목 적: 본 연구에서는 지백지황탕 열수추출물(수율=19.76%)의 갱년기 장애 개선 효과를 확인하기 위해 난소적출(Ovariectomy, OVX) 마우스 모델을 이용하여 estrogen 유사 효과, 항비만 효과, 고지혈증 억제 효과, 지방간에 대한 보호 효과 및 골다공증 억제 효과의 5가지 생리활성 효과로 구분하여 평가하였다. 방 법: 본 연구에서는 지백지황탕의 갱년기 장애 개선 효과를 평가하기 위해 사람의 다양한 갱년기 장애와 유사한 증상을 나타내는 난소적출 마우스모델을 활용하였다. 총 6개의 실험군에서 각 8마리의 마우스를 사용하여 위수술 sham 대조군, OVX 대조군, Estradiol 대조 약물군, 지백지황탕 500, 250, 125 mg/kg 투약 실험군으로 나누어 실험하였다. OVX 수술 28일 후부터 지백지황탕 추출물을 각각 500, 250 and 125 mg/kg으로 매일 1 회씩 84일 동안 경구투여하고, $17{\beta}$-estradiol $0.03{\mu}g/head/day$ 피하 투여군과 비교 하여 estrogen 유사 효과, 항비만 효과, 고지혈증 억제 효과, 지방간에 대한 보호 효과 및 골다공증 억제효과로 구분하여 평가 하였다. 본 실험결과는 $17{\beta}$-estradiol $0.03{\mu}g/head/day$ 피하 투여 마우스에서의 결과와 비교 평가 하였다. 결 과: 본 실험의 결과, OVX 대조군에서는 위수술 매체 대조군에 비해 현저한 체중 및 증체량, 체지방 및 복부 축적 지방량, 복부 축적 지방 중량, 혈청 중 AST, ALT, TC, LDL, TG 및 osteocalcin 함량의 증가가 자궁, 간 및 대퇴골 중량, 혈중 bALP 및 estradiol 함량, 평균 total body 골밀도 및 대퇴골 골밀도의 감소와 함께 인정되었으며, 현저한 복부 축적 지방 두께의 증가 및 지방세포의 비대, 간의 지방병증, 자궁의 불용성 위축, 대퇴골의 골량 감소 소견이 각각 인정되었다. 한편 이러한 OVX에 의해 유발된 estrogen 결핍성 폐경기 관련 갱년기 장애 소견이 지백지황탕 추출물 500, 250 및 125 mg/kg의 84일에 걸친 연속 투여에 의해 투여 용량 의존적으로 현저히 억제되었으며, 특히 지백지황탕 500 mg/kg은 estradiol $0.03{\mu}g/head/day$ 피하투여군과 유사한 갱년기 장애 개선 효과를 OVX 마우스에서 나타내었다. 결 론: 이상의 결과에서, 지백지황탕 500, 250 및 125 mg/kg의 경구투여는 OVX 마우스에서 estrogen 결핍성 폐경기 관련 갱년기 장애(비만, 고지혈증, 간 지방병증 및 골다공증) 개선 효과를 투여 용량 의존적으로 나타내었다. 그러나 지백지황탕은 총 8종의 약제로 구성되어 있고, 각각 수많은 생리활성 물질을 함유하고 있어, 향후 생리활성을 나타내는 화학성분의 검색과 더불어 다양한 방면으로 기전적인 연구가 체계적으로 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study aimed to investigate changes in the activity and mRNA expression of plasminogen activators (PAs) induced by $17{\beta}$-estradiol ($E_2$), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and interleukin-$1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$) in porcine endometrial cells. Endometrial cells were isolated from the epithelium and cultured to 80% confluence. They were then treated for 24 h with $E_2$ (0.2, 2, 20, and 200 ng/mL), $IL-1{\beta}$ (0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL), and hCG (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 IU/mL). mRNA expressions of urokinase-type (uPA) and tissue-type (tPA) PAs were analyzed using reverse transcription PCR, and activities were measured using a PA activity assay. mRNA expressions of uPA and tPA increased with $E_2$ treatment; however, this was not significant. Similarly, treatment with hCG did not influence the mRNA expressions of PAs. Interestingly, treatment with 0.1 ng/mL $IL-1{\beta}$ significantly reduced the mRNA expression of uPA, but did not affect that of tPA. Treatment with 2, 20, and 200 ng/mL $E_2$ increased PA activity compared with the control group; treatment with 0.1 and 1 ng/mL $IL-1{\beta}$ significantly increased PA activity compared with the other $IL-1{\beta}$ treatment groups, whereas treatment with 10 and 100 ng/mL $IL-1{\beta}$ decreased. Treatment with 2 IU/mL hCG increased PA activity compared with the other treatment groups, although there were no significant differences between the hCG and control groups. In conclusion, the activity and mRNA expression of PAs were differently regulated by the hormone/cytokine and its concentration in porcine endometrial cells. Therefore, understanding PA regulatory mechanisms may help to improve the reproductive potential of domestic animals.

