This study examined the antioxidant activity and lipid composition of rats fed a high fat-high cholesterol diet containing Salvia plebeia water extract. Three levels (50 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg) of Salvia plebeia water extract were administered to seven weeks old male Sprague Dawley rats for four weeks. The activity of glutathione peroxidase in serum was high in all groups that received the Salvia plebeia water extract (p<0.05). The glutathione reductase activity was high (p<0.05) in groups that received 50 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg of Salvia plebeia water extract. When rats received Salvia plebeia water extract, the content of MDA (malondialdehyde) in the serum and liver was low in all groups. In addition, the serum total lipid, triglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol contents decreased significantly (p<0.05). Total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the liver were significantly lower in the group that received the Salvia plebeia water extract than in the control group (p<0.05). Salvia plebeia water extract improves lipid metabolism and it almost meets with the increase of antioxidant activity and peroxide formation reduction. Based on these results, supplemented of a high fat-hypercholesterol diet with Salvia plebeia can increase antioxidant activity and depress peroxide formation in serum, as well as liver cholesterol and triglycerides.

Effects of fermented milk were tested in Sprague-Dawley male rats. In six treatment 150 rats were fed for 12 months: (1) normal control synthetic pellets+water, (2) cholesterol control synthetic pellets containing 1% of cholesterol and 500, 000 IU of vitamin D2/100 g (cholesterol pellets) +water, (3) cholesterol pellets+25% fermented milk, (4) cholesterol pellets+50% fermented milk, (5) cholesterol pellets+75% fermented milk, (6) cholesterol pellets+100% fermented milk. In 3, 6, 9, 12 months, rats were sacrificed for analysis of samples. Rats received the fermented milk had significantly lower (p<0.05) serum cholesterol levels and higher ratios of HDL-cholesterol to total cholesterol than did the water fed rats. Stomach, heart, abdominal aorta and kidney of rat from fermented milk group showed slighter calcification or necrosis than did those of rat from cholesterol control group. Weight gain, diet intake, and drink consumption were significantly different among groups. Results indicate that fermented milk had a helpful effect of experimental hypercholesteremia and atherosclerosis.

Effects of water-soluble extract from roasted-chicory root on the cholesterol metabolism in rats fed cholesterol diet were investigated. Sprague-Dawley rats received a hypercholesterolemic diets without (control group) or with 5.0% water-soluble extract from roasted chicory root for 2 weeks. Roasted chicory extract group showed significantly higher body weight gain and food intake compared with the control group. The concentrations of total cholesterol and LDL+VLDL cholesterol in serum were significantly lower in rats fed roasted chicory extract diet. However, HDL-cholesterol concentration, and atherogenic index were not significantly affected by the dietary roasted chicory extract. Fecal net weight, fecal cholesterol, and bile acid excretion were significantly higher in the chicory extract group. The results suggest that the hypocholesterolemic effect in rats fed roasted chicory extract may be caused by an alteration in the absorption of cholesterol by an increase in the fecal excretion of cholesterol and bile acid.

