Abstract

The present invention relates to a beverage composition for improving erectile dysfunction comprising domestic maca and a process for producing the same.

Description

The present invention relates to a drink for improving erectile dysfunction,

The present invention relates to a food and health functional food field, and more particularly, to a composition for improving erectile dysfunction including domestic maca and a process for producing the same.

Erectile dysfunction refers to the case where the male erectile function is not sufficient for sexual activity or the erectile state can not be maintained even if the erect state is present. Erectile dysfunction refers to the case where sexual dysfunction occurs in about 25% of the total sex. The causes of erectile dysfunction can be classified into psychogenic and mental problems caused by mental or physical problems. In particular, about 50% or more of total erectile dysfunction is mature, and the proportion of maternal is further increased with age. Psychological factors include anxiety for failure, guilt, fear, depression, mental conflict with women, lack of physical attractiveness of women, and worry about aging. Substantial erectile dysfunction includes neurotic, endocrine, vascular, Neurogenic erectile dysfunction is caused by brain tumor, spinal cord injury, peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes or chronic alcoholism. The penile erection phenomenon is caused by the relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle of the cavernous cavernosum and the increase of the blood flow. When the sexual reaction occurs, relaxation reaction occurs by the endothelial relaxation factor, nitric oxide (NO) secreted from the vascular endothelial cells.

    NO is a potent neurotransmitter of nonadenergic noncholinergic (NANC) neurons in the central and peripheral nervous system and is biosynthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO promotes the biosynthesis of cyclic-GMP (c-GMP) through activation of guanylate cyclase in the corpus cavernosum, and therefore, expansion of vascular smooth muscle through c-GMP and increase of intracerebral blood inflow enable erection (8). In addition, c-GMP is degraded by phosphodiesterase (PDE), and the activity of PDE is inhibited in order to maintain paw function (9,10). Recently, sildenafil (Viagra, Pfizer), a PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type V) inhibitor, has been approved by the FDA as an effective oral treatment for erectile dysfunction, and has been widely prescribed in Korea due to the development of Zydena in Dong- . Sildenafil inhibits cGMP degradation by inhibiting PDE5 and induces penile erection under sexual excitement. Except for the fact that it is a temporary drug only for sexual intercourse and has few complications such as blood pressure and death, and is positive for improving erectile function, erectile dysfunction is essential And the use of the drug as a medicament to be treated is difficult. Therefore, many research capabilities are being applied to natural products or herbal medicines that can treat erectile dysfunction while minimizing human side effects through the current administration.

Maca, which is used not only as food but also as a traditional medicine, is known to be very effective in enhancing sexual function among both Indians in the Andean region, and has been proven through animal experiments and clinical trials. Zheng et al. (14) reported that when maca extracts were consumed in rats with testicles removed, the time to erection was significantly reduced as well as the erectile function. Cicero et al. . In addition, Gonzales et al., In healthy adult men aged 21-56, consumed 1.5 g and 3.0 g of maca a day for about 12 weeks, and after 8 weeks of intake, the maca intake group was significantly . However, there was no correlation between male sex hormone and sex hormone. However, the effect on the sexual function improvement of maca known to date is mostly in the peracid, and research on domestic maca has not been reported yet. Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0017478 discloses a microbial fermentation composition for tanning using maca, And the constitution thereof is different from that of the present invention as an invention relating to the production method.

≪ Preparation Example > Preparation of maca extract

Maca was produced and tested with 9 kinds of extracts, which are different from solvent and extraction temperature, using 3 kinds of Peru and domestic. (Water, 50% ethanol) of 10 times the weight of maca was added, and the mixture was heated and extracted twice at 80 ° C with water extraction at 60 ° C and 100 ° C using a reflux condenser for 2 hours. The extracts were filtered, concentrated and lyophilized (PETED10R, Ilsinbiobase, Dongducheon, Korea). The extraction conditions are shown in Table 1 below.

Figure 112015128783212-pat00001

The imported maca (premium) and imported maca (normal type) in Table 1 are Peru acid, DW means purified water, and 50% EtOH means ethanol mixed with ethanol and distilled water at a volume ratio of 50:50.

