Dipterocarpus tuberculatus Roxb.의 약리학적 효능은 광노화(photoaging), 염증(inflammation), 간독성(hepatotoxicity), 급성 위염(acute gastritis) 및 골유착(osseointegration)을 포함한 일부 분야에서만 연구되었다. 비만에 대한 D. tuberculatus의 새로운 효능을 규명하기 위해, Dipterocarpus tuberculatus Roxb.의 메탄올 추출물(MED)을 처리한 3T3-L1 지방세포에서 지방축적에 대한 억제효과와 지방분해에 대한 촉진효과를 연구하였다. MDI로 분화를 유도한 3T3-L1 지방세포에 분화 기간동안 MED를 처리했을 때, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ와 CCAAT-enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) α의 mRNA 수준 뿐만 아니라 adipocyte fatty acid binding protein 2 (aP2)과 fatty acid synthase (FAS)의 발현을 억제하였다. MDI로 분화를 유도한 3T3-L1 지방세포에 분화 기간 동안 MED를 처리했을 때, Oil red O로 염색된 지방방울(lipid droplets)에서 유사한 감소가 관찰되었다. 더불어, 3T3-L1 지방세포에 MDI로 분화를 유도한 후 MED를 처리했을때, cAMP농도, free glycerol 농도, lipases의 발현을 포함한 lipolytic target의 증가가 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 MED가 MDI로 분화를 유도한 3T3-L1 지방세포에서 lipogenesis 저해제와 lipolysis 촉진제로서 새로운 역할을 갖음을 제시하고 있다.

The impact of slash and burning on microbial biomass C, N and P in soils of semi-evergreen tropical deciduous forest were studied from February 1999 to January 2000. The experimental sites were located near Moreh town in the Chandel district of Manipur state (India) along the Indo-Myanmar border between 23° 49' N-24°28'N latitude and 93°45'E-94°16'E longitude. Microbial biomass C ranged from 319.50 ㎍ g/sup -1/ 905.50㎍ g/sup -1/ in the slash and burnt site and from 209.50 ㎍ g/sup -1/ to 708.80 ㎍ g/sup -1/ soil in the forest site. Microbial N ranged from 19.30 ㎍ g/sup -1/ to 99.45 ㎍ g/sup -1/ in the slash and burnt site and from 16.08㎍ g/sup -1/ to 88.90 ㎍ g/sup -1/ in the forest site. Microbial P varied from 10.90 ㎍ g/sup -1/ to 32.21 ㎍ g/sup -1/ in the slash and burnt site and from 2.50 ㎍ g/sup -1/ to 17.60 ㎍ g/sup -1/ in the forest site in different months throughout the year. Microbial biomass C, N and P were recorded to be higher in the slash and burnt site compared to the forest site The conversion of forest into slash and burnt site for agriculture - the traditional shilling cultivation practiced by tribal people in the north- eastern India leads to addition of large amount of organic matter in the soil thereby exhibiting higher values of microbial biomass C, N and P in the recent slash and burnt site than that of the forest site. Relationship between the soil moisture, soil organic C and microbial biomass C, N and P were found to be correlated significantly in both the sites.
