佳葉龍茶對大鼠肝臟血清指數之影響
The Effect of GABA Tea on Liver Protection Functions in Rats
摘要
佳葉龍茶（GABA TEA）中所含的γ-胺基丁酸（γ-AminoButyricAcid, GABA）成分具有降血壓、解酒、保腎等作用，皆已經由人體或動物相關實驗証實。但在關於肝臟血清值方面，則尚無任何文獻報導。故本研究擬對佳葉龍茶進行深入的動物肝功能相關實驗，以瞭解佳葉龍茶對大鼠肝臟血清指數之影響。由結果可知在大鼠體重成長方面，是以佳葉龍茶實驗之各個處理組最為緩慢，且1倍劑量處理組之大鼠體重，相對較重於5倍、10倍劑量的兩個處理組。在臟器重量實驗結果顯示，佳葉龍茶具有降低四氯化碳（Carbon tetrachloride, CCl4）造成的肝、脾、腎三臟器腫大的傾向。而在血清值之測定結果顯示，於麩胺酸草（酰）醋酸胺基酵素（Serum lutamic-Oxalocetic Transaminase, GOT）、麩胺基酸焦葡萄轉胺基酵素（Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase, GPT）、三酸甘油酯、膽固醇之量測結果顯示，1倍與5倍劑量佳葉龍茶處理組及水飛薊素（Silymarin）組表現較佳，可抑制CCl4造成的肝損傷，具有護肝之功能。
並列摘要
GABA tea is a new functional tea, which contains high amounts of γ-aminobutyric acid. This has been confirmed by human or animal experiments. There are no details of serum liver values in any references. For each treatment group that drinks GABA tea, the body weight of large mice increases slowly. The large mouse group which is subject to one dose treatment experiences a five-fold gain in body weight and this gain is ten-fold for the group which undergoes two dose treatments. The measurements of the weight of the internal organs shows that GABA tea reduces the tendency towards tumescence in the liver, the spleen and that CCl4 creates. The measurements for the blood serum value finally demonstrate that after five doses of GABA tea produces a five-fold increase in in GOT, GPT, triglycerides, cholesterol, urea nitrogen, creatinine, bilirubin and the Silymarin group performs best. This suppresses the liver damage that CCl4 causes and has a protective function for the liver.
