It has been believed that antioxidant enzymes such as CuZn- and Mn-superoxide dismutase and catalase protect the tissue from damage resulting from the oxygen derived free radicals($O_2\;^-$, $H_2O_2$ and OH ). The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between activity of antioxidant enzymes including CuZn- and Mn- superoxide dismutase and catalase and inflammatory periodontal disease and periodontal parameters. For this study, the patients were classified into normal, gingivitis, adult periodontitis and rapidly progressive periodontitis, and then their papillary bleeding index(PBI) and probing depth were checked. Gingival tissues were surgically obtained from the patients during periodontal surgery, extraction, and clinical crown lengthening procedure. The activity of CuZn- and Mn- superoxide dismutase and catalase in the gingival tissues was measured by using UV-spectrophotometer by the same methods as Crapo et al. And Aebi did, respectively. The results were as follows : 1. CuZn- and Mn- and total-superoxide dismutase activity were significantly low in rapidly progressive periodontitis group in comparison to normal group (P<0.05). 2. In comparison of the antioxidant enzyme activity according to papillary bleeding index group(PBI), Mn-superoxide dismutase activity only was significantly lower in PBI 2, 3, and 4 groups than PBI 0 group(P<0.05). 3. Superoxide dismutase activity failed to show any significant difference according to probing depth. But significant]y high catalase activity was shown in deep pocket group (${\ge}7mm$)(P<0.05). In conclusion, these results suggest that the activity of Mn-superoxide dismutase among the antioxidant enzymes may reflect the inflammatory status of gingival tissue and that the decreased activity of superoxide dismutase may be one of responsibe factors for progression of rapidly progressive periodontitis.

본 연구에서는 담배식물의 생장과 glutathione reductase와 catalase의 활성에 미치는 p-CA, BA 및 SA의 영향을 연구하였다. 담배식물의 생장에 미치는 p-CA, BA 및 SA의 영향을 알아보기 위하여, $10^{-5}$ mM p-CA, BA 및 SA가 각각 함유된 MS배지에서 배양한 후 20일부터 50일까지 10일 간격으로 담배의 생장을 비교하였다. 3가지 물질 모두에 의해 50일에서 생장이 가장 잘 되였다. Glutathione reductase의 활성에 미치는 효과를 측정한 결과, BA의 활성은 대조구보다 감소하였으며, p-CA 역시 활성이 감소하였고, SA의 활성은 증가하였다. 또한 모두 40일에서 가장 활성이 높았다. Catalase의 활성에 미치는 효과를 측정한 결과, SA의 활성은 증가하였으며, BA와 p-CA의 활성은 감소하였다. 또한 모든 실험구에서 40일에 활성이 가장 양호하였다. 결론적으로 p-CA와 BA는 담배식물의 생장을 촉진시켰으며, 50일에서 생장이 가장 양호하였으나 항산화 효소의 활성을 억제하였다. SA는 담배식물의 생장을 억제시켰으나 항산화 효소의 활성은 촉진시켰으며, 40일에서 가장 활성이 양호하였다.

In an attempt to define the effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on the lipid peroxidation and oxygen free radical reactions in rats exposed to carbon monoxide, we studied malondialdehyde (MDA) level and activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase in the kidney of the rats exposed to carbon monoxide. Male Sprague-Dawley albino rats weighing 240 to 260 gm were used. Experimental groups consist of Control group (=breathing with air), HBO group (=exposed to hyperbaric oxygen 〔HBO, 3ATA, 100%〕 after air breath), CO group (=exposed to CO〔3,970 ppm〕after air breath), CO-Air group (=exposed to CO after air breath followed by air breath) and CO-HBO group (=exposed to CO after air breath followed HBO treatment). The CO group showed significantly higher MDA level, catalase activity and SOD activity as compared to that of control group. The CO-HBO group showed significantly lower MDA level as compared to that of CO group, and did not show significantly lower catalase activity and SOD activity as compared to that of CO group. These results suggest that the excessive oxygen free radicals is an important determinant in pathogenesis of CO-induced nephrotoxicity and HBO inhibits the lipid peroxidation caused by excessive oxygen free radicals in the kidney of the rats exposed to carbon monoxide.

