Objectives: This study investigated the effect of SM-2015 on blood alcohol clearance and hangover. We undertook this study to test whether SM-2015 is effective in decreasing blood alcohol concentration and preventing the symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover. Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers participated in this randomized crossover study. All participants were classified between an SM-2015 intake group (test group) and a non-intake group (control group). The primary outcome measure was the difference in blood alcohol concentration and hangover severity scores between the test and control groups. The secondary outcome measure was the difference in a liver function test (LFT) between the test and control groups. Results: After alcohol exposure, the sensitivity scores of blood alcohol concentration and hangover symptoms (sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, weakness, stomach pain, diarrhea, and concentration disorder) were significantly decreased in the SM-2015 intake group compared with the non-intake group. There were no differences in the LFT results between the SM-2015 intake group and the non-intake group. Conclusions: SM-2015 is effective in decreasing blood alcohol concentration and preventing the symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover. Larger studies are required to confirm these findings.

The fruit stalk of Hovenia dulcis (H.dulcis) is traditionally used to relieve hangovers in Korea. Theracurmin is a highly absorbable curcumin preparation which increases the bioavailability of curcumin. Curcumin is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the role of this combination in lowering alcohol levels in the body, thereby alleviating the severity of alcohol-induced hangover has not been investigated. Therefore, we conducted a study to investigate the eliminatory effects of a health drink containing the extract of the H. dulcis fruit stalk and theracurmin (theracurmin drink) on ethanol-induced hangover in rats. The theracurmin drink delivered orally to rats 30 mins before the administration of 40% ethanol (5 g/kg body weight), lowered the concentration of ethanol and acetaldehyde in the blood samples collected 1, 3, and 5 h after ethanol administration. Furthermore, the theracurmin drink increased the activities of alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes. The effectiveness of the theracurmin drink was thus superior to that of other health drink products, suggesting that its consumption may alleviate or prevent an alcohol-induced hangover.

Objectives : This study investigated the effect of Sinseonbulchuidan (SBD-1) on hangover syndrome. We undertook this study to test whether SBD-1 is effective in preventing the signs and symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover. Methods : Fifteen healthy volunteers participated in this double-blind randomized crossover study. All participants received either SBD-1 or indistinguishable placebo capsules before alcohol consumption. The primary outcome measure was the difference in hangover severity scores between SBD-1 and placebo intervention. Secondary outcome measure was the difference in profile of mood states (POMS) between SBD-1 and placebo intervention. Results : After alcohol exposure, the overall symptom scores were significantly decreased in the SBD-1 group compared with those given a placebo. The mean scores for the hangover symptoms were high in the placebo group, and statistical significance was observed in 4 symptom scores (loss of appetite, stomachache, nausea, and total score). There were no differences in the POMS and cognitive performance test results between SBD-1 and placebo intervention. Conclusions : We conclude that the SBD-1 is effective in preventing the signs and symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover. Larger studies are required to confirm these findings.

Background: Excessive alcohol consumption is at the root of serious social problems such as hangovers, liver dysfunction, and alcoholism. Objectives: This study was carried out to determine the hangover ameliorating effect of fermented rice extract and a combination of yeast-fermented powder and lysate containing aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) (improved new ingredients) in an ethanol-induced rat study. Methods: The concentrations of alcohol, acetaldehyde, and malondialdehye in serum were evaluated to assess the anti-alcohol and anti-aldehyde hangover effect in two experiments, one with fermented rice extract) and a second with yeast-fermented powder and lysate, using animal studies. Results: Experiment 2 with yeast-fermented powder and lysate containing ALDH showed similar and higher activity, respectively, in reducing ethanol and acetaldehyde concentration compared with Experiment 1 with fermented rice extract. Experiment 2 also significantly reduced malondialdehyde, a type of lipid peroxide. The ALDH-related compound (ARC) lysate showed better hangover relief effect than ARC powder. Conclusions: These results indicate that ALDH-related compounds exhibit a hangover relief effect, and fermented lysate is considered to be a better candidate for hangover relief.

