Orientation control of a polyoxometalate (POM) nanoparticle in its two-dimensional arrangement was attempted by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. For their uniorientation, two carboxyl groups were introduced on one side of the POM particle, and hydrophobic long chains were attached by esterification with the carboxyl groups (C18-POM). The C18-POM layer spread on water surface showed stability against surface pressure up to 60 mN/m. The pattern of the C18-POM isotherm was quite different from stearyl alcohol (C18-OH), while the POM itself did not show any development of surface pressure on water surface. The AFM images of C18-POM LB films showed some microcrystalline structures that were noticed as dot structures by Brewster angle microscopy. The microimages for C18-POM did not completely spread out as a monolayer on the water surface. The XPS spectra indicated the presence of POM structures and stearyl ester bonds formed from about 65% of the total carboxyls. The XRD spectra showed that the unioriented POMs were not positioned with the same lattice distance but rather in a wavy surface state.

To investigate the role of water temperatures and photoperidos as environmental cues regulating reproductive rhythm in banded catfish Pseudobagrus fulvidraco, rearing experiments were conducted using sveral rearing regimes conbined with changes in photoperiods and water temperatures during growing and spawning periods. GSI of $23^{\circ}C$ was significantly higher than $18^{\circ}C$ in female, but 9 light of 18 and $23^{\circ}C$ were no difference in male. In case of estradiol, $18^{\circ}C$ and 15 L was higher than other experintal precinct after 20 days. But, end of the experiment, all of experimental precinct were no difference. Testosteron of female was no difference in $18^{\circ}C$-9 and 15 L after 20 days. Testosteron of male was no difference in $18^{\circ}C$-9 L. In case of 11-KT, control level was $0.39{\pm}0.03$ ng/mL and $18^{\circ}C$-9 L was no significantly difference after 20 days. But, 15 L was higher than other experimental precinct.

The total amount of lipid content in the mullet roe is 20.5%, and iodine value and unsaponifiable matters content are 118 and 38.7%, respectively. The lipid composition of the muscle, roe and liver of the mullet, Mugil cephalus, shows differences. Triglyceride, wax esters, and free fatty acids are mainly contained in the lipids of the muscle, roe and liver, respectively. The mullet roe lipids are mainly composed of 59.1% of wax esters with a trace of sterol esters, 26.9% of polar lipids with pigments, 9.0% of triglyceride plus a trace of free fatty alcohols and fatty acids, and 3.0% of sterol contaminated with a trace of fatty alcohols. The major fatty acids of wax esters are C16 : 0, 47.5%, C18 : 1, 23.0%, C16 : 3, 6.5%, C20 : 5, 4.0%, those of triglyceride are C16 : 1, 25.1%, C18: 1, 16.7%, C16 : 0, 16.3%, C22 : 1, 7.9%, C18 : 0, 5.5%, C22 : 6, 4.4%, and those of polar lipids are C16 : 0, 35.0%, C18 : 1, 24.7%, C16 : 1, 6.1%, C20 : 5, 5.3%, C22 : 6, 4.2%. The major alcohols of wax esters are 51.0% of cetyl alcohol, 18.2% of palmitoleyl alcohol, and 10.7% of oleyl alcohol, and considerable amounts of odd-numbered alcohols such as C15 : 0, C15 : 1, C17 : 0, C17 : 1 and C19 : 1 are also found.

Lipids of Liza carinata roe were extracted and separated into detailed lipid classes by column chromatography. About 57-62% of the total lipids consisted of wax esters in which saturated and unsaturated fatty alcohols combined with fatty acids with up to six double bonds. Between the even-numbered wax ester peaks in gas-liquid chromatography, ones with odd chain lengths such as C31, C33 and C35 were eluted in appreciable amounts. Isomers composed of different fatty acids and alcohols at a given chain length were not resolved on 1.5% OV-17 column. The principal component of wax esters in sample A were C32, C34 and C30 (45.0%, 19.2%, and 12.2%), followed by C36 and C38 length (9.5% and 4.7%), while those in sample B were mainly occupied by C34, C32 and C36 length (36.3%, 31.4% and 14.5%) with minor components C30 and C38 length (5.2%, and 3.4%). The wax esters were not a random combination of constituent fatty acids and alcohols. With increase in boiling temperature the wax esters increased slightly in viscosity over the unboiled, showing a tendency toward randomness, and finally were completely randomized at $360^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes. The enzymes involved in wax ester biosynthesis seemed to have high selectivity for chain length of fatty acids and alcohols.

