Abstract

In this study, the products of Acanthopanax senticosus fermentation were derived from the mycelia of 2 mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum and Phellinus linteus, to determine their safety in Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were orally administered the water extracts of A. senticosus fermentation products with G. lucidum (FM-5111) or P. linteus (FM-5131) at dose levels of 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 g/kg for the single-dose toxicity test and 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0 g/kg for the repeated-dose toxicity test. There were no significant differences in body weight gain, feed intake, or water consumption between control and FM-5111- or FM-5131-treated rats. Hematological and blood biochemistry analysis revealed that none of the investigated parameters were affected by the A. senticosus fermentation products, and no remarkable lesions were observed upon histopathological analysis. We conclude that the A. senticosus fermentation products obtained from mushroom mycelia are safe for long-term administration and could be considered as multi-functional nutrients for the improvement of liver function and immunity.

본 연구에서는 사용된 가시오가피 영지버섯 발효물과 가시오가피 상황버섯 발효물에 대한 열수추출물을 최고 2 g/kg의 농도로 단회 투여한 SD-rats에 체중 변화, 임상증상 등에서 어떠한 독성도 관찰할 수 없었으며, 1 g/kg 이하의 농도로 4주간 반복 투여한 SD-rats에서도 체중변화, 임상증상, 장기 무게, 혈액학적 성상, 혈액생화학적 성상 등에서 어떠한 독성과 비정상적인 소견을 관찰할 수 없었다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과로 볼 때 가시오가피 영지버섯 발효물 열수추출물(FM-5111)과 가시오가피 상황버섯 발효물 열수추출물(FM-5131)은 본 연구에서 사용한 농도 내에서의 안전성을 확인할 수 있었다. 황 함유 아미노산의 결핍은 여러 가지 간질환 등의 증상을 야기한다(27). 또한, Choi와 Ahn(28)은 오가피 부위별 50% (v/v) 메탄올 추출액의 전자공여능은 줄기 추출물에서 90.21%, 뿌리 추출물에서 85.71%로 높은 활성을 보고하여 오가피의 항산화능을 규명하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에 사용된 시료 또한 항산화능과 같은 기능성을 가질것으로 사료되며, 추가 연구로 아미노산 분석을 통해 황 함유 아미노산의 함량 변화를 분석하고 간 기능 개선 효능을 평가하여 안전성이 확보된 기능성 식품소재 개발 연구를 진행할 계획이다.
