Leptin, the hormone product of the obese gene, is secreted predominately from white adipose tissue and regulates feed intake, energy metabolism and body composition. It has been considered a candidate gene for performance, carcass and meat quality traits in beef cattle. The objective of this study was to identify SNPs in the promoter region of the leptin gene and to evaluate the possible association of the SNP genotypes with carcass and meat quality traits in Korean cattle. We identified a total of 25 SNPs in the promoter region (1,208-3,049 bp upstream from the transcription start site) of the leptin gene, eleven (g.1508C>G, g.1540G>A, g.1545G>A, g.1551C>T, g.1746T>G, g.1798ins(G), g.1932del(T), g.1933del(T), g.1934del(T), g.1993C>T and g.2033C>T) of which have not been reported previously. Their sequences were deposited in GenBank database with accession number DQ202319. Genotyping of the SNPs located at positions g.2418C>G and g.2423G>A within the promoter region was performed by direct sequencing and PCR-SSCP method to investigate the effects of SNP genotypes on carcass and meat quality traits in Korean cattle. The SNP and SSCP genotypes from the two mutations of the leptin promoter were shown to be associated with the BF trait. The average BF value of animals with heterozygous SNP genotype was significantly greater than that of animals with the homozygous SNP genotypes for the g.2418C>G and g.2423G>A SNPs (p<0.05). Analysis of the combined genotype effect in both SNPs showed that animals with the AC SSCP genotype had higher BF value than animals with BB or AA SSCP genotypes (p<0.05). These results suggest that SNP of the leptin promoter region may be useful markers for selection of economic traits in Korean cattle.

In this review, the terminology that is used to describe ileal amino acid (AA) digestibilities in piglet feed ingredients is defined. If one accepts that the determination of AA digestibilities should be based on the ileal analysis method, one should consider that ileal digesta contains variable amounts of endogenous crude protein (CP), which originates mainly from digestive secretions, sloughedoff epithelial cells and mucins. The ileal endogenous CP and AA losses are separated into basal ileal endogenous CP and AA losses ($IAAL_{B}$), which are not influenced by the feed ingredient composition, and specific ileal endogenous CP and AA losses ($IAAL_{S}$), which are induced by feed ingredient characteristics such as level and type of fiber and anti-nutritional factors (ANF). Depending how ileal endogenous CP and AA losses are considered in the measurement of CP and AA digestibilities, digestibility values are expressed as apparent (AID), standardized (SID), or true (TID) ileal digestibilities of CP and AA. The main concern associated with the use of AID values in diet formulation for pigs is that they are not additive in mixtures of feed ingredients. Consequently, the concept of standardized ileal CP and AA digestibilities was introduced by correcting AID values for basal ileal endogenous CP and AA losses ($IAAL_{B}$). The correction for both $IAAL_{B}$ and $IAAL_{S}$ yields TID values, however, routine procedures to measure $IAAL_{S}$ are not yet available. In principle, SID values should be preferred, because they represent the fundamental properties of the feed ingredient. There exist only few reports on SID of CP and AA in feedstuffs frequently used in piglet nutrition. These include soybeans (SB), soybean meal (SBM), soy proteins (SP), soy protein concentrate (SPC), soy protein isolate (SPI), corn gluten (CG), wheat gluten (WG), pea protein (PeaP), potato protein (PotP), fish meal (FM) and whey proteins (WP), but the results obtained are inconsistent. Differences in SID values within feed ingredients may, at least in part, be attributed to different processing conditions or inherent differences of the assay feed ingredients. Moreover, there is some evidence that the determination of SID values and $IAAL_{B}$ in piglets may be confounded by the dietary CP level of the assay diet, age and (or) body weight (BW), the level of feed intake or the methodological approach used to determine $IAAL_{B}$.

