The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hot water extract of peduncle obtained from Hovenia dulcis Thunb (HD) which is commercially developed for the protective effect on the alcoholic hepatotoxicity, on the endurance capacity for weight loaded forced swimming mice. The swimming times to exhaustion in mice fed 100 and 200 mg/kg HD for 2 weeks were prolonged 3.6 and 3.7 fold, and for 4 weeks 1.9 and 2.7 fold compared with each vehicle control ($42.8{\pm}20.5$ min and $67.7{\pm}47.8$ min, for 2 and 4 weeks), respectively. Blood biochemical parameters for ALT, AST, creatinine and BUN were not significantly different between from HD fed or control mice. Although HD fed mice swam over 2 fold longer time than vehicle control mice at 4 weeks, blood biomarkers of physical fatigue such as glucose, triglyceride and free fatty acid, lactate were not significant different and even tended to ameliorate. Hepatic lipid peroxidation and SOD activity did not significantly change in HD fed- and vehicle control exhausted swimming mice at 2 or 4 weeks. However, catalase activity in HD-fed mice was significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner compared with vehicle control mice. The present study indicates that HD improved physical fatigue and exercise performance in mice. Therefore, it has a potential for the pharmacological effect of anti-fatigue.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus continues to rise alarmingly because of industrialization of society. The aim of this study was to investigate the antidiabetic effects of black ginseng extract (BGE) which was performed panax ginseng. First we examined the inhibitory effects of BGE on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. But there was no practical effects in our observations. We, also, investigate the effects of BGE on glucose uptake of skeletal muscle using 2-NBDG in $C_2C_{12}$ myotube. BGE significantly improved the glucose uptake considered as a lowered blood glucose level. Effects of GBG05-FF on fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse. After injection of STZ, fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin rapidly increased. But STZ-induced diabetic mouse treated with GBG05-FF significantly reduced the level of fasting blood glucose and HbA1c. This results showed that supplementation of BGE improve the diabetic parameters and BGE have a potentiality as a functional food for Diabetes mellitus.

'EGCG(epigallocatechin gallate) rich Green Tea extract(EGTE)' was prepared by a convenient chromatographical manner using water and alcohol which was regarded as the most suitable and appropriate process for food manufacturing. The EGCG content in EGTE was estimated above 97%. Analysis of polyphenol components in green tea, i.e., catechin(C), epigallocatechin(EGC), epicatechin(EC), epigallocatechin gallate(EGCG), epicatechin gallate(ECG) and caffeine was performed by HPLC. The optimized HPLC method exhibited a good linearity of calibration curve, accuracy and precision. The long-term stability evaluation of EGTE was carried out with a powdered formulation and solution formulation by estimating the color change and measuring the EGCG content by HPLC analysis for one year. The EGCG content of the powdered EGTE stored in a transparent bottle at room temperature was retained over 97% at the end of the experimental period. The EGCG content of 0.1% water solution of EGTE stored in a transparent bottle at RT were observed to decrease below 30%, whereas that stored at $2^{\circ}C$ retained over 70%, respectively. These results suggested that a powdered formulation could be recommended for the commercialized nutraceutical product of EGTE rather than a solution formulation.

This study was conducted to investigate the toxicity symptoms and approximate lethal dose (ALD) of Oplopanax elatus (Nakai) Nakai hydrothermal extract powder by single oral dose toxicity and 4 weeks of repeated oral dose determination. The Sprague-Dawley (SD) male and female rats were treated with 1,250 (low- dosage group), 2,500 (medium- dosage group) and 5,000 (high- dosage group) mg/kg. In the single oral dose toxicity test, no dead animals and toxic symptoms were observed during the experiment. And there were no related with anomalies in normal weight changes and autopsy results. In the four-week repeated oral dose determination test, no death animals and toxicity symptoms were observed during the experiment, and there were no abnormal results in weight changes, feed and negative intake measurements. Results of eye examination, urinalysis, hematological values and serum biochemical values, gross findings and absolute organ were not of singularity. These result demonstrated that no toxic symptoms were observed by the test substance Oplopanax elatus (Nakai) Nakai hydrothermal extract powder under this test condition, and the non-toxic content is determined to be 5,000 mg/kg/day.

