본 연구에서는 사료 중 비타민 C(200 mg/kg)와 비타민 E(250 mg/kg)의 첨가가 heat stress하 육용종계의 난각 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 83주령의 강제환우된 Ross 육용종계 160수를 공시하여 4처리 4반복 그리고 반복당 10수를 무작위로 개별 케이지에 수용하였다. 4처리구 중 대조구는 비타민 C와 E를 추가로 첨가하지 않았으며 시험구는 비타민 C 처리구, 비타민 E 처리구, 그리고 비타민 C/E 동시 처리구로 하였다. 실온 25 $^{\circ}C$에서 10일간의 적응기간 후에 32 $^{\circ}C$에서 3주간 실험하였다. 실험기간 중 산란율은 급속히 떨어졌으나 처리구간에 유의한 차이가 없었으나 난중, 비중, 난각두께, SWUSA, pucture force와 난각 파괴강도에서는 비타민 C/E 처리구가 대조구에 비해 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 비타민 C 처리구는 경골 파괴강도에서 37.16 kg으로 대조구 및 비타민 E 처리구에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05).한편, 혈중 corticosterone 수준(5.97 ng/ml)은 대조구가 다른 시험구들보다 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). Heat stress는 백혈구 중 heterophil의 비율을 높이고 lymphocyte의 비율은 낮추어 H/L ratio를 변화시켰다. 시험구의 H/L ratio는 대조구보다 낮았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 결론적으로 사료 중 비타민 C(200 mg/kg)와 비타민 E(250 mg/kg)의 첨가는 육용종계에서 heat stress에 의한 영향을 경감하여 난각품질 및 경골강도의 약화를 방지한다고 할 수 있겠다.

Objectives : The effects of Pinelliae Rhizoma extract(PRe) were tested for the anti-stress action. Methods : PRe was fed to ICR male mice($20{\pm}2g$) orally with the dose of 100 mg/kg/day for five days. Mice were exposed to sociopsychological stress by restraining and seeing foot shock stressed mice for one hour for five days. Results : PRe administration had the effect of decreasing serum level of lipid peroxidation. The elevated plus-maze test is designed to detect the effect of anxiolytic drugs, and PRe administration group showed a significant increase of latency time. From Microarray, common features between mind-stimulus related genes and body-stimulus related genes were not so abundant When PRe was administered, there were some changes in distributions of mind-stimulus related genes but the distributions were not recovered to normal status. Conclusions : These results suggest that PRe can effectively rid the sociopsychological stress and stress concrened diseases.

To investigate the effect of dietary lipids and stress on brain catecholamine and serotonin concentration, sixty three weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats(mean body weight$\pm$SD : 171$\pm$3g) were fed a diet containing fish oil, soybean oil or beef tallow and than, each was exposed to three different types of stress, isolated, grouped or cold, respectively. Cold stress seemed to be most severe and living together in a large cage with some playing equipments is more stressful than living alone in a classical small cage evidenced by plasma corticosterone level. Average food intake and body weight gain were not significantly different among exprimental groups. In adrenal catecholamines, norepinephrine was significantly affected by diet and stress and dopamine was by stress. Norepinephrine concentration of the fish oil group was lowest among diet groups. Adrenal epinephrine, however, was not. It was also shown than the cold stress significantly increased the brain norepinephrine concentration. The cold stress significantly induced higher content of brain serotonin than the grouped stress. However, the concentratin of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid(5-HIAA), the metabolite of serotonin, was not significantly different among groups. Therefore, this results suggest that stress affects sympathetic neuronal activity, and fish oil might lighten the burden of stress.

