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.

This study investigated the effects of Platycodon grandiflorum aqueous extract on lipid concentration of serum and liver in rats fed high cholesterol diet Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to three groups (control, low dose of extract, high dose of extract) for four weeks. The serum total cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in the low and high doses of extract groups than in the control group. There was a significant decrease in the free cholesterol, cholesterol ester, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides concentrations in serum, and the total cholesterol and the triglycerides contentin liver in the low and high doses of extract groups compared to the control group. When the serum phospholipid concentration was compared among the groups, it was significantly lower in high dose of extract group than in control and low dose of extract group. It can be postulated that Platycodon grandiflorum aqueous extract may possess substantial hypolipidemic properties in rats.

Solanum melongena L. (Solanaceae) has anti-oxidant, analgesic, and hypolipidemic effects. We previously showed that Solanum melongena (SM) aqueous extract inhibits mast cell-mediated allergic reactions. The activation of protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) induces acute inflammation in rat hindpaw. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the SM aqueous extract on mouse paw edema induced by PAR2 agonists. Trypsin or trans-cinnamoyl-LIGRLO-NH$_2$ (tc-NH$_2$), PAR-2 agonists, was injected into the hind paw of mice to induce paw edema. SM aqueous extract (1, 5, 10, and 100 mg/kg) was orally administered 1 hr before induction of paw edema. SM aqueous extract (5, 10, and 100 mg/kg) significantly inhibited both paw edema and vascular permeability in the dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, SM aqueous extract (10 mg/kg) significantly inhibited PAR-2 agonist-induced myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ expression in paw tissue compared to that of saline. These results suggest that SM aqueous extract may be useful for treatment of PAR-2-mediated inflammation.

Phellinus pini (Hymenocaetaceae) has been used for the immunomodulating activity hypolipidemic effect, gastric cancer non-insulin dependant diabetes, diarrhea, and menstrual irregularity. From the screening of each fraction for the inhibitory activity of NO production in lipopolysaccaride (LPS) activated RAW 264.7 cells, methanol extract of Phellinus pini and hexane soluble fraction exhibited inhibition of NO production compared with LPS control without toxicity. The hexane soluble fraction showed dose dependent inhibition of NO production. According to activity guided fractionation, the active hexane fr. was repeatedly chromatographed over silica gel, ergosta-4,6,8(14),22- tetraen-3-one was isolated. The compound inhibited NOS activation (IC$_{50}$ = 29.7 uM) and NO production of activated macrophage at 30 uM.

생약재(백복령, 사인 및 창출) 추출물을 동량으로 혼합한 것에 와송 추출물을 첨가하여 만든 복합물이 당뇨쥐의 혈당강하 및 혈중 지질 성분 변화에 미치는 영향을 실험하였다. 정상군, 당뇨 대조군, 생약재 혼합물 급여군(D-MH), 생약재 혼합물과 와송 추출물의 1:1 복합물 급여군(D-MHOA) 및 1:3 복합물 급여군(D-MHOB)으로 구분하여 4주간 실험 사육하였다. 실험 사육 4주 후 체중의 증가량은 모든 실험군이 당뇨 대조군에 비해 증가되었으나, D-MHOB군에서만 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 실험 사육 기간 동안 공복 혈당은 실험 식이의 급여 2주 후부터 모든 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 유의적인 감소를 보였으며, 2~3주 동안에는 D-MH군과 D-MHOA군 간에 비슷한 수준이었다. 4주 후에는 D-MHOB군의 공복 혈당이 가장 낮았다. 내당능 측정 결과, 포도당 급여 60분에 모든 실험군에서 최고 혈당치를 보였으나, 생약재 혼합물 및 와송의 복합물 급여군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 개선되었다. 당화 헤모글로빈 함량은 정상군(3.9%)에 비해 대조군이 약 1.9배 증가되었으며, D-MH군에 비해 D-MHOA 및 D-MHOB군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 생약재에 대한 와송의 첨가량이 많을수록 혈청 총 지질 및 총 콜레스테롤 함량은 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었으나, HDL-C 함량은 D-MHOB군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. GPT 활성은 D-MHOB군이 여타의 실험군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다. 생약재 혼합물 급여군에 비해서 와송 추출물의 첨가군에서 지질과산화물 함량은 감소되었으나 와송의 첨가량에 따른 유의차는 작았다. 항산화 활성은 와송의 첨가량에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다. 따라서 와송은 생약재 혼합물에 첨가됨으로써 혈당 저하 및 지질 개선 효과를 증가시키는 것으로 확인되었다.

