Studies for the commercial production of sesame oil using th supercriticl carbon dioxide were made. Characteristics of sesame oil containing one of natural antioxidant 'sesamol', which only exist at sesame seed were also studied during the supercritical fluid extraction. Among the various factors influencing the sesamol contents in the sesame oil, the roasting time and temperature were checked, because sesamol can be converted from sesamol in through pyrolysis. We found that the sesamol content was increased rapidly under the condition of roasting temperature over $200^{\circ}C$ with longer roasting time. The sesamol content was increased as the temperature and pressure increased, which was caused by increase of solubility of sesamol against sesamol oil. And the sesamol content was increased also with lower speed of supercritical fluid, which increased the contact time with the raw material. The sesamol content was also increased using water increase up to $1\%$ as the entrainer. When the extraction performance with the supercritical fluid was compared to the conventional compressed extraction, the sesamol content was increased up to 11.5 times with the entrainer.

The characteristics of sesame oil containing one of natural antioxidant, ' $\gamma$-tocopherol', were studied with the supercritical $CO_2$ extraction. Although $\gamma$-tocopherol has a lower vitamin E value in biological systems than $\alpha$-tocopherol, it is a more potent antioxidant with in oils. For the research of various factors influence to the $\gamma$-tocopherol contents increment, we have checked roasting time and temperature, as well as pressure, temperature and flow rate of supercritical fluid. As a result, we found that the $\gamma$-tocopherol content was maintained constant under the condition of roasting temperature over $200^{\circ}C$. With the longer roasting time, $\gamma$-tocopherol content was increased. Except 250 bar, the $\gamma$-tocopherol content was maintained constant under the condition of the various pressure of supercritical fluid. But $\gamma$-tocopherol content was increased with lower flow rate of supercritical fluid from 1 $m{\ell}$/L to 3 $m{\ell}$/L. When the extraction performance with the supercritical fluid was compared to the conventional compressed extraction, $\gamma$-tocopherol content was increased up to 1.6 times.

Ascorbate-$Fe^3+$-EDTA에 의해 생성된 hydroxyl radical (HO.)을 이용하여 단백질과 지질의 산화적 손상을 유도하였으며, 이 손상에 대한 멜라토닌(melatonin), glutathione, $\alpha$-tocopherol의 방어효과를 분석하였다. 단백질로는 bovine serum albumin (BSA), 지질로는 phosphatidyl-choline (PC) liposome을 이용하였다. 그리고 BSA와 PC liposome의 혼합계에서도 각 항산화제의 효능을 분석하였다. 단백질의 산화적 손상은 carbonyl기의 생성 및 단백질 절단을, 지질산화는 lipid peroxidation (LPO, malondialdehyde 와 4-hydroxyalkenal) 분석을 통하여 조사하였다. 단백질의 산화는 멜라토닌과 glutathione이, 지질산화는 멜라토닌과 $\alpha$-tocopherol이 효과적으로 억제하였다. 그러나 glutathione은 지질, $\alpha$-tocopherol은 단백질의 산화를 억제하지 못하였다. BSA와 PC liposome이 동시에 존재하는 혼합물에서는 수용성과 지용성 특성을 모두 지닌 멜라토닌은 단백질, 지질 모두에 대해 산화방지효과가 있으나 수용성인 glutathione은 단백질에, 지용성인 $\alpha$-tocopherol은 지질에만 주로 효과가 있는 것으로 조사되었다.

The antioxidant enzyme (AOE) system plays an important role in the defense against oxidative stress damage. To determine whether myricetin or myricetin/taurine can exert antioxidative effects not only by modulating the AOE system directly but also by scavenging free radical, we investigated the influence of the myricetin and taurine on cell viability ROS level, activities of different antioxidant enzyme, and the expression of different antioxidant enzyme. As results, the cell viability showed inhibition of the proliferation with treatment of 'myricetin' or 'myricetin with taruine', respectively, with dose-dependent manner. Compared to control, the treatment of 'myricetin' decreased activities and gene expressions of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). However, combined treatment of 'myricetin with taurine' increased activities and gene expressions of the SOD, GPx, and catalase (CAT). In addition, the combined treatment of 'myricetin with taurine' somewhat decreased ROS levels, compared to the treatment of 'myricetin'. In conclusion, our study provides that the combined treatment of different antioxidants can enhance antioxidant effects.

Paraquat(1.1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium ion, PQ)는 전세계적으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 농약으로 자살 또는 실수로 마시는 경우 예외없이 폐독성으로 사망하게 된다. 하지만 아직까지 임상에 사용되어지고 있는 효과적인 독성 경감제는 전무한 실정이다. 현재까지 밝혀진 paraquat의 주된 독성기전은 NADPH Cytochrome P$_{450}$ reductase에 의해 산화,환원 반응을 거치는 동안 free radical을 생성하여 세포막에 지질과산화를 일으켜서 세포막의 기능상실과 cell death를 일으킨다고 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 항산화작용이 뛰어난 아미노산인 taurine(TA)의 radical scarvenging 효과에 의한 PQ 독성경감효과를 in vivo에서 검색하였고, in vitro에서 TA의 PQ 독성경감 mechanism을 밝히고자 하였다. in vivo에서 PQ의 간독성(s-GOT,s-GPT), 신장독성(BUN, Creatinine), 폐 및 전신독성(ALP, MDA, G-6-phosphatase)의 정도를 혈액 및 조직균질액 중에서 검색함으로써 TA의 독성억제효과를 측정하였다.

