본 연구는 유청 단백질과 칼슘이 킬레이트된 새로운 유기태 칼슘을 탄산칼슘 및 구연산칼슘과 비교하여 새로운 칼슘의 급원으로서 그 효능을 평가하고자 수행되었다. 실험은 4주령 된 수컷 흰쥐(Sprague-Dawley) 36마리를 6개의 실험군(n=6/group)으로 설정하고, 칼슘의 섭취 수준에 따라 정상칼슘(0.5%) 및 고칼슘 수준(1.5%)으로 나누고, 칼슘의 급원을 탄산칼슘, 구연산 칼슘, 유기태 칼슘으로 하여 6주간 실험식이를 급여 후 희생시켰다. 실험동물의 성장, 혈청의 칼슘과 인의 농도, ALP 활성, 간기능 지표(GOT, GPT, T-bilirubin)와 신기능 지표(creatinine, uric acid), 간과 신장의 칼슘 및 인의 함량, 대퇴골의 무게, 길이, 파단력, 회분량, 칼슘 및 인의 함량, 칼슘의 체내 이용성 등을 측정하였다. 그 결과 유기태 칼슘의 수준별 섭취는 대조군과 비교하여 체중 증가와 식이섭취량에서 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 식이효율은 고칼슘 수준에서 유기태 칼슘군이 다른 군에 비해 좋은 결과를 나타냈다. 유기태 칼슘군의 혈청 칼슘 및 인의 농도는 대조군과 마찬가지로 성장기 정상 범위에 속하였으며, 혈청 ALP의 활성은 유기태 칼슘군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하여(p<0.05) 성장기 흰쥐의 골격 대사에 긍정적인 영향을 준 것으로 보였다. 혈액의 간기능 지표인 GOT와 GPT의 활성은 정상 및 고칼슘 수준에서 유기태 칼슘군이 탄산칼슘군보다 감소되었고, T-bilirubin의 농도는 유기태 고칼슘군에서 유의적으로 낮아졌다(p<0.05). 신기능 지표인 creatinine과 uric acid의 농도는 모두 정상 범위 내에 있었다. 간과 신장의 칼슘 함량은 정상 및 고칼슘 수준에서 유기태 칼슘군이 탄산칼슘군보다 낮아서 조직 내 칼슘의 침착정도가 낮았다. 대퇴골의 무게는 정상 칼슘 수준에서 각 군별 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 고칼슘수준에서 유기태 칼슘군이 구연산 칼슘군에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 체중 당 대퇴골의 무게, 길이 및 파단력은 칼슘의 급원에 따라 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 하지만 유기태 칼슘군은 대조군 보다 칼슘의 흡수율이 증가하여 체내 이용률이 높았다. 본 연구에 사용한 유기태 칼슘은 성장, 혈액 지표에 있어서 탄산칼슘과 대등한 효과를 보였으며, ALP 활성 및 칼슘의 생체 이용률 측면에서 더 우수한 결과를 나타냈다. 따라서 유기태 칼슘은 새로운 칼슘 보충제로서의 그 이용 가능성이 매우 클 것으로 사료된다.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of red-yeast-rice on bone metabolism in overiectomized (OVX) rats. Forty female Sprague-Dawley rats (body weight 210 $\pm$ 5 g, 9 weeks old age) were divided into two groups. One group were OVX, and the other group received sham operation (SHAM), and received either control diet (20％ casein) or a red-yeast-rice power supplemented diet (0.1％) for 9 weeks. And then each rat group was further divided into control diet (casein 20％) and red-yeast-rice powder supplemented (0.1％) diet group. All rats were fed on experimental diet and deionized water ad libitum for 9 weeks. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) were measured using PIXImus (GE Lunar Co, Wisconsin, USA) in spine and femur on 5, 9 weeks after feeding. The serum and urine concentrations of Ca and P were determined. Bone formation was measured by serum osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentrations. And bone resorption rate was measured by deoxypyridinoline (DPD) crosslinks immunoassay and corrected for creatinine. Serum osteocalcin, growth hormone, IGF-l and calcitonin were analyzed using radioimmunoassay kits. Urinary Ca and P excretion were not significantly different among the groups. Within the OVX group, the red-yeast-rice group had a lower crosslinks value than the casein group. Therefore the red-yeast-rice supplemented groups had a lower bone resorption ratio than the casein group in the ovariectomized rats. And, the red-yeast-rice group had significantly higher IGF-l hormone than casein group in ovariectomized rats. The red-yeast-rice group had higher spine bone mineral content than those of control group within the OVX groups. This study was an important first step in establishing that the observed beneficial effects of red-yeast-rice on bone, and this study also established the need for a study on the long-term effect of this supplement in a human.

