본 연구는 식이에 결명자 분말 첨가가 흰쥐 체내의 카드뮴 축적작용에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고자 행하였다. 실험 동물은 Sprague-Dawley계(4주령,♂) 5마리를 한 군으로 정상군(Cn) 대조군(Cs), 카드윰 첨가군(Cl), 결명자(C2, C3, C4) 분말을 각각 0.5, 1.0,1.5% 수준으로 첨가한 군으로 나누어 S주간 실험을 수행하여 성장률, 식이 효율, Cd 축적량을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 체중 증가 경향은 C3>C2>C4>Cn>Cs>Cl군 순이었으며, 카드뮴만을 섭취한 Cl군이 가장 낮았으며, Cl군과 C3군 사이에 1%수준에서 유의성이 인정되었다. 2. 식이 효을은 C3>C2>Cs>Cn>C4>Cl군 순이었으며, 식이 효율이 가장 낮은 Cl군보다 각각 22.87, 19.89, 18.54, 14.20, 13.17% 높은 식이 효율을 보였다. 3. 날 결명자 분말을 첨가한 군의 각 장기 즉, 뇌, 심장, 비장, 간, 폐, 고환, 신장, 대퇴부근육, 다리뼈에 축적된 카드뮴 함량은 각각 0.45$pm$0.04～0.83$pm$0.04, 1.68 $pm$0.02～2.16$pm$0.02, 3.26$pm$0.05～4.62$pm$0.27, 37.82$pm$0.09～47.71 $pm$0.73, 1.07$pm$0.10～1.66$pm$0.04, 1.030$pm$0.06～l.24$pm$0.08, 36.79$pm$0.20～39.61 $pm$0.53, 0.87$pm$0.02～1.00$pm$0.02, 0.65$pm$0.17～l.27$pm$0.06 $mu$g/g 범위였다. 4. 날결명자 분말첨가군 각 조직에 축적된 카드뮴 함량이 제일 낮았던 C4를 Cl과 비교한 결과 뇌, 심장, 비장, 간, 폐, 고환, 신장, 대퇴부근육, 다리뼈에 각각 49.03, 22.56, 36.02, 35.75, 41.75, 36.20, 37.00, 22.77, 56.67 %의 감소를 보였으며, 각 장기의 함량은 뇌<다리뼈<대퇴부 근육<고환<폐<심장<비장<신장<간 순 이었다. 5. 카드뮴 총 섭취량으로 장기 및 조직의 카드뮴 평균함량에 대한 축적율은 카드뮴만 섭취한 군(Cl) 의 경우 7.14%이었으며, 결명자 분말 첨가군인 C2, C3, C4군의 경우 각각 4.91, 4.81, 4.50 %이었다. 6. 체모의 카드뮴 함량은 Cl군이 가장 높았고, 결명자 첨가군들의 카드뮴 함량은 6주째까지 모든 시험군에서 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 6주 이후에는 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 7. 분변 중 카드뮴 함량은 C4군이 가장 높았고, 결명자 첨가군들의 카드뮴 함량은 C3군과 C4군을 제외한 나머지 군들에서 완만하게 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 6주째에 카드뮴 함량이 감소되는 경향을 보였다가 6주 이후에 다시 카드뮴 함량이 증가하는 경향이었다.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of raw Cassia tora L. powder added-diets on reducing cadmium accumulation in rats. The experimental animals were Sprague-Dawley family(♂, 4 weeks) which was classified into normal group CN, compared group CS, Cd-added group Cl and groups C2, C3, C4 in which 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% of the Cassia tora L. powder are added, respectively. The growth rate and food efficiency ratio, and the amounts of accumulated cadmium in rats for S weeks were measured and analyzed. The results are as follows; 1. The rates of weight gain decreased in the order of C3>C2>C4>Cn>Cs>Cl groups, and Cl group to which only cadmium water had been fed was the lowest among them. The correlation between groups Cl and C3 was significantly different at the 1% level. 2. Food efficiency ratio(FER) decreased in the order of C3>C2>Cs>Cn>C4>Cl, and the FERs of C3, C2, CS, CN and C4 are greater than that of Cl by 22.87, 19.59, 18.54, 14.20 and 13.17%, respectively. 3. As for the Cassia tora L. powder-added groups, the amounts of cadmium accumulated in organs and tissues, that is, the brain, heart, spleen, liver, lungs, testicles. kidney, femoral muscle and leg bones were 0.45 $pm$ 0.04 to 0.83$pm$0.04, 1.68$pm$0.02 to 2.16$pm$0.02, 3.26$pm$0.05 to 4.62$pm$0.27, 37.52$pm$0.09 to 47.71$pm$0.73, 1.07$pm$0.10 to 1.66$pm$0.04, 1.04$pm$0.06 to 1.24$pm$0.08, 36.79$pm$0.20 to 39.61 $pm$0.53, 0.87$pm$0.02 to 1.00$pm$0.02 and 0.65$pm$0.17 to 1.27 $pm$ 0.06 $mu extrm{g}$/g, respectively. 4. The accumulated Cd content for C4 was the lowest among Cassia tora L. powder-added groups. When the results for C4 are compared with those for Cl, it is observed that each cadmium content accumulated in the brain, heart spleen, liver, lungs, testicles, kidney. femoral muscle and leg bones is dropped by 49.03, 22.56, 36.02, 35.75, 41.75, 36.20, 37.00, 22.77 and 56.67 %, respectively. On the other hand. the accumulated Cd content increased in the order of brain <leg bones <femoral muscle <testicles <lungs <heart <spleen <kidney <liver. 5. The average Cd accumulation rate in organs and tissues relative to the total Cd intake was 7.14% for Cl, while they are 4.91, 4.81 and 4.50% for Cassia tora L. powder-added Uoups C2, C3 and C4. respectively. 6. The Cd content accumulated in the hair f3r Cl was the highest, and those for Cassia tora L. powder-added groups gradually increased until 6 weeks and decreased after that. 7. The Cd content accumulated in the feces for C4 was the highest, and those fur the groups other than C3 and C4 gradually decreased until 6 weeks and increased after that.
