In this study the effects of water extracts of endocarps and seeds of omija(Schizandra chinensis Baillon)on alcohol metabolism in rats were investigated. 25% alcoholic solution(v/v,0.75g/200g B.W.)and 40% alcoholic solution(v/v,0.80g/200g B.W.)were orally administered to rats for 2 hours. The levels of metabolites and enzyme activities both on serum and liver were not changed by acute oral adminiatration of 25% and 40% alcoholic solution. Blood alcohol levels were significantly lowered by treatment of water extracts of endocarps and seeds of omija in rats administered with 25% and 40% alcohol. In 25% alcohol treated group, serum GPT level was decreased but hepatic G-6-P DH and pyruvate levels were increased. In 40% alcohol treated group, water extracts of endocarps and seeds of omija resulted in a significant decreased in serum levels of FFA, GPT but increased in serum glucose level. Hepatic levels of cytosolic protein, glycogen and pyruvate were increased by water extracts of omija parts in 40% alcohol treated group.

Lipids were extracted from marine rotifer, Brachionus rotundiformis in order to examine the functionality of lipid enzymatic modification. The fatty acids, palmitic, linoleic, oleic and stearic acids were the dominant forms accounting for approximately 35.8%, 21.5%, 15.9% and 7.7% of the total lipid content, respectively. Lipid fractions were categorized as neutral lipids (38.5%), glycolipids (45.9%) and phospholipids (17.6%), and after extraction from the rotifer were isolated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) as free fatty acids (FFA), monoacylglycerol (MAG), diacylglycerol (DAG) and triacylglycerol (TAG). The production of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrate from rotifer lipids was studied using lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis. In addition, rotifer lipids were modified by hydrolysis using lipases such as porcine pancreas, Candida rugosa and Rhizomucor miehei. The lipase from Rhizomucor miehei was effective in extracting linoleic acid (C 18:2), while the lipase from Candida rugosa was effective in palmitic acid (C16:0) extraction.

Changes in lipid components of Gae-bul, Urechis unicinctus, during hot-air drying ($40^{\circ}C$, 7 hrs) were studied. Raw sample contained 1.3% total lipid (TL) which consisted of 35.1% neutral lipid (NL), 18.0% glycolipid (GL) and 46.9% phospholipid (PL), and dried sample contained 5.3% TL which consisted of 51.8% NL, 20.5%GL and 27.7% PL. There were about 40% decrease in PL content and a slight increase in NL content during drying. The NL of raw sample mainly consists of triglyceride (TG, 39.8%), free sterol (FS, 39.6%), free fatty acid (FFA, 12.2%). and also identified diglyceride (DG), monoglyceride and esterified sterol and hydrocarbon in less quantify. The percent of TG and FS decreased, while that of FFA and DG increased during drying. And main components in the PL were phosphatidyl choline (PC,45.6%), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE,34.8%), and followed by phosphatidyl serine (PS) and an unknown substance. In the components of PL, PE, PS and PC decreased slightly in order during drying. And major fatty acids of raw and dried samples were generally 16:0, 18: 1, 18:3, and 20:5. The content of the polyenoic acid such as 20:5 decreased. while the saturated acid increased slightly during drying.

In order to examine the effect of oil extraction methods on the charateristics of sesame oil, the fractionation pattern and fatty acid compositions of the each fraction of the oil were compared in the oil extracted by the three different extraction methods, that is, pressure extraction of roasted seed (RTP), acetone extraction of roasted seed (RTE) and acetone extraction of raw seed (RWE). The amount of triglyceride in RWE oil was slightly higher as 77.2% of the total lipid than that in RTP and RTE oil of 73.4%. The content of oleic and linoleic acid in glycolipld and fatty acid fractions, linoleic acid in triglyceride, and palmitic and stearic acid in phospholipid fractions from RTP and RTE oil were higher than those from RWE oil, but the oleic acid in triglyceride. Palmitic and stearic acid in free fatty acid, and oleic and linoleic acid in phospholipid from RTP and RTE oil were lower than those from RWE oil. The ratio of $C_{18}$ to $C_{16}$ fatty acids and unsaturated to saturated fatty acids in glycolipid and phospholipid fractions from RTP and RTE oil were higher than those from RWE oil, but the ratios in triglyceride and free fatty acid fractions from RTP and RTE oil were lower than those from RWE oil.

The mechanism of melanogenesis induced by cyclosporin A (CsA) was investigated in B16 melanoma cells. CsA stimulated the production of melanin in a dose-dependent manner in the cells. In addition, CsA increased intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in a dose-related fashion. Treatment with BAPTA/AM, an intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ chelator significantly inhibited the CsA-induced intracellular melanin synthesis. CsA profoundly induced $Cl^-$ efflux, which was significantly blocked by niflumic acid (NFA) and flufenamic acid (FFA), specific and nonspecific inhibitors of $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^-$ channels (CaCCs), respectively. Furthermore, these inhibitors of CaCCs significantly inhibited the CsA-induced stimulation of melanin synthesis. Taken together, these results suggest that the activation of CaCCs may play an important role in the CsA-induced stimulation of melanin synthesis in B16 cells. These results further suggest that CaCCs may be a good target for the management of hyperpigmentation of the skin reported in the patients treated with CsA.