To investigate the effects of isoflavone supplementation on both bone mineral density and hormone variation in premenopausal women who had decreased bone mass, the 24 subjects were divided into two groups: one was the underweight group, consisting of 13 subjects, and the other was the normal weight group consisting of 11 subjects. For each group, we investigated the effects of isoflavone supplementation of 90 mg/day on both bone mineral density and hormone variation during 3 menstrual cycles. Anthropometric measurements, dietary recall, and analyses of blood and urine were assessed from baseline to post-treatment. The results were as follows: The average age of the underweight group was 21.8 years old and that of the normal weight group was 23.2 years old. The comparative results for the two groups at baseline were as follows: Onset of menarche, menstrual cycle, and menstrual length were not significantly different between the groups. Serum protein, total, HDL-, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, Ca, P, Mg, Cu, and Zn level were not significantly different between the groups. Serum estradiol, SHBG, LH, and FSH level were also not significantly different between the groups. Lumbar spine BMD by T scores of the underweight group was significantly lower than that of the normal weight group. Serum osteocalcin, urinary DPD, and urinary pH were not significantly different between the groups. The comparative results for the two groups at post-treatment were as follows: From baseline to post-treatment, the intake of energy, nutrients and isoflavone in food did not significantly change in either group. Serum protein, total cholesterol, HDL-, LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride levels did not significantly change in either group. Serum Ca, Cu, and Zn levels were significantly lower in both groups and serum Mg level significantly decreased only in the underweight group. Serum estradiol levels were significantly lower in both groups, but serum SHBG, LH, and FSH levels did not significantly change in either group. Lumbar spine BMD by T score of the underweight group significantly increased to 15%, but that of the normal weight group did not significantly change. Serum osteocalcin of the underweight group significantly increased to 28%, while that of the normal weight group significantly increased to 40%. Urinary DPD of the normal weight group significantly increased to 12%. The results show that the BMD of the underweight group was lower than that of the normal weight group. Therefore, the underweight group had a disadvantage in obtaining maximum bone mineral density. The results also show that isoflavone supplementation during 3 menstrual cycles was effective in increasing the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and affected bone metabolism markers in premenopausal underweight women. Therefore, it can be concluded that sufficient intake of isoflavone could be helpful in preventing decreases in bone mass among premenopausal women, especially underweight women.

본 연구는 폐경 후 녹차잎 함유 건강기능성 제품으로 녹차가루(15%)와 녹차잎 추출물(35%), 두충추출물(15%), 감잎추출물(15%), 검정콩 가루(18%) 및 찹쌀 풀과 꿀(2%) 등을 배합하여 조제된 녹차가공품(이하 GTP)이 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취시킨 난소절제 흰쥐의 골 대사에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 실험동물은 10주령의 Sprague-Dewley 암컷 흰쥐(평균 체중 $279{\pm}2g$)로 완전임의배치로 한 군당 10마리씩 4군으로 나누어 사육하였으며 양쪽 난소를 절제(ovariectomy: OVX)하였다. Sham 대조군은 실험군과 동일한 스트레스를 주기 위해 난소를 절제하지 않고 개복수술만 실시한 후 2주간 배합사료를 급여한 후 Sham-대조군(Sham-C)과 OVX-대조군(OVX-C)은 AIN' 76에 기초해서 제조한 콜레스테롤 첨가 식이를, OVX 실험군은 콜레스테롤 첨가 식이에 GTP 5%(OVX-G5)와 20%(OVX-G20)를 함유한 실험 식이를 조제하여 6주간 급여하였다. 식이 조제 시 Ca 함량은 총 식이의 0.4% 수준으로 조정하였으며 Sham-C, OVX-C와 OVX-G5는 $CaCO_3$를 첨가하여 조정하였고 OVX-G20은 Ca 함량이 0.4%였으므로 별도의 $CaCO_3$를 첨가하지 않았다. OVX군에서의 식이효율은 OVX-G5가 유의적으로 낮았으며 Sham-C과 유사한 수준을 보였다. 대퇴골의 골밀도는 각 군 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 Sham-C> OVX-G5와 OVX-G20> OVX-대조군의 순으로 나타났다. 골격 형성의 생화학적 지표인 alkaline phosphatase 활성은 OVX군 간에 유의적인 차이는 나타내지 않았으나 GTP를 첨가한 식이를 섭취한 군에서는 다소 감소되는 경향을 보였다. Estradiol의 농도는 각 군 간의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나 Sham-C> OVX-G20> OVX-G5> OVX-C의 순으로 나타나 GTP 20%를 첨가한 군과 Sham-C가 유사한 수준을 보였다. Osteocalcin 농도는 OVX-C에 비해 GTP를 첨가한 군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으며 GTP의 첨가량이 많을수록 혈청 osteocalcin 수준이 감소하였고 OVX-G20에서는 Sham-C와 유사한 수준으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 ALP 활성이 증가될수록 osteocalcin의 농도도 증가되는 경향을 보였다. DPD crosslink value는 OVX-G20이 OVX-C 에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 수준이었다. 