This experiment was conducted for 4 weeks to compare the feeding values of dried meal of Russian Comfrey and Kale as green feeds with Acacia leaf meal and Ladino clover meal, and to investigate the effects of feeding these on the total cholesterol in blood serum and liver fat content. Seventy-five male chicks of Single Comb White Leghorn were allotted into 5 treatments. Fifteen birds in each treatment were received Russian Comfrey meal, Kale meal, Acasia leaf meal, Ladino clover meal or no dried meal, respectively. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. No significant differences were recognized between the treatments and control in the growth rate, feed consumption, feed efficiency, utilization of nutrients, nitrogen retention and metabolizable energy value. 2. Carotene content in Russian Comfrey and Kale has been decreased as the growing stage advanced, and the leaves of both vegetable contained significantly (p<0.01) more carotene than that in stems. Vitamin C content of leaves was also signifcantly (p<0.01) higher than that in stems, however, vitamin C content has been increased as the growing stage advanced. 3. Toltal cholesterol content in blood serum of the chickens fed the Acacia leaf meal or Russian Comfrey meal was significantly (p<0.05) lower than Ladino clover meal fed group or those received no green feeds. Kale seems to decrease cholesterol content a little. Above results indicated that Acacia leaf and Russian Comfrey might contain certain substances that would depressing the cholesterol content. 4. No significant differences in the liver fat were discovered among the treatment but it was observed that liver fat was decreased as the cholesterol content increased.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid on body weight and lipid profiles in Sprague-Dawley rats fed a high fat diet (HFD). After 4 weeks of feeding, rats on the HFD were divided into three groups by randomized block design; the first group received the high-fat-diet (n = 10), and the second group received the HFD administered with 0.25% ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid (0.25LA), and the third group received the high-fat diet with 0.5% ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid (0.5LA). The high fat diet with ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid supplemented groups had significantly inhibited body weight gain, compared to that in the HFD group (P < 0.05). Organ weights of rats were also significantly reduced in liver, kidney, spleen, and visible fat tissues in rats supplemented with ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid (P < 0.05). Significant differences in plasma lipid profiles, such as total lipids, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein, were observed between the HFD and 0.5LA groups. The atherogenic index and the plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio improved significantly with ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid supplementation in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). Total hepatic cholesterol and total lipid concentration decreased significantly in high fat fed rats supplemented with ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05), whereas liver triglyceride content was not affected. In conclusion, ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid supplementation had a positive effect on weight gain and plasma and liver lipid profiles in rats.

고지혈증은 체내 지질대사에 이상이 생겨 혈중의 지질이 비정상적으로 높아진 상태로서, 지질이 필요 이상으로 혈액내 존재하게 되면 혈관벽에 쌓이고 굳어지게 되면서 동맥경화증, 고혈압, 뇌졸중 등의 심혈관계 질환을 일으키기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 고콜레스테롤 식이로 고지혈증을 유도한 생쥐의 동물모델에서 복분자 추출물의 유효성분인 protocatechuic acid(PCA)를 경구 투여하여 PCA의 간손상 보호 효과와 지질 대사함량 변화를 분석함으로써 PCA의 고지혈증 치료에 대한 유의적인 임상 효과를 제시하였다. PCA의 투여는 고콜레스테롤 식이에 의한 간무게 증가, 비장무게의 증가, 흉선의 위축, 신장의 위축 등 장기무게변화에 대하여 회복 효과를 보였고, 혈청 내 간세포 손상 마커 GPT 및 GOT의 회복 효과를 나타내었으며, 혈청 내 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, HDL, LDL의 지질대사산물의 profile에서도 유의적인 회복효과를 보였다. 특히, PCA의 투여군에서는 혈중 HDL의 농도를 정상식이군 수준으로 높이고, LDL의 농도를 크게 낮추는 효과를 나타냄으로써 HDL/LDL의 균형유지에 역할을 나타내는 것으로 보이며 이러한 효과는 simvastatin의 HDL/LDL 조절 효과와는 다른 패턴을 보이고 있다. 따라서 PCA는 단독으로 고지혈증 치료의 기능성 소재로써의 개발 가능성뿐만 아니라, 합성의약품 simvastatin 등의 스타틴계 약물의 보조제로써의 개발 가능성을 제시한다.

This study was designed to investigate the antihyperlipidemic activity of aqueous extracts of Kyeongokgo (KOG), Kyeongokgo Dansambang (KDB), and Kyeongokgo Gamibang (KGB) on the hyperlipidemic rats induced by high-fat diet. The animals were divided into 4 groups of the hyperlipidemic control group, the KOG-fed group, the KDB-fed group and the KGB-fed group, and received oral administration of each prescription with diet for a period of six weeks. The changes in the body weight, the amount of food intake, the liver weight, the epididymal fat weight, and the plasma levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were measured. In all experimental groups, the weight of liver and epididymal fat decreased significantly. There was a significant decrease in the amount of food intake, the weight of liver and epididymal fat, the plasma level of total cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol in the KDB-fed and the KGB-fed groups. In addition, KGB-fed group represented a significant decrease in the triglyceride. These results suggest that the aqueous extracts of Kyeongokgo Dansambang and Kyeongokgo Gamibang have a good antihyperlipidemic activity and a potential to treat hyperlipidemia.
