  • This study was designed to find out the effects of aerobic exercise on the serum lipids in the middle-aged women. The effects of aerobic dancing on serum total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) were studied in eight sedentary women(control group) and twenty seven aerobic exercising women(aerobic group) , aged 35∼45%. Aerobic exercising subjects were divided into 3 group; 2 to 3 months exercising group(Al), 4 to 10 months exercising group(AH), over 1 year exercising group(AIII) according to the periods of exercise. The serum lipid levels of aerobic exercising groups(AI, AII, AIIII) were compared with those of control group. The results statistically analyzed were summarized as follows : 1) The serum TG levels of aerobic groups decreased very significantly compared with those of control group(p< 0.001) and tended to be lower with the increase in aerobic periods. But there were no significant differences among aerobic groups by ANOVA. 2) The serum TC levels of aerobic groups decreased compared with those of control group and tended to be lower with the increase of aerobic periods. But there were no significant differences among groups. 3) Serum HDL-cholestrol level of A I group was elevated significantly compared with that of control group and significant difference was observed according to the aerobic periods : AR group exhibited higher serum HDL-cholesterol values than AH group, and AH group higher than A I group.

  • A novel series of imidazo[1,2-$\alpha$]pyridines was designed, synthesized, and tested for their ability to inhibit acyl- CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase. Preliminary lead optimization efforts resulted in the identification of ACAT inhibitors represented by analogues 5b, 5c, 6a, 6c, 7b, and 7c. The ACAT inhibitory activity of these compounds was further established by potent inhibition of cholesteryl ester formation in HepG2 cells by a representative analogue 7b.

  • It is now generally accepted that individuals at increased risk for cardiovascular disease may be identified by certain traits or habbits. The factors such as high blood pressure, elevated blood cholestrol, age, sex and obesity are associated with increseaed frequency of disease. The blood cholesterol level lowering will decrease cardiovascular disease risk. The regression of atherosclerosis can be achieved by lowering the level of circulating cholesterol. Those things are connected with the quantity and quality of protein, fats, carbohydrates, especially soluble and non-soluble fiber, magnesium and calcium. The lipoprotein and lipid metabolism are connected with the lipid transport. The factors on lipid absorption and blood serum lipid pattern of human are exist. The factors have a variety of materials with different chemical and physical properties. The soluble fiber diet make a low blood and liver lipids. Many kind of soluble fiber results in a lowering of blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The cholesterol lowering effects of dietery fiber may be a results of alterations of in intestinal handling of fats, hepatic metabolism of fatty acid or triglyceride acid metabolism of lipoprotein. It is investigated that the high density lipoprotein (HDL) is inversely related to coronary artery disease. It has been postulated that HDL may be an important factor in cholesterol efflux from the tissues, therby reducing the amount of cholesterol deposited there. Alternatively, the HDL may pick up cholestyl ester and phospholipid during normal VLDL lipolysis in the plasma. The HDL levels are relatively insensitive to diet. At present time, the cause-and -diet effect of HDL's inverse relation to CHD remains unclear.

  • Demonstration of the highly positive correlation between blood cholestrol levels and heart disease has made consumers wary of the fats in meat, milk and eggs. The egg, as perhaps the single largest common source of cholesterol, has been cited by many members of the medical and scientific world as a food contributing to heart disease. In light of decreasing per capita egg consumption and continuing dietary egg cholesterol controversy, many researchers have focused their efforts on egg nutrition. The results reported, however, are often contradictory. In spite of the disputable scientific evidence, the egg has been labelled (erroneously) as a highly cholesterogenic food. The objective of this presentation is to present a general picture of the problem and discuss our laboratory findings relevant to the problem. An isotope technique was utilized to incorporate $^{14}C$-cholesterol into egg yolk lipoproteins and study the metabolic fate of dietary ovo-cholesterol in rats. Two hundred and fifty micro-curies of 4-$^{14}C$-cholesterol, emulsified in corn oil, were orally administered to five Single Comb White Leghorn laying hens. Eggs were collected, hard-boiled, and the hot dried egg yolk powder (HEY) was prepared. Total radioactivity excreted via feces was determined. The rat groups fed egg yolk powder excreted more than 95% of the ingested ovo-cholesterol, whereas the rat chow group excreted only 47%. No difference was observed between HEY and CEY treatments. Therefore, an unknown lipid factor present in egg folk accelerates cholesterol turnover rate and excretion via feces.