폐경기에 ALP 활성과 osteocalcin의 농도가 높은 것은 골 교체율이 빠른 것을 나타내므로 난소절제 흰쥐에서 GTP가 골 교체율을 감소시켜 골흡수를 억제함으로써 골 보호 효과를 나타내는 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 GTP 5%와 20%의 첨가량에 따른 차이는 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과들로 미루어 볼 때 난소절제 흰쥐모델의 골 대사 지표에 다소 유리하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 녹차가공품이 골다공증 예방을 위한 기능성식품으 로서의 가능성을 보여주었으며, 골다공증 예방을 위한 녹차 가공품의 효과적인 섭취량은 계속적으로 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The influence of estradiol on the radioactive calcium metabolism in blood, bone and young of lactating rats has been studied. Estrogen, in an amount estimated to equal that secreted in late pregnancy, was injected daily into lactating rats for 4 days along with $^{45}Ca$. On the 5th day, radioactivity of blood serum, bone, and young was compared to a similar group of lactating rats not treated with estrogen. Average gain in weight of the litters of the 2 groups was similar. However, radioactivity in serum and bones of treated with estradiol was significantly higher than in the controls. The radioactivity in litters of the 2 groups was similar. Estrogen plays a role in the retention of calcium in the animal body.

A study was conducted to compare urinary Ca excretion and factors influencing urinary Ca excretion in 30 young and 62 middle-aged Korean women. Mean daily intake levels of total protein and P were significantly higher in middle-aged women but Ca and animal protein intake levels of the two groups were similar. The average percentage of daily Ca intake from milk and milk products in young women was 45% while in middle-aged women it was about 24% The frequency of milk consumption was inversely correlated with blood pressures of the subjects. Mean 24-hour urinary calcium excretion in young and middle-aged women were 163.7mg and 174.9mg respectively. The difference was not significant. Menopause of the mid-dle-aged women did not affect urinary calcium levels. However the proportion of subjects with more than 250mg of Ca in 24-hour urine tended to be higher in middle-aged group Factors significnatly correlated with urinary Ca excretion of subjects were systolic and diastolic The study verifies the need for more systematic studies on Ca requirements and the interrelation-ship among Ca and na metabolism blood pressures and bone loss in the middle-aged Korean.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of dietary boron supplementation and calcium levels on calcium and bone metabolism in ovariectomized female rats. The experimental group classified ovariectomized group(O) and sham operation group (S). The two groups were then each randomly divided into flour sub-groups and fed experimental diets consisting in two levels of calcium and at each level of calcium, there were boron supplemented group and non-supplemented group. Calcium levels were either 0.2%(low calcium group: L) or 1.2%(high calcium group: H). The level of boron in the diet for the boron supplemented groups(B) was 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/g diet. The experimental period was six weeks. The average food intake were not statistically significantly different in all of eight groups. The increase in weights of rats was observed only in ovariectonized and sham control rats(low ca without boron supplemented). The rest of the groups lost weight significantly during the experimental period ranging from 26.94g to 44.34g. Significant higher calcium intakes were observed in high calcium groups, regardless of boron supplementation during experimental period. Urinary calcium excretion was not affected either by ovariectomy or diets on the first, third and sixth week of feeding. Apparent calcium absorption rates were not different among the groups on first week, whereas noticeable increase was observed in low calcium groups at third and sixth weeks. Femur wet and dry weight, and calcium contents of femur were higher in low calcium groups. whereas femur bone density was higher low calcium with boron supplementation groups than low calcium groups. Scapular density did not show any significant differences among all groups. Despite there were no differences in the activities of alkaline phosphatase by boron supplementation, boron supplemetation appeared to cause higher femur density. There results suggest that in both of sham-operated and ovariectomized rats low calcium did not influence greatly bone status of rats and boron increased bone density.

