The ethanol extraction yield of Meliae toosendan fructus(MT) was about 24.5% by extract apparatus. This study was done to investigate the carbohydrate metabolism related enzyme activities and antioxidative effects of MT in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The contents of serum glucose, triglyceride (TG) were significantly decreaed in MT treated group compared to the those of STZ-control group, also content of Total cholesterol was decreased. High density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol was increased in MT treated group. The activity of glucose-6-pase(G-6-Pase) was significantly decreased in MT treated group. Also the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G-6-PDH) and glucokinase(Gk) were increaed in MT treated group. The content of hepatic glycogen was significantly increaed in MT treated group, in addition, content of malondialdehyde(MDA) was significanly decreased in MT treated group. Also, content of glutathione(GSH)was dereased in MT treated froup. whereas, activity of catalase(CAT) was significantly increaed in MT treated group compared to the those of STZ-control group. activity of glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) was inecreaed. In conclusion, these results indicated that ethanol extract of MT would have carbohydrate metabolism antioxidative effects in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Streptozotocin으로 당뇨를 유발한 쥐에서 거대배아미의 급여가 혈장 및 간조직의 지질과산화물과 항산화효소에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험기간동안 모든 당뇨군들의 체중증가는 정상군에 비해서는 유의적으로 낮았다. 거대배아미를 급여한 군은 당뇨대조군에 비해서 체중감소현상이 억제되었으며, 식이섭취량은 정상군에 비해 당뇨대조군들이 높게 나타났다. 장기무게는 당뇨군이 당뇨대조군보다 높았으나 거대배아미를 포함한 쌀식이군에서는 낮게 나타났고, 혈당의 변화는 당뇨대조군에 비해서 거대배아미군이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 혈장 및 간조직 중의 지질과산화물은 당뇨대조군에 비해서 거대배아미가 낮은 수준의 지질과산화물 값을 보였다. 혈장중의 비타민 A와 E의 농도는 당뇨대조군이 정상군에 비해서 유의적으로 감소하였으며 당뇨대조군에 비해 거대배아미급여군이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 간조직의 항산화 효소 중 SOD의 활성은 거대배아미군이 당뇨대조군에 비하여 높았다. 이상의 결과에서 거대배아미를 급여한 당뇨쥐의 낮은 지질과산화물값과 높은 항산화계 효소의 활성이 간조직의 산화적 손상을 감소시키는 원인으로 생각된다.

The antioxidant enzyme (AOE) system plays an important role in the defense against oxidative stress damage. To determine whether myricetin or myricetin/taurine can exert antioxidative effects not only by modulating the AOE system directly but also by scavenging free radical, we investigated the influence of the myricetin and taurine on cell viability ROS level, activities of different antioxidant enzyme, and the expression of different antioxidant enzyme. As results, the cell viability showed inhibition of the proliferation with treatment of 'myricetin' or 'myricetin with taruine', respectively, with dose-dependent manner. Compared to control, the treatment of 'myricetin' decreased activities and gene expressions of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). However, combined treatment of 'myricetin with taurine' increased activities and gene expressions of the SOD, GPx, and catalase (CAT). In addition, the combined treatment of 'myricetin with taurine' somewhat decreased ROS levels, compared to the treatment of 'myricetin'. In conclusion, our study provides that the combined treatment of different antioxidants can enhance antioxidant effects.

This study investigated the effects of Houttuynia Cordata thunb(HCT) administration on the biochemical parameters of function in liver of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) treated rats. Houttuynia Cordata thunb (200mg/kg) was administeres into rats intraperitoneally for four weeks , seven days after the injection of TCDD(1$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg). We examined the antioxidative enzymatic activity by measuring the level of AST, ALT , SOD and Catalase in serum and liver tissue of rats. HCT group showed 49% of inhibitive effect in AST activity compared to TANO group. ALT level of HCT group was decreased to the level of NO group. SOD and Catalase in TANO group were lower than in NO group, but SOD and Catalase in HCT group were increased by 46％ and by 50％ respectively compared to TANO group.

