Bacillus subtilis SFF34 degrading cholesterol was applied to reduce residual cholesterol content in fermented flatfish. When the bacterial cells were inoculated as a start culture, a maximal level (1.7 U/g) of cholesterol oxidase was obtained after 10 days, which was two times higher than that (0.8 U/g) without inoculation. Residual cholesterol contents with and without inoculation of the cells were 0.5 mg/g and 0.8 mg/g after 12 days of fermentation, respectively. Cholesterol derivatives including cholesterol- 5${\alpha},\;6{\alpha}$-epoxide, 4-cholesten-3-one and 7${\beta}$-hydroxycholesterol were detected in raw flatfish as well as fermented flatfish. Campesterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol were detected only after fermentation. However, no significant differences in their contents were observed regardless of inoculation.

To investigate the effect of pine needle extract (PNE) on membrane fluidirt and neurotransmiter-related enzymes in brain of Spragu-Dawley(SD), male SD rats were fed basic diets (control group), and experimantal diets (PNE group)with 0.5% and 0.1% fo PNE for 6 weeks. pine (pinus tabulaeformis C$_{ARR}$ is one of the popular plant drugs which has used as a medicine in Asia. Cholesterol levels in brain mitochondria of 0.5%-PNE and 0.1%-PNDE groups were significantly decreased in 15% and 25%, respectively, compared with control group, but cholesterol levels in brain microsomes of these PNE groups howed almost no change compared with control group. Lipofuscin accumulations in brain membranes of 0.5%-PNE and 0.1%-PNE groups were sgnificantly inhibited in 18% and 21%, respectively, compared with control group. Brain memberance fluidity was also activated in 50% and 100% by the administration of 0.5%-PNE and 0.1%-PNE. higher acetylcholinesterase(15% and25%) and lower monoamine oxidase B (25% and 15%0 activities were effectively modulated by the administration of 0.5%-PNE and 0.1%-PNDE. These results suggest that more beneficial effects such as inhibition of cholesterol and lipofuscin, increase of membrane fluidity, higher acetylcholinesterase and lower monoamone oxidase activities in brain membranes of SD rats may be effectively modulated by administration of pine needle extract (PNE).

Plasma fibrinogen is risk factor of vascular disease including stroke, ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Many studies have confirmed that high plasma fibrinogen levels are related with age, obesity, cholesterol, alcohol consumption, and genotype. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of fibrinogen genotype and other characteristics on the plasma fibrinogen levels in the elderly Koreans. For this study the blood samples were collected from 178 healthy elderly Koreans (102 males and 76 females, $55{\sim}80$ year olds). The blood samples were analyzed by smoking status, cholesterol levels, genotype, age, exercise, drinking, and gender. The plasma fibrinogen was assayed by clotting method, cholesterol being assayed by cholesterol oxidase method. The $\beta$-fibrinogen genotype was detected by PCR of relevant region and digestion with Alu I. The alleres with the restriction site and the non cleavable alleres were designated $A_1$ and $A_2$. In conclusion, genotype $A_1A_2$ and exercise are increased and associated with plasma fibrinogen levels. But, there were no significant differences by smoking, gender, age, drinking and cholesterol.

This study was carried out to investigate the anti-oxidant effect of Wasabia japonica(WJ). The anti-oxidant activities of various extracts from WJ were investigated. The water and ethanol extracts of WJ leaf were found to cause significant free radical scavenging effects on DPPH and nitric oxide(NO). Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned to one normal diet and three high cholesterol diet groups which contained 1%(w/w) cholesterol. After 4weeks cholesterol diet, the groups of high cholesterol diet were classified to control(normal diet only), WJR5(normal diet and 5% WJ root) and WJL5(normal diet and 5% WJ leaf). Liver xanthine oxidase(XO) activity in the rats of high cholesterol diet was decreased up to the levels of normal diet group according to WJ diet. The results indicated that WJ possesses antioxidant effects through free radical scavenging effects on DPPH, NO and the decreasing of XO activity. In view of these results, WJ is expected to be an effective material for the anti-oxidant.