≪ Experimental Example 1 > Cell line and cell culture

HUVEC, a human umbilical vein epithelial cell line, was used to investigate the effect of maca extract on NO (vasodilator) production. The HUVAC cell line was purchased from the Korean Cell Line Bank, and 10% fetal bovine serum (PAA, Etobicoke, ON, canada) which was heat-treated at 56 ° C for 30 min and antibiotics (penicilin / streptomycin, Lonza, Walkersville , MD, USA) was added and incubated at 37 ° C in a humidified 90%, 5% CO 2 incubator.

<Experimental Example 2> Measurement of NO (notric oxide) concentration

Using 9 kinds of maca extracts listed in Table 1, the effect on the production of NO as a blood vessel relaxation factor was examined. HUVEC cells were diluted at a concentration of 1 × 10 5 cells / mL in a 12-well culture dish and dispensed. After 24 hours, the extract was treated with 200 ug / ml of the extract and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) as a positive control. Cell culture was obtained 24 hours after the treatment. The cell culture of the treated group was centrifuged to obtain supernatant. Then, the supernatant was mixed with 150 μl of the supernatant, 20 μl of the griess reagent reagent, and 130 μl of H 2 O, and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for 30 minutes. The absorbance of the reaction was then measured at 548 nm using a microplate reader (Bio-Tek).

Experimental Example 3 Breeding and Diet of Experimental Animals

In the experimental group, Sprague Dawley male rats (KOSA BIO), which was 7 weeks old, were adapted to general diet for 1 week. Then, total weight of rats was divided into 5 groups of 9 rats per liver Respectively. The temperature of the laboratory animal room was maintained at 22 ± 2 ℃ and the relative humidity was maintained at 50 ± 5%. The darkness was controlled to 12 hours (7:00 19:00). The animal test was conducted with the permission of the Animal Experimental Ethics Committee (BBRI-IACUC-15003) of the Center for Efficacy Assessment of the Barry & Bio Foods Research Institute.

The classification of the experimental group, the substance to be administered and the dose are shown in Table 2 below. In the control and experimental groups, erectile dysfunction was induced by chronic alcohol intoxication with daily oral administration of 20% EtoH. In the experimental group, 250, 500, and 1000 mg / kg of maca extract per body weight were administered once a day for 30 days Orally. The control group received the same amount of water. Diets were chow diet, filtered and sterilized with ultraviolet sterilizer. Body weight was measured once a week, and dietary and intakes were measured weekly at the same time.

Figure 112015128783212-pat00002

<Experimental Example 4> Blood collection and tissue collection

Sacrifice was carried out after fasting for 12 hours. Anesthetized with diethyl ether, blood was drawn through the abdominal vein immediately after opening. The blood in the EDTA tube was centrifuged at 2,000 g for 10 minutes and the supernatant was separated. The serum was separated and analyzed by GOT and GPT. The testis, seminal vesicles and penile corpuscles were separated and weighed, and the tissues were stored frozen at 80 ° C for analysis.

<Experimental Example 5> Measurement of sperm count in testis

After the incision of the abdomen of the rats, both testes were weighed and the tunica albuginea was removed. The testis was then incubated with 20 ml of physiological saline solution at 37 ° C for 20 minutes in a 50 ml test tube, and incubated with a hematocytometer .

<Experimental Example 6> Separation of corpus cavernosum and NO (nitric oxide) analysis in cavernosal bodies

Rat was sacrificed by ether and the lower abdomen was incised, and the penis tissue was removed to the site where it was branched down to the pubic bone. The penile corpuscles were separated from the extracted penis tissue, cleaned with physiological saline, and the remaining foreign substances and blood were removed with a filter paper. After the homogenization of the corpus cavernosum, an enzyme source was obtained and used for NO determination. The procedure for obtaining the enzyme source was carried out using the Nitric Oxide Assay Kit (ab65328, abcam, Cambridge, UK).

<Experimental Example 7> Analysis of serum testosterone

Serum was used to determine testosterone content in serum using the Testosterone ELISA kit (ab108666, abcam).

