1. 혈압 및 맥박 실험 Acetylcholine과 상엽 수층분획을 단독으로 정맥에 투여한 경우 각각에서 농도 의존적으로 일시적인 혈압 강하 효과가 나타났고 빈맥 현상이 관찰되었다. Nitric Oxide 합성효소 억제제인 N$^{G}$ -Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester(10 mg/kg I. v)를 전처리한 경우 위 두 약물에 의한 혈압강하효과는 공히 증가되어졌다. 또한 두 약물에 의한 혈압강하 효과는 Atropine Sulfate(1 mg/kg i.v) 전처리로 완전히 차단되었다. Cholinesterase 억제제인 Physostigmine (0.05 mg/kg i.v) 전처리는 상엽의 혈압강하 효과에 아무런 영향을 나타내지 못하였다. 2. 장관 실험 Acetylcholine과 상엽 수층분획을 organ bath에 첨가한 경우 각각에서 농도 의존적으로 장관 수축력을 증가시켰다. 혈압반응에서와 같이 장관실험에서도 두 약물에 의한 장관 수축력의 증가는 Atropine Sulfate(1$\times$$10^{-5}$ M)의 존재하에서는 완전히 차단되어졌다. 이상의 결과로부터 상엽 수층분획은 Acetylcholine과 유사한 작용을 지닌 물질을 함유하는 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to determine if a low-molecular weight casein hydrolysate has an anti- hypertensive effect in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Prior to the in vivo experiment, the casein hydrolysate was confirmed to be resistant to gastrointestinal digestion by confirming the retention of its potency as an inhibitor of angiotensin I-concerting enzyme after incubation with pepsin, trypsin, or chymotrypsin. The in vivo anti-hypertensive effect of the hydrolysate was determined by the tail cuff method. Following an oral administration of the hydrolysate solution, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased by 12.9% (－28.9mmHg; P<0.05) at 3 h after the administration at a dose of 500mg/kg body weight. When the hydrolysate was administered as an emulsion with 30% egg yolk, its anti-hypertensive effect was even more greater at the same dose(－30.8mmHg or －15.9%; P<0.01). In a 50-day long-term trial where the casein hydrolysate was administered once a day, the SBP-lowering effect of the hydrolysate was apparent (P<0.05) from day 35 through the end. Moreover, organ weights and plasma glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase activities of the administered SHR were not significantly different from those of controls at the end of the long-term trial.

The effect of saponin and non-saponin of Panax Red Ginseng on the blood pressure and nitric oxide production were investigated in the conscious free moving one-kidney, one-clip Goldbaltt hypertensive (lK, 1C-GBH) rats. Mean blood pressure in the control and lK, 1C-GBH rats was decreased by the administration of ginseng saponin (100 mg/kg, i.v.). The hypotensive effect induced by ginseng saponin was reached maximum at 2-4 minutes and was slowly recovered to the initial level of blood pressure. Also ginseng saponin induced reflex tachycardia in the conscious both rats. Contrast to the response induced by ginseng saponin, hypotensive effect induced by non-saponin of panax ginseng is minimal. Plasma nitric oxide concentration was increased by the treatment of ginseng saponin (100 mg/kg, i.p for 5 days) in both rats. It has been shown by western blotting that the expression level of the protein for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in the aorta of rats was not increased by the treatment of ginseng saponin (100 mg/kg, i.p). However, eNOS activity in aortic homogenates of both rats were increased by the treatment of ginseng saponins. From the above results, the hypotensive effect of saponin was greater than that of non-saponin of Panax Red Ginseng. The lowering effect of blood pressure by ginseng saponin may be due to the increase of plasma nitric oxide concentration via the increase of endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity in the renovascular hypertensive and control rats.

본 연구는 꾸준한 신체활동이 고혈압을 강하시키는데 어떠한 효과가 있는지를 확인하는데 그 목적이 있다. 실험대상은 연령과 성별이 같은 SHR로 실험군과 통제군으로 무작위샘플로 분류하였다. 실험실적응 및 운동적응 기간을 거친 후 운동기간별 혈압의 변화를 관찰하였다. 통계분석은 SPSS 10.0을 사용하였다. 실험결과 집단 간 혈압의 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 실험집단간, 집단내 기간별 상호작용은 유의하게 나타났다(p<.05). 결론적으로 주지적인 신체활동은 SHR의 혈압을 감소시키는 효과가 있다.