An experiment was conducted with 80 male rats for 4 weeks to investigate the effect of water soluble extracts(WSE) from different sections of farmed Elk(Cervus elaphus) antler on lipid metabolism and hematology. Antlers were divided into four sections of tip, upper, middle and base. Water soluble extract(35g/60ml) was prepared from each section of antler, and was administered orally to male Sprague- Dawley rats(10ml/kg body weight) once a day. Administration of WSE from upper, middle and base sections of antler decreased(P<0.0027) AST values at 3 weeks of feeding, however AST value was decreased(P< 0.0136) in the WSE of base section compared to that of control at 4 weeks of feeding. Administration of antler WSE for 4 weeks decreased total cholesterol in visceral fat(P<0.0035) and liver(P<0.0003) at 4 weeks of feeding compared to those of control. Feeding antler WSE for 4 weeks increased the compositions of C14:0(P<0.0037), C16:1(P<0.0061), C18:1(P<0.0066), C18:2(P< 0.0069) and C18:3(P<0.0035) in the visceral fat compared with that of control.

The objective was to determine the effects of supplementation of protected conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), CLA-20 comprising 10% each of cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12, on milk production and fatty acid profiles in plasma and milk in lactating dairy cows. Five mid-lactation, multiparous crossbred Holstein Friesian cows with average 402${\pm}$20 kg BW were used in a 5${\times}$5 Latin square design for 21-d periods. Cows were given a total mixed ration (TMR) and supplemented with CLA-20 at 0, 20, 40, 80 and 160 g/d. The results showed that dry matter intake depression occurred in cows supplemented with CLA-20 at 160 g/d. Milk production slightly increased when CLA-20 supplementation was at 20, 40 and 80 g/d. However, 3.5% fat-corrected milk (FCM) was not affected by CLA-20 supplementation. Increased levels of CLA-20 supplementation resulted in a significantly decreased percentage of milk fat. Plasma concentrations of fatty acid were not altered by the amounts of CLA-20 supplementation except for the concentration of trans-10, cis-12 CLA. For all dietary treatments, percentages of fatty acids (C4:0, C6:0, C8:0, C13:0, C14:0 C14:1 C15:0 C15:1 C16:0, C16:1, C18:1n9t, C18:2n6t, C18:2n6c, C20:0, C18:3n6, C18:3n3, C20:1 and C20:3n6) in milk fat were similar. Concentrations of C10:0, C11:0, C12:0 and C18:1n9c were decreased cubically and C18:0 was elevated linearly (p<0.01) according to the increased amounts of CLA-20 supplemented. The linear increase was observed for cis-9, trans-11 CLA (0.62, 1.17, 1.94, 1.87 and 1.82% of total fatty acid), trans-10, cis-12 CLA (0.01, 0.63, 0.67, 0.93 and 0.95% of total fatty acid) and total CLA (0.80, 2.25, 3.16, 3.97 and 3.94% of total fatty acid) in milk fat from 0 to 160 g/d of CLA-20 supplement. In conclusion, concentration of cis-9, trans-11 CLA in milk fat was concomitantly elevated at an increasing rate with the increased amounts of CLA-20. Based on the results in this study, supplementation of CLA-20 at 80 g/d optimally enhanced total CLA in milk fat.

Twenty-four cannulated Small-tailed Han${\times}$Poll Dorset wethers (BW $47.5{\pm}2.1kg$) were used to determine the effects of forage to concentrate ratio (40:60 vs. 70:30), monensin supplementation (0, 15 or 30 ppm, DM basis) and interactions of these two factors on cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (cis-9, trans-11 CLA) and trans-11 octadecenoic acid (trans11-$C_{18:1}$) concentrations in ruminal contents and plasma in sheep. The experiment was designed as a $2{\times}3$ factorial. The diet contained Chinese wild rye grass hay (Aneurolepidium Chinese), cracked corn, soybean meal, NaCl, limestone and trace mineral premix. Dietary crude fat and linoleic acid ($C_{18:2n-6}$) were adjusted with soybean oil to about 7.0% and 24.0 mg/g (DM basis), respectively. High forage diets increased (p<0.001) the concentrations of trans11-$C_{18:1}$ and cis-9, trans-11 CLA in ruminal contents and plasma. Monensin supplementation increased (p<0.001) the concentration of trans11-$C_{18:1}$ in ruminal contents, but had no effect on that of cis-9, trans-11 CLA. Concentrations of trans11-$C_{18:1}$ (p<0.019) and cis-9, trans-11 CLA (p<0.022) in plasma increased with dietary monensin levels. Interactions of forage: concentrate ratio and monensin level tended to affect the concentrations of trans11-$C_{18:1}$ (p<0.091) and $C_{18:2n-6}$ (p<0.083) in ruminal contents. Increasing forage levels increased the concentrations of trans11-$C_{18:1}$ and cis-9, trans-11 CLA in the rumen. Supplementing with monensin increased the ruminal production of trans11-$C_{18:1}$ and concentrations of trans11-$C_{18:1}$ and cis-9, trans-11 CLA in plasma.

