활성산소 및 그의 반응산물들에 의해 노화가 진행되고, 특히 혈관의 노화인 동맥경화가 활성산소 및 지질과산화에 의해 유발된다면, 생체 내에서 끊임없이 생성되고 있고 경우에 따라 필수 불가결한 활성산소를 어떻게 잘 처리하는 가가 중요하다. 즉, 활성산소 발생정도에 대한 항산화능의 유도가 미치지 못한다면, 체내의 활성산소 및 그 생산물에 의해 노화, 동맥경화가 진행될 것이다. 활성산소의 생성계와 제거계의 balance가 잘 유지된다면 정상적인 노화로 자연사에 이르게 될 것이고, 이 balance가 깨어져 과도한 활성산소의 축적에 대해 제거계가 따르지 못할 경우에는 활성산소와 그 생산물에 의해 동맥경화와 비정상적인 노화가 진행될 것이다.

Serum lipid peroxide levels in 25 chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis were examined by determining TBA reaction with spectrofluorometry. The lipid peroxide levels, 208.9$\pm$88.4nmol/ml, in the patient group was significantly higher than 152.4$\pm$43.9nmol/ml of 48 control healthy subjects. It is likely that the elevated serum lipid peroxide levels can play a role in increasing tendency of hemorrhage and incidence of atherosclerosis in chronic renal failure patients.

Kimchi contains various antioxidative components, therefore it is expected that kimchi have the inhibitory activity on aging. Among the many factor related to aging, UV radiation is the easiest way to induce skin aging. This experiment was designed to demonstrate the antioxidative activity of dietary kimchi with and without UV radiation in tissues. Lyophilized Korean cabbage kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi and buchu kimchi were used for measurement of the contents of antioxidative components. Chlorophyll contents in buchu and mustard leaf kimchi were higher than cabbage kimchi, and the contents of carotene and ascorbic acid were higher in the mustard leaf kimchi. To clarify the antioxidative activity of various kimchi diets in vivo system, hairless mice were fed the diet containing 10% lyophilized kimchi for 20 weeks. Contents of superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical in liver were not shown significant differences, however hydrogen peroxide were significantly decreased in mustard leaf and buchu kimchi diet groups. Supplementation of all kinds of kimchi diets attenuated the hepatic NDA accumulation, especially in mustard leaf and leek kimchi group. In the skin, the contents of MDA were decreased in kimchi groups compared to control group, especially the buchu kimchi diet significantly inhibited the lipid peroxidation. To elucidate the effect of kimchi diets on photooxidation, the extent of oxidative damage in liver and skin was measured after UVB radiation treatment. The contents of lipid peroxides was decreased in mustard leaf kimchi group and cabbage kimchi group compared to control, while lipid peroxidation was increased in buchu kimchi diet group. It suggests that chlorophylls and other antioxidative nutrients in the various kimchi diets are related to antioxidation or photooxidation and it might be needed further study to certify the exact mechanisms.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of water-soluble extract from roasted chicory on the lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The experimental groups were divided into three groups ; the normal group, the cholesterol group and the chicory group. Roasted chicory extract was supplemented at 5.0% (w/w) level in the cholesterol diet. Concentration of total cholesterol in serum was significantly higher in the cholesterol group than in the normal group, but this increase in the cholesterol group was significantly decreased by the cholesterol diet supplemented with chicory extract. Concentration of HDL-cholesterol in serum was significantly lower in the cholesterol group than in the normal group, but this decrease in the cholesterol group tended to increase in the chicory group. However, concentrations of triglyceride, phospholipid and nonesterified fatty acid in serum were not significantly different among the groups. Concentrations of triglyceride and cholesterol in liver were significantly higher in the cholesterol and chicory groups than in the normal group. Feces weight and the excretion of cholesterol and bile acid into feces were significantly higher in the chicory group than in other groups. Concentrations of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in homogenates and microsomal fractions of liver were not significantly different among the groups. On the other hand, concentration of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as an useful marker of oxidative stress in urine was lower in the chicory group than in other groups. Concentration of serum glucose was signnificantly lower in the cholesterol group than in the normal group, but that of the chicory group was significantly higher than in the normal group. These results demonstrated that dietary chicory extract exerted the decreasing effect of cholesterol level and oxidative stress in cholesteral-fed rats.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats received either a cholesterol diet(Control group) or cholesterol diets supplemented with the water-soluble extract of stem bark from Morus alba(M group) or Cudrania tricuspidata(C group) at the level of 1% for 2 weeks. Concentrations of total cholesterol and phospholipid in serum of C group and triglyceride in serum of M group were lower than those of control group. Concentration of cholesterol in liver of M and C groups has a tendency to be lower than that of control group. Antioxidative activities of water-soluble extracts from stem bark of Morus alba and Cudrania tricuspidata on the peroxidation of lipid in tissues of rats were also studied in vivo by measuring the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Concentration of TBARS in kidney of M and C groups was significantly lower than control group. However, concentration of TBARS in liver and brain of C and M groups was significantly higher than in control group. The result that concentration of nonheme ion was significantly increased in liver of the mulberry supplemented groups comparision to control group, suggested that enhanced concentration of nonheme ion was associated with enhanced peroxidation of lipid in this group. Concentration of TBARS in microsomes of liver and brain in control group induced with $Fe^{2+}$/ascorbate increased by reaction time at $37^{\circ}C$, whereas this observation in liver did not occurred in C and M groups. This study suggested that water-extract from stem bark of Morus alba and Cudrania tricuspidata exert hypotriglycerolemic effect as well as antioxidative effect in kidney and liver microsomes in rats fed a cholesterol diet.