  • Both hydrolysed guar gum and polydextrose have been used as a major fiber source in preparations of unctional drink products and other food products. In this study we determined the effects of these fibers on lipid metabolism of normal rats with two different dietary fat levels by using cellulose as the control. Serum total lipid triglyceride total cholesterol and HDL-colesterol were determined with proper enzymatic methods. Feed intake weight gain and feed efficiency ratio were also calcula-ted. Polydextrose-fed group showed lower serum triglyceride level than hydrolysed guar gum-fed group regardless of fat level used in this study without changing total lipid level in the serum. We also observed that polydextrose-fed group showed low serum cholesterol level nummerically high serum HDL-cholestrol level and more excretion of fecal neutral sterols when compare with those values of hydrolysed guar gum-fed group. The results indicate that polydextrose might have more beneficial roles in lipid metabolism when compare with hydrolysed guar gum.

  • The effect of petroleum ether soluble fraction (PESF) and panaxydol extracted from red ginseng on serum cholesterol levels was examined in rats and mice fed on a high cholesterol diet. When 2% cholesterol diet containing PESF (800mg/kg diet) or panaxydol (100mg/kg diet) was fed to mice for two weeks, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in the serum were significantly decreased in PESF and panaxydol treated group. Panaxydol (5, 10mg/kg b.w./day) was administered for 3 consecutive days by intraperitoneal injection in rats fed on 1% cholesterol diet. Serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol levels of panaxydol administered group (5 mg/kg b.w./day) were decreased by 55%, 33% and 67% compared with those of the control group, respectively. However, a significant increase of serum HDL-cholesterol was observed on panaxydol administered group. Furthermore, hepatic cholestrol levels was significantly decreased in panaxydol administered group. These results suggest that panaxydol could protect hypercholesterolemia.

  • 홍채학은 대체의학의 한 분야로서 홍채 침착의 불규칙성을 주시함으로써 의학적 상태를 진단한다. 홍채학적 분류에 의한 체질은 가족력을 보이고 있으며 이는 홍채체질의 유전성을 의미한다. 강력한 면역조절자이며 전 염증성 사이토카인인 종양괴사인자(tumor necrosis factor-a, TNF-${\alpha}$)는 많은 병리적 과정에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서 본 연구자는 고혈압환자에서 홍채체질과 TNF-${\alpha}$ 유전자 다형성과의 관련성을 조사하였다. 87명의 고혈압 환자와 79명의 정상인을 홍채체질에 따라 분류하였으며 이들의 TNF-${\alpha}$ 유전자형을 분석하였다. 결과적으로 정상인에 비하여 TNF-${\alpha}$ GA 이형접합체의 빈도가 고혈압 환자군에서 감소하였다. 이 같은 결과는 TNF-${\alpha}$ 다형성이 고혈압에 대한 저항성과 관련 있음을 의미한다. 또한 고혈압환자에서 콜레스테롤 침착체질과 심신 결합조직 허약 체질은 42.5%로서 정상인 16.5%에 비하여 현저하게 증가하였다 (P<0.001). GG TNF-${\alpha}$ 유전자형을 갖고 있는 군에서 심신 결합조직 허약체질과 콜레스테롤 침착체질의 빈도는 정상인보다 환자에서 유의하게 높았다(P<0.001). 본 연구에서 저자는 홍채체질과 고혈압사이의 관련성을 발견함과 동시에 TNF-${\alpha}$ 유전자 다형성과 고혈압, 그리고 홍채 체질과의 관련성을 최초로 입증하였다.

  • The primary objective of these studies was to screen the materials showing inhibitions of HMG-CoA reductase in vitro. The secondary objective was to determine the effect of garlic, lovastatin and copper on cholesterol concentrations in plasma, liver and breast tissues in pullets. The degree of inhibition of the selective samples on HMG-CoA reductase activity was determined in vitro. The inhibition ratios of water soluble garlic extracts, lovastatin (methanol extracts) and copper to HMG-CoA reductase activity were 51.3%, 87.5%, and 82.0%, respectively. Control diet (basal diet) and experimental diets, garlic powder (3% in diet), lovastatin (300mg/Kg of diet) and copper (200mg/Kg of diet) were fed to pullets in order to investigate the changes of cholesterol concentration in plasma and tissues. Total cholesterol, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol in blood plasma were significantly reduced in pullets fed diet containing 3% garlic powder. However, copper significantly increased total cholesterol compared to control and lovastatin did not affect plasma cholesterol concentration. Total cholesterol and triglyceride of liver and breast tissues in pullets were not affected by adding the cholesterol-lowering materials to diets. The data suggests that it is not easy for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors to reduce cholesterol levels in body due to complication of cholesterol metabolism. However, garlic administration can lower the levels of plasma cholesterol in pullets.
