본 연구는 위 벽세포 in vitro 실험모델과 알코올로 위를 자극한 in vivo 실험모델을 이용하여 매스틱 검의 위산 분비 억제 및 위장 점막 보호 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 위 조직의 병리학적인 관찰을 통하여 효과를 관찰한 결과 알코올로 위를 자극한 군에서 위 점막 조직의 손상과 표면 상피세포의 손실을 관찰할 수 있었으나, 매스틱 검 50 및 100 mg/kg 투여한 군에서 모두 control 그룹과 비교했을 때 손상이 회복되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 위액 분비량 및 위액 산도를 비교한 결과에서도 알코올의 자극으로 인하여 증가한 위액 분비량과 위액 산도를 매스틱 검이 유의적으로 감소시켰음을 확인할 수 있었다. 혈장 histamine 농도와 그로 인해 영향을 받은 H2r 발현량 변화로 위산 분비 관련 인자를 확인한 결과에서도 매스틱 검을 투여한 그룹에서 유의적으로 그 농도가 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 또한 위 벽세포에서 위산 분비 증가와 관련된 수용체인 CCK2r과 $H^+/K^+$ APTase 발현 변화도 역시 매스틱 검의 투여가 효과적으로 발현을 억제한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 동물실험 결과를 바탕으로 세포 수준에서의 기전 규명을 위한 연구를 추가적으로 진행하였으며, 세포 내 cAMP 농도, $H^+/K^+$ APTase 및 H2r의 발현 변화를 관찰한 결과 매스틱 검의 처리가 효과적으로 이들의 발현을 감소시켰음을 확인하였다. 따라서 매스틱 검의 위산 분비 억제 및 점막 보호 활성 효과는 형태학적 및 병리학적 관찰, histamine 분비 억제, 수용체 발현 억제효과 등으로 확인한 결과, histamine을 통한 위산 분비 경로를 조절함으로써 위산 분비 및 위장 점막 손상에 대해 보호 효과를 나타내었으며 이는 이전 실험 결과들과 동일한 농도에서 효과가 나타났음을 확인하였다.

No evidence has accumulated that lead compound is an essential component for biological function in animals. Lead is absorbed primarily through the epithelial mucosal cells in duodenum and the absorption can be enhanced by the substances which bind lead and increase its solubility. Iron, zinc and calcium ions, however, decrease the absorption of lead without affecting its solubility, probably by competing for shared absorptive receptors in the intestinal mucosa. Therefore, the absorption of lead is increased in iron deficient animals. Lead shows a strong affinity for ligands such as phosphate, cysteinyl and histidyl side chains of proteins, pterins and porphyrins. Hence lead can act on various active sites of enzymes, inhibiting the enzymes which has functional sulfhydryl groups. lead inhibits the activity of ${\delta}$-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase for the biosynthesis of hemoproteins and cytochrome, which catalyzed the synthesis of monopyrrole prophobilinogen from ${\delta}$-aminolevulinic acid. Accordingly lead decrease hepatic cytochrome p-450 content, resulting an inhibition of the activity of demethylase and hydroxylase in liver. Little informations are available on the effect of lead on digestive system although the catastrophic effects of lead intoxication are well documented. The present study was, therefore, attempted to investigate the effect of lead on pancreaticobiliary secretion in rats. Albino rats of both sexes weighing $170{\sim}230g$ were used for this study. The animals were divided into one control and three treated groups, i.e., control (physiologic saline 1.5ml/kg i.p.), lead acetate $(l0{\mu}mole/kg/day\;i.p.)$, $Pb(Ac)_2$ and EDTA$(each\;10{\mu}mole/kg/day\;i.p.)$, $Pb(Ac)_2$ and $FeSO_4(each\;l0{\mu}mole/kg/day\;hp)$. The pancreatico-biliary juice was collected under urethane anesthesia, and activities of amylase and lipase were determined by employing Sumner's and Cherry and Crandall's methods. The summarized results are follows. 1) In the experiment for acute toxicity of lead acetate, 20% of mortality was observed in rat treated with lead acetate as well as inhibition of the activity of amylase in the juice at the 3 rd day of the treatment. 2) No increases in body weight were observed in rats treated with lead acetate, while in control group the significant increases were observed. However, the body weights of animals were increased in the group lead acetate plus EDTA or $FeSO_4$. 3) Lead acetate decreased significantly the volume of pancreatico-biliary juice whereas additional treatment of EDTA and $FeSO_4$ prevented it. 4) Total activity of amylase was markedly reduced due to lead acetate treatment, but no change was showed following additional treatment with EDTA and $FeSO_4$. 5) No changes in the cholate and lipase output were observed in rats treated with lead acetate as compared with that of control rats. 6) Increase in bilirubin output in rats treated with lead acetate was shown on the 2nd and 3rd weeks treatment. 7) In the case of in vitro experiment, lead acetate also markedly inhibited release of amylase from pancreatic fragment. 8) Histologic finding indicated that acini vacuolation was induced in the pancreatic tissue of rat treated with lead acete. From the above results, it might be concluded that lead acetate decreases the volume of pancreatico-biliary secretion and inhibits the amylase activity, by acting directly on pancreatic cells.