Sodium chloride plays an important role as the main condiment at daily meal. It is well known that humans require sodium chloride as an essential nutrient to keep the homeostasis of electrolytes. The amounts of salt intake may be a reflection of geography, culture and food habit rather than necessity. Lee has reported (1962) that Koreans ingest high amounts of sodium chloride in their meals, with an intake of excess carbohydrate (80-90% of total Calories) and low protein in their diet. This includes large amounts of rice, Kimchi and other fermented soybean products common in the Korean diet. This investigation was designed to study the dietary relations of sodium chloride to other nutrients in the Korean diet. Twenty four albino male rats, weighing from 290-300g, were divided into four dietary groups according to the amounts of carbohydrate, protein and fat in the basal diet. Each diet contained a rice powder as a carbohydrate source. Diet I was a control diet, Diet II, low protein, Diet III, low protein and low fat diet and Diet IV, low fat diet. All rats were provided with 3% sodium chloride solution. Diet and salt solution were given ad libitum. The experiment was carried out for 9 weeks during which time the body weight, the food intake, and 3% sodium chloride solution consumption were determined. At the 9th week, the urine was collected the blood sample from the artery of each rat for the analysis of sodium and potassium and other chemical studies. The rats were sacrificed and the kidney, adrenal, liver and spleen were measured, and observed changes of the pathological tissue in the kidney and adrenal. The results were summarized as follows: 1) The growth rate was higher in Diet I than in the other experimental diets (II, III and IV) after 4 weeks. There was no significant difference found between the experimental Diets II, III and IV. 2) The daily food intake was greater in the experimental diets II, III and IV than in the control diet. However, there was no difference among the high carbohydrate diets Diet II, III and IV. 3) The daily water (3% sodium chloride solution) intake was also greater in the Diets II, III and IV, than in the control diet. However, there was no difference between Diets II, III and IV. 4) The concentration of sodium and potassium in the blood were within the normal range in all diets. 5) The amount of sodium chloride in the urine was significantly greater in Diets II, III and IV than in the control diet. Diets II, III, IV had a larger amount of sodium solution consumption. 6) Observation of pathological tissue in the experimental diets found a cell proliferation in the glomerlulus of the kidney, while such change was not found in the control diet.

Background : Many previous studies have shown that elevated homocysteine in the serum is a well known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and this is associated with other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, but any Korean data on this is limited. Objectives : This study aimed to calculate the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia and to analyze the relation between elevated homocysteine and the lifestyle factors of Korean adults. Methods : We conducted a cross-sectional survey that included 650 men and 743 women (age range, 20 to 79 years) who were residents of Gwangju City in Gyeonggi-do. These subjects participated in the health interview and examination survey from November to December 2005. The total homocysteine, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride in the serum were measured. All the participants had their body composition measured such as height and weight, and we obtained health-related behavioral information through the self-entry questionnaire. Results : Very right-handed skewed distributions of homocysteine were shown in men and women. The prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia was 22.6% in men and 13.7% in women in Gwangju city. On the multiple logistic regression analysis, hyperhomocysteinemia was associated with age (OR=1.02, 95% CI=1.01-1.04), male gender (OR=1.60, 95% CI=1.02-2.52), severe general physical activity (OR=0.32, 95% CI=0.15-0.69) and nutrient consumption (OR=0.49, 95% CI=0.31-0.76). Conclusions : There is a great prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia in adults of Gwangju City, Korea and it was associated with both genetic factors and lifestyle risk factors. This study can suggest that comprehensive lifestyle modification is needed in order to diminish the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia and to prevent CVD.

일측폐장을 절제한 뒤 대상성증식기의 폐장을 태아폐장증식의 모델로 삼고 이때 steroid가 대상성증식중의 폐장내 제II형폐포세포의 폐포표면활성물질의 분비에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 본 실험의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 잔류폐장의 무게 및 체중에 대한 폐장무게의 비는 폐절제후 betamethasone을 투여한 군에서 폐절제군에 비해 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 2. 폐세척액내의 인지질인의 함량은 폐절제후 betamethasone을 투여한 군에 있어서는 무처치대조군에 비해서는 유의한(p<0.01) 증가를 보였고 폐절제군에 비해서는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 3. TLC(thin layer chromatography)를 통해 폐세척액내의 인지질의 조성을 조사한 결과, 폐절제후 betamethasone을 투여한 군은 무처치대조군 및 폐절제군과는 다른 양상을 보였다. 이상의 실험결과로 미루어 steroid는 태아폐장의 대상성증식기에 폐포표면활성물질의 분비를 증가시키며 동시에 제II형폐포세포에서 분비되는 폐포표면활성물질의 주성분인 인지질의 조성에도 변화를 일으켜 폐장의 융압률을 증가시킨다고 사료된다.