The results of recent studies indicate that high levels of free fatty acids(FFAs) and adipokines may be the main causes of non-alcoholic liver disease; however, the molecular mechanism that links FFAs to lipotoxicity remains unclear. In the present study, we treated HepG2 cells with FFA(either palmitate or oleate) to investigate the mechanisms involved in lipotoxicity in the liver cells. We also treated cells with palmitate in the presence of a chemical chaperone, 4-phenylbutyric acid(PBA), to confirm the involvement of ER stress in lipotoxicity. Palmitate significantly induced cytotoxicity in dose- and time-dependent manners. Apoptosis was also significantly induced by palmitate as measured by caspase-3 activity and DAPI staining. Palmitate led to increased expressions of the spliced form of X-box-protein(Xbp)-1 mRNA and C/EBP homologous transcription factor(CHOP) protein, suggesting activation of the unfolded-protein response. PBA co-incubation significantly attenuated apoptosis induced by palmitate. The above data demonstrate that high levels of palmitate induce apoptosis via the mediation of ER stress in the liver cells and that chemical chaperones act to modulate ER stress and accompanying apoptosis.

The purpose of this study is to develop a software for the performance evaluation and blade design of a pitch-controlled HAWT using BEMT(Blade Element Momentum Theory) with Prandtl's tip loss. The HERACLES V2.0 software consist of three major part ; basic blade design, aerodynamic coefficient mapping and performance calculation including stall or pitch control option. A 1MW wind turbine blade was designed at the rated wind speed(12m/s) composing five different airfoils such as FFA-W-301, DU91-W250, DU93-W-210, NACA 63418 and NACA 63415 from hub to tip. The mechanical power predicted by BEMT at the rated wind speed is about 1.27MW. Also, CFD analysis was performed to confirm the validity of the BEMT results. The comparison results show good agreement about the error of 6.5% in rated mechanical power.

Microwave assisted biodiesel production from crude Pongamia pinnata oil using homogeneous base catalyst (KOH) was unsuccessful because of considerable soap formation. Therefore, a two step process of biodiesel production from high free fatty acid (FFA) oil was investigated. In first step, crude P. pinnata oil was acid catalyzed using $H_2SO_4$ and acid value of oil was reduced to less than 4 mg KOH/g. Effect of sulfuric acid concentration, alcohol-oil molar ratio and microwave irradiation time on acid value of oil was studied. Result suggested that 1.5% $H_2SO_4$ (w/w), 6:1 methanol oil molar ratio and 3 min microwave irradiation time was sufficient to reduce the acid value of oil from 12 and 22 mg KOH/g to 2.9 and 3.9 mg/KOH/g, respectively. Oil obtained after pretreatment was subsequently used for microwave assisted alkali catalyzed transesterification. A higher biodiesel yield (99.0%) was achieved by adopting two step processes. Microwave energy efficiency during alkali catalyzed transesterification was also investigated. The results suggested a significant energy saving because of reduced reaction time under microwave heating.

Changes in lipid components of Gul-bi, salted-dried yellow corvenia, during processing and storage were studied. Raw fishes contained $6.7\%$ total lipid (TL) which consisted of $83.3\%$ neutral lipid (NL), $6.5\%$ glycolipid (GL) and $10.2\%$ phospholipid (PL), and salted-dried sample at 30 days storage contained $11.1\%$ TL which consisted of $86.1\% NL, $7.1\%$ GL and $6.8\%$ PL. The NL was mainly consisted of trigly ceride (TG), free sterol (FS), free fatty acid (FFA), and the main lipids in PL were phosphatidyl choline (PC), phosphatidly ethanolamine (PE) and sphingomyelin (SPM). The contents of TG, PC, PE decreased, while that of FFA, SPM increased during processing and storage. Total fatty acid contents of raw fish, salted sample, salted-dried sample (product) and product at 30/days of storage were 847.9, 764.0, 633.5 and 588.mg/g-lipid, respectively, taking $C_{23:0}$ as the internal standard material. Most fatty acid con tents of TL revealed a tendency to decrease during processing and storage, highly unsaturated fatty acid such as $C_{22:6},\;C_{20:5}$, decreased largely. The major fatty acids in TL, NL, GL and PL were generally $C_{16:0},\;C_{16:1},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{20:5},\;C_{22:6}. Percentage of $C_{16:1},\;C_{18:1}$ in NL and GL and GL are higher than those in PL, while $C_{22:6},\;C_{20:5},\;C_{20:4}$. Peroxide value in salted-dried sample is 121.6 meq/kg and decreased rapidly with storage period, carbonyl value and brown pigment formation showed tendency of increase during processing and storage.
