옻나무 추출액을 섭취하며 운동훈련을 부하하였을 때 항산화기능 및 염증성사이토카인의 차이에 대하여 연구하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 Sprague-Dawley(SD)계 수컷 쥐를 대상으로 SED(안정군), TRA(운동훈련군), RVE(옻나무 추출액 섭취군), 그리고 RVE-TRA(옻나무 추출액 섭취와 운동 병행군)으로 구분하였다. TRA와 RVE-TRA는 점증적부하법을 이용한 트레드밀 훈련을 실시하였으며, RVE와 RVE-TRA에게는 10 mL/kg의 옻나무 추출액을 경구투여 하였다. 항산화기능을 분석하기 위하여 혈중 superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px), malondialdehyde(MDA)를 분석하였으며, 염증성사이토카인의 변화분석을 위하여 interleukin-6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-${\alpha}$), C-reactive protein(CRP), nitric oxide(NO)를 분석하였다. SOD는 RVE-TRA가 다른 집단에 비하여 가장 높았으며, TRA가 SED와 RVE에 비하여 유의하게 높았다. GSH-Px는 SED가 다른 집단에 비하여 유의하게 낮았다. MDA는 SED에 비하여 다른 집단에서 모두 유의하게 낮았다. IL-6와 TNF-${\alpha}$는 RVE와 RVE-TRA가 다른 두 집단에 비하여 낮았다. 또한 CRP는 SED가 다른 집단에 비하여 가장 낮았다. NO는 SED와 TRA가 다른 두 집단에 비하여 높았다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때, 운동시옻나무 추출액의 섭취는 지질과산화를 억제시키고 항염증성 반응을 유발하여 운동시 발생가능한 부작용을 억제할 수 있는 결과를 보였다. 이점을 고려하여 옻추출물이 가지고 있는 특성을 최대한 활용하여 다양한 방법으로 접근한다면 우리나라 전역에 걸쳐 자생하고 있는 옻나무의 활용도를 증대시킬 수 있으리라 생각된다.

1. 정상 성인 남자를 대상으로 한 25%의 알콜 100 ml 섭취시 DWP715는 전 대상인에서 $C_{max}$ 및 AUC 등의 감소와 다소 지연된 반감기($T_{1/2}$)를 나타내었으며 2시간에서 최대의 알콜농도 감소효과를 보여 주었다. 2. 3시간 구속스트레스를 통한 피로모델에서 DWP715는 피로부여시 증가된 LDH 수치, GOT수치 및 비장의 무게 등을 정상상태로 유지시켰다. 3. 과산화지질 생성을 위해 $CC1_4$로 유도된 항산화효과 측정 모델에서 DWP715는 대조군에 비해 유의적인 MDA감소를 보여주었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 DWP715는 알콜섭취 후 유도되는 간기능 저하에 따른 피로 상태와 아세트알데히드에 의해 형성되는 라디칼에 의한 간조직 손상을 보호해 주며 알콜섭취시 혈중으로의 알콜 흡수를 저하시키는 효능을 갖고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 DWP715는 혈중 알콜농도 감소와 함께 알콜섭취 후 발생되는 비특이적인 생체반응들에 의한 체내 불균형 상태를 효과적으로 회복시켜 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide and are characterized by increased opacity of the lens that significantly diminishes visual acuity. It has been suggested that increased risk of lens opacities are associated with age, exposure to sunlight, diabetes, smoking, and poor nutrition. Antioxidant nutrients have born demonstrated to protect the lens membrane and protein against damage due to oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant system in the blood of cataract patients. The status of the blood antioxidant system was evaluated based on the levels of antioxidant vitamins and minerals as well as glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (M7A) activity in 34 patients with cataracts (17 male and 17 female) and 45 control subjects (20 male and 25 female). After adjusting for age, the results showed significantly lower levels of antioxidant vitamins such as lycopene (M : p < 0.05, F: p < 0.01), zeaxanthin (F: p < 0.01), ${\gamma}$-tocopherol (F: p < 0.01) and ascorbic arid (M: p < 0.05) in the cataract patients than in the control subjects. In contrast, the concentration of cryptoxanthin (F : p < 0.07) showed a significantly higher value in the cataract patients. The serum level of the antioxidant mineral Zn (M : p < 0.01) was found to be significantly lower in the cataract patients while the ratio of cu/zn appeared significantly higher (M : p < 0.05). Significantly higher (M : p < 0.01, F: p < 0.05) concentrations of MDA in serum was found in the cataract patients as compared to the control subjects. GSH-Px activity was significantly lower (F: p < 0.05) in 71e cataract patients. In conclusion, the antioxidant system may play an important roll in cataract creation. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying these findings and to establish preventive measures with an emphasis on antioxidant nutrition for cataract patients.