To determine the optimum water temperature (a temperature which minimizes metabolic activities and stress in fish) for long distance transportation of red-spotted grouper (Epinephelus akaara), by evaluating the behavior, survival and physiological and hematological responses to variable water temperature conditions (9, 12, 15, 18 and $21^{\circ}C$) for 48 hours. Fish exposed to $9^{\circ}C$ died at 48 hours exposure, but those exposed to 12, 15, 18 and $21^{\circ}C$ treatment groups all survived. Fish in the 15, 18 and $21^{\circ}C$ exposure groups exhibited normal swimming, while those exposed to $12^{\circ}C$ were observed to be stationary at the bottom of the tank. The plasma cortisol and glucose concentration were higher in fish exposed to $12^{\circ}C$ than at other temperature conditions. The fish in the 12 and $15^{\circ}C$ groups had significantly higher hematocrit (Ht) and hemoglobin (Hb) than those in the 18 and $21^{\circ}C$ groups (P<0.05). Levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), $NH_3$ and osmolality showed a pattern similar to the levels of plasma cortisol, while alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total protein did not significantly vary among the experimental groups. These results indicate that the optimum water temperature for long distance transportation of the red-spotted grouper is $15^{\circ}C$.

To investigate the underlying mechanisms of C18 fatty acids (stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid) on mast cells, we measured the effect of C18 fatty acids on intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization and histamine release in RBL-2H3 mast cells. Stearic acid rapidly increased initial peak of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization, whereas linoleic acid and ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid gradually increased this mobilization. In the absence of extracellular $Ca^{2+}$, stearic acid ($100{\mu}M$) did not cause any increase of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization. Both linoleic acid and ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid increased intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization, but the increase was smaller than that in the presence of extracellular $Ca^{2+}$. These results suggest that C18 fatty acid-induced intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization is mainly dependent on extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ influx. Verapamil dose-dependently inhibited stearic acid-induced intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization, but did not affect both linoleic acid- and ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid-induced intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization. These data suggest that the underlying mechanism of stearic acid, linoleic acid and ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid on intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization may differ. Linoleic acid and ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid significantly increased histamine release. Linoleic acid (C18:2: ${\omega}$-6)-induced intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization and histamine release were more prominent than ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid (C18:3: ${\omega}$-3). These data support the view that the intake of more ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid than linoleic acid is useful in preventing inflammation.

This study was designed to elucidate the lipid and its fatty acid composition in various tissues of cat fish, Parasilurus asotus. The free lipid contents in meat, skin and viscera were 5.62%, 26.34% and 19.27%, whereas the bound lipid contents in those tissues were 2.34%, 2.30% and 19.27%, respectively. The neutral lipid contents in free lipid were 5 times higher than those in bound lipid, while the phospholipid contents in bound lipid were 4 times higher than those in free lipid. The neutral lipid was mainly composed of triglyceride (79.84%-99.86%) in free lipid, and esterified sterol & hydrocarbon (55.12-64.33%) in bound lipid. The phospholipid was mainly composed of phosphatidyl choline (52.38-69.98%) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (24.09-40.48%) in free lipid, and phosphatidyl choline (53.03-58.54%) and phosphatidyl ethamolamine (13.80-19.23%) in bound lipid. The major fatty acids of polar lipid in free and bound lipids were C16:0 (28.37%, 21.99%), C18:1 (12.01%, 11.52%), C18:2 (17.93%, 14.12%) and C22:6 (17.22%, 20.63%), and those of nonpolar lipid in free and bound lipids were C16:0 (14.81%, 18.94%), C18: 1 (25.93%, 10.89%) and C22:6 (9.95%,23.44%), respectively. The total essential fatty acid (TEFA) content in skin was slightly higher than that in meat. In both polar and nonpolar lipids in meat ${\omega}3-HUFA$ contents of polar lipid were 1.5-2.0 times higher than nonpolar lipid and also ${\omega}3-HUFA$ content of bound lipid was slightly higher than that of free lipid. There were significant differences in the lipid classification and its fatty acid composition between free and bound lipids and/or in various tissues.
