Abstract

Ginsenosides are major constituents of ginseng and are known to be responsible for its pharmacological properties. This study aimed to investigate the detoxification effect of a mixture containing black red ginseng powder, red ginseng extract, Puerariae radix extract, and Hovenia dulcis extract, on SD (Sprague Dawley) rats treated with 30% ethanol. Thirty minutes before treatment, the animals were orally administered different concentrations of the mixture or water. Results revealed that the concentration of ethanol in blood serum was significantly decreased in the black red ginseng mixture treated group in a dose-dependent manner, as compared with that of the control group. The blood level of acetaldehyde increased until 1 hr after alcohol administration, but the levels rapidly decreased later. Furthermore, ADH and ALDH activities in the hepatic tissue were also increased in the black red ginseng mixture administered group, than in the control group. These results indicate that the black red ginseng mixture has the ability of decomposing alcohol by increasing the ADH and ALDH activities responsible for alcohol metabolism.

본 시험은 흑홍삼이 함유된 혼합물의 숙취해소효능을 확인하기 위해 수행하였다. 효소원을 이용한 혼합 재료들 간의 ADH와 ALDH의 활성은 시중에 판매되고 있는 타사 비교군에 비해 현저히 높은 값을 보였다. 그리고 알코올을 투여하여 숙취를 유도한 시험동물의 혈중 에탄올의 양과 아세트알데히드의 양을 측정하여 생체 내 알코올 분해효능을 평가한 결과, 흑홍삼혼합물을 섭취한 군에서 알코올 투여 1시간 후부터 에탄올의 양은 숙취유도군에 비해 월등히 낮았으며, 시간이 지날수록 농도 의존적으로 에탄올의 양이 감소하였다. 주요 숙취 증상을 야기하는 아세트알데히드의 양은 숙취유도군에서 시간이 지날수록 증가한 반면, 흑홍삼혼합물 섭취군은 알코올 섭취 1시간 후부터 증가하였다가 시간이 지날수록 빠르게 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 흑홍삼혼합물이 알코올분해효소의 활성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 간 조직을 분리해 ADH와 ALDH의 활성을 측정한 결과, 흑홍삼혼합물을 섭취한 군이 타사 비교군에 비해 높은 활성을 보임을 확인하였다. 이상의 시험결과로 보아 흑홍삼 혼합음료는 혈중 에탄올의 흡수를 지연시킬 뿐 아니라, ADH와 ALDH의 활성을 증가시켜 혈중 에탄올과 아세트알데히드의 농도를 효과적으로 감소시켜 숙취해소 음료로 이용이 가능하리라 기대된다.