The activities of myocardial antioxidant enzymes are known to increase in the hearts preconditioned with the brief episodes of ischemia. This study was undertaken to elucidate the possible involvement of adenosine in the stimulation of myocardial catalase induced by the brief regional ischemia in rabbit hearts. Coronary artery descending the middle anterior wall of left ventricle was occluded for 15 min, followed by 1 hr of reperfusion. Upon reperfusion after the brief ischemia, the activity of catalase increased significantly in both ischemic and non-ischemic parts of myocardium. Pretreatment of the heart with theophylline, a non-specific adenosine receptor blocker, completely abolished the increase of catalase activity in both the ischemic and non-ischemic regions of myocardium. On the other hand, the administration of exogenous adenosine instead of the ischemia failed to increase the catalase activity in in vivo hearts. Moreover, adenosine infusion did not affect the catalase activity in the isolated, perfused hearts either. These results suggest that the endogenous adenosine released from the ischemic myocardium is involved in the activation of catalase induced by brief ischemia, but that adenosine may not be a final direct activator of cellular catalase in the myocardium.

비변성 폴리아크릴 아미드 겔에서 Streptomyces coelicolor 의 catalase 활성 염색을 실시하여 여러개의 catalase 활성 띠를 관찰하였으며, 그 유형이 성장기에 따라 달라짐을 알았다. 포자와 정체 성장기에는 정체 성장기에만 특이적인Cat1(760kD) 이 관찰되었고, Cat2(300kD) 를 제외한 모든 활성 띠들이 나타났다. 중기 대수 성장기에는 Cat2 와 Cat 3-2, Cat3-2(140kD) 등 2개의 catalase 띠가 나타나며, 후기 대수 성장기에는 Cat3-1(170 kD), Cat3-2, Cat3-3(130kD). Cat4(70kD)등의 활성 띠가 나타났다. NTG 처리로 돌연변이화된 S. coelicolor 의 포자를 Bennet 평판 배지네서 배양한 후 과산화수소 거품 test 를 실시하여, 약 5000 여개의 콜로니 중 거품형성 속도나 양이 감소한 콜로니를 12개 얻었다. 야생형에 견주어 대부분 catalase 활성이 감소하였으며, 대수 성장기와 정체 성장기에서 모두 감소하였다. 거품형헝을 하지 않는 모든 돌연변이에서 Cat3-2 띠의 강도라 현저히 약해저 있음으로 보아 Cat3-2가 주된 catalase 인 것으로 추정된다. 대수 성장기에서 수확한 S. coelicolor 세포 추출액에서 Sepharose CL-4B, DEAE Sepharose CL-6B, Phenyl Sepharose CL-4B, Hydroxylapatite 크로마토그래피등 4단계의 크로마토그래피를 수행하여 Cat3-2 를 정제하였다. 비변성 폴리아크릴마드 겔 전기 영동을 수행한 결과 Cat3-2 는 67 kD 의 동일한 subunit 을 2개 가지고 있는 효소로 추정된다.

A bifunctional catalase-peroxidase, designated catalase-2, of a UV resistant Deinococcus radiophilus was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by both chromatographic and electrophoretic methods. Its molecular weight was 310 kDa and composed of a tetramer of 80 kDa subunits. The catalase-2 exerted its optimal activity at $30^{\circ}C$ and around pH 9. Its $K_m$ value for $H_{2}0_{2} $ was about 10 mM. It showed the typical ferric heme spectrum with maximum absorption at 403 nm which shifted to 419 nm in the presence of cyanide. The ratio of A40i' A2S0 was 0.48. Fifty percent inhibition of the enzyme activity was observed at $4.6{\times}10^{-6}$, $7.7{\times}10^{-6}$, and $3.0{\times}10^{-6}$ M of NaCN, $NaN_3$, and $NH_{2}OH$, respectively. The enzyme was thermostable and not sensitive to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole. Treatment of the enzyme with ethanol-chloroform caused a partial loss (30%) of its activity. The catalase-2 was distinct from the Deinococcal bifunctional catalase-3 in a number of properties, particularly in its molecular structure and substrate affinity.

