고지방식이로 비만 및 고지혈이 유발된 실험동물에서 체중, 혈중지질, 체지방, 혈청생화학적 검사 및 장기무게를 측정하여 진피에탄올추출물 섭취로 인한 혈중지질 개선, 체지방 감량 및 시험물질의 간기능 및 장기무게 변화에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 체중 및 사료이용효율은 고지방식이에 의해 대조군에서 증가현상을 보였으며, 진피 에탄올추출물 섭취군인 O1과 O5군에서 시험물질 섭취로 인한 체중증가량 감소와 식이효율 감소현상을 보였다. 혈청 생화학적
In this work, the major flavonoid content of citrus peel ethanol extract and the changes in the serum lipid and body fat of high-fat-diet-fed rats were examined. The subjects were divided into four groups: the normal, control, O1 (0.1% citrus peel ethanol extract), and O5 (0.5% citrus peel ethanol extract) groups. The experimental groups (O1 and O5) were fed a high-fat diet mixed with 0.1 and 0.5% citrus peel ethanol extract, respectively, for 10 weeks. The results of the analysis showed that the main ingredients of the flavonoid in the citrus peel ethanol extract (60 brix) were mg/g hesperidin and mg/g narirutin. With regard to the changes in the serum total-cholesterol level, compared with the control group's mg/dL, the serum total-cholesterol levels of the O1 and O5 groups were significantly lowered to and mg/dL, respectively. As for the changes in the LDL-cholesterol level, compared with the control group's mg/dL, the LDL-cholesterol levels of the O1 and O5 groups were significantly lowered to and mg/dL, respectively. For the changes in the serum triglyceride level, compared with the control group's mg/dL, the serum triglyceride level of the O5 group was significantly lowered to mg/dL. Finally, with regard to the changes in body fat, compared with the control group, the 05 group showed a significant decrease. In conclusion, it was observed that citrus peel ethanol extract was effective in lowering the total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride levels of high-fat-diet-fed rats.
