모시잎이 고지방-고콜레스테롤 식이 흰쥐의 지질대사 개선 및 항비만 효과에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the effects of ramie(Boehmeria nivea) leaves powder on improvement of lipid metabolism on serum, liver and adipose tissue, and anti-obesity effect in rats fed high fat-high cholesterol diet for 4 weeks to induce hyperlipidemic and obese model rat. It was also conducted to investigate the major chemical components of dried ramie leaves. The proximate compositions of ramie leaves powder as dry matter basis were 5.42% of moisture content, 28.15% of crude protein, 6.95% of crude fat, 15.27% of crude ash, 39.66% of dietary fiber and 4.55% of carbohydrate, respectively. The major free sugars were identified as glucose, galactose and lactose. Analysing total amino acids, 17 kinds of components were isolated from ramie leaves. The essential amino acid contained in ramie leaves accounted for 44.65% of total amino acid, while the non-essential amino acid accounted for 55.35%. Analysing free amino acids, 25 kinds of components were isolated from ramie leaves. The essential amino acid contained in ramie leaves accounted for 18.15% of free amino acid, while the non-essential amino acid accounted for 81.85%. Analysing fatty acids, only 2 kinds of caproic acid methyl ester and pentadecanoic acid were detected. The contents of vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C were 0.0194 mg%, 0.0184 mg% and 0.1833 mg%, respectively. The mineral contents of dried ramie leaves were greater in order of Cu
