Abstract

In this study, the antioxidant effect of Chungkukjang supplementation against memory impairment and oxidative stress in scopolamine (2 mg/kg i.p)-injected mice was investigated. The experimental animals were divided into five groups and fed experimental diets for 12 weeks; normal diet group (C), scopolamine + normal diet group (S), scopolamine + 63.0% soybean Chungkukjang supplementation group (SS), scopolamine + 45.0% Yakkong Chungkukjang supplementation group (SY), and scopolamine + 50.0% black foods such as black rice, black sesame seeds, and sea tangle added Yakkong Chungkukjang group (SYB). For the results of food intake, body weight gain, and brain weights, levels of scopolamine-injected groups were lower than the levels of the control group. The reduced brain weight of the scopolamine-injected group (S) was regulated to control level by supplementation of three types Chungkukjang. In the oxidative stress indicator, nitric oxide and malondialdehyde levels in serum of scopolamine-injected mice were higher than those of other groups. However, supplementation of soybeans, Yakkong and black foods added Yakkong Chungkukjang was proven to regulate them. Antioxidant enzyme activities such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in serum showed no significant differences among the groups. The reduced levels of vitamin A and vitamin E in serum and brain tissue of scopolamine-injected mice were controlled by supplementation of three types of Chungkukjang. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of scopolamine-injected group was lower than those of other groups. However, TAC was significantly elevated by Chunggukjang supplementation. Therefore, antioxidative effects of soybeans, Yakkong, and black foods added Yakkong Chungkukjang supplementations against oxidative stress in scopolamine-injected in mice could expected.

본 연구에서는 기억 손상을 유발하는 scopolamine을 투여한 마우스의 산화적 스트레스에 대하여 12주간 공급시킨 대두 청국장 분말, 약콩 청국장 분말 및 흑미, 흑임자, 다시마를 첨가한 약콩 청국장 분말 식이의 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 그 결과, scopolamine을 투여한 마우스의 뇌 중량은 감소되었으나 세 종류의 청국장 분말의 섭취로 유의하게 호전시킬 수 있었다. Scopolamine의 투여로 인한 산화적 스트레스로 인해 혈청에서 증가된 NO와 MDA 함량은 세 종류의 청국장 분말의 섭취로 감소되었으며, 이러한 결과는 대두, 약콩 및 블랙푸드가 함유된 약콩 청국장 식이는 항산화 작용을 할 것으로 기대된다. 항산화 효소로 혈청에서의 SOD와 GST 활성은 모든 실험군 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 뇌 조직의 SOD 활성은 정상군에 비해 scopolamine을 투여한 모든 실험군에서 p<0.05 수준에서 유의적으로 낮은 활성을 보였으나, GST 활성은 증가되었다. 증가된 GST 활성은 대두, 약콩 및 블랙푸드가 함유된 약콩 청국장 식이 섭취로 조절되었으나, 정상군의 활성 수준에는 미치지 못하였다. Scopolamine의 투여로 낮아진 혈청의 retinol 함량은 약콩 및 블랙푸드가 함유된 약콩 청국장이, 그리고 뇌 조직에서는 대두 및 약콩 청국장 섭취로 높일 수 있었다. 또한 scopolamine의 투여로 낮아진 혈청의 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$과 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ acetate 함량은 블랙푸드가 함유된 약콩 청국장 섭취로 증가를 보임에 따라 블랙푸드가 함유된 청국장이 체내 비타민 E 상태에 대한 보호효과가 기대된다. 뇌 조직의 TAC는 정상군에 비해 scopolamine으로 투여군에서 현저히 낮았으나, 약콩 및 블랙푸드가 함유된 약콩 청국장 섭취로 정상수준으로 TAC를 증가시킬 수 있었다. 따라서 scopolamine의 투여로 증가된 산화적 스트레스에 대하여 대두, 약콩 및 블랙푸드가 함유된 약콩 청국장 분말이 항산화 효과를 보였다. 그러므로 향후 산화적 스트레스에 의한 알츠하이머형 치매의 예방과 관리를 위하여 청국장 이외에 블랙푸드 섭취에 대한 중요성을 강조할 수 있는 근거 자료로 충분한 가치고 있을 것으로 판단된다.