Effect of soybean hydrolysate prepared by ultrafiltration(UF-peptide) was evaluated regarding its action on blood pressure, selected biochemical changes in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR). Male SHR were divided into three groups and fed diet with 0, 3, 10% UF-peptide for 6 weeks. Development of hypertension was determined by tail cuff method during the experimental period. After the experimental period, angiotension I converting enzyme(ACE) activity in serum and vascular tissue, and lipids level in serum were measured. Spontaneous elevation of blood pressure was suppressed by the UF-peptide supplementation after two weeks of feeding. After five weeks of feeding the development of hypertension was significantly inhibited in the UF-peptide administered groups compared to the control. In addition, the UF-peptide was effective for lowering serum lipids level such as triglyceride and total cholesterol, as well as ameliorating some pathological changes in SHR.

To determine the relations between antihypertensive effect and ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid, mycelial weight and pigment of Monascus, ethanol koji extracts were prepared from Monascus koji and each of three grade was classified based on ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid content, glucosamine content and hue angle value, respectively. Each extract was orally administrated on male spontaneously hypertensive rats and its antihypertensive effect was compared. Most of koji extracts showed antihypertensive activity regardless of their ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid content, glucosamine content or hue angle value. Therefore, hypotensive activity of koji extract was not dependent on above three components.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)은 혈압 상승작용과 밀접한 관계가 있는 효소이다. 따라서 이 효소의 작용 억제는 혈압 강하를 초래한다. 본 실험에서는 ACE와 여러점에서 유사점을 가진 Carboxypeptidase A에 대하여 강력한 억제 효과를 나타내는 간단한 구조의 억제제를 개발한 바 있는데. 이때 사용한 억제제 설계방법을 ACE 억제제 개발에 적용시켜 ACE 억제를 통한 고혈압 강하제 개발을 목적으로 하였다. ACE 억제작용에 있어서의 알려진 구조-활성 상관 관계와 ACE의 활성부위를 기초로 해서 아래와 같은 구조의 물질을 억제작용 보유의 물질로 설계하고 합성하였다.

This study analyzes the physiological healing effects on users according to forest types. Forest types are classified into Chamaecyparis obtusa, Quercus serrata and Pinus densiflora and the subjects of this study, 64 hypertensives, 59 diabetics and 59 ordinary people, were tested to observe their physiological effects. The index of physiological reaction comprises electroencephalogram(EEG), heart rate variability(HRV), blood pressure and cortisol level. An analysis of the stress-buffering effect from the physiological reactions of the overall subjects indicates that Quercus serrata forests have a higher stress-buffering effect than others in terms of central nervous, endocrine and autonomic nervous systems. Chamaecyparis obtusa forests are contributory to soothing stress in the central nervous and endocrine systems. Pinus densiflora forests contribute in some indexes of the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems. In contrast, Pinus densiflora forests are less influential on a stress-buffering effect than the other two. In the level of the effect for lowering blood pressure, Chamaecyparis obtusa and Quercus serrata forests are more effective than Pinus densiflora forests. Therefore, staying in the first two forests can heighten the healing effect of the lowering of blood pressure for hypertensive patients. Every forest is efficacious to lowering diabetic blood glucose levels. Spending time in Quercus serrata forests is more effective for hypoglycemic.

Fermented soybean, Chungkookjang has diverse bioactive compounds including antioxidants and peptides. Ethanol extract from Chungkookjang exhibited absorbance of 0.55 at 285 nm, where amino acids and peptides containing phenol are known to exist. Antioxidant activity of Chungkookjang was determined using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. With increasing concentrations of ethanol extracts, their antioxidant activities increased. Blood pressure was determined every two hours after taking raw Chungkookjang which does not contain salts. In 6 h, systolic blood pressure dropped by 14 mmHg, and diastolic one dropped by 8 mmHg, which was statistically significant. Daidzein, antioxidants, angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor such as Lys-Pro which are rich in Chungkookjang might contribute to the reduction of blood pressure.
