Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effects of extracts of fermented Angelica gigas Nakai (A. gigas) with a Monascus purpureus strain on anti-obesity in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity rat model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into seven dietary groups (n=8 per group), as follows: a normal diet group (N) and six HFD groups (C: control, HFD and no treatment; AG: HFD +10% A. gigas extracts; FAG2.5: HFD +2.5% fermented A. gigas extracts; FAG5: HFD +5% fermented A. gigas extracts; FAG10: HFD +10% fermented A. gigas extracts; GC: HFD + Garcinia cambogia extracts). FAG-fed rats exhibited effectively lowered rates of increasing body weight and visceral fat accumulation in the HFD-induced obesity model. The activities of several hepatic marker enzymes, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), were increased with HFD-induced obesity, but levels of these marker enzymes were significantly decreased in FAG-fed rats. The consumption of FAG reduced triglyceride concentrations in serum to normal levels. FAG-fed rats showed effectively increased leptin concentrations in the HFD-induced obesity model. HFD ingestion induced a significant increase in the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels, which was decreased in FAG-fed rats. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and Oil Red O staining of the liver showed that the lipid deposits were decreased via FAG feeding. Moreover, hematoxylin and eosin staining of epididymal adipose adipose tissue showed that the adipocyte were decreased by feeding FAG.

고지방 식이 유도 비만 흰쥐에 Monascus purpureus균주로 발효시킨 참당귀 추출물을 식이에 첨가하였을 때 나타나는 체중 및 내장지방의 감소, 혈중 및 조직 내 중성지질 및 과산화지질 수준에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. FAG섭취로 인해 체중증가 및 내장지방 축적 비율을 효과적으로 낮추었으며, 간 기능 지표로 활용되는 혈중 AST, ALT, LDH 및 ALP 활성 변화는 정상 수치와 비슷한 수준으로 감소되었다. FAG를 섭취함으로서 혈중 중성지질 농도가 정상 수준으로 감소하였으며, 혈중 leptin 호르몬 함량 또한 정상 수치와 비슷한 수준으로 증가하였다. 고지방 식이 섭취로 인한 각 조직 과 혈청 내 과산화지질(TBARS)을 측정한 결과 고지방 식이만 섭취한 C군에 비해 각 실험군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 특히 FAG10군에서 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었다. Hematoxylin과 eosin 염색 및 Oil red O 염색을 통해 FAG를 섭취함에 따라 간장 내 지질침착도의 감소를 확인였으며, 부고환 주변 지방 조직의 hematoxylin과 eosin 염색으로 지방세포의 크기가 감소되었음을 확인하였다.