The statistical analysis of Experimental Examples 1 to 7 is shown by the mean ± standard deviation of the experimental results. Stdent's t- test method was used for statistical analysis between the two groups. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant

(1) NO concentration change in HUVEC cells

2 is a graph showing the effect of maca extract on the production of nitric oxide (NO), a vasodilator.

2, 9 kinds of maca extracts were used to investigate the effect of maca on the production of NO, a vasodilator. The positive control group, SNP, is separated into cyanide and NO through interaction with oxyhemoglobin. It is known that isolated NO stimulates guanylate cyclase (GC) of smooth muscle to increase the production of cGMP, resulting in vasorelaxation. In the above experiment, NO was increased 2.2 or 8.9 times at 20 and 100 uM, respectively. In the case of maca extract, it was 2.3 times higher than that of 20 uM in the positive control group. Based on this, a sample of domestic animal maca 60 ℃ water extract was selected.

(2) Weight gain, negative intake and dietary intake

In SD rats, erectile dysfunction was induced by 20% ethanol, and the extracts of maca were orally administered at 250, 500, and 1000 mg / kg. The body weight gain, the amount of water intake, and the amount of dietary intake of the test animals were as shown in Table 3 below. Weight gain tended to decrease in the erectile dysfunctional animal model compared to the normal control group, but did not change significantly in the maca-treated group, but the maca extract was administered at a dose of 500 or 1000 mg / Significant changes were investigated. Negative intake was significantly reduced in the erectile dysfunctional animal model compared to the normal control group, but there was no significant decrease in dietary intake. On the other hand, administration of maca extract 500 and 1000 mg / kg was significantly increased in both drinking water and dietary intake.

Figure 112015128783212-pat00003

(3) Reproductive organ and number of spermatids in maca

Table 4 shows the results of comparing the weights of erectile dysfunctional testes and seminal vesicles with erectile dysfunction model after oral administration of distilled water or macaques for 4 weeks. The weight of testis and seminal vesicle decreased numerically by ethanol administration, but statistically similar to the control group.

Figure 112015128783212-pat00004

3 is a graph showing the effect of maca extract on the number of spermatozoa. As shown in FIG. 3, the number of spermatozoa in the erectile dysfunction model group was decreased in comparison with that in the normal group, and in the group treated with the maca extract, the concentration of the erectile dysfunction model was significantly increased from 2 to 3.3 times. Gonzales et al. Reported that weight loss and reduced sperm counts induced in high altitude regions were suppressed in maca-fed rats. In addition, rats that had decreased sperm counts by treatment with insecticides such as malicion and acaricide also showed improvement in sperm count Has been proven. Therefore, it can be said that the production of sperm which was inhibited by ethanol administration can significantly increase the production of sperm by the administration of maca.

(4) Effect of maca on NO production in penile corpus cavernosum of experimental animals

4 is a graph showing the results of analysis of NO content in the corpus cavernosum. As shown in FIG. 4, ethanol-administered erectile dysfunctional animal model group was reduced by about 23.7% compared with the normal group. On the other hand, the concentration of NO in the group treated with erectile dysfunction induction was increased in a concentration - dependent manner. Especially, the increase of NO content was observed at 1.4 and 1.3 times, respectively, in maca 500 and 1000 mg / kg group compared with the erectile dysfunctional animal model group. The results of this study were the same as those of previous studies (21). Therefore, it is suggested that maca can improve the erectile dysfunction by increasing the NO content in the corpus cavernosum.

(5) Effect of maca on GOT and GPT concentrations in serum of experimental animals

5 is a graph showing the effect of maca on GOT and GPT concentrations in serum of experimental animals. Referring to FIG. 5, GOT and GPT are damaged by hepatic enzymes, resulting in destruction of hepatocytes and release of blood, which is higher than normal values. In other words, GOT and GPT measurements can be used to indirectly determine whether liver damage has occurred. GOT / GPT levels were increased in the erectile dysfunction model group but not in the normal control group and the erectile dysfunction model group. In the 250 mg / kg group, there was no improvement in liver damage, but in the 500 and 1000 mg / kg groups, GOT / GPT decreased and was effective in improving liver damage.
