The objectives of this study were to investigate the antihyperglycemic and hypolipidmic effects of sea oak(Eisenia bicyclis, EB) in the diabetic state and to examine the appropriateness of formulated EB pill for the effects. The various test materials obtained from EB were included in the experimental diets with 15% fat/0.5% cholesterol and fed to streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice weighing $35.0{\pm}0.7$ g for three weeks but not in the control diet having the same composition. The test materials were EB dry powder, water and ethanol extracts, viscozyme-treated EB water extract(EB enzyme-TR) and formulated pill containing dry powders of the EB, two kinds of seaweed, black soybean, sesame, onion and garlic. BG was measured during feeding period and serum insulin, lipids and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) and intestinal disaccharidase activities were measured at the end of the three weeks of the feeding. BG increase was lower in the EB enzyme-TR group after 10 days of the experimental diet but lower in EB pill group after 15 days compared with the control group. Serum insulin levels were higher in the EB enzyme-TR and EB pill groups. Intestinal maltase but not sucrase activity was higher in EB enzyme-TR fed group than the control group. Serum levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride were reduced by the EB enzyme-TR and EB pill compared with the control diet. HDL-/total cholesterol was increased by all EB test materials. Serum TBARS levels were lower in the EB ethanol extract and EB pill groups than in the control group and tended to be lower in the other EB groups. It is concluded that the EB enzyme-TR is the best among the EB preparations to be utilized as a functional component for improving blood glucose and lipid profile in diabetic subjects in the future. However, the pill containing low level of the EB powder is also regarded as effective and readily usable when formulated with the several other ingredients of the proper composition.(Supported by the RIC Program of MOCIE, Korea).

카레분 및 카레 원료로 사용되는 주요 향신료들의 돌연변이 억제 효과를 보기 위하여 카레분 및 원료 향신료 14종의 추출물에 대한 돌연변이원성 및 항 돌연변이원성 실험을 하였다. 카레분 및 향신료 14종의 추출물에 대해 돌연변이원성 유무를 확인한 결과 돌연변이 원이 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 항 돌연변이원성 실험에서 직접 변이원 2-NF 처리 시Saimonella typhimurium TA 98에 대하여 향신료 추출물 중cinnamon(42%) 및 fenugreek(38%), fennel(32%), ginger(28%), clove(24%)는 p<0.00I 유의수준에서, 그리고 turmeric (23%) 및 celery seed(20%), coriander(16%)는 p<0.01 수준에서 항 돌연변이율을 나타냈다. 그리고 garlic(17%)이 항 돌연변이 활성을 나타냈으며 그 밖의 향신료 및 카레분 추출물은 항 돌연변이 효과가 없었다. 간접변이원 2-AT처리 시 돌연변이 수는 115.0$\pm$46.4에서 clove추출물 첨가에 의해 13.2$\pm$8.1로 감소하여 향신료 추출물 중 clove가 116%로 가장 높은 항 돌연변이율을 보였으며, celery seed(103%) 및 cardamon(100%) 역시 강한 항 돌연변이율을 나타냈다(p<0.01). 그밖에 red pepper, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, fennel, coriander, nutmeg, turmeric에서도 항 돌연변이 활성이 존재하였다(p<0.05). 간접변이원 2-AF에서는 clove추출물이 120%의 가장 높은 항 돌연변이율을 보였으며, cinnamon(113%) 역시 강한 항 돌연변이 활성을 나타냈다(p<0.001). 그리고 cardamon(93%) 및 celery seed (80%), ginger(58%), fennel(44%) 역시 항 돌연변이 활성을 보였다(p<0.05). 그밖에 coriander, black pepper는 항 돌연변이 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 카레분 추출물의 경우, 간접변이원인 2-AT와 2-AF에서 6~23%의 항 돌연변이 율을 나타냈으나 유의성이 없었으며 직접변이원인 2-NF 에서는 항 돌연변이성을 나타내지 않았다. 즉, 동일한 추출물이라도 변이원에 따라 항 돌연변이율이 다르게 확인되었으며, 카레분 및 원료 향신료의 추출물에서 항 돌연변이율은 직접변이원보다는 간접변이원에서 높게 나타났다.
