These works were designed to examine the effects of dietary fiber sources and levels on lipid metabolism in rats fed high lard diet. Rats were divided into three($\alpha$-cellulose, polydextrose, carrageenan) groups and were fed with containing 6% fiber diet. Serum, liver and fecal lipid contents were examined after four weeks of dieting. Also, in order to investigate whether hypocholesterolemic effect of dietary fiber at 4 weeks is continued at 8 weeks, rats were fed with diets containing same sources with different levels of each dietary fiber and were sacrificed after eight weeks of dieting. Serum cholesterol in rats fed carrageenan diet and polydextrose diet were reduced compared with $\alpha$-cellulose-fed group at both four and eight weeks dieting. Liver cholesterol in both polydextrose-fed and carrageenan-fed group were lower than $\alpha$-cellulose-fed group. Fecal total group were increased compared with $\alpha$-cellulose-fed group. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between polydextrose-fed and carrageenan-fed group. On the basis of the results, it was suggested that the hypocholesterolemic effect of soluble fiber used in this study (polydextrose, carageenan) on rats was due to the inhibition of cholesterol absorption on the intestinal lumen and acceleration of cholesterol catabolism in the liver and enhancement of bile acids excretion. On the other hand, insoluble fiber($\alpha$-cellulose) showed no hypo-cholesterolemic effect.

We have previously demonstrated that kudzu root extracts have a hypocholesterolemic effect on rats fed diets high in fat and cholesterol. To further elucidate the mechanism involved, in this study we investigated the effect of water extracts of kudzu root, Pueraria radix, on the production of apolipoprotein B$_{100}$ (APo B$_{100}$) in HepG$_2$ liver cells and secretion of apolipoprotein B$_{48}$ (Apo B$_{48}$) in Caco$_2$ cells. Human cell lines, HepG$_2$ liver cells and Caco$_2$ intestinal epithelial cells, were grown with various concentrations (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%) of water extracts of kudzu root in the media. The kudzu root extract decreased Apo B$_{100}$ production and secretion. Treatment of HeP G$_2$ cells with the kudzu root extract also significantly decreased the intracellular total and free cholesterol concentration, and also decreased esterified cholesterol but was only significant at the highest dose of 2%. Apo B$_{48}$ production, but not secretion, from enterocytes was lowered by the kudzu root extracts. This research provided evidence that the hypocholesterolemic properties of kudzu root may be a consequence of decreased production and secretion of Apo B$_{100}$ in the liver and Apo B$_{48}$ in the intestine.

The objective of this study is to find the effect of improving hyperlipidemia through Platycodi radix saponin. A hypercholoesterol diet and Platycodi radix saponin methanol extract were supplemented to the 6 week old male Spargue Dawley rats for four weeks. Results showed that the serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol level decreased in the group supplemented with Platycodi radix saponin methanol extract(p<0.05), however, the serum total lipid and HDL-cholesterol did not show any difference from the control group according to the supplement of Platycodi radix saponin methanol extract. In the group supplemented with Platycodi radix saponin methanol extract, the total cholesterol decreased by 20%, triglyceride by 36% and LDL-cholesterol by 25% respectively, and there was no difference according to the level of Platycodi radix saponin methanol extract. AI(atherogenic index) and CRF(cardiac risk factor) were low in the group supplemented with Platycodi radix saponin methanol extract. Total lipid, total cholesterol and triglyceride in liver and feces were significantly low in the group supplemented with the Platycodi radix saponin methanol extract compared with the control group(p<0.05). According to this result, it is expected that the Platycodi radix saponin methanol extract supplemented in the hypercholesterol diet can lower atherosclerosis, the cause of cardiovascular disease, by reducing not only serum cholesterol and triglyceride but also liver cholesterol and triglyceride.

The effects of indigestible dextrin on lipids in serum, tissue, and feces were investigated in two experiments carried out with 64 male Sprague-Dawley rats for eight weeks. Experiment I diet(normal fat diet) containing 5% corn oil and experiment II diet(high fat diet) containing 18% fat(13% beef tallow and 5% corn oil) and 1% cholesterol were divided into four groups with 0.5% cellulose(0.5CL : control), 10% cellulose(10CL), 10% Indigestible dextrin I(ID-I) and 10% indigestible dextrin II(ID-II), respectively. ID-I and ID-II diets produced a decrease in serum total lipid and cholesterol concentrations in both normal and high fat diets but more significantly in the groups fed high fat diet. ID-I, ID-II, and 10CL of high fat diet decreased serum glucose concentration. ID-I and ID-II diets also decreased liver cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in rats fed normal and high fit diets. The fecal excretion of cholesterol in ID-II/high fat diet was significantly higher than that of 0.5CL diet. Bile acid excretion was increased in the rats fed 10CL and ID-II diets of normal and high fat diets. These observations indicat the hypolipidemic and hypocholesterolemic effects of indigestible dextrin on the rats. These effects are mediated by the increase of facal cholesterol and bile acid excretion. (Korean J Nutrition31(6) : 981-990, 1998)

