뽕잎분말을 식이에 각각 0%(무첨가), 5%(저농도) 및 10%(고농도)로 33일간 흰쥐에게 급여하고, 실험 29-33일 사이에 5일간 1일 2회 loperamide(1.5 mg/kg/day, s.c.)를 피하투여하여 변비를 유도한 뒤 뽕잎분말의 변비 개선효과를 측정하였다. 체중증가량은 loperamide 투여 전에는 뽕잎분말을 급여한 MPL5군과 MPL10군이 뽕잎분말을 첨가하지 않고 정상식이를 급여한 NOR군과 MPL0군에 비하여 감소하였으며
We investigated the effect of dietary mulberry leaf powder (MP) on loperamide-induced constipation in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given MP in their diets at a concentration of 0% 5% and 10% for 33 days. Rats were divided into 4 groups: normal diet group (NOR), normal diet and loperamide treated group (MPL0), 5% MP and loperamide treated group (MPL5), and 10% MP and loperamide treated group (MPL10). Constipation was induced by subcutaneous injection of loperamide (1.5 mg/kg body weight/day) for the final 5 days of the experiment Supplemental MP had no effect on the food efficiency ratio, but it reduced body weight gain and food intake in a concentration dependent manner. Administration of loperamide decreased food intake. MP had a concentration-dependent effect on decreasing total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides and on increasing HDL-cholesterol. Loperamide had no significant effect on serum lipid profiles. Loperamide decreased the number and wet weight of fecal pellets and fecal water content MP increased the number and wet weight of fecal pellets and fecal water content in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, MP increased gut transit time and transit speed, and the guts of mts treated with MP plus loperamide were longer than those of mts treated with loperamide alone. These results indicate that MP is an effective treatment for constipation.