The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of dietary fermented by-product of mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, (FBPM) as a fish meal (FM) replacer in juvenile Amur catfish, Silurus asotus. A total number of 225 fish averaging $5.7{\pm}0.1g$ ($mean{\pm}standard$ deviation) were fed one of the five experimental diets formulated to replace FM with FBPM at 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, and 30% ($FBPM_0$, $FBPM_5$, $FBPM_{10}$, $FBPM_{20}$, and $FBPM_{30}$, respectively). At the end of eight weeks of the experiment, average weight gain (WG) of fish fed $FBPM_0$ or $FBPM_5$ were significantly higher than those of fish fed $FBPM_{20}$ or $FBPM_{30}$ diets (p<0.05). However, there was no significant differences in WG among the fish fed $FBPM_0$, $FBPM_5$ or $FBPM_{10}$, and between fish fed $FBPM_{10}$ or $FBPM_{20}$, and also between those fed $FBPM_{20}$ or $FBPM_{30}$ diets. Lysozyme activity of fish fed $FBPM_0$ or $FBPM_5$ were significantly higher than those of fish fed $FBPM_{10}$, $FBPM_{20}$ or $FBPM_{30}$ diets (p<0.05). The chemiluminescent response of fish fed $FBPM_5$ was significantly higher than those of fish fed $FBPM_0$, $FBPM_{20}$ or $FBPM_{30}$ diets (p<0.05). Broken line regression analysis of WG suggested that the maximal dietary inclusion level for FBPM as a FM replacer could be 6.3% without any adverse effects on whole body composition and on serological characteristics. Therefore, these results may indicate that the maximal dietary inclusion level of FBPM as a FM replacer could be 6.3% in juvenile Amur catfish.

Adrenergic receptors play a major role in thermogenesis and lipolysis in brown and visceral adipose tissues, and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity and metabolic disorders. The purpose of this study was to estimate the effects of $\beta$2-adrenergic receptor ($\beta$2AR) and $\beta$3-adrenergic receptor ($\beta$3AR) genotypes on hyperglycemia and obesity in the Korean population. A representative sample consisting of 530 Korean men and women were measured for height, weight, BMI, WHR, obesity index and body composition. The genotypes of $\beta$2AR polymorphism in codon 27 and $\beta$3AR polymorphism in codon 64 were analyzed by the PCR RFLP method. Serum concentrations of fasting glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride were determined. The frequencies of $\beta$2AR and $\beta$3AR genotype were: both wild type, 62.5% ; only $\beta$2AR variant type, 12.8% ; only $\beta$3AR variant type, 18.8% ; and both variant type, 5.8% ; the frequency of E and R alleles were 0.098 and 0.137, respectively. Among the physiological parameters, fasting glucose level was significantly higher in subjects with both variant type compared with the three other types (p <0.05), Subjects with both variant type had 12%, 12% and 9.3% increases in serum glucose levels compared with wild type, only $\beta$2AR variant type, and only $\beta$3AR variant type, respectively. When logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the risk for hyperglycemia, the subjects were selected for fasting blood glucose concentrations of more than 6.105 m㏖/L (110 mg/dL), and the odds ratios were 1.215 (p=0.636) for only $\beta$2AR variant type,1.659 (p=0.089) for only $\beta$3AR variant type, and 3.078 (p=0.011) for both variant type. These results suggest that the interaction of $\beta$2AR and $\beta$3AR variant genotypes has a strong association with increased glucose levels, and might be a significant risk factor for hyperglycemia among Korean subjects.

