1. Test system and breeding environment

Four-week-old male specific pathogen-free ICR mice were obtained, purified for one week in the laboratory, and selected for healthy animals and used for the experiment. The individual identification of the animals was carried out using the non-marking method using black magic and the individual identification card labeling by the breeding box. Feed was freely fed the experimental animal powder feed (Samyang feed, Wonju), and water was fed tap water.

2. Test substance and excipient control substance

The test material was bamboo charcoal powder produced by Bamboo Bamboo, Damyang-gun. Bamboo charcoal was finely ground and then mixed and used in experimental animal powder feed.

3. Test method

1) Composition of test group: The test group consisted of 4 weeks autopsy group and 13 weeks autopsy group. There were 3 groups of test substance-payment groups (low dose group, medium dose group and high dose group) and negative control group for each autopsy group.

2) Preparation of test substance: First, powdered bamboo charcoal was quantified and mixed with powdered feed according to the capacity of each test group. Negative control group fed only powdered feed without bamboo charcoal.

3) Feeding dose: 2% of the bamboo charcoal feed was 2% in the high dose group, and 1 and 0.5% in the medium dose group and the low dose group for comparison.

4) Feeding of test substance: The test substance was fed for 13 weeks by mixing in the feed.

5) Observation Items

① Measurement of weight and weight gain: The weight of each animal was measured just before the start of salary using an automatic electronic balance, and the weight gain was calculated by measuring the weight once a week and the planned slaughter date thereafter.

② Feed intake measurement: Feed intake was measured at the frequency of test start and once a week, and the daily feed intake (g / mouse / day) for each individual was calculated by feeding the quantitative amount on the measurement day for each breeding box and measuring the amount remaining on the next day. It was.

③ Measurement of feed efficiency: On the day of measuring the remaining amount, the animal's daily weight gain was calculated and the feed efficiency was calculated by dividing the average feed intake by the average weight gain. The calculation is as follows.

 Food efficiency = mean body weight gain / mean food intake

④ Weighing of major organ adipose tissue: Necropsy was performed at 4 and 13 weeks after the start of feeding, and the adipose tissue was separated and removed from the periphery of the kidney (peritoneal cavity), the epididymis, the mesenteric subcutaneous fat and the scapula, respectively. , Relative weight to weight.

5) Statistical analysis

Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Analysis Systems (1997) to compare the difference between the excipient control group and the test substance feeding group. Test results are expressed in average and standard deviation as much as possible. One-way analysis of variance was used for Bartlett test (1937), and the Kruskal-Wallis test (1952) was used for non-uniform data. As a result of the analysis, the differences between groups were tested by Dunnett's multiple comparison test (1964). Statistical significance level was set at 5% and 1%.

II. Experiment result

1. Increase of gain in mice

The results of measuring the weight of the mice for 13 weeks after the start of the test substance feeding are summarized in the table in FIG. It can be seen that the weight of the test group increased compared to the control group, and as a result of calculating the body weight gain for each group during the test period, it can be seen that all the test groups increased compared to the control group.

2. Feed Intake and Feed Efficiency in Four Week Autopsy Mice

Daily feed intake, daily body weight gain and feed efficiency of the mice necropsied 4 weeks after the start of feeding were summarized as a table in FIG. 2. The daily feed intake was not statistically significant between the control group and the test group, but the daily gain and feed efficiency increased significantly in the test group compared to the control group.

3. Feed Intake and Feed Efficiency in 13 Week Autopsy Mice

Daily feed intake, daily gain and feed efficiency of the mice necropsied 13 weeks after the start of feeding were summarized as a table in FIG. As confirmed in Figure 3, the daily feed intake, daily gain and feed efficiency of the test group increased compared to the control group.

4. Weight of Major Organ Fatty Tissues in 4-week Autopsy Mice

The fat weights of the major organs of the necropsy mice 4 weeks after the start of the administration are summarized in FIG. 4. There was no statistically significant difference in the adipose tissue weights between the peritoneum and the epididymis, the mesentery subcutaneous, and the scapula between the control and administration groups, but the relative fat weight to the weight of the 2% administration group. (per body weight) decreased by 33.3%, 18.7%, 48.5% and 4.7%, respectively, compared to the control group.

5. Weight of Adipose Tissue in Major Organs of 13 Week Autopsy Mice

Fat mass of the major organs of the necropsy mice 13 weeks after the start of the administration is summarized in FIG. As a result of measuring the fat weight of the major fat accumulation site, the absolute and relative weights of the fats around the peritoneum, around the epididymis, and between the epididymis and the scapula in the 2% administration group were significantly decreased compared to the control group.
