본 실험은 식이를 통한 콜레스테롤의 섭취가 흰쥐의 혈장 지단백 분획에 어떻게 영향하는지 또한 이때에 혈장 콜레스테롤 농도와 조직의 콜레스테롤 함량은 어떻게 변화하는지를 관찰하기 위하여 실시되었다. 총에너지의 12%를 옥수수기름으로 공급하는 식이에, 콜레스테롤 무첨가군을 대조군으로 하고 각각 0.2%, 0.5% 및 1.0%의 콜레스테롤 첨가군을 실험군으로 하였다. 상기 실험식이를 갓 이유된 Sprague-Dawley계통의 암쥐 및 숫쥐에게 4주간 자유급식시켰다. 실험결과 혈장 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 콜레스테롤 급여에 따른 영향을 나타내지 않았으나 지단백 분획은 유의한 반응을 나타내었다. 즉 식이 콜레스테롤의 급여 수준이 높을수록 ${\alpha}-lipoproteins$(HDL) 분획비는 점점 감소되었고 ${\beta}-lipoproteine$(VLDL+LDL) 분획비는 점차 증가되었다. 한편 조직의 콜레스테롤 함량은 간장과 골격근의 경우 유의한 증가를 보였다. 간장의 콜레스테롤 함량은 식이 콜레스테롤의 급여수준과 비례하여 증가하여 1.0% 첨가군의 경우 무첨가군에 비하여 약 7배의 축적량을 나타내었다. 그러나 골격근의 축적량은 약 1.5배 내지 1.9배 정도로 제한되었다. 반면 지방조직의 콜레스테롤 함량은 외인성 콜레스테롤의 섭취에 영향받지 않았다.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of cholesterol and fiber on serum lipid metabolism in rats. Male Sprague Dawley rats were administrated 1% cholesterol and 0.25% sodium cholate to induce hypercholesterolemia and were fed on diet containing three concentrations(0%, 5%, 10%) of cellulose and pectin, respectively. The rats were sacrified after 5 weeks of feeding periods. Serum triglyceride concentration was significantly decreased in proportion to level of fiber. Phospholipid concentration was more decreased in 10% fiber groups than 5% fiber groups but did not show any difference by fiber types. Free cholesterol and cholesteryl ester concentrations in serum were significantly decreased by fiber supplement and pectin was more effective than cellulose in cholesterol lowering effect. Whereas HDL cholesterol concentration and HDL C/TC were increased in proportion to level of fiber and the effect of pectin was not more significant than that of cellulose. Serum chylomicron cholesterol concentration also showed significant decrease by pectin supplement and LDL , VLDL cholesterol concentrations were more significantly decreased in 10% fiber groups than those of 5% fiber groups. The results indicate that 10% pectin may have beneficial roles in hypercholesterolemia.

Objectives : Effects of Rhizoma Alismatis extract on lipid composition and TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) formation were investigated in rat fed high fat diet. Methods : Seventy male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in these experiments and housed with food and water ad libitum and Twenty rats were selected healthy over 400g body weight and fed high fat diet for 8 weeks. Rhizoma Alismatis extract was administerd at dose 100mg/kg/day, 200mg/kg/day and 300mg/kg/day p.o. for 4 weeks. Then Triglyceride, Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TBARS concentration and ALT(Alanine Aminotransferase), AST(aspatate transaminase) activities were determined. Results : Plasma total LDL-cholesterol showed a tendancy to decrease in all treated group(P<0.05), however plasma HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride showed no significantly different. Rhizoma Alismatis extract feedings resulted in a decrease in plasma TBARS(p<0.05) concentration and AST, ALT activites but contents of TBARS in liver showed no significantly different among all the treatments. Conclusions : Reviewing these experimental results, it appears that Rhizoma Alismatis extract was effective for inhibiting lipid peroxidation and decreasing LDL-cholesterol concentration.

Objective : Several studies hove suggested that reduction of cholesterol concentration and low cholesterol level increases suicide, homicide, and depression. The authors sought to determine whether low cholesterol is associated with a history of suicidal attempts among major depression patients. Method : The subjects were 105 patients with major depression, diagnosed according to the DSM-III-R criteria, and 105 age, sex matched healthy controls. Blood was token following overnight fast and serum cholesterol concentration were measured by a enzymatic method Results : The serum cholesterol level was significantly lower in the patients with major depression than in healthy controls($180.4{\pm}43.4mg/dl$ vs $199.7{\pm}35.8mg/dl$). And the serum cholesterol level was significantly lower in major depression patients with suicidal attempt than in major depression patients without suicidal attempt($156.7{\pm}38.2mg/dl$ vs $ 187.8{\pm}42.5mg/dl$) Conclusion : It is hypothesized that low cholesterol level is associated with depression by modifying the serotonin metabolism and the production of interleukin-2, low cholesterol concentration should be further investigated as a potential biological marker of suicidal risk in major depression. Prospective study with serial cholesterol determinations should be done.

In this study the solubility of cholesterol was examined with ginseng saponin and chemical saponin used in the preparation of reaction mixture of 0.15M NaCl solution. It was shown that the solubility of cholesterol varied in the concentration of ginseng saponins and in the temperature and that the osmotic pressure and the surface tension was amenable to changes in the concentration of ginseng saponins and the incubation period of the reaction mixture. From the results, it was revealed that the solubility of cholesterol was dependent upon the incubated times and the concentration of ginseng saponins in 0.15mM NaCl solution and that ginseng saponins have the cholesterol solubilizing effect as evidenced in the physicochemical properties of mixed micelle formation and surface-activity.

This study was to investigate the effect of zinc supplementation on serum cholesterol concentration of young women. Thirty healthy students were divided into Zn and placebo groups, and were orally given with zinc(50mg/day, 220mg as ZnSO4·7H2O) or placebo for 2 month (June 9-August 7, 1988). Changes of plasma zinc, serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-cholesterol(LDL-C) and total lipid were analyzed from the initiation to 1 month after the end of zinc supplementation at monthly interval. Plasma zinc, serum LDL-C content and LDL-C/HDL-C were significantly increased by zinc supplementation. Serum total cholesterol content tended to be increased by zinc supplementation but was not significantly different between the two groups. Serum HDL-C content was significantly decreased by zinc supplementation. Serum total lipid content was not different between the two groups during experimental period. Thus, in this study considering the effect of zinc supplementation on serum cholesterol concentration, we conclude that the effect of zinc supplementation on coronary heart disease may be negative.

Coptis rhizoma was extracted with methanol or hot water. Methanol extracts had higher berberine content than water extracts, whereas the contents of Ca, Mg, Zn and K were higher in the water extracts. Rats were fed on the purified diets rich in 0.12% cholesterol only or supplemented with 0.5% of each extracts for four weeks. The concentration of total serum cholesterol was significantly lower in the rats given the extracts, irrespective of the extractants. Although the concentration of serum HDL-cholesterol was comparable among the groups, the ratio of HDL-/total-cholesterol was higher in rats given the extracts. The concentration of serum free fatty acids and ketone body were significantly elevated in rats given the extracts. On the other hand, the extracts supplements significantly decreased the contents of liver cholesterol and triacylglycerol. The amount of fecal bile acids was markedly higher in rats given the extracts, especially in those given water extracts. The results show an effective hypocholesterolemic action of Coptis rhizoma and it seems that the lower concentration of serum and liver cholesterol is resulted from the increased fecal bile acids in rats.