오늘날 현대인들의 식생활방식 중 과다한 열량의 영양소 섭취로 인하여 초래되는 비만의 유발 원인 중의 하나로 알려진 고지혈증(hyperlipidemia)에 대한 예방효과가 있는 것으로 알려진 전통방식으로 제조된 고추장의 생리활성 기능성 효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 이 연구에서는 실험동물로서 Sprague-Dawley(SD)-Rat에 대해서 고추장 추출물의 건강증진 효과에 대해서 실험동물을 사용하여 직접 확인하고 시도하였다. 실험군은 실험동물용 일반사료만을 먹인 음성대조군 그룹(N-group)과 일반사료와 고추장 추출물을 동시에 먹인 시험그룹(K-group) 그리고 양성대조군으로 고콜레스테롤 사료만을 먹인 그룹(H-group)으로 구분하여 5주간 사육하면서 건강증진효과의 발현에 대해서 분석하였다. 3그룹의 실험동물을 5주간의 사육 후 해부했을 때 H-group의 모든 동물(100%)에서 공통적으로 심한 지방간(fatty liver) 소견이 관찰되었으나, N-group이나 K-group의 어떠한 동물에서도 지방간 소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 한편, 실험동물의 혈장성분에 대한 혈액생화학적 성적의 비교에서는 고지혈증의 예방에 유익한 성분으로 알려진 HDL의 경우, 고추장 추출물 투여 그룹($25{\pm}8.43mg/d{\ell}$)은 H-group($22.6{\pm}4.16$) 보다 다소간 상승된 수치를 보였으나, 특히 고지혈증을 악화시키는 원인으로 알려진 LDL 경우에는 H-group ($55.8{\pm}44.8mg/d{\ell}$)이 고추장 추출물 투여 그룹($8.6{\pm}1.52mg/d{\ell}$)과 음성대조군인 N-group($9.8{\pm}2.39$)의 성적보다도 유의적으로 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 결과적으로 이 연구에서 SD-Rat에 투여했던 고추장 추출물은 실험동물에서 건강기능 개선효과의 하나인 저지방혈증 효과를 발현한 것으로 사료되었다.

This study investigated the effect of dietary taurine supplementation on the plasma and liver lipid concentrations in lats fed a cholesterol free diet Twenty male-Sprague-Dawley rats(body weight $200{\pm}10g$) were divided into two groups, the control and taurine group(2% taurine supplemented in their diet). All the rats were fed on the experimental diet and deionized water for 6 weeks libitum. There were no significant differences body weight gain, food intake and the food efficiency ratio between the control and experimental groups. The rats fed the taurine diet had a significantly lower triglyceride and AI(athrogenic index) than those fed the control diet The liver total cholesterol (p<0.05) and triglyceride levels(p<0.01) were significantly lower in the rats fed the taurine diet than in those fed the control diet. These results suggest a possible role of taurine as a hypolipidemic agent in male rats fed a cholesterol free diet.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of rice germ oil supplement on the lipid metabolism of insulin-dependent diabetic mice. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice were fed three kinds of experimental diets with 20% lipid, composed of 20% lard (L) : 10% lard and 10% rice germ oil (LRGO) ; and 20% rice germ oil (RBO), respectively, for 7 weeks. Diet intake, body weight, organ weight and lipid levels of serum, liver and feces were measured. There was no significant difference in diet intake, body weight and organ weight among the experimental groups. But the concentrations of serum triglyceride in the LRGO and RGO groups, and of serum total cholesterol in the RGO group, were significantly lower than those of the L group fed the 20% lard diet. The levels of hepatic total lipid of the RGO group, and of hepatic total cholesterol of the LRGO and RGO groups were significantly lower than those of the L group. The contents of total lipid and total cholesterol excreted in the feces of the LRGO and RGO groups were higher than those of the L group. These results suggest that rice germ oil can reduce the levels of total cholesterol concentrations in the serum or livers of insulin-dependent diabetic mice, and that the hypolipidemic effect of rice germ oil may be due to increasing fecal lipid excretion and decreasing lipid absorptivity.
