The effects of chitin and chitosan on the contents of plasma and liver lipids and the fecal excretion of neutral and acidic steroids were investigated in rats fed with atherogenic diet. Dietary chitin did not affect plasma total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, while chitosan diet de creased total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Plasma content of triglyceride was reduced signif icantly by chitin diet but not by chitosan. Increases in fecal weight were observed in rats fed with either chitin or chitosan, and the increase was greater with chitosan than with chitin. Dietary chitosan resulted in an increase of fecal excretion of neutral steroids without any changes in the excretion of acidic sterols. Putting the results together, dietary chitosan reduces plasma cholesterol probably due to the reduction of cholesterol absorption. The decrease in plasma triglyceride level by dietary chitin requires further research to understand the mechinism.

본 연구는 메탄올과 물에서 각각 추출한 다시마 추출물을 급여한 흰쥐에게 당뇨를 유도하고 다시마 추출물의 섭취가 당뇨병의 혈관계 합병증의 유발과 관련되는 체내 지질대사의 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 흰쥐에게 다시마의 메탄올추출물(2%, w/w)과 물추출물(4%, w/w)을 식이에 첨가하여 4주간 급여하고, streptozotocin(STZ, 45 mg/kg BW)으로 당뇨를 유도한 후 혈당, 혈중 콜레스테롤과 중성지질, 변의 수분 함량과 중량, 변의 스테로이드 및 담즙산 함량을 측정하였다. 당뇨 유발로 인해 흰쥐의 체중 감소가 현저하였으며 식 이에 따른 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았지만 메탄올추출물 급여군보다 물추출물 급여군에서 당뇨에 의한 체중감소가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 식이에 따른 식이효율의 차이는 나타나지 않았으나 식이 섭취량은 물추출물 급여군이 유의적으로 낮은 경향이었다. 혈당 변화는 당뇨를 유도하고 다시마추출물을 급여하지 않은 대조군에 비해 다시마추출물 급여군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으나 추출물의 종류에 따른 차이는 나타내지 않았다. 중성지방 함량은 대조군에 비해 다시마추출물을 급여한 군에서 중성 지질 함량이 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 추출물간의 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 인지질 함량은 다시마추출물 급여군에 비해 대조군에서 약간 높았으나 메탄올추출물과 물추출물간의 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 혈장에서의 총 콜레스테롤 함량은 실험군간의 차이를 보이지 않았다 HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 실험군간의 유의적인 차이는 없으나 대조군과 메탄올추출물 급여군에 비해 물추출물 급여군에서 그 함량이 높았다 분변의 건조중량은 다시마의 물추출물 급여군에서 유의적으로 증가하였다. 분변 중의 수분 함량은 유의적이지는 않지만 대조군이나 메탄올추출물 급여군보다 물추출물 급여군에서 증가하는 경향이었다. 변으로 배설되는 콜레스테롤 함량은 메탄올과 물에서 각각 추출한 다시마 추출물 급여군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높았으며, 특히 물추출물 급여군에서 가장 많이 배설되었다. 하루에 변으로 배설되는 coprostanol함량은 다시마의 물추출물 급여군에서 유의적으로 증가되었다 변으로 배설되는 담즙산의 함량은 메탄올과 물추출물 급여군에서 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높았다 이상과 같은 결과를 통해서 볼 때 다시마추출물 섭취는 콜레스테롤과 같은 중성스테로이드의 배설을 촉진시킴으로써 당뇨로 인해 발생하기 쉬운 합병증인 동맥 경화증의 예방적 효과에 기여할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

Cholesterol의 주요한 대사산물인 중성steroids와 담즙산의 배설에 관한 내용은 cholesterol 대사를 이해하는데 있어 중요한 부분이다. 식이지방이 steroids의 배설에 미치는 효과에 대하여 아직 일치된 견해가 없어 본 실험에서는 식이지방의 수준(식이에너지의 15, 30 및 45% 과 P/S 비율(0.5 및 1.0)을 달리한 실험식이를 흰쥐에 4주간 급여하여 분변을 통한 총지질, 중성steroids 및 총담즙산배설에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 체중증가량, 식이섭취량 및 식이변전율은 cholesterol이 섭취되지 않은 경우나 섭취된 경우 모두 P/S 비율에 관계없이 식이지방의 수준에 유의적인 영향을 받았다. 지질소화율은 cholesterol이 섭취되지 않은 경우나 섭취된 경우 모두 P/S 비율에 관계없이 식이지방의 수준에 비례하여 유의적으로 증가하였다. 분변량, 총지질배설량, 중성steroids배설량과 그 조성 및 총담즙산배설량은 식이지방의 수준이나 P/S 비율에 따른 일관성 있는 영향을 나타내지 않았다. Cholesterol의 섭취는 체중증가량과 식이변전율을 유의적으로 향상시켰으며, 총지질배설량을 유의적으로 감소시켰고, 지질소화율을 증가시키고 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 중성 steroids배설량을 증가시키는 경향을 나타내면서, coprostanol의 조성비율을 감소시켰고 coprostanone의 조성비율을 증가시켰다. 반면에 총담즙산배설량은 감소시켰다.