The etiology of most psychiatric disorders is still incompletely understood. However, growing evidence suggests that stress is a potent environmental risk factor for depression and anxiety. In rodents, various stress paradigms have been developed, but psychosocial stress paradigms have received more attention than non-social stress paradigms because psychosocial stress is more prevalent in humans. Interestingly, some recent studies suggest that chronic psychosocial stress and social isolation affects mainly anxiety-related behaviors in mice. However, it is unclear whether chronic non-social stress induces both depression- and anxiety-related phenotypes or induces one specific phenotype in mice. In the present study, we examined the behavioral consequences of three chronic non-social stress paradigms: chronic predictable (restraint) stress (CPS), chronic unpredictable stress (CUS), and repeated corticosterone-HBC complex injection (RCI). Each of the three paradigms induced mild to severe depression/despair-like behaviors in mice and resulted in increased immobility in a tail suspension test. However, anxiety-related phenotypes, thigmotaxis and explorative behaviors, were not changed by the three paradigms. These results suggest that depression- and anxiety-related phenotypes can be dissociated in mouse stress models and that social and non-social stressors might affect brain circuits and behaviors differently.

Various neurotransmitters are involved in regulating stress systems. In this study, we investigated the combination relieving effect of green tea extract(GTE) and L-theanine on the stress induced by electric foot shock. Four week oral administration of GTE (24 mg/kg), L-theanine (4 mg/kg) or their combination reduced the levels of dopamine, noradrenaline and corticosterone in blood, brain cortex, hippocampus, and striatum, wherease increased serotonin level. The combination of GTE and L-theanine showed much greater effects than single treatment of each component, and the effects are comparable to diazepam (2 mg/kg). Therefore, this study suggests that the combination of GTE and L-theanine may act effective and be useful for stress relieving treatment.

$17{\alpha}$-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase are enzymes encoded by the CYP17A1 gene and are required for the synthesis of sex steroids and cortisol. In $17{\alpha}$-hydroxylase deficiency, there are low blood levels of estrogens, androgens, and cortisol, and resultant compensatory increases in adrenocorticotrophic hormone that stimulate the production of 11-deoxycorticosterone and corticosterone. In turn, the excessive levels of mineralocorticoids lead to volume expansion and hypertension. Females with $17{\alpha}$-hydroxylase deficiency are characterized by primary amenorrhea and delayed puberty, with accompanying hypertension. Affected males usually have female external genitalia, a blind vagina, and intra-abdominal testes. The treatment of this disorder is centered on glucocorticoid and sex steroid replacement. In patients with $17{\alpha}$-hydroxylase deficiency who are being raised as females, estrogen should be supplemented, while genetically female patients with a uterus should also receive progesterone supplementation. Here, we report a case of a 21-year-old female with $17{\alpha}$-hydroxylase deficiency who had received inadequate treatment for a prolonged period of time. We also include a brief review of the recent literature on this disorder.

The aim of this study is to investigate anti-stress effect of Nelumbo nucifera extract (NNE) inimmobilization - stressed ICR mice. Stress exposure has induced adrenal gland weight, plasma glucose and level in NNE. The experiments were performed with the use of 9 weeks of age male ICR mice (20-25g) at the time of first treatment with NNE. Animals of the normal group were not exposed to any stress and the control group were exposed to stress. The rats of NNE and Diazepam (BZ) supplementary group were orally administered once a day, 100 mg of NNE, 5 mg of BZ extract/kg body weight and they were exposed to stress. Animals were given supplements for 7 days without stress, and then were given supplements for 5 days with restraining. NNE was effective in decreasing scopolamine induced deficit in passive avoidance test and levels of blood corticosterone which was increased by stress in the mice.