Fine dust has emerged as seriously hazardrous particles, which can cause respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Thus, we have developed a natural complex extract consisted of Codonopsis lanceolata (Siebold & Zucc.) Trautv., Platycodon grandiflorum A. De Candolle, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer in the ratio of 3 : 5 : 2, which have a beneficial effect on respiratory system. In this study, simultaneous quantitative analysis of marker compounds, lobetyolin, platycodin D, and glycyrrhizic acid in the natural complex extract was developed and validated with high performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector. The marker compounds were shown in a large linearity with a correlation coefficient (R²) of 1.000. The limit of detection (LOD) of lobetyolin, platycodin D and glycyrrhizic acid were 5.40 ㎍/mL, 3.94 ㎍/mL and 5.86 ㎍/mL, respectively. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of lobetyolin, platycodin D and glycyrrhizic acid were 16.36 ㎍/mL, 11.94 ㎍/mL and 17.75 ㎍/mL, respectively. The content analysis revealed that the amounts of lobetyolin, platycodin D, and glycyrrhizic acid were 0.039±0.013 mg/g, 0.337±0.048 mg/g, and 1.171±0.003 mg/g, respectively, in the natural complex extract. Therefore, these results could be used as basic data for the standardization and quality control of the natural complex extract.

황정 주정 추출물 ID1216의 고지방 식이 유도 비만 마우스에서의 체중 증가 억제 효과에 대한 분자생물학적 기전을 확인하고자 단백질과 mRNA 수준에서 지질 및 에너지 대사 관련 유전자들의 발현 변화를 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서 확인된 지표들 간의 상호 작용 및 ID1216의 조절 여부에 관해 Fig. 10에 나타내었다. 실험 결과 ID1216은 고지방 식이 유도 비만 마우스에서 체중 증가 억제를 나타내었으며, 비만 대사 관련 pathway의 상위 유전자로 사료되는 SIRT1과 AMPK의 발현을 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 활성화된 SIRT1과 AMPK는 $PGC1{\alpha}$의 활성화에 관여하고, 이를 통해 열 발산 대사와 관련된 UCP 단백질과 핵 수용체 단백질인 $PPAR{\alpha}$의 발현이 백색지방, 갈색지방, 간 및 근육에서 증가되는 것이 확인되었다. 각 조직 별로 RT-PCR을 진행한 결과에서는 $PPAR{\alpha}$의 하위 유전자인 aP2, ACO, Acadl, Acadm, CPT1a, CPT1b의 mRNA 발현 수준을 향상시켜 주어 ID1216이 지방산 산화 대사인 ${\beta}$-oxidation의 활성화에 기여할 가능성을 보여주었다. 이와는 별개로 ID1216은 중성지질을 분해하는 것으로 알려진 ATGL의 mRNA 발현 또한 증가시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구를 통해 ID1216이 조직에 따라 지질 및 에너지 대사와 관련된 인자의 발현에 영향을 주는 체중 조절에 효과적인 소재임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 비만 치료제와의 기전적 차별성과 생약 특유의 섭취 안전성을 특징으로 하는 체중 또는 체지방 조절 기능성 소재로의 활용 가능성도 충분히 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Various kinds of chinese herbs have been known as to promote growth rate of animals. We investigated the growth promoting effect of the selected plants by using fish and rats as experimental animals. In a preliminary test by using fish, Eleutherococcus senticosus and Artemisia capillasis were found to be effective. Based on this result, we manufactured the mixture of plant extracts and applied this mixture to rice, named as Kiwoomi/sup TM/. When we administered Kiwoomi/sup TM/ to rats, it was found to be effective in growth promotion. Kiwoomi/sup TM/ - administered group showed 49.3% (0.75g/kg B.W.) and 52.3% (1.59/kg.B.W.) growth promotion, respectively. On the other hand, Control group showed 46.2% growth promotion. This growth promotion was supported by increase of GH and IGF-1 level in the Kiwoomi/sup TM/- administered group. From these results, we suggest that this functional rice could be helpful for growing children.
