BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Obesity is a major cause of metabolic disorders; to prevent obesity, research is ongoing to develop natural and safe ingredients with few adverse effects. In this study, we determined the anti-obesity effects of Rosa multiflora root extract (KWFD-H01) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. MATERIALS/METHODS: The anti-obesity effects of KWFD-H01in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and SD rats were examined using various assays, including Oil Red O staining, gene expression analyses, protein expression analyses, and blood biochemical analyses. RESULTS: KWFD-H01 reduced intracellular lipid accumulation and inhibited the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), cytidine-cytidine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine (CCAAT)/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPα), sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1 (SREBP-1c), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and fatty acid synthase (FAS) in 3T3-L1 cells. KWFD-H01 also reduced body weight, weight gain, and the levels of triglycerides, total and LDL-cholesterol, glucose, and leptin, while increasing high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and adiponectin in SD rats. PPARγ, C/EBPα, SREBP-1c, ACC, and FAS protein expression was inhibited in the epididymal fat of SD rats. CONCLUSION: Overall, these results confirm the anti-obesity effects of KWFD-H01 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and SD rats, indicating their potential as baseline data for developing functional health foods or pharmaceuticals to control obesity.

Objective : Obesity, which has recently been rapidly increasing in the obese population, is caused by an imbalance in energy intake and consumption. The reason why we need to manage obesity well is that the prevalence of complications such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease increases. In this study, the effect of FO (Fragaria orientalis) water extract on fat metabolism in 3T3-L1 cells was observed to develop a new anti-obesity material based on Mongolian medical books. Methods : The effect of FO extract on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells was observed using DPPH scavenging, pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity, MTT analysis and Oil-red-O staining method. And the expression of proteins related to lipid metabolism was analyzed by Western blot. Results : The FO group significantly increased the DPPH radical scavenging activity at 5 mg/ml compared to the positive control BHA at 0.1 mg/ml. In oil red O staining at a safe concentration without cytotoxicity, lipid accumulation was significantly inhibited by less than 80% compared to the control group at all concentrations. Moreover, treatment of FO significantly increased the expression of proteins related to lipid metabolism, such as p-AMPK and p-ACC, in 3T3-L1 cells, and the expression of CPT-1 tended to increase in a dose-dependent manner. However, the expression of PPAR-γ was significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion : These results suggest that FO water extract has a potential anti-obesity effect and are expected to be utilized in the development of materials for obesity prevention and treatment.

Troponin T(이하 TnT)는 주로 심근세포에 존재하며 심근손상 시에만 유리되는 심근특이 효소이다. 저자들은 개심술을 시행한 34명의 환자들을 대상으로 수술 전후 심근손상에 대한 지표로서 TnT의 유용성에 대해 조사하였다. 환자들은 허혈성 심질환에 의한 관동맥 우회술이 11례, 후천성 판막 질환이 13례, 그리고 선천성 심질환이 10례였다. 이들은 술후 흉통과 심전도의 ST분절과 T파의 변화 등에 의거하여 심근손상이 의심되는 환자들(A군, 11례)과 정상 소견을 가진 환자들(B군, 23례)로 구분하였다. TnT의 측정은 효소 면역법을 이용하여 술 전, 수술 직후와 술후 1, 2, 3, 7일에 각각 측정하여 수술 전후의 수치 변화를 각 군간에 서로 비교하였고, 같은 시기에 측정한 CK-MB의 변화와 비교 분석하였다. A군에서는 수술 직후와 술후 1, 2, 3, 7일에 각각 1.37$\pm$0.26 $\mu$g/L, 3.16$\pm$0.66 $\mu$g/L, 2.39$\pm$0.74 $\mu$g/L, 2.49$\pm$0.76 $\mu$g/L, 그리고 1.23$\pm$0.60 $\mu$g/L로 변화하였으며, B군에서는 0.38$\pm$0.04 $\mu$g/L, 0.34$\pm$0.05 $\mu$g/L, 0.25$\pm$0.03 $\mu$g/L, 0.24$\pm$0.04 $\mu$g/L, 그리고 0.11$\pm$0.03 $\mu$g/L로 두 군간에 전기간에 걸쳐서 유의한 차이를 가졌다(P<0.01). 이에 반하여 CK-MB는 술후 1일째만 A군과 B군간에 145.04$\pm$35.08 IU/L과 31.28$\pm$5.87 IU/L로 유의한 차이가 있었고(P<0.05), 2일째부터 급격히 감소하여 3일 이후에는 술전치로 환원하였다. 혈청 TnT치가 1.0 $\mu$g/L이상인 경우를 술후 심근손상의 기준으로 볼 때 TnT는 심근손상의 진단에 있어서 100%의 민감도와 87%의 특이도를 보였다(P<0.01). 따라서 TnT는 심근손상 환자에 있어서 CK-MB와 달리 수술 직후부터 증가하여 지속됨으로써 심근손상의 정도를 더욱 민감하게 반영하고, 장기간 유의한 차이를 보여줌으로써 술후의 심근손상을 진단하는데 있어서 기존의 방법들보다 더욱 유용한 것으로 사료된다.

