The principal objective of this study was to compare the effects of whole and hydrolyzed cells (bifidobacteria) treated with gastrointestinal digestive enzymes on the activation of cloned macrophages. Seven different strains of Bifidobacterium obtained from swine, chickens, and rats, were digested with pepsin followed by pancreatin and the precipitate (insoluble fraction) and supernatant (soluble fraction) obtained via centrifugation. The RAW 264.7 murine macrophages were incubated with either whole cells, the precipitate, or supernatant at various concentrations. Pronounced increases in the levels of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin $(IL)-1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ were observed in the whole cells and precipitates, but these effects were less profound in the supernatants. The precipitates also evidenced a slight, but significant, inductive activity for NO and all tested cytokines, with the exception of $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ in the macrophage model as compared with the whole cells. By way of contrast, $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ production when cultured with whole cells (100 ng/ml) resulted in marked increases as compared with what was observed with the precipitates. The results of this study indicated, for the first time, that digested Bifidobacterium sp. can induce the production of NO and several cytokines in RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells. In the current study, it was demonstrated that Bifidobacterium strains treated with digestive enzymes, as compared with whole cells, are capable of stimulating the induction of macrophage mediators, which reflects that they may be able to modulate the gastrointestinal immune functions of the host.

The effects of ${\beta}$-glucosidase on the overall growth performance and a set of physiological parameters of broilers were investigated. 240 male, one-day old Avine broiler chickswere randomly allocated to four treatment groups and fed with a corn-soybean meal supplemented with 0% (control), 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% ${\beta}$-glucosidase. The 0.2% ${\beta}$-glucosidase group, but not the 0.4% and 0.6% ${\beta}$-glucosidase groups, showed a significantly increased average daily weight gain (p<0.05) over that of the control. All three ${\beta}$-glucosidase feed groups showed significantly higher feed conversion ratios than the control group (p<0.05). Feed supplementation of 0.2% ${\beta}$-glucosidase significantly raised the contents of serum isoflavone aglycones as shown by decreases of genistin and daizin (p<0.01) and an increase of daidzein (p<0.01). The 0.2% ${\beta}$-glucosidase feeding significantly increased the intestinal amylase activity while it had little effect on lipase and trypsin activities (p>0.05). 0.2% ${\beta}$-glucosidase feeding also significant elevated the levels of highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol and malate dehydrogenase while lowering the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Finally, ${\beta}$-glucosidase improved the anti-oxidative activities of the animals; the 0.2% ${\beta}$-glucosidase feed group had higher activities of superoxide dismutase (p<0.05), glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase in the liver (p<0.05), and malondialdehyde level in the serum (p<0.05).

식이섬유에 5주간 적응된 횐쥐 (S.D., male)를 14시간 절식시킨 뒤 총 에너지의 50%가 되는 고지방식이를 급여하고 4시간 뒤의 혈장 지질 농도와 소화효소활성을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 혈장과 지단백의 콜레스테롤 함량은 sodium alginate군에서 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 혈장 중성지방 함량은 식이군간에 차이가 없었으나 LDL-중성지방은 sodium alginate군에서 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). HDL-중성지방 함량은 식이섬유 군에서 높았다 (p<0.05). 소장 apolipoprotein B는 무섬 유식이군과 cellulose군에 비해 sodium alginate군에서 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 소장 내용물에서의 amylase활성은 각 식이군간에 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 식이 섬유 첨가군에서 다소 높았으며, lipase 활성은 무섬유 식이군과 cellulose군에 비해 sodium alginate군에서 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 소장내용물에서 pretense 활성과 담즙산 함량은 식이군간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 단백질 함량은 무섬유 식이군에 비해 식이섬유 첨가군에서 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 장기간의 식이 섬유 섭취는 식이섬유가 배제된 고지방식 후에도 혈장 콜레스테롤 농도를 낮추는 효과가 있으나, 혈장 중성지방 농도는 식이 섬유가 함유된 식이에 비해 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 보인다.

체내 소화효소에 대한 안정성을 검토하기 위해 competitive ELISA를 이용하여 항원 결합력의 변화를 조사하였다. YIgG는 펩신에 대해 상당히 불안정하여 pH 2.0에서 30분간의 반응에 의해 항원 결합력이 소실되었다. 한편 yIgG 용액에 50%(w/v) saccharose를 첨가하여 펩신과 30분 반응시킨 결과 native yIgG에 비해 항원 결합력이 6.7배 정도 저하되었으나 미첨가시에 비해 항원 결합력이 상당히 유지되었으므로, 펩신에 대한 yIgG의 안정성은 saccharose에 의해 상당히 증가되었음을 알 수 있다. YIgG는 트립신 및 키모트립신과 반응 후 항원 결합력의 큰 저하는 나타나지 않아 펩신에 비해 상당히 안정한 것으로 생각된다. 트립신과 8시간 반응 후 yIgG의 항원 결합력은 native yIgG에 비해 2배 감소되었으나 키모트립신과 8시간 반응 후 yIgG의 항원 결합력은 1.5배 감소되었다. 그러므로 yIgG는 키모트립신 대해 가장 안정하였다.

