This study examined the efficacies of Cynanchum wilfordii and Phlomis umbrosa extracts on serum insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and bone growth by raising rats in vivo. C. wilfordii and P. umbrosa extracts significantly increased serum IGF-I by 42% and 22% than the control, respectively. Treatment with ${\alpha}$-amylase when manufacturing these extracts remarkably increased the concentration of IGF-I by 63% and 36% above the control, respectively. This meant that these extracts, especially ${\alpha}$-amylase treated extracts, maintained a higher level of IGF-I secretion in the treated groups. In addition, increases of 6% in femur length were found after 8 weeks of oral administration with these extracts. These results indicate that C. wilfordii and P. umbrosa extracts have beneficial effects on bone growth via IGF-I.

Numerous studies have suggested that dietary flavonoids contribute to prevent cardiovascular disease. Onion contains many functional phytochemicals such as quercetin. The aim of this study was to examine whether onion peel extracts supplementation affect blood lipid profiles and blood coagulation in animal model. Total 48 Sprague-Dawley male rats at 5 weeks old were divided into 6 groups with different diets(C: control, HF: high fat diet, HFOE 0.01%: high fat+onion peel extract 0.01% diet, HFOE 0.02%, HFOE 0.05%, HFOE 0.1%) for 8 weeks. Onion peel extract supplementation significantly decreased serum levels of LDL-cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol, while total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were not affected. Hematological parameters(hematocrit, white blood cell, red blood cell, and platelet count) and blood coagulation parameters(prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, and fibrinogen) were not significantly different among 6 groups. However, activated partial thromboplastin time of HFOE 0.05% group was significantly longer than that of HF group. These results indicate that onion peel extract supplementation displays hypocholestrolemic effects but does not seem to have anti-coagulation effects in high fat fed SD rats.

여름철 배합사료공장에서 배합사료 제조시에 가장 중요하게 다루어야 할 사항은 원료의 철저한 관리와 가축의 영양소 공급적인 측면에서도 심도 있게 고려되어야만 한다. 전체 축산물 생산비 중 50$\~$60$\%$이상이 사료비가 차지하기에 양질의 배합사료 생산은 양축농가의 생산성과 직결된다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 어느 한 가지도 소홀히 할 수 없다. 축산물(고기, 우유, 계란 등)을 생산하는데 소요되는 영양소(주로 아미노산)의 함량은 대체로 일정하지만 가축의 사료섭취량은 주위 환경온도에 따라서 달라진다. 겨울철과 달리 여름철 기온이 높을 때에는 더위 스트레스로 인하여 식욕이 저하되므로 사료섭취량이 감소하게 되는 것이다. 이와 같이 축산물을 생산하는데 필요한 영양소의 양은 일정한데 사료섭취량은 환경온도에 따라서 변동하므로 그에 따라 사료내 영양수준을 달리하지 않으면 가축의 영양소 요구량을 보다 정확하게 충족시킬 수 없다. 한편 사료관리적인 측면에서 여름철 고온 다습한 환경은 곰팡이 및 살모넬라와 같은 유해세균이 번식하기 좋은 여건을 제공하며, 사료내 곰팡이의 존재는 가축의 생산성에 치명적인 결함을 야기할 수 있다.

We performed a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial to determine whether Laminaria japonica extract (LJE) supplement modulates blood glucose, serum lipids and antioxidant systems in type II diabetic patients. We also measured critical parameters assessing safety in liver and kidney functions after LJE supplement. A total of 37 patients (18 males and 19 females) were randomized to either LJE group or placebo group. The treatment group received four 350 mg of LJE capsules (1.4 g, total) per day for 12 weeks. The placebo group received the same dose of cellulose capsules. Baseline characteristics regarding general life style and dietary intake pattern were similar between the two groups. There were no significant influences of LJE supplement except for waist circumference on anthropometric parameters. As the whole, 12 weeks of LJE supplement resulted in a little decrease in fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), but a significant decrease was not observed. Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were significantly (p<0.05) lowered in LJE group. The antioxidant enzymes, glutathion peroxidase (GSH-px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were elevated in the LJE group (p<0.05) compared to the placebo. The increase of these enzymes was associated significantly with the decrease of MDA concentration (p<0.05). Furthermore, LJE supplement showed no adverse effects on the functions of liver and kidney. Findings from this study suggest that LJE supplement can help improve serum lipid status in type II diabetic subjects without adverse effects.

어류에 있어 사료섭취를 촉진하는 물질은 분자량이 1,000 미만인 수용성 물질로서 이온 흡착 기능을 가진 성분으로 알려져 있으며(Carr et al., 1982), Adron and Mackie(1978)은 무지개 송어에 대한 오징어 추출물의 주요 자극 물질은 아미노산 혼합물로서, 대부분 은형의 아미노산이 자극제로 작용한다고 보고하였다. 또한, 섭취촉진 물질의 종류에 있어서는 대부분 염기성 아미노산, 인지질 및 몇가지 핵산 관련물질을 미꾸리, 전복, 방어에 대하여 사료섭취촉진 효과를 가지는 것으로 알려져 있다(Harada and Ikeda, 1984; Harada, 1985).

This study was performed to understand whether host-plant feeding had an influence on subsequent prey consumption in the zoophytophagous mirid Nesidiocoris tenuis, which has the potential for biological control of greenhouse whiteflies. Potted plants of paprika and sesame and cotton balls soaked with water were provided to the test insects for 24 h, then, frozen eggs of Ephestia kuehniella were presented to adult mirids for 24 h, and the number of eggs consumed by them was counted. No significant difference in prey consumption was observed between the mirids previously provided with water ($49.2{\pm}30.58$ eggs) or paprika ($55.7{\pm}31.19$ eggs), whereas those previously fed with sesame ate significantly less prey ($24.2{\pm}34.70$ eggs) than the mirids that were provided with paprika or water.

Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) leaf is known to be effective for 'overcoming body heat' and stopping bleeding. It is commonly used as a traditional curing plant for the treatment of hematemesis, epistaxis, hemoptysis, hematuria, and metrorrhagia in traditional Chinese medicine. This study investigated on the effect of oral administration of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) leaf extract on the serum and liver lipid levels of rats fed a high fat diet. Experimental rats were divided into five different experimental groups, including the general diet group (Cont), high fat diet with lotus leaf extract groups (HL40, HL80, HL120), and high fat diet group (HFG). Body weight significantly decreased in the HL120 sample compared to that of Cont. The weights of the livers and kidneys of rats corresponded to the increase in body weight. Total cholesterol and triglyceride contents in liver tissues of rats were lowest in the sample HL120 sample. The levels of total lipids, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in serum were lower in the HL120 sample compared to the HFG.

This study was aimed to secure the basis for developing the hangbang-tea may help promote healthy blood vessels by natural herbal ingredients formulated in accordance with the basic principles of oriental medicinal theory. We investigated the vessels contracted by concentrations and safety assessment carried out by the cell viability of Taraxaci Herba, Gardeniae Fructus, Chrysanthemum indicum and Lonicerae Flos composition and concentration. We found cell survival were higher than the control group show a beneficial trend in the growth of normal liver and kidney cells. As a results of this study will be the basis to develop the hangbang-tea differentiated in the future oriental medicine resources. Medicinal resources will be hangbang-tea based on clinical trials utilizing herbal western and oriental medicine convergence principle and vascular relaxation mechanism.
