본 연구에서는 담쟁이덩굴 추출물이 항산화, 항당뇨 및 항염증 효과에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 수행하였다. 담쟁이덩굴 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 총 페놀함량은 각각 61.5 mg TAE/g과 122.1 mg TAE/g으로 에탄올 추출물에서 훨씬 높게 나타났다. 에탄올 추출물과 부탄올 분획물의 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성은 1 mg/ml에서 95%와 92%의 radical 소거능을 나타내어 positive control로 사용한 비타민 C와 유사한 항산화력을 보였다. SOD 활성은 에탄올 추출물과 부탄올 분획물 1 mg/ml 농도에서 91%, 97%로 높은 활성을 나타내었다. DPPH radical 소거능과 SOD 활성을 측정한 결과 항산화 활성은 모두 농도 의존적으로 증가하였으며 특히 열수추출물과 비교할 때 에탄올 추출물과 부탄올 분획물에서 높은 항산화 효과를 보였다. 담쟁이덩굴 추출물의 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성억제 효과는 에탄올 추출물과 핵산 및 부탄올 분획층에서 높은 항당뇨 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 지금까지 항당뇨 약물로 사용된 것보다도 높은 것으로 나타났다. LPS에 의하여 유도된 NO 합성은 1 mg/ml 농도의 담쟁이추출물을 처리함으로써 NO 합성이 약 40%로 감소하였다. 이러한 결과들은 담쟁이 추출물의 우수한 항산화, 항당뇨, 항염 효과를 시사하고 있으며 특히, 천연 항당뇨 기능성 소재로서 담쟁이 추출물의 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 사료된다.

It is well known that lipidperoxide, formed in vivo, induced the denaturation of enzyme and destruction of cell membrane to acute injury of tissue. Aralia elata have physiological activates, the improvement of lipid metabolism, antidiabetic activity etc., which was thought to have the relationship to lipid peroxidation. The anti-lipidperoxidative effect of Aralia elata have not yet established. In this study, we examined the anti-lipidperoxidative effects of Aralia elata (Butanol fraction) on CCI$_{4}$ induced lipidperoxidation in rats, and elucidated the anti-lipidperoxidative mechanism. In rat liver homogenate intoxicated with CCI$_{4}$ (0.5 ml/100g), BuOH fraction of Aralia elata (80 mg/Kg/day) exhibited 85.41% anti-lipidperoxidative effect but in serum 69.63% inhibitory effects, respectively. In mitochondrial and microsomal fraction showed inhibition of 55.85% and 69.30%, respectively. In order to elucidate the mechanism of anti-lipidperoxidation effects of Aralia elata, enzymatic (NADPH dependent) and non-enzymatic (Ascorbic acid catalyzed) reaction, in vitro, were performed. In enzymatic reation, Aralia elata exhibited 59.43% anti-lipidperoxidation effects, but in non-enzymatic reaction exhibited 43.27% inhibition. Therefore, it is noteworthy that antioxidative power of them may mainly results from the inhibition by enzymatic reaction.

