Upon feeding dried Ginseng to rats of either low-protein or high protein diet ethanol was administered intraperitoneally and disappearance rate blood alcohol was enzymatically measure. In terms of residual blood alcohol after a time lapse of 3.5 hours between intraperitonial administration and blood withdrawal neither ginseng nor ginseng plus 40% casein did improve the rate, of alcohol clearance but sexual difference was clearly demonstrated in favor of female rats. In the case of blood withdrawn only 2 hours after intraperitoneal injection of alcohol, the tendency of female superiority in alcohol clearance rate is demonstrated when a comparison is made among the groups fed with ginseng and this was particularly true is groups of rats fed with basal diet plus 1 percent ginseng residual blood ethanol being 15.4 mg/ml vs. 8.8 mg/ml. Liver homogenate alcohol dehydrogenase activity measured in terms of residual ethanol content after in vitro reaction on which a known amount of alcohol was added clearly demonstrated a male superiority in alcohol clearance.

Objectives: This study investigated the effect of SM-2015 on blood alcohol clearance and hangover. We undertook this study to test whether SM-2015 is effective in decreasing blood alcohol concentration and preventing the symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover. Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers participated in this randomized crossover study. All participants were classified between an SM-2015 intake group (test group) and a non-intake group (control group). The primary outcome measure was the difference in blood alcohol concentration and hangover severity scores between the test and control groups. The secondary outcome measure was the difference in a liver function test (LFT) between the test and control groups. Results: After alcohol exposure, the sensitivity scores of blood alcohol concentration and hangover symptoms (sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, weakness, stomach pain, diarrhea, and concentration disorder) were significantly decreased in the SM-2015 intake group compared with the non-intake group. There were no differences in the LFT results between the SM-2015 intake group and the non-intake group. Conclusions: SM-2015 is effective in decreasing blood alcohol concentration and preventing the symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover. Larger studies are required to confirm these findings.

Allyl alcohol is metabolized in the liver through two steps, first to reactive acrolein by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), subsequently to acrylic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Since ethanol could compete the same enzymes to be metabolized in the liver, we have determined the plasma concentrations of allyl alcohol and ethanol followed by combined treatment. Pretreatment of rats with 2g/kg ethanol followed by ip administration of 40mg/kg allyl alcohol increased the lethality significantly. Determination of in vivo blood concentrations revealed that ethanol pretreatment caused the apparent decrease in allyl alcohol clearance, whereas acetaldehyde level in blood increased significantly by allyl alcohol treatment, as determined by head space GC analysis. Treatment of 4-methylpyrazole, an inhibitor of ADH, delayed allyl alcohol elimination significantly and reduced its lethality. Collectively, these findings suggested that reduction of allyl alcohol clearance in the presence oj ethanol was mediated through ADH competitive inhibition.

건강한 성인남자 14명을 대상으로 하여 혈중 알콜해독에 미치는 인삼의 효과 관찰 실험을 실시하였다. 술과 인삼을 동시에 마시는 시험군과 술만 마시는 대조군을 설정하여, 술을 마신후 40분이 경과하였을 때 혈중알콜농도를 측정하였다. 술 (70g/65kg 체중)과 동시에 인삼 (3g/65kg체중)을 먹었을 때의 혈중알콜농도 ($0.11\%$)는 대조군의 혈중알콜농도 ($0.18\%$)의 약 $6.5\%$이었고, 또 혈중알콜농도를 각 개인별로 비교해보면 실험대상자 14명중 인삼과 술을 동시에 마셨을때의 혈중 알콜농도가 술만 마셨을 때의 혈중 알콜농도의 $65\%{\~}49\%$에 불과한 사람이 10명이나 되었다. 인삼의 알콜배출속도에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위한 방사능이 표시된 알콜을 실험동물에 투여한 후 알콜의 대사물인 $^{14}CO_2$가 호흡을 통하여 배출되는 량을 측정비교 하였다. 알콜 투여후 2-7시간 사이의 $^{14}CO_2$ 배출속도는 알콜의 대사 및 배출속도를 증가시켜 알콜해독을 촉진한다는 것을 설명해주고 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect of dissolved oxygen in alcohol to blood pressure of healthy persons. Methods: Subjects (n=30) were randomized in a double blind crossover study to receive 120 mL, 240 mL, 360 mL of alcohol (Korean spirit, 19.59 v/v%, dissolved oxygen is 8 ppm and 20 ppm). Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and blood pressure were measured applying Lion SD-400 Alcolmeter$^{(R)}$ Breathalyser and Tensoval duo control. Pharmacokinetic parameters ($C_{max}$, $T_{max}$, $AUC_{last}$, $K_{el}$, $V_d$, Clearance) were calculated using Winnonlin$^{(R)}$ program. The difference of parameters and values were analysed by student t-test using Microsoft$^{(R)}$ Excel program. Results: The $AUC_{last}$ values of 8 ppm group and 20 ppm group in 240 ml administration were $6.15{\pm}2.60cg{\cdot}min/ml$, $5.33{\pm}1.84cg{\cdot}min/ml$ (p<0.05) and those in 360 mL were $11.93{\pm}5.70cg{\cdot}min/ml$, $10.33{\pm}4.60cg{\cdot}min/ml$ (p < 0.01), respectively. Thus, the $AUC_{last}$ was significantly decreased. On the other hands, there was a significant change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) after alcohol administration. All measured value after 360 mL of alcohol administration was significantly decreased (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The dissolved oxygen in alcoholic beverage has no effect on blood pressures but the alcohol administration has an effect on blood pressure. Thus, SBP can be used as a biomarker of alcohol administration and utilized in PK/PD modeling of alcohol.