Purpose: This review aims at introducing 3 modeling approaches classified into 3 categories based on the purpose (estimation or prediction), structure (linear or non-linear) and phase (steady-state or dynamic-state); 1) statistical approaches, 2) kinetic modeling and 3) mechanistic modeling. We hope that this review can be a useful guide in the model-based approach of calcium metabolism as well as illustrates an application of engineering tools in studying biosystems. Background: The meaning of biosystems has been expanded, including agricultural/food system as well as biological systems like genes, cells and metabolisms. This expansion has required a useful tool for assessing the biosystems and modeling has arisen as a method that satisfies the current inquiry. To suit for the flow of the era, examining the system which is a little bit far from the traditional biosystems may be interesting issue, which can enlarge our insights and provide new ideas for prospective biosystem-researches. Herein, calcium metabolic models reviewed as an example of application of modeling approaches into the biosystems. Review: Calcium is an essential nutrient widely involved in animal and human metabolism including bone mineralization and signaling pathways. For this reason, the calcium metabolic system has been studied in various research fields of academia and industries. To study calcium metabolism, model-based system analyses have been utilized according to the purpose, subject characteristics, metabolic sites of interest, and experimental design. Either individual metabolic pathways or a whole homeostasis has been modeled in a number of studies.

The purpose of this study was to determine the urinary Ca, P, Mg, Zn, Cu, and Mn levels and bone mineral density (BMD) in sixty-two postmenopausal women. The study was conducted through anthropometric checkup, 24-hour recall, 24-hour urine and bone mineral density using DEXA. Average age, height, weight and body fat of the subjects were respectively 65.39 years, 150.19 cm, 58.03 kg and 37.22%. The average spine and femoral neck BMD of subjects were -2.19, -3.13. The mean intakes of Ca, P and Mg were 524.7 mg, 993.10 mg, and 254.6 mg and those of Zn, Cu and Mn were 8.6 mg, 1.5 mg, and 3.5 mg. The average 24-hour urinary excretion of Ca (UCa), P (UP) and Mg (UMg) were 161.07 mg, 673.68 mg, and 99.87 mg. The average 24-hour urinary excretion of Zn (UZn), Cu (UCu) and Mn (UMn) were 366.50 ${\mu}g$, 22.57 ${\mu}g$, and 1.55 ${\mu}g$. Ca intake showed significantly positive correlations with urinary UCa (p < 0.05), UMg (p < 0.01) and spine BMD (p < 0.05). P intake showed significantly positive correlations with UCa (p < 0.05), UMg (p < 0.05) and UZn (p < 0.05). Mg intake showed significantly positive correlations with UZn (p < 0.05) and Mn intake showed significantly positive correlations with UCa (p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis indicates that Ca intake and UMg is the most important factor to increase spine BMD. On the other hand, UCa is the most important factor to decrease spine BMD. Higher femoral neck BMD was related to UP, while lower femoral neck BMD was related to UCa. In conclusion, Dietary intake of Ca showed positive effect of spine BMD, while excessive P intake showed negative effect on BMD due to increases in UCa, UMg and UZn. Further studies are required to investigate the relationship between bone metabolism and mineral excretion.

[Purpose] Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) administration reportedly recovers osteoporosis, a bone disorder associated with bone deficiency in postmenopausal women. However, the physiological mechanism of DHEA in osteoporosis remains elusive, especially in terms of intestinal calcium absorption. Therefore, we investigated the effect of DHEA administration on calcium absorption in ovariectomized (OVX) female rats using an estrogen receptor antagonist. [Methods] Female Sprague-Dawley rats (n=23, 6 weeks old) were randomized into three groups: OVX control group (OC, n=7), OVX with DHEA treatment group (OD, n=8), and OVX with DHEA inhibitor group (ODI, n=8) for 8 weeks. [Results] Intestinal calcium accumulation, as well as the rate of absorption, demonstrated no significant differences during the experimental period among investigated groups. The bone mineral density (BMD) of the tibia at the proximal metaphysis was higher in the OD group than that in the OC group (p<0.05); however, BMD of the ODI group showed no significant difference from investigated groups. Furthermore, the BMD of the tibia at the diaphysis did not significantly differ among these groups. [Conclusion] We revealed that DHEA administration does not involve intestinal Ca absorption, although this treatment improves BMD levels in OVX rats. These observations indicate that the effect of DHEA on the bone in postmenopausal women is solely due to its influence on bone metabolism and not intestinal calcium absorption.