This study was conducted to determine the endorcrine disruption effects of the several major pharmaceutical residues in water using adult Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes). Four frequently used pharmaceuticals including caffeine, ketoconazole, acetaminophen, and diltiazem were investigated for the vitellogenin(Vtg) induction in the medaka using Western blotting and ELISA. $17\beta$,-estradiol was used as a positive control. Vtg was qualified and quantified through Western blot and ELISA. Following SDS gel electrophoresis, the dominant protein band was identified to molecular weight approximately 205 kDa in whole body samples of vitellogenic female. With female medaka exposed to $17\beta,-estradiol$, no significant difference in total protein induction was noted. In contrast, three to five day exposure of male fish to $17\beta,-estradiol$ resulted in $63.07\%o$, increase of total protein comparing to that of control males (p<0.01). Vtg induction in male fish was observed with all the test pharmaceuticals: At concentrations greater than 1ppm of diltiazem, 2 ppm of caffeine, 4 ppm of acetaminophen, and 10 ppm of ketoconazole, Vtg induction was monotonously increased in a dose dependent manner. This study is one of the first reports suggesting potential endocrine disruption mechanism of common human pharmaceutical products in aquatic ecosystem. Although the effect concentrations obtained from this investigation are environmentally unrealistically high, endocrine disruption should be considered as one of the important consequences of pharmaceutical pollution in aquatic environment, and warrants due attention in future researches.

There has been increasing concern in recent years about the occurrence, fate and toxicity of pharmaceutical products in aquatic environment. Although these compounds have been detected in a wide variety of environmental samples including sewage effluent, surface waters, ground water and drinking water, their concentrations generally range from the low ppt to ppb levels. It is therefore often thought to be unlikely that pharmaceuticals will have a detrimental effect on the environment. This study was conducted to determine the endocrine disruption effects of the several pharmaceutical residues in water using adult Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes). The common antibiotics were used sulfa durgs (sulfamethoxazole and sulfamethazine) and tetracycline drugs (oxytetracycline and tetracycline). Positive control that was induced Vtg (vitellogenin) in male fish was used $17\beta$-estradiol. Vtg was qualified and quantified through Western blotting and ELISA. After SDS gel electrophoresis, the dominant protein band was identified to molecular weight approximately 205 kDa in whole body samples of vitellogenic female. In female medaka exposed to $17\beta$estradiol, there was no significant difference in total protein induction. In contrast, three to five day exposure of male fish to $17\beta$-estradiol resulted in more than 60.0% increase of total protein compared to that of control males (p<0.01). In case of antibiotics, female fish didn't show significant difference, but male fish was showed significant difference. In addition, Vtg induction in male fish was observed with all the test chemicals. On concentrations greater than 0.1 ppm of sulfamethoxazole, 1 ppm of sulfamethazine, 1 ppm of oxytetracycline and 20 ppm of tetracycline, Vtg induction was increased in a dose response manner. This study is one of the early reports suggesting potential endocrine disruption mechanism of antibiotic pharmaceutical products in aquatic ecosystem. Although the effect concentrations obtained from this study were high as unrealistically as in environments, it is endocrine disruption that we should be considered as one of the important consequences of pharmaceutical contamination at water environment, and warrants due attention in future researches.