Bittern is mainly used as a magnesium source at present. In this study, we used a bittern solution containing magnesium (Mg2+) at 10.2g/100ml. We assessed the effects of bittern on the activity of pancreatic lipase in assay systems using triolein emulsified with phosphatidylcholine and on the elevation of plasma triacylglycerol levels by the oral administration of a lipid emulsion to rats. Bittern inhibited the hydrolysis of triolein emulsified with phosphatidylcholine by pancreatic lipase in vitro. It also reduced the elevation of rat plasma triacylglycerol levels after the oral administration of a lipid emulsion containing corn oil at doses of 0.0435m1/kg and 4.75m1/kg. In addition, we examined the effects of an MgCl2 solution, which is the primary component of bittern, on the activity of pancreatic lipase and on the plasma triacylglycerol elevation in rats administered the oral lipid emulsion. The MgC12 solution inhibited the pancreatic lipase activity in a dose-dependent manner in vitro, and at doses of 37.6mg/kg and 4.lg/kg, significantly reduced the elevation of plasma triacylglycerol levels. The anti-hyperlipidemic action of the bittern solution suggests that it is the MgC12 content that inhibits the intestinal absorption of dietary fat.