본 연구에서는 숙취해소에 좋은 것으로 알려진 식품 소재와 황칠나무 추출물을 복합하여 in vitro 및 in vivo에서 알코올 유도된 간 손상에 대한 보호효과를 검토하였다. HepG2세포에서 300 mM 알코올과 SBJ 혼합물을 처리하였을 때 농도 의존적으로 LDH 수치가 감소하였으나 황칠나무 추출물을 제외한 복합물인 SBJ-복합물에서는 그 효과가 유의적으로 낮아지는 것을 관찰하였다. In vivo에서 SBJ 혼합물의 보호효과를 확인하고자 흰쥐에 알코올과 SBJ 혼합물을 투여한 결과, 알코올 투여 후 1시간까지 급격하게 혈중 알코올 수치가 EtOH군에서 증가하는 것이 관찰되었으며, SBJ 혼합물 투여군은 유의적인 차이로 감소되었음이 관찰되었으며 또한 농도의존적인 경향을 확인하였다. ADH 및 ALDH 활성의 증가는 SBJ 혼합물의 알코올 분해 및 대사산물의 제거 활성에 기여할 것으로 예상된다. 뿐만 아니라, 알코올에 의하여 증가한 LDH의 농도가 대조군과 유사한 수준으로 유지하는 것을 확인하였으며, GST, SOD, GPx 및 reduced glutathione와 같은 항산화 인자 및 효소의 활성은 대조군보다 EtOH군이 유의적으로 감소했으며, SBJ 혼합물에 의해 개선되는 경향을 관찰하였다. 이를 통해 SBJ 혼합물은 ADH, ALDH 활성 증가 및 항산화 방어계를 향상시킴으로써 산화적 스트레스 감소를 통한 간보호 효과가 있는 것으로 생각되며, 이러한 간보호에 미치는 주요한 추출물은 황칠나무 추출물임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 향후 숙취해소 작용을 갖는 신규 식품소재로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 알코올성 간손상이나 간건강에 효과가 있는 천연물 원료를 포함하는 숙취해소제들이 시판되고 있다. 하지만 간손상이나 간건강에 대한 기능성은 숙취해소와는 다르기 때문에 숙취해소제들의 숙취해소 효능 검증이 필요하다. 본 연구는 국내의 4가지 숙취해소제의 효능을 알코올에 의한 숙취유도 흰쥐 모델에서 비교 조사하고자 하였다. 4가지 샘플들은 각각 C, M, R, S로 명명되었다. 동물실험에서 숙취 완화 효능은 혈중 알코올 및 아세탈데히드 농도로 평가되기 때문에 각 샘플들의 효과를 혈중 알코올과 아세탈데히드의 농도와 AUC (Area Under the Curve)로 평가하였다. 알코올 투여는 유의적으로 흰쥐의 혈중 알코올과 아세탈데히드 농도를 증가시켰다. 샘플 C, M, R, S순으로 에탄올의 Cmax와 AUC 감소율은 각각 5.9%, 3.1%, 8.4%, 11.7%와 8.9%, 2.2%, 12.1%, 19.6%였다. 아세탈데히드의 경우, 같은 샘플 순서로 Cmax는 14.2%, 15.2%, 28.2%, 35.0% 감소하였으며, AUC는 21.6%, 7.5%, 22.4%, 29.9%의 감소율을 보였다. 결론적으로, 샘플 S, R, C, M순으로 4개의 샘플 모두 EtOH군에 대비하여 숙취가 해소되는 경향을 보였으나, 샘플 S만이 에탄올과 아세탈데히드의 혈중 농도와 AUC 모두에서 통계적으로 유의적인 감소율을 보였다. 따라서 이러한 실험결과는 시중에 판매되는 숙취해소제의 객관적인 효능 검증이 부족하다는 것을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability and effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen chamber on alcohol-induced oxidative stress and hangover. In order to evaluate them, 20 healthy adults were tested for blood and hangover stress tests. When an exponential change was examined after 3 interventions (hangover drink, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and normal chamber as placebo effect) of 1 hour, the heart rate of subjects experiencing a hyperbaric oxygen chamber showed a statistically significant decrease (p < 0.001). The tests of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) as for exquisite hematology analysis, glucose, creatinine, and AST (aspartate aminotransferase) as well as ALT (alanine aminotransferase) used as liver-damage indicator show that the hyperbaric chamber has the effective effect. In the test of lactic acid, CRP (c-reactive protein), cortisol, and creatinine, the hyperbaric chamber shows much more excellent effect than the hangover drink and normal chamber as control groups. Further studies on hyperbaric oxygen chamber intervention including this study could be very helpful for improving lives of both the patients and healthy people.

This study was designed to elucidate the effect of fermented blackberry drinks (BD) on alcohol metabolism and hangover in alcohol-treated rats. We showed that the administration of BD increased the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in alcohol-treated rats. Moreover, the administration of BD reduced the serum alcohol and acetaldehyde concentrations in alcohol-treated rats. Furthermore, the administration of BD attenuated the levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in alcohol-treated rats. Taken together, these results suggest that BD plays an important role in alcohol metabolism and liver function by reducing blood alcohol and acetaldehyde through the activation of ADH and ALDH in alcohol-treated rats and could be used as a functional anti-hangover drinks.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and hangover cure effects of compound prescription containing Phyllanthus emblica and Azadirachta Indica leaf extract (CP). In vitro experiments, HepG2 cells were induced oxidative stress by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and treated with CP at 50, 100, 200 ㎍/㎖ concentration. Antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalse (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) activity and glutathione (GSH) content were decreased by hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress, but CP was increased that. In vivo experiments, experiment rats were orally administered alcohol 3 g/kg and, after 30 min administered CP 200 mg/kg. After 1 and 3 h of alcohol administration, blood was collected from the tail vein, while after 5 h, blood was collected from the heart. CP modulates alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde level, thereby decreased alcohol level in serum. Also, CP decreased the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). These results suggest that CP has antioxidant effects and alleviates alcohol hangover symptoms.

본 연구에서는 알코올을 섭취한 흰쥐에서 알코올 대사와 혈액가스 불균형에 대한 꾸지뽕 나무 뿌리 추출물 (이하 CTE)의 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 알코올을 10 ml/kg의 농도로 흰쥐에게 경구 투여하였고, 섭취 30분 후 CTE를 500 mg/kg 및 750 mg/kg의 농도로 투여하였다. 혈액은 알코올 섭취 1시간, 3시간, 5시간 후 꼬리 정맥을 통하여 채취하였다. 양성 대조군은 시판되고 있는 숙취해소 음료 (컨디션)를 사용하였다. 약물 처리는 모두 단회 경구 투여로 진행되었다. CTE의 섭취는 흰쥐의 혈액과 간 조직 내 알코올 대사 효소인 알코올 분해효소 (alcohol dehydrogenase)와 아세트알데히드 분해효소(acetaldehyde dehydrogenase)를 증가 또는 유지시킴으로써 혈중 알코올 농도를 감소시켰다. 또한, CTE는 알코올섭취에 의한 혈액가스 (pH, $CO_2$, $HCO_3{^-}$, lactic acid)의 불균형을 회복시켰다. 결론적으로, CTE는 현재 시판되고 있는 숙취해소음료 보다 우수한 숙취 해소 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구자는 CTE를 숙취 해소 및 예방을 위한 천연물 유래의 안전하고 새로운 물질로써 제시하는 바이다.
