Objectives: This study was investigated the protective effect of Spatholobi Caulis water extract against cadmium (CdCl2, Cd)-induced hepatic toxicity in rats. Methods: To induce acute hepatic toxicity, Cd (4 mg/kg body weight) was dissolved in normal saline and intravenously injected into rats. Then, the rats received either a vehicle or silymarin (100 mg/kg) or Spatholobi Caulis water extract (30, 50 mg/kg/day) for 3 days, and were exposed to a single injection of Cd 24 h after the last Spatholobi Caulis/vehicle treatment. Results: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were significantly increased by Cd treatment. In contrast, pretreatment with Spatholobi Caulis reduced ALT, AST and LDH. Cd-intoxicated liver damage was significantly inhibited by treatment of Spatholobi Caulis 30 and 50 mg/kg at histopathological observations in the present study. Conclusions: These results can be considered as direct evidence that Spatholobi Caulis has favorable inhibitory effects on the Cd-intoxicated liver damages. The efficacy of Spatholobi Caulis 30 mg/kg shows similar effects to that of silymarin 100 mg/kg, and more favorable hepatoprotective effects were observed in Spatholobi Caulis 50 mg/kg as compared with silymarin 100 mg/kg against Cd-intoxicated hepatopathies in the present study.

스티렌은 플라스틱과 같은 생활용품에 광범위하게 사용되며, 건강에 위해를 야기시킬 수 있다. 스티렌이 간 조직 중 항산화계 효소 활성에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 50 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg 및 400 mg/kg 용량을 4일 동안 1일 2회 복강 투여하였다. 혈청 ALT 및 AST 활성 변동은 대조군에 비해 400 mg/kg 투여군에서 각각 약 1.2배 (p<0.05) 및 약 43.3% (p<0.05) 유의하게 증가하였다. 이는 투여용량이 증가할수록 간손상이 심화되었다는 것을 의미한다. MDA 함량 변동은 대조군에 비해 400 mg/kg 투여군에서 약 37.1% (p<0.05) 증가하였고, XO 활성도는 200 mg/kg 투여군에 비해 400 mg/kg 투여군에서 약 15.2% 증가하였고, CYPdAH 활성도는 약 40.4% (p<0.05) 유의하게 증가하였다. 생성된 과잉의 활성산소종을 제거하기 위한 항산화계 효소인 GPx, CAT, SOD 및 GST 활성도는 대조군에 비해 400 mg/kg 투여군에서 각각 약 33.0% (p<0.05), 약 41.2% (p<0.05), 약 47.2% (p<0.05) 및 약 27.6% (p<0.05) 유의하게 감소하였다. GSH 함량은 200 mg/kg 투여군에 비해 400 mg/kg 투여군에서 34.5% (p<0.05) 유의하게 감소하였고, 소모된 GSH 함량은 스티렌과 스티렌 중간대사산물에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 이상의 결과로 보아 스티렌의 대사과정에서 생성된 과잉의 활성산소종과 독성 중간대사산물에 의해 간 손상이 유발되었고, 이는 해독에 관여하는 항산화 효소계와 불균형과 관련이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

생체 내 (ex vivo) 실험에서 더덕의 물 추출물을 4주간 격일로 마우스 체중 kg 당 0, 50, 500 mg/kg B.W.의 농도로 마우스에 경구 투여한 후 비장세포 증식능, LPS에 의해 활성화된 복강 대식세포가 분비하는 염증성 사이토카인 (IL-1 ${\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$) 의 생성량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 더덕 물 추출물은 ConA나 LPS로 자극하지 않은 경우 500mg/kg B.W. 농도에서 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 비장 증식능을 보였다. LPS에 의해 활성화된 복강 대식세포의 사이토카인 분비량을 측정한 결과에서도 IL-1 ${\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$의 분비량은 마우스 체중 kg 당 500 mg/kg B.W. 농도의 투여군에서 유의적으로 높은 생성량을 보여주었으며, 50 mg/kg B.W.의 농도 투여군에서는 대조군에 비해 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. IL-6의 경우 50 mg/kg B.W.과 500 mg/kg B.W. 두 농도 모두에서 유의적으로 높은 분비능을 보였다. 이상의 결과에 따르면 더덕 추출물의 비장세포 증식능과 사이토카인 분비 효과는 500 mg/kg B.W. 농도 투여시 가장 효과적으로 면역 세포와 면역 기관의 주요기능을 증진시킬 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 앞으로 더덕을 이용한 기능성 식품 개발에 기초 연구 자료로 활용되기를 기대된다.

