As a part of pharmacological studies of saikosaponins, which were reported to exhibit diverse biological activities especially concerning with liver function, effects of saikosaponin on metabolizing enzymes and lipid peroxide contents in liver were examined. As the result, UDP-glucose dehydrogenase activity and lipid peroxidation which were due to acetaminophen were inhibited by saikosaponin treatment. But other metabolizing enzyme activities were not modified.

Heavy metals like Mercury and Cadmium cause various kinds of toxicities in the organs of Liver and Kidney. To observe the results of toxicity in the liver, kidney, and serum when the rats were injected subcutaneously with HgCl$_2$ and CdC1$_2$ and sacrificed after 24 hours and 72 hours from the last injection, we measured variation of lipidperoxide values in rat liver homogenate, variation of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in rat serum. Variation of lipidperoxide values in rat kidney homogenate and variation of BUN in rat serum. It was found that Mercury and Cadmium administered subcutaneously to the skin in the air could cause the damages of liver and kidney.

The crude alkaloidal fraction of the root of Cynanchum caudatum Max.(Asclepiadaceae) was tested for the effects on the activities of free radical generating enzymes and the formation of lipid peroxide. Aldehyde oxidase was strongly inhibited to about 90% of the activity by treating 1.0 mg/ml of alkaloidal fraction, corresponding to competitive inhibition. Moreover, the formation of lipid peroxide which causes damage of cell membrane was reduced in proportion to the increasing alkaloid concentration. However, xanthine oxidase of which structure and function are similar to those of aldehyde oxidase was not inhibited by the alkaloidal fraction.

We studied the effects of the methanolic extracts and fractions from leaves, fruits, stems and roots of Curadrania tricuspidata on the formation of lipid peroxide. The methanol extracts of leaves, fructus and stem of this plants decreased the formation of lipid peroxide in the isolated rat liver. The ethyl acetate fraction of leaves and n-butanol fraction of stems reduced the lipid peroxide formation. It showed that arthocarpesin, one of the constituents isolated from this plant, lowered the formation of lipic peroxide by 13%, 21%, 22% and 25% at the concentration of $10^{-8},\;10^{-6},\;10^{-4}\;and\;10^{-2}mg/ml$, respectively.

The antilipidperoxidative and hepatopreventive effects of Aloe water extract (30 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg) were investigated at the levels of liver-total homogenates and the sera of SDrats intoxicated with CCl4 (0.5 cc/100g) and 50% ethanol. We measured MDA (Malondialdehyde) in the liver homogenate, AST (L-Aspartate-2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase) and ALT(L-Alanine-2-oxo-glutraate aminotransferase) in the serum. The analysis of the measurement indicated that Aloe water extract reduced MDA, ALT and AST significantly and their reduction was in relation to dose dependence. In rat liver homogenate intoxicated with ethanol and CCl4, Aloe treatment group markedly inhibited lipidperoxidation by 30%∼70%. In rat serum intoxicated with ethanol and CCl4, Aloe treatment group inhibited AST, ALT by 40%∼90%. In these data Aloe may be used to inhibit or prevent the hapatic toxicity with results from the environmental and alcohlic factors through the further study of its exact antihepatotoxic mechanism.

The rhizoma of Polygonatum odoratum (Liliaceae) promotes the production of body fluid and relives dryness symptoms and has hypoglycemic effect. In order to evaluate the prevention of lipid peroxidative efficacy of P. odoratum, its extracts (Et$_2$O and MeOH ex.) and its fractions ($H_2O$, 20％ MeOH, 40％ MeOH, 60％ MeOH and 100％ MeOH fr.) were measured by TBARS assay on rat liver S9 and human erythrocyte ghost membrane. The order of anti-lipid peroxidative effect was as follows: Et$_2$O ex. ＞40％ MeOH fr. ＞60％ MeOH fr.＞100％ MeOH fr. Based on these results, we conclude that membrane lipid peroxidation is inhibited in vitro by addition of P. odoratum ether extract and its gradient MeOH fractions excepts $H_2O$ fr., and which have significant hepatoprotective activity in $CCl_4$-treated rats.