Growth of G. max treated with $NO_3^-$-N was decreased by high NaCl treatments, but $NH_4NO_3$-fed plants showed good growth with enhanced activity of antioxidative enzymes (SOD and APX). Especially, activity of APX was higher in 5 mM $NH_4NO_3$-fed plants than other types of N-supplied plants throughout the stress period. Higher SOD activity under salt stress was accompanied by increase in APX activity in 5 mM $NH_4NO_3$-fed plants. Similarly, application of calcium confirmed somewhat positive effects on growth. Salt-treated soybean plants showed the best growth response with the increase of SOD and APX activity at an additional 5 mM calcium treatment. Especially, the increase of SOD activity through the strengthened CuZn-SOD isoform was remarkable.

오존에 따른 피해 현상을 관찰해 보고 식물 수종에 따라 어떤 차이가 있는지 알아보기 위해서 소나무(Pinus densiflora)와 실내식물 가운데 많이 활용되는 스파티필름(Spathiphyllum patinii), 스킨답서스(Epipremnum aureum)의 항산화 효소인 GR(Glutathione Reductase), APX(Ascorbate peroxidase)의 활성, 광합성속도와 잎의 해부학적 피해 현상을 관찰하였다. 오존농도는 30 ppb로 유지했고, 50일 동안 하루 8시간(09:00~17:00) 오존을 처리한 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 오존 농도가 30 ppb정도의 낮은 농도에서 소나무는 광합성속도, 수분이용효율, 항산화 효소의 활성, 잎의 해부학적인 특성에서 대조구와 크게 다르지 않은 것을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 실내식물인 스파티필름과 스킨답서스의 광합성속도, 항산화 효소의 활성(특히, GR의 활성), 잎의 해부학적 특성이 대조구와 오존 처리구간의 상당한 차이를 보여, 오존에 대한 민감성이 소나무에 비해 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in the metabolic process of oxygen in cells. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in cells systemize the antioxidant enzymes to control the oxidative stress. Genistein is one of the isoflavonoids, and its role in controlling cellular oxidative stress is presently the active issue at question. In this study; we analyzed genistein-induced survival rates of the CHO-K1 cells, activities of antioxidant enzymes, ROS levels, and expression levels of antioxidant enzyme genes in order to investigate the effect of genistein on cellular ROS production and antioxidative systems in CHO-K1 cells. As results, the survival rate of cells was decreased as the dose of genistein increases (12.5${\sim}$200 ${\mu}$M). Genistein increased cellular ROS levels, while it reduced total SOD activities and the expression of CuZnSOD. In conclusion, we suggest that genistein may induce oxidative stress via down-regulation of SOD.

We investigated antioxidative activity of the ethanol extracts of leaves of Cornus walteri Wanger (CWE) by treated enzyme in human dermal fibroblast (HDFs) irradiated by UVB. We examined the in vitro chemical and cellular antioxidant activities of CWE in HDFs. We employed scavenging assay for the 1,1-diphenyl-2,5-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals and cellular antioxidative activity of CWE, and we was investigated in $H_2O_2$-treated or UVB-irradiated HDFs. The CWE effectively scavenged DPPH radicals ($IC_{50}$ $7.03{\pm}0.4{\mu}g/mL$) when compared to the scavenging activities of L-ascorbic acid ($IC_{50}$ $4.69{\pm}0.3{\mu}g/mL$). CWE reduced UVB-induced cellular damage in HS68 cells by MTT assay and inhibited intracellular ROS generation in dose-dependent manner. In addition, CWE also attenuated the elevated levels of 8-isoprostane resulting from UVB-mediated oxidative stress. Collectively, these results suggest that CWE could be a new potential candidate as antioxidant against UVB-induced oxidative stress in HDFs.

This study was conducted to investigate whether dietary chlorella intake could have an effect on antioxidative capacity in rats oxidatively stressed with cadmium (Cd). Sprague-Dawley rats fed dietary chlorella (0, 5, and 10%) for 4 weeks after induction of oxidative stress by exposing to Cd (200 ppm) for 8 weeks. After the oxidative stress applied, plasma and liver malondialdehyde concentrations and xanthine oxidase activities were decreased in 5% chlorella fed group compared to chlorella free group. Although liver heme oxygenase-1 protein expression was not affected by chlorella, the enzyme activity was improved in 5% chlorella fed group. Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity and hepatic metallothionein concentration were increased in 5% chlorella fed group. However, 10% chlorella intake had no effect on the improvement of oxidative stress-related enzymes and proteins. These findings suggest that, after induction of oxidative stress with Cd, 5% chlorella intake might improve antioxidative capacity against oxidative stress.