The current study was performed to determine the acute oral toxicity of a crude extract of sanghwang mushroom (Phellinus linteus), in SD rats. 5 rats of each sex were orally treated with a single dose of extract of sanghwang mushroom at doses of 0, 500, 1,000, 2,000 mg/kg, respectively. After the treatment, clinical signs and body weight change, the food and water consumption were observed for 14 days. All animals survived during the study and did not show any clinical signs. Body weight gain showed no significant difference between the control and treated rats. However, body weight gain delayed in high dose group (2,000 mg/kg) on day 1~3 after administration. Another 5 rats of each sex were orally treated with a single dose of extract of sanghwang mushroom at dosages 4,000, 5,000 mg/kg respectively, but all animals survived during the study and did not show any clinical signs. It is suggested that LD$_{50}$ of extract of sanghwang mushroom by oral administration was estimated to be over 5,000 mg/kg in both sexes of rats.s.

In the present study, we examined the chemoprotective effects of different rice bran, which are produced by fermentation or not, on doxorubicin induced rat model, and detected the change of components of rice bran. Rats receiving fermented rice bran of 100 mg/kg by oral plus doxorubicin 10 mg/kg had greater weight gain as +24% than that observed with doxorubicin alone. In case of the treatment of non-fermented rice bran of 100 mg/kg by oral with doxorubicin of 10 mg/kg, fermented rice bran showed a -1.3% decrease in body weight. 100 mg/kg fermented rice bran decreased the incidence to 30%, and non-fermented rice bran decreased the incidence to 50%. In lethality, the rate of death of doxorubicin was 60%. 100 mg/kg fermented rice bran decreased to 10% in death rate and non-fermented rice bran to 30%. In gross gastrointestinal pathology, doxorubicin showed the gross gastrointestinal mucosal pathology in 70% of treated rats, fermented rice bran decreased to 40% and non-fermented rice bran to 50%. In the change of constituent, xylose concentration of fermented rice bran was detected to 59.33 mg/g while its concentration of non-fermented rice bran was 11.12 mg/g.

This study was performed to evaluate the acute oral toxicity of an oriental medical prescription for obesity treatment, SH21-B, in Sprague-Dawley rats and Beagle dogs. SH21-B was administered in rats at does of 0mg/kg, 2,000mg/kg, and 5,000mg/kg. And also SH21-B was administered in Beagle dogs at does of 150mg/kg, 300mg/kg, and 600mg/kg. The rats and dogs of both sexes were observed daily for 14 days after single oral administration. Two female rats, one administered at 2,000mg/kg and the other administered at 5,000mg/kg, died, but no dead animal was observed among male rats. Therefore LD50 in the female rat is observed to be 8,710mg/kg, and MLD(Minimum Lethal Dose) of the male rat is observed to be more than 5,000mg/kg. Among dogs, no dead animal was observed up to 600mg/kg and MLD is observed to be more than 600mg/kg.

The toxicity of DA-125. a new anthracycline anticancer agent, on the male reproductive system was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats. Forty male rats were rando$m\ell$y assigned to Jour groups with ten rats in each group and given single intraveneous doses of DA-125 at dose levels of 0. 12.5. 25. and 50 mg/kg body weight. On day 56 after treatment the animals were allowed to mate. and their male reproductive Junctions and organs were examined in detail. Copulated females were sacrificed on day 20 of gestation for examination of embryo-fetal development. One out of ten rats in the 50 mg/kg group died on day 12 after treatment. Clinical signs such as emaciation. sedation, anorexia. swelling. dark material around eye. alopecia. and diarrhea were observed in the 25 and/or 50 mg/kg groups. Reduction in the body weight gain. decrease in the absolute weights of testes. epididymis and seminal vesicles. and/or decrease in the number of testicular sperm heads were also found. Although histopathological changes such as atrophy of seminiferous tubules. loss or decrease of spermatogenic cells. exfoliation of spermatogenic cells. vacuolization of Sertoli cells. decrease of sperm. and/or increase of necrotic spermatogenic cells in epididymal ducts were observed. no adverse effects on the motility and morphology of epididymal sperm. copulation index. fertility index. and embryo-fetal development were detected in the 25 and 50 mg/kg groups. There were no evidences of male reproductive toxicity in the 12.5 mg/kg group. These results show that single intravenouse doses of DA-125 produce significant dose-related testicular atrophy. histopathological changes. and oligozoospermia in rats and $LD_{10}$ for DA-125 appears to be 50 mg/kg body weight.