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Soy isoflavones are structurally similar to estrogen and bind to estrogen receptors, suggesting that they exhibit estrogenic activities; therefore, they are referred to as phytoestrogens. Fermentation may affect the bioavailability of isoflavones altering soy isoflavone glycosides in the form of aglycones. Thus, this study investigated the effects of fermented soybeans by Rhizopus oligosporus on bone metabolism in both young rats as a pilot test and in ovariectomized (ovx) old rats as a model of menopause. MATERIALS/METHODS: In the pilot test, a total of 24 seven-week-old female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were fed one of three diets for a period of four weeks: casein, unfermented soybean product, or fermented soybean product by R. oligosporus. In the ovx rat model, 20-week-old SD rats weighing 260-290 g underwent either sham-operation (n = 10) or bilateral ovariectomy (n = 30) and were then fed the AIN-93M diet for one week. Thereafter, rats were fed sham-casein, ovx-casein, ovx-soybean, or ovx-fermented soybean diet for five weeks. After decapitation, femoral bones were isolated and preserved in 9% formalin for assessment of bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone-breaking strength (BBS). RESULTS: Ovx rats showed significantly increased weight gain and decreased uterine wet weight. Of particular interest, ovx rats fed fermented soybeans showed increased uterine wet weights compared to control rats. Fermented soybean diet caused a significant increase in plasma 17-${\beta}$ estradiol concentrations in young rats, and 17-${\beta}$ estradiol levels were enhanced in ovx rats to match those of sham-operated ones. Significantly lower femoral BMD and BMC were observed in ovx rats compared to sham-operated controls, whereas bone areas did not differ statistically among the groups. In addition, BBS tended to be increased in ovx rats fed soybeans and fermented soybeans. CONCLUSIONS: Supplementation of fermented soybeans could have preventive and therapeutic effects against osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Vitellogenin(VTG) 합성에 미치는 A23187의 영향을 무지개송어의 배양 간세포를 이용하여 실험을 행하였다. 간세포는 2일간 배양한 후, Estradiol-$17^{\beta}$($E_2$, $2{\times}10^{-6}$M) 및 A23187 ($10^{-7)$~$10^{-5}$M)을 첨가하여 7일간 배양하였다. 그리고, $E_2$에 의한 VTG 합성시의 A23187이 미치는 영향에 대해서도 조사하였다. A23187이 미치는 영향에 대해서도 조사하였다. A23187 ($10^{-7)$~$10^{-5}$M)의 첨가에 의해 간세포에서의 VTG 합성은 농도의 증가에 따라 감소하였다.$E_2$에 의해 합성된 VTG는 A 23187 ($10^{-5}$M)의 첨가에 의해 대조군($E_2$만의 첨가)의 약 18%로 유의하게 감소하였다. 그러나,$E_2$제거로는 대조군의 약 47% 밖에 감소되지 않았다. 이러한 결과로 보아, 세포내의 저장 Ca은 번역 단계 또는 번역 후 단계를 조절함으로써, VTG 합성을 조절하는 것으로 추정된다.

The study was carried out to find out the changes of hormone levels in blood serum and milk of Holstein cows during the estrous cycle. The progesterone, estradiol-$17{\beta}$ from the blood serum and milk samples were assayed by radioimmunoassay methods. The results of this study were summarized as follows; 1. The progesterone levels in blood serum during the estrous cycles began to decline rapidly at 2 days before estrus, decreased to $0.27{\pm}0.18ng/ml$ at on the day of estrus, and reached a peak mean level of $3.33{\pm}0.47ng/ml$ at 15 days after estrus. 2. The progesterone levels in milk during the estrous cycles began to decline rapidly at 2 days before estrus, decreased to $0.80{\pm}0.18ng/ml$ on the day of estrus, and increased a peak mean level of $3.80{\pm}0.36ng/ml$ at 15 days after estrus. 3. The estradiol-$17{\beta}$ levels in blood serum during the estrous cycles showed a peak mean level of $9.79{\pm}1.72pg/ml$ on the day of estrus, and decreased from $4.79{\pm}1.82pg/ml$ to $5.73{\pm}0.96pg/ml$ at luteal phase. 4. The estradiol-$17{\beta}$ levels in milk during the estrous cycles showed a peak mean level of $36.80{\pm}2.04pg/ml$ on the day of estrus, and decreased from $18.93{\pm}0.84pg/ml$ to $19.50{\pm}1.12pg/ml$ at luteal phase. 5. During 20 to 25 days after artificial insemination, the accuracy of pregnancy diagnosis from the blood serum progesterone levels were 87.5% for non pregnant cows (<2.0ng/ml), and 83.3% for pregnant cows ($${\geq_-}$$3.0 ng/ml). The accuracy of pregnancy diagnosis from the milk progesterone levels were 75.0% for non-pregnant cows (<2.4 ng/ml), and 94.4% for pregnant cows ($${\geq_-}$$3.2 ng/ml).
