This study was conducted to determine whether Mildronate, an analogue of carnitine, influences blood alcohol concentration and hang-over syndrome in rabbits and healthy college male students. In the animal study, ten rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. One hundred mg per 1kg body weight of Mildronate was injected twice into five rabbits before injecting 50% ethanol; the rest of rabbits were injected with saline. The human study was performed with two sections. Each section of the study was conducted by a two-phase cross-over design with a four day wash-out period. All volunteers took Mildronate in one phase, and took a placebo in the next phase. The difference between the two sections was related to the time of taking the Mildronate pill and the amount of alcohol consumed. Blood alcohol concentrations were not significantly different between in those taking Mildronate and in those taking the placebo in both the human and the animal study. However, the concentration of serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST, GOT), the indicator of liver cell damage, was lowered in those taking Mildronate, compared to those taking the placebo. Also, headache and heartburn among hang-over syndrome patients were less severe with Mildronate. In conclusion, taking Mildronate prior to drinking alcohol can somewhat reduce liver cell damage and hang-over syndrome without stimulating alcohol metabolism.

약용식물의 열수 추출물이 in vitro에서 alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)와 aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)의 활성에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 약용식물에 20배의 증류수를 넣고 $80^{\circ}C$에서 8시간 추출하여 얻어진 추출액을 시료로 사용하였다. 50종의 약용식물 중에서 마늘과 육계 추출물이 숙취해소 천연소재로서의 활용 가능성이 가장 높게 나타났다. 마늘 추출물은 ADH에 비해 ALDH의 활성을 2배 이상 촉진시킴으로써 acetaldehyde의 분해가 잘 되게 하였다. 육계 추출물은 ALDH의 활성에 비해 ADH의 활성을 획기적으로 저해함으로써 acetaldehyde의 생성을 크게 억제하였다. 육계 추출물은 농도에 비례하여 ADH와 ALDH의 활성을 저해하였으며, $45.33{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 ADH의 활성을 52.8% 저해하였고 ALDH의 활성을 11.0% 저해하였다.

본 연구는 천연소재 12종의 페놀성 화합물 함량, 라디칼 소거능, 알코올탈수소효소(ADH), 아세트알데히드탈수소효소(ALDH) 활성도를 측정하고 상승효과를 가지도록 배합한 복합물의 숙취해소에 미치는 효과를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 우수한 개별 소재를 선정하고 배합비를 달리하여 효능 평가를 통해, 배합비가 효능에 미치는 상관관계를 분석하였다. 8종의 추출물 중 보이차, 소나무, 갈근 순으로 ADH 활성이 높았고, 갈근은 배합량과 효능 간의 양의 상관관계, 보이차, 소나무 등은 음의 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 8종의 소재로 배합한 F1~F7 을 대상으로 ADH, ALDH 활성평가를 통해 F.7에서 상승효과가 가장 높은 것을 확인하여 최적 배합비로 도출하였다. F.7를 섭취한 시험군에서 알코올 섭취 30분 후부터 호기 알코올 농도가 섭취 직후 호기중 알코올 농도 대비 58%로 유의적으로 감소되기 시작하였고, 120분 후 27%로 호기중 알코올 농도가 감소되었다. 음주 후 발생하는 숙취증상 설문 결과 대조군에 비해 시험군에서 음주 후 발생하는 피곤함과 갈증에서 유의적인 개선효과 (p<0.05)가 있었다.

To investigate an efficacy of mixed extract with Ginseng radix, Puerariae lobata, Puerariae radix, Rubi pructus, Gomi pructus, Hoelen, Dried orange peel and Parvum comus cervi etc., on the hangover elimination, 12 hr-fasted male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 150-200 g were given mixed extract (5 mL/kg, p.o.) and administered ethanol at a dose of 3 g/kg bw (25% in distilled water) orally 30 min postdosing. Blood was collected from caudal artery at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12hr and then the animals were sacrificed at 24hr after the ethanol treatment. In these experiments, liver function indices, such as alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities, showed unaltered results in all treated groups compared with the normal group. The pharmacokinetics of ethanol after oral administration of mixed extract were also evaluated. From 0 min to 12hr, the administration of mixed extract showed 14% reduction of the area under the serum concentrations-versus-time curves (AUC) compared with the control group. The activities of alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase measured at 24hr postdosing were also not altered by the administration of mixed extract compared with the control group. These studies demonstrate that oral administration of mixed extract, prepared by traditional prescription, decreases the ethanol concentration in serum and reduces AUC, suggesting that the mixed extract is effective for elimination of ethanol-induced hangover.

