 위해 4주령 C57BL/6J mice에 고지방 식이를 투여하면서 수경재배 인삼 식초 및 녹차추출물을 8주간 투여하였다. 실험식이 종료 후 체중 변화를 비교한 결과 수경재배 인삼초투여군(HGV) 및 녹차추출물투여군(GT)은 고지방식이군(HFD)과 비교하여 유의적인 체중감소효과가 관찰되었다. 체성분 분석결과 복부지방 및 피하지방의 함량이 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 개복 후 복부 주위의 지방을 적출하여 무게 측정 시 고지방식이군(HFD)과 비교하여 수경재배 인삼초투여군(HGT) 및 녹차추출물 투여군(GT)은 각각 85.5, 83.3% 낮아진 것으로 확인되었다. 혈중지질프로파일 분석 결과 수경재배 인삼초투여군(HGV) 및 녹차추출물투여군(GT)은 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤, LDL 콜레스테롤이 고지방식이군(HFD)과 비교하여 유의적으로 낮아졌으며, HDL 콜레스테롤이 증가된 것으로 확인되었다. 고지방 식이에 의한 간 독성을 관찰하기 위해 AST 및 ALT 효소 활성을 측정하였으며, 수경재배 인삼초투여군(HGV)은 고지방식이군(HFD)과 비교하여 각각 67.3, 75.1%, 녹차추출물투여군(GT)은 각각 68.4, 75.1% 감소 효과가 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 수경재배 인삼으로 식초 제조 시 흡수율이 우수한 proginseonside Rg2의 함량이 증가되어 생리활성 강화 효과를 기대할 수 있으며, 체지방 축적을 억제하고 혈청 지질 조성을 개선시킴으로써 항비만 식품소재로 가치가 있을 것으로 생각된다.