본 연구는 알코올성 간 손상을 일으킨 흰쥐에게 오미자추출물이 혈중 알코올 분해율과 간 기능 보호에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 단회성 급성주정중독시험과 장기 주정투여시험을 각각 수행하였다. 급성주정중독시험은 흰쥐에게 급성주정중독량과 오미자추출물을 투여한 후 60분, 90분, 150분, 240분, 300분, 360분의 혈중 에탄올 농도를 측정하여 경시적인 알코올 분해율을 측정하였다. 장기 주정투여시험은 전반기(4주)는 급성주정중독량(22,23)을 참고하여 1/2용량의 시험주정(Chivas Regal, 40%)을 투여하였고, 후반기(4주)는 시험주정과 함께 물과 오미자추출물(150 mg, 1.0 mL)을 각각 투여하였다. 급성주정중독량시험에서 주정투여 후 90분의 혈중 알코올 농도가 가장 높았고, 주정투여 후 알코올의 기준 농도 대비 360분의 혈중 알코올 분해율은 주정단독투여군(A) 81.4%, 오미자투여군(B) 96.1%, 주정+물투여군(C) 85.3%로 오미자투여군이 다른 두 주정투여군보다 평균 13% 더 높았다. 장기 주정투여시험에서 간장무게는 두 주정투여군(A, B)이 일반대조군(C)보다 통계적으로 무거웠다(P<0.05). 혈청과 간 조직의 중성지방(TG) 함량은 일반대조군이 두 주정투여군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다(P<0.05). 간 조직의 TG 함량은 오미자투여군(B)이 주정대조군(A)에 비해 26.5% 낮았다. 혈청 중 총 콜레스테롤(TC) 함량은 실험군 간에 차이가 없었고, 간 조직의 TC 함량은 B군이 A군보다 18.8% 낮았다. 주정과 오미자추출물을 투여한 후 측정한 ${\gamma}$-GT, AST 및 ALT 활성은 오미자추출물군(B)이 주정대조군(A)보다 각각 26%, 12%, 19% 감소하였다. 혈액학치(CBC)는 혈소판을 제외하고는 실험군 간에 통계적인 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 간세포 조직의 Steatosis score는 주정대조군이 3점인 반면 오미자추출물군과 일반대조군에서는 각각 1점이었고, 붉게 염색된 지방미세과립이 주정대조군에서는 고도 내지 중등도로 세포질내에 침윤(infiltration)된 반면 오미자추출물군에서는 경도로 침윤되었다. 본 연구에서 오미자추출물은 경시적으로 혈중 알코올 분해율을 높여주고, 간 조직의 중성지방량과 간기능치(${\gamma}$-GT, ALT)를 감소시키는 동시에 알코올성 지방변성을 완화시킨 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 오미자 가공식품의 개발과 관련한 기초 및 홍보자료로 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대되는 한편 인체적용시험을 통해 알코올성 간 기능 보효 효과와 관련된 보다 정밀한 후속 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