발효 청미래덩굴잎의 해독효과를 조사하기 위하여 정상식이군(NC), 기본식이를 급여한 후 $CCl_4$ 처리군(CB), 비발효 청미래덩굴잎 ethylacetate 추출 분획물을 기본 식이에 0.5% 혼합한 식이로 4주간 사육하였다. $CCl_4$를 처리한 군(NS), Aspergillus oryzae로 발효시킨 청미래덩굴잎 ethylacetate 추출 분획물을 기본 식이에 0.5% 혼합한 식이로 4주간 사육한 후, $CCl_4$를 처리한 군(FS)의 4개군(5마리/군)으로 구분하여 체중, 식이섭취량, 식이효율, ALT 및 AST 활성, GSH 및 LPO 함량, 혈청 지질 함량, XO 및 AO 활성도를 조사하였다. $CCl_4$를 처리한 군(CB, NS, FS)의 체중증가량은 NC군에 비하여 현저하게 감소하였으나, NS군과 FS군에서는 그 감소율이 낮았으며, FS군에서 더욱 낮았다. 이와 반대로 간의 중량은 $CCl_4$ 처리군들에서 높았으나, FS군에 NS군에 비하여 낮았다. ALT 및 AST 활성은 CB군이 NC군에 비하여 32.34~3.80배가 높았으며, NS군 및 FS군은 CB군에 비하여 각각 16.34~37.35% 및 34.97~45.66%가 낮았다. 혈청 중성 지질의 함량은 NC군에 비하여 CB군이 81.71%가 높았으며, NS군과 FS군은 CB군에 비하여 각각 15.61% 및 28.22%가 낮았다. Total cholesterol 함량은 CB군이 NC군에 비하여 54.07%가 높았으나, NS군 및 FS군은 CB군에 비하여 각각 10.59% 및 17.99%가 낮았으며, LDL-cholesterol의 함량도 유사한 경향이었다. 반면에, HDL-cholesterol의 함량은 CB군이 NC군에 비하여 55.08%가 낮았으나, NS군 및 FS군은 CB군에 비하여 각각 26.96% 및 72.12%가 높았다. GSH의 함량(${\mu}mole/g$ of tissue)은 CB군(4.42)이 NC군(5.09)에 비하여 13.16%가 낮았으나, NS군과 FS군은 각각 4.84 및 4.93으로 NC군과의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, NS군과 FS군 간에도 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 LPO의 함량(MDA nmole/g of tissue)은 CB군이 NC군에 비하여 36.71%가 높았으나, 특히 FS군에서는 NC군 수준으로 회복되었다. XO(xanthine oxidase) 활성(% against control)은 NC군이 98.45, CB군 128.97, NS군 119.70, FS군 90.65로 NS군은 CB군과, FS군은 NS군과의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. AO(aldehyde oxidase)의 활성(% against control)은 CB군이 NC군에 비하여 22.48%가 높았으나, NS군 및 FS군은 NC군에 비하여 각각 14.88% 및 7.56%가 높았으며, CB군에 비하여는 각각 8.94% 및 16.15%가 감소하였다. 이상의 결과, Aspergillus oryzae로 발효시킨 청미래덩굴잎 ethylacetate 추출물은 비발효 경우에 비하여 $CCl_4$를 처리한 mouse에서 간 조직의 손상을 회복시키는 효과가 높으며, 이는 FS군에서 XO 및 AO의 저해활성이 높은 것으로 미루어, 청미래덩굴잎에 존재하는 flavonoid 배당체가 발효에 의하여 분해되어 aglycone화함으로써 나타난 결과라 사료된다.

In order to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of an herb distillate, ie., a mixture of 28 traditional Korean herbs, germanium, tormarine and Gijangsoo (Gijang water), $CCl_4$ was intraperitoneally administered to rats before or after supplementation of the diluted herb distillate (HD) for 2 weeks. Then hepatic xanthine oxidase activity and serum lipid profiles were determined. The experimental groups had higher feed intake than the normal control (NC), but had lower weight gain. Water intake and the amount of feces were not significantly different, but urine was excreted in lower amounts in all the experimental groups compared to the NC. Liver weights in the HD-supplemented groups were lower than that of the distilled water-supplemented groups (DW-groups) after $CCl_4$-administration. Serum ALT activities in all the experimental groups were higher than that of the NC-group. However, the increasing activity of serum ALT in the HD-supplemented groups (HD-groups) was lower than that of the DW-groups. Total serum and LDL-cholesterol levels were higher in all the $CCl_4$-administered groups than in the NC-groups, and serum HDL-cholesterol levels were lower in all the experimental groups compared with the NC-groups. Meanwhile, the increasing rate of total serum and LDL-cholesterol levels and the decreasing rate of HDL-cholesterol in the HD-groups were lower than that of the DW-groups. But, levels of serum TG were similar among all the experimental groups. The activities of hepatic xanthine oxidase (XOD) type O of the $CCl_4$-administered rats showed a significant increase in and an increasing rate of XOD in the HD-groups, which was lower than that of the DW-groups. On the other hand, GST activities in all the experimental groups were significantly decreased, and the decreasing rate was lower in the HD-groups than in the DW-groups. The hepatic contents of GSH and LPO in all the rats were not changed by $CCl_4$ administration. These results suggest that the decreased liver damage in the HD-supplemented groups was due to the inhibition of XOD-type O activity by constituents of HD, as well as by a prevention/inhibition of serum lipid profile changes in $CCl_4$-treated rats. However, further detailed studies are needed to support this hypothesis.

탄소나노튜브를 이용하여 변형한 콜레스테롤 측정을 위한 바이오 센서를 개발하였다. 개발된 콜레스테롤 바이오 센서는 일회용으로 콜레스테롤의 효소반응에서 전자전달을 증진시키기 위하여 탄소잉크로 스크린 프린트된 전극을 탄소나노튜브를 이용하여 변형하였으며, 변형한 탄소나노튜브 전극위에 콜레스테롤 산화효소와 과산화효소, 전자매개 물질로 페로시안 칼륨을 도포하여 제작하였다. 탄소나노튜브를 이용하여 변형한 콜레스테롤 바이오 센서는 전기화학적으로 콜레스테롤 측정시 매우 신속하고 안정된 신호를 나타내었다. 개발된 콜레스테롤 센서는 소량의 (0.5 μL) 시료로 총 콜레스테롤 100~400 mg/dL 영역에서 5초 이내에 직선적인 감응을 나타내었으며 좋은 재현성을 나타내었다(CV 4.0% 이하).