이성중심의 서향철학사 속에서 '감각'은 '이성'의 하위개념으로 폄하되어왔다. 그러나 21세기 현대의 시각 환경은 '이성' 중심의 인식론을 밀어내고, 그 자리에 '감성' '감각'으로 재구성되고 있다. 특히 대중영상물들은 이러한 변화를 가장 빠르게 반영하고 또 선도하는 분야라 할 수 있다. 그러나 불행하게도 대중영상물들에서 '감각'에 대한 예술적, 미학적 의미를 고민한 흔적을 찾아내기는 쉽지 않다. 이는 오랜 역사를 거쳐 '감각'을 '이성'의 하위개념으로 인식하여 '감각'은 표피적인 것, 진짜가 아닌 것으로만 치부되어 온 탓 때문일 것이다. 때문에 '감각'의 새로운 가치를 부여한 현대 철학가 질 들뢰즈의 감각론을 검토해 보고, 그 개념을 영상화하고 있는 크리스 커닝햄(Chris Cunningham)의 작품세계를 분석하는 것은 유의미한 일이다. 그가 제작한 에이펙스 트윈(Aphex Twin)의 뮤직비디오 3편을 분석한 결과 질 들뢰즈가 <감각의 논리>에서 제시하는 '기관 없는 신체' '히스테리' '디아그람'을 기반하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 크리스 커닝햄을 포함해 최근에 발표된 '감각'을 주제로 한 영상작품들을 제작방법이나, 화면구성 등 표피적인 방법으로 분석하는 것은 작가의 예술 철학을 간과하는 오류를 범하게 된다. 새롭게 전개되고 있는 현대 감각론을 이해하고 그 실체에 대한 탐구와 영상작품들의 분석은 새로운 대안을 제시하는 밑거름이 될 것이다.

고혈압과 영양소 섭취와의 관계를 분석하기 위하여 춘천시 남면과 사북면의 10개리에 거주하는 30세 이상 성인을 대상으로 1995년 7월$\sim$8월, 1996년 6월에 혈압측정 및 24시간 회상법을 이용한 식이조사를 시행하여 남자 250명, 여자 297명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 혈압과 영양소 섭취와의 관련성을 분석한 결과를 요약하면 아래와 같다. 1. 평균 수축기 혈압과 영양소 섭취와의 상관관계 분석에서 유의한 상관관계를 보인 영양소는 남성에서 단백질 에너지(%)였다$(\gamma=0.16)$. 여성에서는 유의한 상관 관계를 보여주지 않았다. 2. 평균 이완기 혈압과의 상관관계 분석시 남성에서 단백질 밀도와 단백질 에너지(%)가 강한 양의 상관관계를(p<0.01)보여주었으며, 칼슘 밀도(calcium density)와 에너지 보정 단백질도 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보여주었다. 여성에서는 유의한 상관관계를 보인 영양소는 없었다. 3. 탄수화물과 나트륨을 제외한 영양소 섭취량은 전체적으로 고혈압군에서 높았으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 4. 다중선형회귀분석(multiple linear regression analysis)에서 남성의 경우 영양소 밀도를 이용한 모델에서는 평균 이완기 혈압만이 단백질 밀도와 유의한 양의 연관성을 보여주었다. 에너지 보정 영양소를 이용한 모델에서는 평균 이완기 혈압과 에너지 보정 단백질만이 유의한 양의 연관성을, 총 열량은 음의 연관성을 보여주었다. 여성의 경우는 평균 수축기 및 이완기 혈압과 유의한 연관성을 보여주는 영양소는 없었다. 5. 고혈압과 영양소와의 관계를 성, 연령, 체질량 지수, 가족력을 보정하고 선형중회귀로짓분석을 이용하여 분석시 영양소 밀도를 이용한 모델에서는 단백질 밀도가 강한 양의 연관성을(Odds ratio=3.18), 지방밀도는 유의한 양의 연관성을(Odds ratio=1.94)을, 나트륨 밀도는 유의한 음의 연관성을 보여주었다(Odds ratio=0.73). 에너지 보정 영양소를 이용한 모델에서는 에너지 보정 단백질이 유의한 양의 연관성을 보여주었다(Odds ratio=1.01). 본 연구는 단면조사를 통하여 혈압과 영양소와의 상관관계 분석과 고혈압군과 정상혈압군의 영양소 섭취의 차이를 분석하여 영양소섭취와 고혈압과의 연관성을 보고자 하였는데 적대적인 영양소 섭취량보다는, 같은 에너지 섭취수준에서 단백질과 지방 섭취가 상대적으로 많은 경우가 양의 연관성을 보였고, 나트륨 섭취가 상대적으로 적은 경우가 음의 연관성을 보였다.
