Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 12 weeks walking exercise program participation on changes in aging-related hormones concentration in elderly men. Methods: 16 elderly men(above 65 years old) were participated in 12 weeks walking exercise program by group types(exercise group ; n=8 & control group ; n=8), and their aging-related hormones(GH, testosterone and melatonin) levels were assessed before program(0 week) and after program(12 weeks). Regularly walking exercise program(field walking exercise) performed for 12 weeks(3days/week, 60~70min/day, HRR 55~65%). All data were expressed as mean and standard deviation by using SPSS/$PC^+$(ver. 13.0) program, and to evaluate the differences before and after treatment by groups, data were analyzed by paired t-test(a${\leq}$.05) and 2-way ANOVA was performed to examine the differences between groups and within groups by variables. Results and Conclusion: The conclusions obtained from this study were as follows ; In growth hormone. testosterone and melatonin response after 12 weeks exercise was increased significantly in walking exercise group(p<.01; p<.001; p<.001). And in result of 2-way ANOVA analysis for group, exercise, group${\times}$exercise, as compared with the exercise, there is significant difference in all items. Interaction effect of between group and exercise is difference significantly on GH(F=5.915, p<.05), testosterone(F=15.117, p<.01) and melatonin(F=8.131. p<.01) in all groups. We observed a direct relationship(positive improvement) between the regular physical activity and aging-related hormones(growth hormone, testosterone and melatonin concentrations) in elderly men.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of resistance training intensity levels on muscle damaged index and aging-related hormones in obese middle-aged women. Thirty middle-aged women having over 30% of body fat participated in this study. The subjects were assigned into 3 groups on the basis of workout intensity, 50% intensity, 60% intensity, and 70% intensity. After performing three different types of exercise for 12 weeks, the levels of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), melatonin, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEA-S), and growth hormone (GH) in all subjects were assessed before and after the program. Muscle damaged index was effectively changed in low exercise intensity group. However, aging-related hormones were effectively changed in high exercise intensity group. DHEA-S and GH were significantly increased in the 70% intensity group than the other groups.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a critical hormone produced in the hypothalamus, is essential for regulating reproductive processes. It has also been demonstrated the presence of GnRH and its receptors (GnRHR) in ovarian and uterine tissues, but little was known about the regulation mechanism of their expression in these organs and ovarian aging. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of GnRHR in the ovary and uterus of mice, particularly after high-dose gonadotropin treatments and in relation to aging. Quantitative real-time-PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed that pituitary gland had the highest GnRHR expression in both young and aged mice. In addition, liver expression was higher in young mice, whereas thymus expression was higher in aged mice. GnRHR mRNA was present in the ovaries of both young and aged mice but nearly undetectable in the uterus of aged mice. We next examined the expression of GnRHR in the ovary and uterus in response to high-dose administration of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG). After PMSG administration, GnRH mRNA levels were significantly decreased in the ovary but increased in the uterus. The expression of GnRH mRNA in these organs showed opposite trends to that of GnRHR expression. These results suggest the involvement of GnRH in age-related reproductive decline and the potential effects of high-dose gonadotropin treatments on reproductive organ function.

Mammalian cardiocytes secrete atrial natriuretic peptides (ANPs) into plasma, which cause marked natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation and inhibition of hormone secretions. Aging influences the ability of the kidney both to conserve and to excrete sodium; i.e., in old animals, the excretory capacity of sodium is reduced and the time required to excrete sodium load is prolonged. Therefore, it is possible that animals differing in ages may respond differently to ANP. In the present study, we determined whether the renal, hormonal and vascular effects of ANP may be influenced by aging in conscious rabbits. The plasma renin concentration decreased with aging but plasma ANP concentration was significantly lower only in 24-month-old rabbits. Plasma aldosterone concentration and atrial ANP content did not change by aging. In 1-month-old rabbits, ANP (atriopeptin III, 3 ug/kg) administered intravenously caused hypotension and decreased in plasma renin and aldosterone concentrations, but did not cause diuresis and natriuresis. In 2 to 5 month-old rabbits, ANP caused hypotension, decreases in Plasma renin and aldosterone concentrations and marked renal effects. However, in 24-month-old rabbits, all the above effects of ANP was blunted. With hydration of physiological saline at a rate of 15 ml/kg/h for 2hr, urine volume and glomerular filtration rate did not change but the electrolyte excretion as well as fractional excretion of sodium significantly increased. The plasma concentrations of active renin and aldosterone were decreased but plasma inactive renin and ANP concentrations were increased. The changes in renal function and plasma level of hormone showed no differences in different ages. These results suggest that the peripheral vascular receptors to ANP may develop earlier than those in the kidney, and the attenuated vascular and renal responses to ANP in the old age may be due to age-related modifications in renal function and blood vessel.