Objectives : Recent etiological studies show that oxidative stress might play a major role in the diabetes and its complications. Mori Ramulus (MR) has been known to have antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects. The methanol extract of MR was tested for its effectiveness in LLC-PK1 cells exposed to high glucose. Methods : The cytoprotective effect of MR was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The antioxidative effect was measured in terms of generation amount of ${\cdot}O_2^-$ by 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA), NO by 4,5-diaminofluorescein (DAF-2), $ONOO^-$ by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123) in the high glucose -treated LLC-$PK_1$ cells. Western blotting was performed using anti-AGE, anti-RAGE, anti-MAPKs(ERK1/2, JNK, p38), anti-PI3K, anti-Akt, and anti-NF-${\kappa}$B (p50, p65) respectively. Results : MR extract reduced cell death and inhibited the generation of ${\cdot}O_2^-$, NO, $ONOO^-$ in the high glucose-treated LLC-$PK_1$ cells. MR inhibited the expression of AGE, RAGE, MAPKs, PI3K, and Akt by means of decreasing NF-${\kappa}$B activation. MR also inhibited NF-${\kappa}$B activation itself. Conclusions : These results indicate MR has cytoprotective, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore it is suggested that MR might prevent and cure diabetes and its complications.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant defense system of cinnamaldehyde in normal, diabetic rats and its possible protection of pancreatic ${\beta}$-cells against its gradual loss under diabetic conditions. In vitro free radical scavenging effect of cinnamaldehyde was determined using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-dipicrylhydrazyl), superoxide radical, and nitric oxide radical. Streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats were orally administered with cinnamaldehyde at concentrations of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg body weight for 45 days. At the end of the experiment, the levels of plasma lipid peroxides and antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, ceruloplasmin, catalase, superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione and glutathione peroxidase were determined. A significant increase in the levels of plasma glucose, vitamin E, ceruloplasmin, and lipid peroxides and significant decrease in the levels of plasma insulin and reduced glutathione were observed in the diabetic rats. Also the activities of pancreatic antioxidant enzymes were altered in the STZ-induced diabetic rats. The altered enzyme activities were reverted to near-normal levels after treatment with cinnamaldehyde and glibenclamide. Histopathological studies also revealed a protective effect of cinnamaldehyde on pancreatic ${\beta}$-cells. Cinnamaldehyde enhances the antioxidant defense against reactive oxygen species produced under hyperglycemic conditions and thus protects pancreatic ${\beta}$-cells against their loss and exhibits antidiabetic properties.

This study investigated the effect of Rehmanniae Radix preparata extract on the antioxidant enzymes of kidney and renal function in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups including normal control (NC), diabetic control (DC), and diabetic treatment with Rehmanniae Radix preparata (DRR). Over a 4-week study period, Rehmanniae Radix preparata aqueous extract was administered orally at 1124 mg/kg BW/day. The serum glucose level in the DRR group was significantly lower (P<0.05) than the DC group. The serum blood urea nitrogen in diabetic groups was significantly higher (P<0.001) than the NC group. The urinary total protein level in the DRR group was significantly lower (P<0.05) than the DC group. The renal xanthine oxidase activity in the DRR group was significantly lower (P<0.01) than the DC group. The renal catalase activity in the DC group was significantly lower (P<0.05) compared to the NC group and that was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the DRR group than the DC group. In conclusion, these results indicated that Rehmanniae Radix preparata can prevent or retard the development of diabetic nephropathy via its beneficial effects for correcting the hyperglycemia and favorable effects on antioxidant enzyme system.

This work is aimed to increase knowledge of the functional exopolysaccharide (EPS) from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in makgeolli, a Korean fermented rice wine. Among LAB strains isolated from makgeolli, strain M76 was selected as a functional strain producing a bioactive EPS, based on its antioxidative activity on the DPPH radical. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis showed a high sequence similarity (99.0%) with P. acidilactici, but had different biochemical properties with the already known P. acidilactici type strains in the aspect of carbohydrates utilization. The obtained P. acidilactici M76 produced a soluble EPS above 2 g/l. One-step chromatography using gel filtration after ethanol precipitation from the supernatant of P. acidilactici M76 was enough to obtain purified EPS with a single peak, showing a molecular mass of approximately 67 kDa. Componential and structural analyses of EPS by TLC, HPLC, and FT-IR indicated that the EPS is a glucan, consisting of glucose units. The purified EPS had antioxidant activity on the DPPH radical of 45.8% at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. The purified EPS also showed proliferative effect on the pancreatic RIN-m5F cell line and remarkable protection activity on alloxan-induced cytotoxicity. This potent antioxidant and antidiabetic EPS by LAB in makgeolli may contribute to understanding the functionality of makgeolli.