음용수 처리공법으로 BPA를 분해하는 TiO$_{2}$광분해과정의 생물학적 안전성을 zebrafish(Danio Rerio, wild type)의 발생과 성장기를 통해 알아보았다. TiO$_{2}$ 광분해는 BPA를 제거하는 효과가 있었으며, TiO$_{2}$ 광분해 환경에서 부화된 자어의 경우 배발생 초기와 성장기, 성체시기에 형태적인 이상을 보이지 않았다. 그러나 항산화효소인 catalase 의 활성도는 발생초기와 부화 1, 5주에는 대조군에 비해 별다른 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 28주의 성체기에는 활성도가 절반 이하로 떨어지는 자체방어계의 이상을 보였다.

This study was undertaken to examine the effect of Cheongahwan(CAH), being known to reinforce Kidney-yang, on the activities of endogenous antioxidant enzymes and the production of oxygen free radicals in the kidney tissues. Alterations in enzyme activities were observed after in vivo treatment in rats. CAH caused a significant increase in the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase. But catalase activity was not significantly altered by CAH. Treatment in vitro of CAH decreased the production of oxygen free radicals in a dose-dependent fashion. These results suggest that CAH stimulate the activities of antioxidant enzymes and inhibit directly the production of oxygen free radicals. These effects of CAH may contribute to prevent the oxygen free radical-induced impairment of cell function.

카로티노이드는 동식물계에 널리 분포하고 있는 황, 등, 적 혹은 자색의 대표적인 천연색소군으로서 자연계에서 약 1억톤/년 생산되고 있다. 이와 같이 막대한 량의 카로틴의 저장고는 식품의 잎, 동물플랑크톤, 조류 등이며 따라서 카로틴의 산업적 이용은 대단히 중요하다. 카로티노이드의 종류는 현재 약 600여종 정도 밝혀져 있으며 세계적으로 널리 이용되고 있는 것은 천연과 합성품을 포함하여 $\beta$-카로틴, $\beta$-아포카로테날, 칸타잔신, 아스타잔신 등과 그외 아나토추출물, 인삼유, 옥수수유, 파프리카, 사프란, 토마토추출물, 조류(algae) 등을 들 수 있으며 이들 카로티노이드 소재는 의약품, 식품, 사료등 다양한 용도로 사용되고 있다. 한편 $\beta$-카로틴, 아스타잔신 및 일부 카로티노이드 등은 30년간의 역학적 조사와 최근의 실증실험을 통해 암발생을 억제하는 물질로 규명되고 있으며 강력한 항산화성을 나타내고 있을 뿐만 아니라 동물의 번식 및 성장률 개선, 질병발생 억제, 어육의 색상개선 등 고차기능성을 나타내는 것으로 알려지고 있어 향후 다양한 분야에 이용가능성이 높아지고 있다. 본고에서는 최근 주목을 받고 있는 카로티노이드를 중심으로 생물 기능성 및 향후 이용전망에 대해 다루고자 하였다.

In this study, the biological activities of 33 kinds of wild mushroom methanol extracts were investigated. Boletellus elatus showed the greatest fibrinolytic activity (1.08 plasmin units/mL) in a fibrin plate assay, and the activity of Heterobasidion insulasis was 0.89 plasmin units. The thrombin inhibitory activities of Boletellus elatus and Heterobasidion insulasis were 93.32% and 93.69%, respectively. In a ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity test, Laccaria amethystina showed the greatest inhibitory activity at 81.25%. The antioxidative activities of Gomphus sp. and Geastrum lageniforme were 91.37% and 90.42%, respectively. Since Boletellus elatus and Heterobasidion insulasis have strong fibrinolytic and thrombin inhibitory and antioxidative activities, the two mushrooms can be used as material for the development of biofunctional foods for cardiovascular diseases.

Natural polyphenolic compounds such as catechin, epicatechin derivatives, quercetin, and resveratrol, have been reported to have a wide range of biological activities against carcinogen and reactive oxygen species. The compounds can act together in synergy or can independently affect the activity. Contents of four compounds in different grape cultivar groups with different skin color were determined through HPLC. There were not significant differences in content of four phenolic compounds among the different skin color groups of the same grape cultivar groups, but were among different grape cultivars within the same skin color groups. Totally, contents of catechin, epicatechin derivatives were much higher than those of quercetin and resveratrol. In each skin color group, Campbell Early in Black, Seneka in Green, and Benigard in Red group showed highest contents, respectively. Nothing or a very small amount of four phenolic compounds was detected in some cultivars. This information would be useful for grape breeders and manufactures.