Effects of eight flavonoids and their related compounds on leukocytes migration, superoxide anion production and lipid peroxidation in the phagocytosis of latex beads or E. coli by guinea pig peritoneal exudate cells were studied in vitro. It shows that most of flavonoids generally inhibited the leukocytes migration and production of superoxide anion and malonedialdehydes. Their inhibitory activities in the phagocytosis of latex beads had more active than that of E. coli. Quercetin has the most inhibitory activity in leukocytes migration and production of superoxide anion and lipid peroxides at the concentration of 1, 2 and 10 $\mu{M}$. Catechin and rutin at the concentration of 2 and 10 $\mu{M}$ inhibited significantly the production of superoxide anion and lipid peroxides. Flavone, catechin, naringin and rutin at the concentration of 2 and 10 $\mu{M}$ inhibited significantly the leukocytes migration.

We have studied the effect of 31 extracts and 10 components from some edible and medicinal plants on the formation of lipid peroxide in the liver homogenate of rat in vitro. The 70% acetone extracts of Allium tuberosum, Beta vulgaris var. cicla and Brassica juncea var. integrifolia, and methanol extract of Capsicum annuum decreased the formation of lipid peroxide by 33%, 58%, 62% and 56% at the concentration of 1mg/ml, respectively. And these four extracts inhibited the lipid peroxidation at the concentration of $10^{-1}$mg/ml by 17%, 46%, 49% and 45% respectively. Among the component tested, quercetin, quercitrin and isorhamnetin reduced the formation of lipid peroxide by 45%, 15% and 28% respectively at the concentration of $10^{-2}$mg/ml.

한국산 식용 및 야생식물의 항당뇨 효능에 대한 연구의 일환으로 본 연구에서는 동과의 ethanol 추출물을 계통분획하여 streptozotocin으로 당뇨를 유발시킨 흰쥐에게 14일간 경구투여한 후 조직의 글리코겐 함량, 단백질 함량, 지질함량 및 지질과산화에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 장기무게를 체중 100 g당 환산하였을 때 당뇨쥐의 간장, 신장 및 폐의 무게가 정상쥐에 비해 증가함을 확인할 수 있었고 췌장의 무게는 $CHCl_3$ 분획물 투여군이 당뇨대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 수치를 보였다. 간장의 글리코겐 함량은 정상군에 비해 모든 당뇨유발군에서 유의적으로 낮은 함량을 나타냈으며 $CHCl_3$ 분획물 투여군에서 증가되었으나 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다. 근육의 글리코겐 함량은 BuOH 분획물 투여군과 water 분획물 투여군에서 당뇨대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 간장과 신장의 단백질 함량은 정상군과 모든 당뇨유발군 사이에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았고, 폐의 단백질 함량은 $CHCl_3$ 분획물 투여군을 제외한 모든 당뇨실험군이 당뇨대조군에 비해 낮은 수준을 나타내었다. 췌장의 단백질 함량은 BuOH 분획물 투여군과 water 분획물 투여군이 당뇨대조군보다도 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 간장 콜레스테롤 함량은 당뇨대조군에 비해 BuOH 분획물 투여군과 water 분획물 투여군에서 유의적으로 낮은 수준을 보였고, 간장의 중성지방 함량은 당뇨대조군에 비해 BuOH 분획물 투여군과 water 분획물 투여군 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 간장과 폐의 malondialdehyde (MDA) 힘량은 모든 당뇨유발군에서 높게 나타났으며 신장에서는 BuOH 분획물 투여군과 water 분획물 투여군에서 높게 나타났다. 췌장의 MDA함량은 BuOH 분획물 투여군과 water 분획물 투여군이 정상군보다도 낮은 수준이었다. 이상의 연구결과 STZ 유발 당뇨 흰쥐에게 동과의 BuOH 분획물과 water 분획물을 투여하였을 때 근육의 글리코겐 함량 증가, 간장의 콜레스테롤 감소 및 췌장의 지질과산화 억제에 효과가 있었으나 간장과 신장의 지질과산화를 감소시키는 효과는 없는 것으로 나타났다.