20여종의 Monascus속의 균주로 부터 mevinolin의 생산능이 우수하면서도 곰팡이 독소성분 citrinin을 생산하지 않는 우량균주를 선발하였으며, 콩시료에 대한 고상발효를 최적화하기 위한 영양배지의 조성물이 검토되었다. 선발된 M. pilosus IFO 480으로 발효시킨 홍국콩 발효물에 함유된 mevinolin의 주요 화합물은, 약리학적 활성형(drug)의 mevinolinic acid 밝혀졌다(91.8%). 따라서 홍국 발효콩은 생체활성형의 항 콜레스테롤 성분을 최대 0.22% 까지 함유하는, 안전한 건강 기능성식품 소재로서의 활용가능성이 높은 것으로 평가할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 성숙한 흰쥐에게 동물성 포화지방(식이중 beef tallow로서 18%)과 식이에 콜레스테롤을 첨가하지 않은 조건과 첨가한 조건(1%) 하에서 식이칼슘을 수준별로(식이에 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.5% 첨가) 4주간 동안 급여한 후 혈액과 조직의 지질함량, 소장내용물 중 지질의 분포 및 분중 지질배설량 등이 측정되었다. 그 결과, 콜레스테롤 무첨가의 고지방식을 4주간 급여한 경우에는 고콜레스테롤혈증은 유발되지 않았으며, 식이칼슘의 투여효과도 인정되지 않았다. 한편 콜레스테롤 첨가 고지방식을 급여한 경우에는 고콜레스테롤혈증의 유발이 가능하였다. 이때 식이칼슘의 투여효과는 식이칼슘의 수준 증가에 따라 혈청 콜레스테롤 농도가 저하하는 경향을 보였다. 즉 식이칼슘 섭취 부족에 따른 혈중 콜레스테롤 상승효과(hypercholesterolemic effect)와 칼슘섭취 증가에 따른 혈중 콜레스테롤 저하효과(hypocholesterolemic effect)가 인정되었다. 또 칼슘 섭취가 체내 지질대사에 미치는 효과에 대한 하나의 작용메카니즘으로서 콜레스테롤의 소화율과 장관내 흡수양상이 검토되었는데, 이때 분중 지질성분의 배설량은 고칼슘식이군에서 유의적으로 높았고 콜레스테롤의 소화율은 저칼슘식이군에서 유의적으로 높았다. 이것은 칼슘이 지질 성분의 배설을 촉진하므로서 지질 성분의 흡수를 저하시킨다고 하는 장관내 지질 흡수 메카니즘에 대한 “지질-칼슘 soap 형성”으로 칼슘의 역할이 설명될 수 있다. 본 과제에서 처음으로 시도된 소장내용물의 지질과 칼슘성분의 존재양상은 지질 흡수와 칼슘의 상호작용을 보다 직접적인 방법으로 측정할 수 있었으나, 얻어진 결과에 대한 해석에는 아직 어려움이 있었다.

본 연구는 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 랫드에서 파리유충 에탄올추출물(Ethanolic extract of fly maggot, EM)의 경구투여가 혈액 지질감소에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Sprague-Dawley 수컷 랫드를 이용하여 4 처리구(EM 투여량; 대조군=0, 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 mg/100 g 체중)로 구분해서 6주 동안 진행하였다. EM 투여군은 대조군과 비교할 때 혈청 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤, LDL-C가 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). HMG-CoA reductase activity는 대조군과 비교할 때 EM 투여군에서 낮았으나 총스테롤, 중성스테롤 및 담즙산 배설량은 EM 투여군에서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). EM의 혈액 콜레스테롤 감소와 관련한 생물학적 작용기작을 규명하기 위해서 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 랫드에서 유도된 생체유전자 sterol response element binding proteins (SREBPs) 및 the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors ($PPAR{\alpha}$) 발현을 측정하였다. EM은 고콜레스테롤 식이를 공급받은 랫드의 간에서 SREBP-$1{\alpha}$, SREBP-2 mRNA 발현을 억압함과 동시에 $PPAR{\alpha}$ mRNA 발현을 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 본 연구의 결과는 파리유충 에탄올추출물이 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 랫드에서 지질대사와 관련한 생화학적 매개변수 및 유전자발현 조절을 통하여 혈액 콜레스테롤을 낮춘다는 새로운 사실을 발견하였다.

베타-사이클로덱스트린은 7개의 글루코스 단위가 $\alpha$-1,4 결합으로 연결된 환상고리형 올리고당으로서 전분을 효소처리하여 추출한 물질이다. 베타-사이클로덱스트린은 혈액내 지질 함량을 현저하게 떨어뜨릴 수 있는 hypolipdemic, hypotriacylglyceridemic 그리고 hypocholesterolemic 효과를 가지므로 비만을 예방하는데 도움이 될 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 베타-사이클로덱스트린을 이용하여 조제된 펠렛 형태의 식이가 비만인의 체중, 체지방, 복부비만 감소 및 혈액 지질함량 감소에 미치는 효과를 조사하는 것이었다.

In vitro studies were performed on the interaction of indomethacin with cholestyramine, a hypocholesterolemic substance. Cholestyramine showed a marked affinity for indomethacin among tested acidic drugs and the intensity of adsorption was dependent on pH, temperature and sodium chloride. Moreover, the combination of indomethacin with some acidic drugs that formed complexes with cholestyramine, considerably inhibited the adsorption of indomethacin on the resin.

Chitosan, a deacetylated derivative of chitin, is one of the abundant resources, and its biological properties such as antibactierial activity, hypocholesterolemic activity, and hypertensive action are remarked. However, increasing attention has recently been yen to converting chitosan to its oligosaccharides because they possess various functional properties like antitumor activity, immune-enhancing effects, enhancing protective effects against infection with some pathogens in mice, antifungal activity, and antimicrobial activity (Jeon et al., 2001).
