This study was carried out to examine the association of age, nutrient intake, alcohol drinking and smoking on serum lipid and apolipoprotein levels in 100 healthy adults (54 males and 46 females). The serum total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (p<0.05), apolipoprotein B (Apo B) levels, LDL-C:high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, Apo B:apolipoprotein(Apo A-I) ratio and atherogenic index (AI) (p<0.001) were significantly higher in males than females, but HDL-cholesterol level was significantly lower (p<0.01) in males than females. The plasma ascorbic acid concentration had no difference in both genders. Most of nutrient intakes except Ca, vitamin A and vitamin $B_2$ were higher than RI (Recommended intake) in both males and females. The meal frequency per day was significantly higher (p<0.01) in males than females, while meal speed, the heaviest meal, meal quantity and meal regularity had no significant differences. The rates of drinking and smoking were significantly higher (p<0.01) in males (59.3%, 37.2%) than females (17.3%, 6.9%). The age was positively correlated with triglyceride level in males (p<0.05), and with total cholesterol (p<0.001), LDL-cholesterol (p<0.001), Apo B (p<0.01), LDL-C:HDL-C ratio (p<0.01), Apo B:Apo A-I ratio (p<0.05) and AI (p<0.01) in females. The levels of serum lipid and apolipoprotein were more correlated with protein intake than other macronutrient intakes in males, while those in females were more correlated energy, carbohydrate and lipid intakes than protein intake. The effect of drinking on serum lipid and apolipoprotein levels was bigger in males than females, while the effect of smoking on those was bigger in females than males. The plasma ascorbic acid concentration was positively correlated with HDL-cholesterol (p<0.05), Apo A-I levels (p<0.001), whereas negatively correlated with Apo B:Apo A-I ratio (p<0.05) in males. And that was positively correlated with HDL-cholesterol (p<0.05) in females. These results suggest that moderate macronutrient intake, less alcohol consumption and non-smoking were necessary to maintain healthy lipid profile with aging in adults.

The purpose of this study was investigating serum lipid, apolipoprotein levels and their correlations in healthy adults of Gyeongnam area. The BMI (body mass index) was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in male (25.2 ${\pm}$ 2.7 $kg/m^2$) than female (23.8 ${\pm}$ 1.5 $kg/m^2$), however PBF (percent body fat) was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in female (29.6 ${\pm}$ 4.3%) than male (22.7 ${\pm}$ 5.0%). The WHR (waist to hip ratio) and blood pressure in the groups showed there was no significant differences. The levels of serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B were significantly higher (p < 0.01) in male (208.7 ${\pm}$ 27.7 mg/dl, 129.0 ${\pm}$ 26.9 mg/dl, 1.0 ${\pm}$ 0.2 g/L) than female (193.6 ${\pm}$ 29.1 mg/dl, 112.5 ${\pm}$ 29.5 mg/dl, 0.9 ${\pm}$ 0.2 g/L, but HDL-cholesterol level was significantly higher (p < 0.01) in female (54.9 ${\pm}$ 6.6 mg/dl) than male (49.9 ${\pm}$ 7.3 mg/dl). The LDL-C/HDL-C, Apo B/Apo A-I and AI (atherogenic index) were significantly higher (p < 0.001) in male (2.6 ${\pm}$ 0.6, 0.8 ${\pm}$ 0.2, 3.3 ${\pm}$ 0.7) than female (2.1 ${\pm}$ 0.5, 0.6 ${\pm}$ 0.2, 2.6 ${\pm}$ 0.5). The triglyceride level was positively correlated with apolipoprotein B concentration (p < 0.05) and negatively correlated with HDL-cholesterol concentration (p < 0.05), however no significant correlation was found with apolipoprotein A-I. According to these results, we conclude that male adults are expecting higher incidence of cardiovascular disease than female adults and we suggest the serum triglyceride should be kept normal level for the prevention of these diseases.

This study was designed to observe the effects of Korean mistletoe(Viscum album L. var. coloratum Ohwi) hot-water extract administration on the improvement on the lipid components, apolipoprotein and blood pressure level in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, Wistar strain, male) fed the experimental diets for 33 days. Concentrations of total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), LDL-cholesterol, free cholesterol and atheroscieotic index in serum were significantly lower in the Korean mistletoe extract administration group [group KM(Korean mistletoe 10.0 g% hot-water extract)] than those in the control group. In the ratio of HDL-cholesterol concentration Korean mistletoe 10.0% hot-water extract administration group were higher percentage than in the control group. However, concentrations of total cholesterol and TG in liver and brain were significantly lower in the group KM than those in the control group. But the components of apolipoprotein (Apo) A-I and Apo A-II in serum were significantly higher in the KM group than in the control group. However, components of Apo C-II, Apo C-III, Apo E and ratio of Apo B to Apo A-I in serum were fairly reduced in the group KM than in the control group. The levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower in KM cup than control group. From these results, Korean mistletoe hot-water extract administration were effective on the improvement of the lipid components, coronary heart disease and hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats. And particularly, Korean mistletoe extract administration were more effective as a therapeutic regimen for the control of blood pressure in hypertension.

야생 돌복숭아(Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Max.)의 생리활성 추출물질이 선천성 고혈압 흰쥐(SHR)의 지질대사 이상 및 고혈압 예방과 개선효과 등에 생리생화학적 효능이 있을 것으로 추정되어 Wistar 계 수컷 SHR을 사용하여, 기본식이와 물만을 급여한 대조군인 Control군과 SHR에 돌복숭아 5.0g% 추출액을 급여한 군(5g% Ex.군) 및 SHR에 돌복숭아 10.0g% 추출액을 섭취시킨 10g% Ex.군을 33일간 실험 사육하여 혈청 지질성분 및 혈압 저하 효과를 생리적 측면에서 검토하기 위하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. 혈청 중의 총 콜레스테롤 농도, 중성지방, LDL-콜레스테롤, 유리 콜레스테롤 및 동맥경화지수 등에서 돌복숭아 생리활성물질 5.0g%, 10.0g% 추출액을 섭취시킴으로서 유의적인 농도 등의 감소 효과를 보였으며, HDL-콜레스테롤 농도 및 총 콜레스테롤에 대한 HDL-콜레스테롤 비는 상승되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 간장 및 뇌 중의 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방 농도는 돌복숭아 5.0g%, 10.0g% 추출액을 섭취시킨 군에서 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 혈청 apolipoprotein(Apo) A-I, Apo A-II 농도 등은 돌복숭아 5.0g%, 10.0g% 추출액을 섭취시킨 군에서 유의적으로 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Apo C-II, Apo C-III, Apo E 및 Apo A-I에 대한 Apo B의 농도 비는 감소되었으며, 혈압의 변화는 SHR에 돌복숭아 5.0g% 및 10.0g% 추출액을 섭취시킴으로서 혈압이 저하됨을 관찰할 수가 있었다. 돌복숭아 5.0g% 농도(5g% Ex.군)와 10.0g% 농도(10g% Ex.군)의 추출액 섭취에 따른 두 군간에 각종 지질성분과 apolipoprotein 분획 농도 및 혈압 변화의 비교는 유의적인 차이는 없었다 따라서 야생 돌복숭아 중의 생리활성물질 추출액 섭취가 선천성 고혈압 흰쥐에 대한 혈청 지질개선 및 심장순환기계 질환, 고혈압의 예방과 치료개선에 효과가 있을 것으로 생각된다.