5-Hydroxytryptamine(serotonin, 5-HT)은 중추신경의 신경 전달물질로서 조울병, 불안신경증 등의 정신병태생리에 중요한 역할을 한다. Radioligand 결합실험에 의하여 5-$HT_{1A}$, 5-$HT_{1B}$, 5-$HT_{1C}$, 5-$HT_{1D}$, 5-$HT_{2}$, 5-$HT_3$의 5-HT receptor subtypes의 존재가 확인되어 있고, 그 중에서도 5-$HT_{1A}$ receptor는 중추작용 증 정 도의 조절에 관계가 깊은 raphe nuclei 및 해마에 주로 존재하여 약리학적으로는 체온강하, 혈압 강하, 과식작용, corticosterone 분비 등과 관련되어 있음이 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 수용체 agonist가 항불안약, 항우울약 또는 항고혈압약으로서의 응용이 가능해지면서 5-$HT_{1A}$ 수용체 기능의 해명 및 그 agonist의 개발이 주목받고 있는 가운데, 본 연구에 있어서, 항불안약 개발목적으로 합성된 일련의 화합물 중 1-<3-(3,4-methylene-dioxyphenoxy)propyl> 4-phenyl piperazine (DP-554)이 5-HT 수용체에 특이적이고 선택적으로 높은 친화성을 가지며, rat 해마의 막분획에서 adenylate cyclase 활성을 억제하고, 뇌내 5-HT turnover rate를 감소시키는 둥의 약리학적 작용을 나타내어, 이 화합물이 5-$HT_{1A}$ receptor agonist로서 작용함을 밝혔다. Mouse vas deferens (MVD)를 이용한 실험에서 5-$HT_{1A}$ receptor가 MVD의 교감신경 말단에 존재하여 그 neurotransmission을 억제함이 시사되었으며, 이 조직에서 또한 5-$HT_2$와 5-$HT_3$ 수용체의 존재를 확인하고 각각의 기능을 분명히 했다.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of compensatory growth nutritional regimen on mammary gland growth and lactation. One hundred twenty-two Sprague Dawley female rats (35 days of age) were randomly assigned to either a control or a stair-step compensatory nutrition (SSCN) feeding regimen or an alternating 2-2-3-3-week schedule beginning with 40% energy restriction for 2 weeks followed by re-alimentation (control diet) for 2 weeks. Pup weight gain and milk yield were improved 8% and 8 to 15%, respectively, by the SSCN regimen. The gene expression of $\beta$-casein was 2.3-fold greater in the SSCN group than in the control group during early lactation, but they were greater at all stages of the second lactation. The gene expression of insulin-like growth factor-I was 40% lower in the SSCN group than in the control group during early lactation of the second lactation, but during late lactation it was 80% greater than in the control group. The concentration of serum corticosterone tended to be higher in the SSCN group during the late stage of the first lactation. These results suggest that the stair-step compensatory nutrition regimen improves lactation performance and persistency by modulation of cell differentiation and apoptotic cell death.

Heat stress환경의 육용종계에서 사료에 첨가한 비타민 C(200 mg/kg)와 비타민 E(250 mg/kg)가 난각 품질 및 경골 강도에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 실험을 실시하였다. 강제 환우에서 회복된 83주령의 Ross품종 육용종계 160수를 4처리 4반복 10수씩 개별 케이지에 수용 한 뒤, 10일간의 적응 기간을 둔 뒤, 3주간에 걸쳐 32$^{\circ}C$에서 지속적으로 온도를 유지하면서 사료 섭취량, 산란율, 폐사율, 난중, Haugh unit, 난각의 품질, 경골 파괴강도 그리고 혈액 중의 혈구 세포 등을 조사하였다. Heat stress는 폐사율, 산란율, 난중, 그리고 Haugh unit를 감소시키는 경향이 있었으나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 난각의 SWUSA와 압축 파괴강도는 비타민 C/E 첨가구에서 2, 3주차에 무첨가구보다 유의하게 높았으나 (P<0.05), 비타 C 또는 E 첨가구 사이에서는 유의차가 없었다. Heterophil과 lymphocyte의 숫자는 heat stress 동안에 각각 증가 또는 감소하였다. 처리구간에는 비타민 C/E 첨가구가 H/L/ratio 수준이 가장 낮았으며, 무첨가구가 가장 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 경골의 파괴강도는 비타민 C 첨가구에서 가장 높았다(P<0.05). 혈액 중의 비타민 C 농도는 비타민 C첨가구와 비타민 C/E 첨가구에서 각각 12.73 g/ml과 8.23 g/ml으로 높았다(P<0.05). 비타민 E 첨가구와 비타민 C/E 첨가구에서 혈액 중 비타민 E 농도가 유의하게 높았다 (P<0.05). Corticosterone 농도는 무첨가구에서 5.97g/ml으로 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다.(P<0.05).