This study was designed to investige the effects of Houttuynia cordata Thunb mixture extract on the lipid metabolism in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced liver damage of rats. LPS-treatment increased the levels of total-lipid, LDH (lactate, dehydrogenas), triglyceride (TG) and malondialdehyde (MDA). But Houttuynia cordata Thunb mixture extract (HM) pretreatment decreased the levels of total lipid, LDL-cholesterol, TG and MDA. Also LPS-treatment decreased total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol, but HM-pretreatment increased both of them. These results demonstrated that HM-pretreatment had the preventive effects against the dyfunction of lipid metabolism in the LPS-induced liver damage of rats.

사과급여가 지질대사에 미치는 효과를 40마리의 Wistar rats에 0.3% 콜레스테롤을 첨가한 반정제식이를 급여하여 조사하였다. 사과첨가군는 일반식이중 전분함량(15%)을 동결건조시킨 사과(Gala 품종)로 대체하였으며, 대조군은 사과에서 유래되는 당함량을 대신하여 전분중 13%를 과당/포도당/ 전분의 혼합물로 대체하였다. 실험식이에서 지방원은 옥배유 사용하였으며, 식이중 비타민E는 요구량의 1/3정도 첨가하였다. 실험쥐는21일간의 적응기간을 걸쳐 선별하였다. 사과급여군에서, 사과에서 유래되는 식이섬유소량이 소량(약 2%)임에도 불구하고 혈장내 콜레스테롤이 유의적으로 낮아지는 경향을 보였으나, 콜레스테롤 첨가군에서는 간에 콜레스테롤 에스테르가 축적되는 결과를 보였다. 사과급여군에서 지단백질 형상이 크게 다르게 나타났는데, 이는 중성지방이 많은 지단백질(TGRLP) 콜레스테롤이 감소되고 HDL 콜레스테롤은 증가되는 결과를 보여 심장관련질환 예방에 효과가 있을 것으로 추정되었다. 또한, 사과가 콜레스테롤 흡수를 크게 저하시키는 것으로 추정되나 담즙산의 분해에는 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 사과식이군이 대조군에 비해 혈장 FRAP가 높고 뇨중의 MDA 추출물이 감소하는 경향을 보여 산화억제효과도 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 후식으로 적당량의 사과를 섭식하는 것이 지질과 과산화성 인자에 바람직한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

Male mice (ddY strain) were fed a laboratory chow diet containing the water extract from stem bark of Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) for 14 days. There were no significant difference in body weight gain, feed intake, the hepatic lipid profile and serum total cholesterol and phodpholipid concentrations. The concentration of triglyceride in serum was significantly lower in the RVS group than that in the control group. The concentration of high-density-lipoprotein cholestrol in serum was significantly higher in the RVS group than that in the control group. The methanol extract from RVS stem bark effectively inhibited the formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances as a marker of lipid peroxidation of liver microsomes in a concentration-dependent manner. This study showed that the water extract from stem bark of RVS decreased the serum triglyceride concentration and methanol extract has an antioxidative activity.

Young mae rats were fed fro 4 weeks on different experimental diets containing 8%(w/w) fat ; sardine oil, soybean oil and lard. In the sarine oil group, total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations inplasma were significantly lower than in the soybean oil and lard group. The proportion of $\omega$-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in erythrocyte membrane phospholipids were significantly higher in the sarine oil-fed animals. by sardine oil ingestion, lipid peroxide levels inthe plasma and liver were elevated while $\alpha$tocopherol concentrations were lowered, compared to the other groups. However, erythrocyte osmotic fragility was unaffected by the different fat diets.
