초록

본 연구는 누에 분말을 단백질 분해력이 뛰어난 Bacillus subtilis KACC 91157 균주로 발효하여 얻은 발효누에 추출물(BSP)을 식이 중에 각각 1%, 2.5%, 5% 수준으로 첨가하여 알코올 투여와 함께 4주 동안 흰쥐에 급여한 후 알코올성 지방간 개선에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 하였다. 알코올 급여로 인해 증가된 혈중 AST, ALT, ALP 및 LDH 활성은 BSP5군에서 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 발효누에 추출물은 간 조직 및 혈중 중성 지질 농도를 정상 수준으로 회복시켜주고, 간 조직 내 ADH, ALDH 활성 증가에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 조직 내 과산화지질 함량을 측정해본 결과 BSP5군에서 유의적으로 감소시켜주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 간 조직의 병리학적 관찰 결과 알코올 투여 대조군은 간세포 내 지방구의 수와 크기가 증가하였으나 BSP 투여군에서 유의적으로 지방구가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과로 보아 고초균 발효누에 추출물은 알코올성 지방간에 대한 개선효과를 가지는 건강기능식품 소재로서 활용할 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of extracts from silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) that was fermented with Bacillus subtilis KACC 91157 at the levels of 1%(v/w), 2.5%(v/w), and 5%(v/w) in alcohol-fed rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into seven groups: normal group (N), alcohol treated group (C), silymarin treated group (PC, positive control), 5% silkworm powder treated group (SP5), 1% Bacillus subtilis-fermented silkworm powder treated group (BSP1), 2.5% BSP treated group (BSP2.5), and 5% BSP treated group (BSP5). The activities of AST, ALT, ALP, and LDH in the serum and the triglyceride concentrations in the liver and serum were increased by alcohol feeding but were reduced in the BSP5 group. In addition, the contents of total lipids, free fatty acids, and total cholesterol were increased in the alcohol-fed group but were reduced in the BSP5 group. The activities of ADH, ALDH and ADH, ALDH protein levels in the liver were increased in the BSP5 group. The TBARS contents in the liver, serum, liver mitochondria, and liver microsomes were slightly decreased in the BSP5 group compared to the C group. The hepatocytes in alcohol-fed rats contained numerous large droplets; however, BSP5 treatment prevented alcohol-induced lipid droplet accumulation in the hepatocytes. Based on these results, extracts from Bacillus subtilis-fermented silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) have significant potential for development into a functional health food that can improve alcoholic fatty liver conditions.