In order to examine the antioxidant activities of SJDBT(Sibjeondaebo-tang), the study was done through measurement of parameters such as LPO(lipidperoxidation), GSH(glutathione), SOD(superoxidation dismutase), catalase, GOT, GPT, ALP. The results were obtained as follows: For the weight changes, the kidney and testis of group given SJDBT showed decrease in the weight compared to the control group, and the left cerebrum, right cerebrum, cerebellum and liver of group given SJDBT showed increase. But the changes were not significant. The left cerebrum and right cerebrum of group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO compared to the control group, and in the activity of SOD and catalase showed significant increase. The cerebellum of group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO and GSH compared to the control group, and in the activity of SOD and catalase showed significant increase. For the changes of LPO, GSH in the liver, the group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO and GSH compared to the control group, and in the activity of catalase showed significant increase. For the changes of LPO in the kidney, the group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO compared to the control group. For the changes of LPO, GSH and the activity of SOD, catalase in the testis, the group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO and GSH compared to the control group, and in the activity of SOD and catalase showed significant increase. From above results, the antioxidant action of SJDBT is effective. And it is expected to be necessary to the study of the mechanism in the antioxidant of SJDBT.

Bovine liver catalase was exposed to cysteine, as a natural inactivator metabolize, causing autoxidation-generating $H_2O_2$ continuously. The catalase species concentrations and activity measurement were done by spectrophotometry in phosphate buffer 10mM, pH 6.5, and 27 $^{\circ}C$. The activity of catalase decreased continuously due to the conversion of active ferricatalase species, E-Fe (III), to an inactive enzyme species, E-Fe (IV). This conversion is related to the slow production of $H_2O_2generated$ by autoxidation of cysteine. The free SH-group of cysteine has an essential role in production of $H_2O_2$ and hence inactivation of catalase. NADPH can protect catalase against inactivation due to the conversion of inactive form of E-Fe (IV) to ferricatalase species, E-Fe (III).

It has been believed that the increased release of free oxygen radicals and their tissue damaging potency might be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase can protect the tissue damage from the free oxygen radicals($O_2^-,H_2O_2$, and $OH^-$). In order to investigate the SOD- and catalase - activity in the blood plasma and red blood cells(RBCs) of the patients with perodontitis, 19 male periodontitis patients($25{\sim}35$ years old) who had good general health, more than 10 teeth with severely inflamed gingiva, attachment loss more than 6mm and bone loss were selected as periodontitis group, and 13 male volunteers($22{\sim}29$ years old) with good general and periodontal health were selected as normal group. After blood plasma and RBC were separated from peripheral blood of 2ml collected from antecubital vein of each subject, SOD- activity in blood plasma and RBCs was measured by the same method that Paoletti et al. did, and catalase - activity in RBC was measured by the same method that Beers et al, did. The difference of SOD- and catalase - activity between the normal and the periodontitis groups was statistically analyzed by Student t-test with SPSS/PC program.The results were as follows : 1. SOD activity in blood plasma was significantly lower in the periodontitis group($1.986{\pm}0.893$) than in the normal group($3.324{\pm}1.044$)(p<0.05). 2. There was no statistical significance in the difference of SOD- activity in RBCs between the periodontitis group($7.753{\pm}3.206$) and the normal group($8.116{\pm}1.192$)(p$242.8{\pm}45.6$) than in the normal group($280.2{\pm}32.6$)(p