The hepatoprotective effect of liposoluble portion of Pyropia yezoensis (PYLP) was investigated against alcohol-induced liver injury in mice. Fatty acids were predominant in PYLP obtained from hexane fraction of 70% EtOH extract after ultrasonication. In particular, polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid and linoleic acid accounted for 56.91% of the total lipids. PYLP significantly reduced liver damage induced by the alcohol treatment in mice. PYLP treatment increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathion peroxidase by reducing thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Histological observations showed that PYLP minimizes damage to living tissue induced by alcohol treatment by modulating the expression level of proteins involved in the anti-apoptotic signaling pathway. Our results suggest that PYLP, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids extracted from the red alga P. yezoensis, will be useful as a potential liver protectant in the hangover industry.

계피(Cinnamomum cassia Presl)의 열수 추출물은 alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)의 활성을 저해하였고 IC₅₀값은 45.6 ㎍/mL이었다. 계피 추출물의 ADH 저해 성분은 산과 열에 비교적 안정하였으나 휘발성을 가진 물질로 나타났다. 계피에서 ADH 저해 물질의 추출을 위한 최적 온도와 시간은 각각 80 ℃와 2시간이었다. 계피의 정유 성분 중 cinnamaldehyde가 ADH 저해의 주된 물질이었다. Cinnamaldehyde는 기질인 에탄올에 대해 ADH 활성의 경쟁적 저해제로 여겨진다. 따라서 계피 열수 추출물과 cinnamaldehyde는 ADH의 활성을 효과적으로 저해하는 숙취해소 천연소재로서의 활용가능성을 보여주었다.

Objectives : This study investigated the hepatoprotective effects effects of Jageum-jung extract on alcohol-induced liver disease mice model. Methods : Alcoholic liver disease was induced by Ethanol in C57/BL6 male mice, which were fed Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet containing ethanol. Jageum-jung (100,200 and 300 mg/kg bw/day) were orally administered daily in the alcoholic fatty liver disease mice for 16 days. Results : The results indicate that Jageum-jung promotes hepatoprotective effects by significantly reducing aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels as indicators of liver damage in the serum. Furthermore, Jageum-jung decreased accumulation of triglyceride and total cholesterol, increased levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) in the serum of the alcoholic fatty liver disease mice model. Additionally, it improved the serum alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity. Conclusions : This study confirmed the anti-oxidative and hangover elimination effects of Jageum-jung extract, and suggests the possibility of using Jageum-jung to treat alcholic liver disease.

The effect of water dropwort (Oenanthe javanica DC) extract in eliminating ethanol was evaluated in New Zealand white rabbit and ICR mice. When a hot-water extract of water dropwort extract and ethanol was injected into New Zealand white rabbit, the plasma ethanol level was rapidly reduced, similar to metadoxine treatment. Specifically, the n-butanol fraction of hot-water extract was the strongest in eliminating plasma alcohol in ICR mice. When ethanol was orally ingested, administration of the hot-water extract eliminated up to 44% of the plasma ethanol in mice while the n-butanol fraction eliminated around 70%. Alcohol removal behaved in a dose-dependent manner in response to 50-200 mg/kg of n-butanol fraction. These data show O. javanica extract is effective in overcoming alcohol intoxication by the accelerating ethanol metabolism.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Excessive alcohol consumption has harmful health effects, including alcohol hangovers and alcohol-related liver disease. Therefore, methods to accelerate the alcohol metabolism are needed. Laurus nobilis is a spice, flavoring agent, and traditional herbal medicine against various diseases. This study examined whether the standardized aqueous extract of L. nobilis leaves (LN) accelerates the alcohol metabolism and protects against liver damage in single-ethanol binge Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. MATERIALS/METHODS: LN was administered orally to SD rats 1 h before ethanol administration (3 g/kg body weight [BW]) at 100 and 300 mg/kg BW. Blood samples were collected 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h after ethanol administration. The livers were excised 1 h after ethanol administration to determine the hepatic enzyme activity. The alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in the liver tissue were measured. RESULTS: LN decreased the serum ethanol and acetaldehyde levels in ethanol-administered rats. LN increased the hepatic ADH and ALDH activities but decreased the alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase activities in the ethanol-administered rats. In addition, LN inhibited lipid peroxidation and increased the activities of SOD and GPx. CONCLUSIONS: LN modulates the mediators of various etiological effects of excessive alcohol consumption and enhances the alcohol metabolism and antioxidant activity, making it a potential candidate for hangover treatments.
