The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of apo E polymorphisms and dietary counseling on the levels of plasma lipids in hyperlipidemic patients. The changes of serum lipids were assessed f3r 34 hyperlipidemic out-patients who changed their basal diet containing 20.1% fat(236.0mg cholesterol/day), 15.7% protein, and 64.2% carbohydrate to a diet containing 18.3% fat(109.8mg cholesterol/day), 15.7% protein, and 66.0% carbohydrate for 12 weeks. At the beginning of this study, the levels of plasma LDL-cholesterol were high according to apo E genotypes in the following order : E2/3

The purpose of this study was to determine the dose effects of taurine supplementation and effects of taurine depletion in diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were fed the purified diets and supplemented with 1, 2 or 3% taurine in drinking water for 7 weeks(E1, E2 and E3, respectively). To induce taurine depletion, rats were treated with 5% $\beta$-alanine in drinkeng water (EA). Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin injection(50mg/kg B.W) after 3 weeks. Taurine-depleted diabetic rats(EA)had significantly lower body weight compared to those of nondiabetic(CO), nontaurine-supplemented diabetic(E0) and taurine-supplemented diabetic rats(E1, E2 and E3). E0 had significantly higher food intake compared to that of CO and EA. E1, E2 and E3, however, had significantly lower food intake compared to that of E0, and E3 had significantly lower food intake compared to that of E1 and E2. E0 had significantly higher water intake compare to that of CO and EA. EI had significantly lower water intake compared to that of E0. Blood glucose concentration of E0 was significantly increased compared to that of CO and EA. E2 and E3 had significantly lower blood glucose concentration compared to E0 and E1. Also there was a dose effect in blood glucose concentration between E2 and E3. The total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations of EA were significantly increased compared to those of other groups. Therefore, it may be suggested that taurine supplementation is necessary for diabetes in order to prevent diabetic complications such as cardiac vascular diseases.

Apo E polymorphism (e2, e3, e4) was among the first reported genetic polymorphism that explained part of the normal variation in plasma cholesterol concentrations. Both alleles E2 and E4 are significantly more frequent in patients with mixed forms of hyperlipidemia and contribute on the observed differences in CHD risk among different populations. Effects of apo E polymorphism on the distribution of plasma lipid profiles were studied in 105 normolipidemic healthy women. The relative frequencies of common alleles for gene locus of apo E in this study were that E3 allele was 0.848, E4 allels was 0.087, and E2 allele was 0.067. SBP and DBP were slightly more elevated in E2 allele than those in E3 and E4. The pulsation was also significantly (p<0.016) increased by E2 allele with excess body fat % in E2 allele. There were no differences in total-, total HDL-, VLDL+LDL-, VLDL- and LDL cholesterol among the apo E alleles. However, apo E2 allele subject had lower level of total HDL and HDL2 cholesterol (P<0.047) and significantly higher lev디 of HDL3 cholesterol (P<0.05) than those in apo E3 and E4 allele subject. The conclusion is that first, it seems that apo E4-mediated alteration through LDL B/E receptors or E receptors in cholesterol metabolism results in lower plasma TG or remanate particles and in higher levels of VLDL+LDL or LDL. Second, apo E2 allele shows reciprocal effects of E4 on the plasma lipid metabolism, respecitvely. Third, apo E2 allele was more atherogenic than apo E4 because the higher levels of HDL3/HDL2 ratio and atherogenic index[(TC-HDL)/HDL]were criticized.

The present study examined the effects of dietary PUFA and vitamin E supplementation(2,000 I.U./Kg diet) on vitamin E levels of serum, liver and brain in chicks aged one week (younger chick) and four weeks(older chick). 1) Younger chicks showed more sensitive response to vitamin E supplementation in the diet than older chicks in their serum levels, but not in liver levels. 2) Chicks fed excess vitamin E showed significantly higher levels of vitamin E in both serum and liver than unsupplemented groups. 3) PUFA diet lowered serum and liver vitamin E levels especially for vitamin E supplemented groups except for older chick liver at 3 weeks of the experimental period. 4) Vitamin E levels of brain were relatively lower than those of serum and liver and showed little change according either to the dietary PUFA or to vitamin E supplementation.

The properties of three esterases (E2, E6 and E11) which were previously purified from Pieris rapae L. were determined and physiological role of E6 was inferred using immunological methods. Based on inhibitor study, all of the purified esterases were found to be carboxylesterases (EC 3.1.1.1). The Km values for E2, E6 and E11 were determined to be 6.89 X 10-$^4$M. 3.19 $\times$ l0-$^4$M and 3.69 X 10-$^4$M, respectively. The molecular weights of E2, E6 and E11 were estimated to be 42 KD, 81 KD and 174 KD, respectively. The isoelectric points of E2, E6 and E11 were estimated to be pH 5.54, pH 5.89 and pH 6.50, respectively. The concentration of E6 during development was highest at the late 5th instar larval stage and that according to organs at the same stage was highest in midgut. These results suggest that E6 might be a hydrolase involved in the digestion of dietary lipids.

This study was conducted to investigate the genetic analysis of esterase isozymes in maize with tillers. The materials used for the study were stele tissue for five day old seedlings of IK inbred line with tiller and A-type inbred line with no tiller, their Fl and F,. The methods employed for the study were same as previous report by Lee and Choe. A total of thirteen isoesterase enzyme bands were identified and five zones were distinguised according to both migration distance and genetic segregation patterns. The E$\sub$0.3/, E$\sub$0.4/ and E$\sub$0.5/ loci appeared from orgin to 0.5cm migration distance were controlled by the two alleles in (IK/A-type)F$_2$ and the E$\sub$0.3/+E$\sub$0.4/ of variants was controlled by codominant alleles. The E$\sub$1.0/, E$\sub$1.2/, E$\sub$1.5/ and E$\sub$1.8/ loci appeared from 1.0cm to 1.8cm were also controlled by the two alleles. However, the null band was functioned alleles. The E$\sub$2.8/, E$\sub$3.0/ and E$\sub$3.5/ loci appeared from 2.8cm to 3.5cm migration distance were very active and near location. A total of individuals with two paried bands of these loci were more than those of three paired bands(x$^2$=0.327$\^$**/). The activity of bands appeared over 3.8cm were very low and these were controlled by the two alleles. In above results, genetic segregations of stele tissue of maize with tillers were suggested to be controlled by Mendelian genetic laws.

A series of allylidenethiosemicarbazone compounds (2a~2e) were obtained in 45~85% by condensing (E)-3-(aryl)acrylaldehyde (1a~1e) with thiosemicarbazide. Theses compounds on treatment of 2,4'-dibromoacetophenone and 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline yielded 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles (3a~3e) and 2-[(E)-3-(aryl)allylidenehydrazono]thiazolo[5,4-b]quinoxaline (4a~4e) in good yield respectively. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were identified by IR and $^1H-NMR$ spectral data.