Persimmon is well-known as a Korean traditional medicine for alleviating coughs and enhancing blood circulation; it is also used for treatment of hypertension, cancer, diabetes and atherosclerosis. To evaluate the protective properties of persimmon leaf methanol extract (PLME) and persimmon fruit methanol extract (PFME) administration on acute ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity, C57BL/6 male mice were gavaged with or without persimmon extracts for 1 week. Hepatotoxicity was then induced by gavage of 5 g/kg BW ethanol. After 12 hr of ethanol administration, blood and liver were collected and analyzed for biochemical markers of hepatotoxicity. The results showed PLME and PFME treatments decreased the activities of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) compared with ethanol control. Both PLME and PFME reduced serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, but elevated alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity. Serum triglyceride (TG) and hepatic cholesterol levels were significantly decreased when treated with PLME and PFME. Liver malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were significantly decreased in PLME and PFME groups compared with ethanol control. Furthermore, the administration of PLME and PFME significantly increased the activities of catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione reductase (GSH-red). In summary, PLME and PFME appeared to prevent hepatic injury by accelerating alcohol metabolism by increasing alcohol-metabolizing enzyme activities, by activating the antioxidative enzyme system against oxidative stress, and by decreasing fat accumulation, which is evidenced by decreased hepatotoxic indices in serum.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ribes khorasanicum (R. khorasanicum); a plant growing in north Khorasan of Iran; on cardiovascular and stress oxidative in acute hypertension induced by N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), anitric oxide synthase inhibitor. Methods: Rats were divided into Control, L-NAME (10 mg/kg), Sodium Nitroprusside (SNP) (50 mg/kg) + L-NAME and three treated groups with R. khorasanicum (4, 12 and 24 mg/kg) groups + L-NAME. L-NAME and SNP were injected intravenously and extract intraperitoneal. In R. khorasanicum groups, L-NAME was injected 30 min after injection of the extract. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded continuously using power lab software. At the end of study oxidative stress parameters including of total thiol content (SH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in heart and aorta of all groups were also measured. Results: In groups 4 and 24 mg/kg extract +L-NAME, there was a non-significant decrease in SBP and MAP compared to L-NAME group but dose 12 mg/kg significantly attenuate the effect of L-NAME(P < 0.05). In L-NAME group the heart and aorta tissues antioxidant enzymes levels decreased, while in treated rats these enzymes significantly increased. Conclusion: The extract of R. khorasanicum in dose 12 mg/kg show anti-hypertensive effect that is mediated by an effect on NO system or antioxidant parameters.

A 60-d feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of diets supplemented with two concentrations (0% and 0.3%) of black raspberry (Rubus coreanus Miquel) fruit by-product (RCFB) on the physicochemical characteristics, oxidative stability, antioxidant capacity, antioxidant enzyme activity, and fatty acid profile of M. longissimus dorsi (LL) porcine muscle from Berkshire finishing pigs meat. Results revealed that regardless of the sex, diets supplemented with 0.3% RCFB reduced (p<0.05) the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) expressed as malonaldehyde (MDA) content effectively. A higher antioxidant capacity [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity] was found (p<0.05) in response to feeding supplemented with 0.3% RCBF for male or female pigs. Moreover, 0.3% RCFB dietary feed increased (p<0.05) the glutathione peroxidase enzyme activities (GPX1) in blood plasma for male or female pigs. However, no influences were observed (p>0.05) on meat color, WHC, shear force, and fatty acid contents while fed diet supplemented with 0% or 0.3% RCFB for male or female pigs. Overall, this study suggests that a diet supplemented with 0.3% RCFB may beneficially affect owing to better oxidative stability, higher antioxidant capacity, and antioxidant enzyme activity (blood plasma) in pigs which could be a promising natural antioxidant without affecting meat quality traits.
