This study was carried to investigate the antidiabetic and lipid metabolism of water extract paecilomyces japonica(PJ) in Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Diabetes were induced by intravenous injection of STZ at a dose of 42mg/kg dissolved in citrate buffer. The water extract of paecilomyces japonica were orally administrated once a day for 7 days at a dose of 500mg/kg or 1,000mg/kg. The contents of serum glucose, triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol were significantly decreased in PJ treated group compared to the those of STZ-control group. The content of hepatic glycogen and activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G-6-PDH), glucokinase(GK) were significantly increased, but activity of glucose-6-phoshatase(G-6-Pase) was significantly decreased in PJ treated group compared to the those of STZ-control group. These results indicated that water extract of paecilomyces japonica would have antidiabetic and lipid metabolism effect in STZ-induced diabetic rats.
This study was carried out to investigate the growth inhibition of Propionibacterium acnes by mycelial culture broth of Paecilomyces japonica in the Mulberry leaf extract. The results are as following. The growth inhibition effect of P. japonica mycelial culture broth against P. acnes in various concentration of Mulberry leaf extract was the most effective in 3% Mulberry leaf extract. The inhibition effect of P. japonica mycelial culture broth against P. acnes in Mulberry leaf extract according to the culture time was the moust effective for 25 days cultivation. As the treating volume of the mycelial culture broth was increased, the growth inhibition effect against P. acnes was increased as well. The growth inhibition effect of mycelial culture broth against P. acnes according to the time of heat treatment was active by 45min at 100℃, while it was inactive at more than 60min. Taken together P. japonica mycelial culture in the Mulbarry leaf extract has a possibility to be an element of skincare cosmetics regulating the acnes. This means that the enzyme may be used for health-care such as thrombosis without any hamful behavour in the blood vessel.
본 연구는 뽕잎 추출물에 눈꽃 동충하초 균사체(Paecilomyces japonica) 배양액의 Propionibacterium acnes에 대한 생육 억제 활성을 조사한 것이다. 배양 배지내의 뽕잎 추출물 농도는 3%일 때 가장 높은 여드름 균 생육 억제 활성이 나타났으며, 3% 농도의 뽕잎 추출물을 이용한 균사체 배양 날짜별 활성은 25일 배양시 가장 높은 여드름 균 생육 억제 활성을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 여드름 균에 생육 억제 활성을 가지는 물질은 동충하초 균사체의 2차 대사산물로 판단 할 수 있었다. 뽕잎 추출물에 동충하초 균사체 배양액의 처리농도별 여드름 활성은 처리 농도가 상승할수록 증가하였다. 그리고 5% 감자만을 넣고 배양하였을 경우 여드름 균의 활성이 나타나지 않았으며, 합성 배지인 PDB를 사용 시 뽕잎 추출물을 이용해 배양하였을 때보다 낮은 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 뽕잎 추출물에 동충하초 균사체 배양액의 여드름균 생육 억제 활성의 열 안정성을 확인하기 위한 열처리 결과, 100℃에서 45분 까지 열에 안정함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 뽕잎 추출물에 동충하초 배양액의 여드름균 생육 억제 물질은 배당체 또는 peptide 인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 뽕잎 추출물을 이용한 동충하초 균사체 배양액은 여드름균 생육 억제 활성이 뛰어나며, 열에 안정한 천연 여드름 억제 화장품료 조성물로서의 이용가능성이 확인 하였다.