The ultimate aim of this study is to find high-fiber sources among Korean common foods and to develop a high-fiber supplement which can be useful in the therapeutic diet for the diabetic patients. For this purpose the effect of four kinds of seaweeds(mixture of purple laver & sea lettuce : MPS, sea tanle : ST, sea mustard : SM, agar agar : AA) on the glucose and lipid mtabolism were examined. Seven groups of normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were fed dietary fiber-free control diet or one of experimental diets containing 7% of one of four seaweeds for six weeks. The effects of seaweeds were campared with the effects of fiber-free diet or pectin diet. ST, SM, and AA showed a tendency of improving glucose tolerance improvement by those seaweeds, however, was less than that by pectin. MPS was found to possess a serum cholesterol-lowering effect which is comparable to that of pectin. All the supplementations of seaweeds induced significant increase in fecal steroids excretion. The amounts of fecal cholesterol excretion follwing in feeding of MPS and SM were as high as the level cause by pectin. The excretion of bile acids in the MPS group was much higher than that in the pectin group. Based on its effects of alleviating the diabetic symptoms in the previous study and of improving the glucose tolerance, sea mustard seems to have a benefical effect on glucose metabolism. The serum cholesterol-lowering effect of MPS possibly due to the significant increase in fecal steroids excretion suggests that MPS may be effective in improving abnormalities of lipid metabolism. Therefore, sea tangle and mixture of purple laver & sea lettuce seem to be promising as an effective source of high-fiber supplement for the diabetic patients.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of corn peptide(CP) on lipid metabolism. Sprague-Dawley(S.D) male rats were assigned to three dietary groups {control diet(CD), high fat diet (HFD) & high fat com peptide diet(FCD)} and fed 4 weeks to examine the effects of CP. There were no significantly different in cholesterol concentrations in the liver among the groups. However, triglyceride(TG) concentrations of the FCD & CD significantly lower than the HFD. Fecal excretion of neutral steroids & bile acids of the FCD significantly higher than the CD & HFD. Serum total cholesterol TG & LDL-cholesterol concentrations of the FCD & CD significantly lower than the HFD. These results suggest the improvement of lipid composition in serum by CP might be inhibit of lipid absorption in intestine & increment of neutral steroids & bile acids excretion in feces.

The purpose of the study was to find an effect of Medium Chain Triglycerids (MCT) diet on cholesterol metabolism in rat. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed two different diets containing MCT(trioctanoate) and corn oil respectively. After feeding to each group for four weeks, the levels of serum and liver cholesterol, the excretion rates of fecal and biliary steroids, and also bile acid composition were investigated. The results obtained from the study are as follows : (1) The average body weight gain in MCT group was almost same as that in the corn oil group. (2) The concentration of serum cholesterol in MCT group was lower than that in the corn oil group. Therefore it is confirmed that the cholesterol lowing action of MCT diet was practically high. (3) The concentrations of liver cholesterol and Triglyceride in MCT group were almost same as that in the corn oil group. Therefore it is thought that the level of liver lipids was not influenced by the difference of diet in this study. (4) The excretion rate of fecal neutral steroid in MCT group was significantly lower than that in the corn oil group, while the rate of fecal bile acid excretion was about same in both MCT and corn oil group. (5) The composition rates of fecal bile acid such as cholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid, a secondary acid of cholic acid, in MCT group were significantly lower than that in the corn oil group. (6) The excretion rates of biliary cholesterol and bile acid in MCT group were significantly higher than that in the corn oil group, while the composition rates of biliary bile acid such as chenoddeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid in MCT group were significantly higher than that in the corn oil group.

This study is conducted to evalute the effect of ginseng fraction component (ginseng extract solution, GES; ginseng protein, GP; ginseng saponin, GSA; ginseng residue, GR) upon hyperlipidemia and fatty liver induced by high fat administration. In doing so, the serum, liver and epididymal adpoid tissue have been examined for lipid components level and lipoprotein fraction. Feces bile acid and neutral sterol excretion have been also measured. 1'he results obtained from this study are as follows. 1. Serum, liver, epididymal lipid components of GP and GSA group were significantly lower than the controlgroup. 2. During the feeding experiment, VLDL and LDL increase while HDL decrease in all group. However the degree of VLDL and LDL increase and HDL decrease were signficantly small in GP and GSA group compared with control group. 3. In the excretion of bile acid and neutral sterol, all experiment group showed increased excretion in the comparison of control group.

The effect of Artemisia princeps var orientalis(mugwort) and Circium japonicum var ussuriense (Unggungqui) on lipid metabolism was examined . Thirty rats of 5 experimental groups were fed with a diet containing 1% cholesterol and 0.25% sodium cholate(control diet) and 5% plant powder or its water soluble extract(experimental diet) for 4 weeks. The activity of enzymes related to liver function, lipid components of liver and principle organs, and fecal steroids were assayed. The activity of enzymes was significantly lower in the unggungqui and mugwort powder diet group than in control. Liver total cholesterol , free cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were significantly lower in Unggungqui powder diet groups that in the control. The concentrations of total cholesterol , triglyceride and phospholipid in heart and kidney were comparatively low in the Unggungqui powder diet groups. In each plant powder diet group, the values of serum bile acid were significantly lowe ran the fecal steroid excretion was higher than in the control and the extract diet groups.

In experiment 1, rats (n＝6) fed diet containing 10 g/kg cholesterol for 4 wk (control) with either no amaranth (control), amaranth grain (300 g/kg, AG) or amaranth oil (90 g/kg, AO). Both the AG and AO groups had lower concentration of serum and hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride than the controls (p < 0.05). Fecal excretions of cholesterol and bile acid in AO group increased about 4 fold and 2 fold, respectively, while AG affected only bile acid excretion (p < 0.05). In experiment 2, rats (n＝6) were fed the cholesterol diet for 4 wk and injected intraperitoneally with saline (control) or amaranth squalene (AS) for 7d. The hypolipidemic effect of AS was evident in both serum and liver. Fecal excretions of cholesterol and bile acid were greater (p < 0.05) in AS than control. HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A) reductase activity was reduced in AS group (11.6%, p=0.13). This study suggests that the cholesterol-lowering effect of AS is mediated by greater fecal elimination of steroids through interference with cholesterol absorption.
