This study was designed to observe the body growth and components of edible mugwort (Artemisia sp.) and medicinal mugwort(Kanghwa medicinal mugwort). Twenty-four young rats of Sprague Dawley strain, body weight of about 89g were used in this study. They were fed on the basal diet(control diet) supplemented with 5% edible mugwort powder(EM diet) and 5% medicinal mugwort powder(MM diet) for 4 weeks respectively. In proximate composition of nutrients of mugwort in dry basis(100g), crude protein(16.4g) and crude ash(11.8g) contents of EM were higher to about 2% than that of MM, but crude lipid content(4.3g) of EM was lower to about 2% than that of MM. However, the contents in calcium(6.9g) of MM was higher to 5.3 times than that of EM, but in Mn(17㎎), Zn(0.5㎎), Fe(131㎎), Mg(337㎎) of EM were higher to 2.8∼2.3 times and vitamin A(39, 776 IU) of EM was higher to 2.9 times than that of MM respectively. Body wight gain rate and diet efficiency ratio of EM and MM diet group were similar to that of the control group. The contents of total protein, albumin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, glucose, amylase, transaminase(GOT, GPT) in serum exhibited no remarkable difference among of the EM and MM diet group but the level of LDH activity of MM diet group were significantly lower than that of the control group and EM diet group.