암컷 포유동물의 노화 과정에서 생식계는 체내 여러 시스템 가운데 가장 먼저 기능 저하가 나타난다. 생식 노화(reproductive aging) 과정 중인 암컷 포유동물은 비록 종 특이성이 있지만 주기성(cyclicity)의 소실과 같은 생식 능력의 감소와 함께 여러 기능들의 변화가 동반되면서 궁극적으로 인간의 폐경 현상과 같은 생식 능력 상실이 나타난다. 본 증설은 암컷 포유동물의 생식호르몬 축, 특히 신경내분비 회로의 노화에 대한 정보들과 노화 연구에 유용한 설치류 모델들을 소개하고자 한다. 암컷 설치류의 중년(middle age, 생후 $8{\sim}12$개월)은 인간의 폐경기 진입 직전에 해당되는 시기로, 이 시기에 시상하부 GnRH 분비의 맥동성과 급등(surge)이 현저히 지연되기 시작하고, 곧 이어 뇌하수체 LH 분비의 맥동성과 급등이 역시 약화 내지 지연된다. 노화와 관련된 GnRH-LH 신경내분비 활성의 결손은 시상하부 GnRH 뉴런의 활성을 조절하는 여러 자극(예, glutamate)들의 변화와 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 많은 연구자들이 이러한 '시상하부 결손(hypothalamic defects)'이 생식 노화의 주된 요인임을 지지하지만, inhibin과 같은 난소 요인의 변화 역시 생식 노화의 유도와 관련된 것으로 보인다. 생식 노화를 연구함에 유용한 몇몇 설치류 모델이 있다; FSH 수용체 녹아웃(follitropin receptor knockout; FORKO) 생쥐 모델의 경우는 homozygous(null) 뿐만 아니라 heterozygous(haploinsufficient) 상태도 노화에 따른 난자/난포의 고갈을 나타낸다. Dioxin/aryl hydrocarbon 수용체 녹아웃 (AhRKO) 생쥐 모델도 유사한 상태를 유발할 수 있다. 생식 노화의 기작에 관한 연구는 삶의 질을 높이기 위한 수단들, 예를 들어 호르몬 보충요법(HRT)의 장단점을 평가하고 안전성을 제고하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

Background: To investigate the effect of pectinase-treated Panax ginseng (GINST) in cellular and male subfertility animal models. Methods: Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$)-induced mouse spermatocyte GC-2spd cells were used as an in vitro model. Cell viability was measured using MTT assay. For the in vivo study, GINST (200 mg/kg) mixed with a regular pellet diet was administered orally for 4 mo, and the changes in the mRNA and protein expression level of antioxidative and spermatogenic genes in young and aged control rats were compared using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Results: GINST treatment ($50{\mu}g/mL$, $100{\mu}g/mL$, and $200{\mu}g/mL$) significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited the $H_2O_2$-induced ($200{\mu}M$) cytotoxicity in GC-2spd cells. Furthermore, GINST ($50{\mu}g/mL$ and $100{\mu}g/mL$) significantly (p < 0.05) ameliorated the $H_2O_2$-induced decrease in the expression level of antioxidant enzymes (peroxiredoxin 3 and 4, glutathione S-transferase m5, and glutathione peroxidase 4), spermatogenesis-related protein such as inhibin-${\alpha}$, and specific sex hormone receptors (androgen receptor, luteinizing hormone receptor, and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor) in GC-2spd cells. Similarly, the altered expression level of the above mentioned genes and of spermatogenesis-related nectin-2 and cAMP response element-binding protein in aged rat testes was ameliorated with GINST (200 mg/kg) treatment. Taken together, GINST attenuated $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress in GC-2 cells and modulated the expression of antioxidant-related genes and of spermatogenic-related proteins and sex hormone receptors in aged rats. Conclusion: GINST may be a potential natural agent for the protection against or treatment of oxidative stress-induced male subfertility and aging-induced male subfertility.