In the present paper we introduce and study L-pre-$T_0$-, L-pre-$T_1$-, L-pre-$T_2$ (L-pre-Hausdorff)-, L-pre-$T_3$ (L-pre-regularity)-, L-pre-$T_4$ (L-pre-normality)-, L-pre-strong-$T_3$-, L-pre-strong-$T_4$-, L-pre-$R_0$-, L-pre-$R_1$-separation axioms in (2, L)-topologies where L is a complete residuated lattice.Sometimes we need more conditions on L such as the completely distributive law or that the "$\bigwedge$" is distributive over arbitrary joins or the double negation law as we illustrate through this paper. As applications of our work the corresponding results(see[1,2]) are generalized and new consequences are obtained.

Objective: It has been reported that Polygonati rhizoma (Pr) has anti-hyperglycemia, anti-triglycemia, anti-diabetic, and anti-tumor activity. Total extract of Pr was tested to identify anti-adipogenic activity in 3T3-L1 differentiation and molecular mechanism of Pr in 3T3-L1 differentiation. Methods: Differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte was induced in the presence of Pr extract and kaempferol. The level of lipid accumulation was measured by Oil Red O staining. The expression of genes associated with adipocyte differentiation was measured by RT-PCR. Results: Extract of Pr and its component kaempferol reduced lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 during adipogenesis and also reduced mRNA levels of genes associated with adipogenesis, such as adipsin, aP2, LPL, SERBP-1c and $PPAR{\gamma}$. Conclusions: In this study, we showed that the molecular mechanism of Pr and kaempferol activity is related to regulation of $PPAR{\gamma}$ expression and activation.

This study examined the antioxidative and lipid accumulation inhibitory effects of 14 plants from Mongolia and Myanmar on 3T3-L1 and HepG2 cells. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents (TPC and TFC) of 14 plant extracts were measured, and the antioxidative activities were analyzed using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and ORAC. After measuring the pancreatic lipase levels and performing the thiobarbituric acid assay, the degree of lipid accumulation was determined by lipid (Oil Red O) staining and triglyceride assay in 3T3-L1 and HepG2 cells. M. paniculate (259.43 mgGAE/g) and C. benghalensis (130.78 mgNAE/g) had the highest TPC and TFC, respectively, among the 14 plants. R. acicularis Lindl. had the highest antioxidant activity in DPPH. The ABTS, FRAP, and ORAC results showed that the antioxidant activity of 11 species was higher than that of the positive control. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory effect of C. angustifolium Scop. was reduced to 23.65% at 0.1 mg/mL, and the level of lipid peroxidation of C. abrorescens Lam. was 0.63 nmol/mg. Five selected plants inhibited the lipid accumulation and triglyceride content, respectively, in 3T3-L1 and HepG2 cells. These results provide scientific evidence for developing functional foods using 14 plants from Mongolia and Myanmar, which have antioxidant activities and lipid accumulation reduction effects.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of anti-obesity and antioxidant enzyme activities in vitro by different solvent fractions from the roots of Codonopsis lanceolata. The cytotoxicity of different solvent fractions of C. lanceolata on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were evaluated using the MTT assay, the rate of cell survival progressively decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Butyl alcohol fraction at $200{\mu}g/mL$ exhibited a pronounced cytotoxic effect (75.73%) on 3T3-L1 cell comparable to that of the hexane fraction (79.82%), methylene chloride fraction (84.02%), ethyl acetate fraction (87.62%) and DW fraction (86.30%) at the same concentration. The Oil Red O solution was used to determine whether different solvent fractions of C. lanceolata induce adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Confluent 3T3-L1 cells were treated with $50{\mu}g/mL$ concentration of solvent fraction extracts from C. lanceolata. Inhibitory degree of lipid accumulation against solvent fraction extracts showed a significant level compared with the control. Both lipid accumulation and adipocyte differentiation showed relatively high effect on methyl chloride fraction. The root extract of C. lanceolata had the highest SOD enzyme activity of 84.5% in ethyl acetate partition layer and while water partition layer of diploid showed the lowest SOD enzyme activity of 57.9%. The activity of CAT, APX and POD showed a significantly higher activity in ethyl acetate partition layer compared with the other fraction. These results suggested that the roots of C. lanceolata may assist in the potential biological activity on anti-obesity and antioxidant capacity.

In order to develop a functionally improved kochujang with antiobesity effects, garlic-added kochujang was prepared with freeze-dried garlic powder and followed by fermentation for 60 days at $30^{\circ}C$. Antiobesity effect of the garlic-added kochujang was investigated by measuring the leptin secretions and mRNA expression levels of obesity-related gene such as TNF${\alpha}$, PPAR${\gamma}$, C/EBP${\alpha}$, and SREBP1c, in cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Fermentation of garlic-added kochujang led to decreased levels of leptin secretions and reduced the mRNA expression levels of TNF${\alpha}$, PPAR${\gamma}$, C/EBP${\alpha}$, and SREBP1c in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Accordingly, these results suggest that the addition of garlic to kochujang has a potential as a valuable functional food for controlling obesity.