본 연구에서는 시판되고 있는 카제인 나트륨, 유청 단백질 분리물, 탈지분유 및 전지분유에 TGase를 첨가하여 단백질 이동특성 및 pepsin에 의한 가수분해 정도를 조사하였다. 우유 단백질과 분말 제품들을 TGase로 2시간 동안 반응시킨 후 전기영동을 실시한 결과 모든 시료에서 고분자량의 중합체를 형성하였으며 가교결합 정도는 카제인 나트륨 >탈지분유 >전지분유 >유청 단백질 분리물 순으로 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 인체 내 소화효소인 pepsin에 의하여 가수분해된 카제인 나트륨은 10kDa 이하의 펩타이드로 분해됐고, 유청 단백질은 분해 전, 후 양상이 유사하였다. 유청 단백질 중 ${\beta}-Lg$는 pepsin에 의해 거의 분해되지 않고 저항성을 보였다. 탈지분유, 전지분유 역시 더 낮은 분자량의 펩타이드가 관찰되었는 바, in vitro 상에서의 TGase작용으로 인한 교차결합은 소화효소에 의한 가수분해가 용이함을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 TGase를 첨가하여 새로운 유제품을 개발, 이용하는데 인체내에서의 소화에 거의 문제가 없을 것임을 시사하는 것으로 보인다.

Objectives : Dioscorea batas Decaisne (DB) has been known to be good for the digestive system on Eastern Asia. However, the protective effect of DB on acute pancreatitis (AP) has not been studied. In this study, we tried to investigate the protective effect of DB water extract on caerulein-induced AP. Methods : To measure the protective effect of DB on AP, Mice were injected with cholecystokinin analogue caerulein (50 ㎍/kg) hourly for 6 times. DB water extract (200 or 400 mg/kg) or saline (control group) was administered orally 1 h before the first injection of caerulein. The mice were sacrificed at 6 h after the last injection of caerulein. The pancreas tissues and serum samples were immediately taken for further analysis. Results : Administration of DB water extract showed the inhibitory effect on the increase of pancreas weight/body weight ratio, pancreatic histological damage. And the rise of serum lipase level was significantly reduced in DB water extract treatment group during AP in mice. However administration of DB water extract did not show significant reduction in serum amylase level. Also, mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines Interleukin (IL)-6 and Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-𝛼 but not IL-1𝛽 were inhibited by administration of DB water extract. Conclusions : Taken together, we found that administration of DB water extract ameliorates the severity of caerulein-induced AP, which suggests the potential to be an effective treatment on AP.

In this study, a 12-week feeding experiment was conducted to characterize the effects of exogenous α-amylase on the growth, feed utilization, digestibility, plasma α-amylase activity, feed degradation rate, and fecal particle size of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Diet was supplemented with 0 (AA₀; control), 100 (AA₁₀₀), 200 (AA₂₀₀), or 400 (AA₄₀₀) mg/kg of α-amylase, respectively. Fish (273.1 ± 2.3 g) were stocked into 12 tanks (25 fish/1,000-L tank) and 3 tanks were randomly selected for each diet group. As a result, α-amylase was found to have no significant effects (p ≥ 0.05) on the growth, feed utilization parameters, and whole-body proximate compositions. α-Amylase-treated fish exhibited only a significant increase in the apparent digestibility coefficient of carbohydrates compared to the controls. In addition, in vitro analyses revealed that α-amylase dose-dependently increased (p < 0.05) the feed degradation rate, while photographs of the intestinal content after 2, 4, and 8 h of feeding demonstrated an improved degradation rate in the α-amylase-treated groups. Plasma α-amylase content was higher in the AA₂₀₀ and AA₄₀₀ groups, whereas the control group produced significantly larger-sized fecal particles (90% size class) than these two groups. In the intestine, no changes were observed in the expression levels of the immune-related TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2, immunoglobulin-M, HSP-70, lysozyme, and amylase alpha-2A. However, growth-related genes IGF-1, IGF-2, TGF-β3, and growth hormone genes were upregulated in muscle tissues. Collectively, exogenous α-amylase has positive roles in the modulation of the digestibility coefficient, blood α-amylase concentration, growth-related gene expression, and diet degradation for improved digestion in olive flounder.

It is a recent observation that about 80 per cent of the body's immune system is localized in the gastrointestinal tract. This explains to a large extent why eating right is important for the modulation the immune response and prevention of disease. In addition it is increasingly recognized that the body has an important digestive system also in the lower gastrointestinal tract where numerous important substances are released by microbial enzymes and absorbed. Among these substances are short chain fatty acids, amino acids, various carbohydrates, poly-amines, growth factors, coagulation factors, and many thousands of antioxidants, not only traditional vitamins but numerous flavonoids, carotenoids and similar plant- and vegetable produced antioxidants. Also consumption of health-promoting bacteria (probiotics) and vegetable fibres (prebiotics) from numerous sources are known to have strong health-promoting influence. It has been calculated that the intestine harbours about 300,000 genes, which is much more than the calculated about 60,000 for the rest of the human body, indicating a till today totally unexpected metabolic activity in this part of the GI tract. There are seemingly several times more active enzymes in the intestine than in the rest of the body, ready to release hundred thousand or more of substances important for our health and well-being. In addition do the microbial cells produce signal molecules similar to cytokines but called bacteriokines and nitric oxide, with provide modulatory effects both on the mucosal cells, the mucosa- associated lymphoid system (MALT) and the rest of the immune system. Identification of various fermentation products, and often referred to as synbiotics, studies of their role in maintaining health and well-being should be a priority issue during the years to come.

In this study, we found a new food additive as an natural herbal extracts against lipid digestion enzymes for the regulation of fatty acid absorption and weight control. The Water extracts of Platycodon grandiflorum and Solanum melongena. inhibited lipase activity and decresed serum total cholesterol and triglyceride concentration in mouse fed lipid emulsion. Twenty three volunteers were subjected to the intake of the herbal extracts plus the egg yolk IgY that inhibit carbohydrate digestion enzymes in gut for 50 days. In average, the treated subjects appeared to lose 1.96 kg of body weight and 3.4 kg of body fat mass during the treated period. Furthermore, Panniculus adiposus and breech size were significantly decreased during the experimental period. Above results suggested that the administration of the dietary additives composed of natural herbal extract and egg yolk IgY improve the obesity by the decrement of body weight and body fat mass.
