재래적인 방법으로 제조된 죽력의 생리활성 효능을 구명하기 위하여 in vitro에서 항산화활성 및 HMG-CoA reductase 저해활성과 in vivo에서 고콜레스테롤혈증 개선효능을 실험하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다 1. In vitro에서, Rancimat로 측정한 항산화활성은 죽력 1.25희석액과 원액은 대조구보다 높았고, HMG-Co A reductase저해활성은 죽력 원액이 57.9이었고 1.25희석액은 36.0이 었다. 2. In
The purposes of this study were to investigate effects of Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen(BCL) on antioxidant activities and inhibitory activities of HMG-CoA reductase of in vitro, and lipid metabolism in rats fed the high cholesterol diet in vivo. Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing l0010 g were devided into five groups ; normal group(NOR), the high cholesterol diet administered group(1 cholesterol and 0.25 sodium cholate)(CON), 5 BCL administered group (5BL), the high cholesterol diet and 5 BCL administered group (5BCB) and the high cholesterol diet and 10\ BCL administered group (10BCB), respectively. In antioxidative activities of BCL using Rancimat in vitro, 1.25 diulent and original solution were more excellent activities than the control group, and in inhibiting activities of HMG-CoA reductase, BCL was shown inhibitory effects compared with the control, in dose dependent manners, especially 57.9 in original solution and 36.0 in 1.25 diulent. The growth rate of the control group was higher than the normal group, wheras the group given 5 BCL and 10 BCL were gradually decreased, especially the most excellent effect in 10 BCL. Serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and free cholesterol were significantly decreased, whereas levels of HDL-cholesterol and phospholipid were increased, but not significantly. BCL administered group was increased in HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio and lowered antherogenic index. The activities of AST in serum were rather lowered in the BCL administration group than the cholesterol diet group, but not in ALT and ALP. The hepatic contents of total cholesterol were lowered significantly than control group, but not in triglyceride. Therefore, it might be expected that BCL is believed to be a possible protective or curative effects for fatty livers and hyperlipidemia-induced by a hi~h cholesterol diet.
