  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Over the past 10 yrs, the prevalence of diabetes in Korea has continued to incline, and the importance of lifestyle modification to manage diabetes has been highlighted. For patients with diabetes, carbohydrate intake reduction is effective in improving glycemic control; thus, we aimed to analyze the effect of carbohydrate intake ratio and suggest an appropriate carbohydrate intake ratio. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Using the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019-2021), we analyzed the data including participants aged 30 yrs or older with diabetes, and they were stratified into good and poor glycemic control groups. To analyze the correlation between the dietary behavior characteristics of participants with diabetes and the carbohydrate intake ratio, sociodemographic characteristics, dietary behavior, and health behavior were adjusted, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to present the adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: In the unadjusted crude model, when carbohydrate intake ratio in total energy intake increased by 1%, the likelihood of poor glycemic control increased by 1.007-fold (95% CI, 0.998-1.016; P = 0.121). In model 1, which uses age and sex as adjustment variables, an increase of up to 1.011-fold was possible (95% CI, 1.001-1.021; P = 0.008). In model 2, which added variables such as diabetes duration, frequency of fruit consumption, frequency of lunch and, frequency of dinner, the risk of poor glycemic control increased by 1.010-fold as the carbohydrate intake ratio increased (95% CI, 0.998-1.022; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: This study confirmed that as the ratio of carbohydrate intake to total energy intake increases the likelihood of poor glycemic control also increases in patients with diabetes. Therefore, to improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes, controlling the carbohydrate intake may be helpful.

  • 본 연구는 환경오염원으로 대두되고 있는 생활 폐기물인 남은 음식물에 미생물 lactobacillus와 bacillus를 3:7의 비율로 첨가하여 발효공정을 거친 후, 일부원료와 혼합하여 돼지 사료원으로서 영양적 가치 및 안전성을 검사하였고, 이들 발효 남은 음식물을 양돈사료에 직접적으로 이용하기 위해 완전혼합사료를 제조하여 돼지에게 급여했을 때 돼지의 생산성, 도체특성 및 경제성을 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 실험처리군은 발효 남은 음식물을 구성하는 발효펠렛사료와 시판사료를 다양한 비율(T1: 펠렛사료 $100\%$, T2: 펠렛사료 $75\%$+시판사료 $25\%$, T3: 펠렛사료 $50\%$+시판사료 $50\%$, T4: 펠렛사료 $25\%$+시판사료 $75\%$, T5: 시판사료 $100\%$)로 혼합하여 처리군당 육성돈을 4두씩 배치하여 총 20두의 돼지가 본 연구에 사용되었다. 사양시험기간은 10주간 지속되었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1 발효 남은 음식물의 수분과 단백질 및 에테르추출물함량은 각각 56.7, 19.5 및 $19.5\%$로 높은 비율을 나타내었고, 염분함량은 $0.39\%$로 나타났다. 2. 발효 남은 음식물 내에서 유해미생물인 살모넬라 및 대장균이 검출되지 않았고, 중금속 및 아플라톡신 B1은 기준치 이하로 나타났다. 3. 발효 남은 음식물 펠렛사료의 영양소 함량은 한국사양표준의 요구량을 $100\%$이상 충족시켰다. 4. 사양시험 성적은 남은 음식물 펠렛사료 혼합비율이 증가함에 따라 사료섭취량이 유의하게 감소하였고(P<0.05), 경제성과 증체율을 고려하면 $75\%$ 혼합비율이 가장 이상적이었다. 5. 도체성적은 발효 남은 음식물 펠렛사료 $50\%$ 혼합구에서 도체율이 가장 높았고, 도체등급은 펠렛사료 $25\%,\;50\%,\;75\%$군에서 모두 A등급을 나타내었다. 6. 제조된 발효 남은 음식물 펠렛사료의 가격은 167.95원으로 일반 시판사료 350원/kg의 약 $52\%$로 사료비 절약효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 결과는 발효 남은 음식물사료가 농가의 사료비감소에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 남은 음식물의 사료로서 이용은 환경오염감소와 유기축산의 실천에 기여할 것으로 사료된다. 하지만, 본 연구결과에서 과도한 양의 발효 남은 음식물의 급여는 기호성 감소 및 돼지의 성장지연을 초래할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

  • 젖소의 에너지 및 단백질 영양상태를 평가할 수 있는 MP와 MUN을 측정하여 농장의 사료급여 실태를 평가하기 위해서 1999년 1월부터 2001년 12월까지 전국 4,856개 목장, 132,636두를 대상으로 유성분을 측정하였다. 조사된 개체유의 평균 MP와 MUN 수준은 각각 3.30${\pm}$0.35%와 16.0${\pm}$5.2mg/dl였으며, MP에 있어서는 3.10${\sim}$3.20%를 중심으로, MUN은 15.0mg/dl을 중심으로 하는 정규곡선을 나타내었다. 계절별 MP와 MUN의 수준은 외기 온도가 높은 하절기에는 MP의 함량이 3.2% 이하로 감소한 반면, MUN 수준은 16.5mg/dl 이상으로 가장 높았고, 반대로 동절기에는 MP가 3.35% 이상으로 가장 높았으며, MUN 수준은 15.0mg/ dl 이하로 가장 낮았다. MP 함량과 MUN 농도와의 관계에서는 MP가 정상 기준보다 낮은 2.90% 미만에서는 MUN 농도가 전체 평균보다도 높았고(17.3${\pm}$5.2mg/dl), MP가 정상 기준보다도 높은 3.70% 이상에서는 전체 평균과 비슷한 수준을 나타내었다. 개체유 및 집합유를 대상으로 MP 및 MUN 측정에 의한 사료내 에너지와 단백질 균형상태를 예측하였다. 그 결과 전반적으로 단백질은 부족보다는 과다가, 그리고 에너지는 과다보다는 부족이 많은 것으로 조사되었으며, 그 중에서도 비유초기에는 에너지 부족이, 비유말기에는 단백질 과다가 상대적으로 많은 것으로 조사되어 국내의 경우 무엇보다도 에너지 및 단백질의 균형적인 사료공급의 필요성이 제시되었다.

  • 본 연구는 한국 재래돼지의 도축전 절식과 숙성이 longissimus dorsi(LD), biceps femoris(BF) and triceps brachii(TB)의 육질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 18 시간동안 절식은 LD에서 유의적으로(P < 0.05) 높은 최종 pH을 보였고, BF도 유사한 경향을 나타냈다. 근육 온도는 절식유무에 영향을 받지않아, 이 결과는 각 처리구의 돼지들은 각기 다른 온도와 pH의 영향을 받았다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 영향은 LD의 경우 절식을 하지 않은 돼지에서 유의적으로 높은(P < 0.05) hunter $L^*$ 값과 가열감량에서 나타났다. 하지만 전단력은 차이가 없었다. 또한 BF와 TB의 육질은 도축전 절식유무에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. LD에서 전단력은 숙성 7일까지 감소하였고, BF와 TB는 14일까지 유의적으로(P < 0.05) 감소했다. 숙성기간중 LD와 BF, 그리고 LD와 TB의 상관관계를 보았을 때, LD의 전단력 6kg은 BF와 TB에서 각각 6과 3.5 kg을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면, 도축전 급여는 시각적인 육색은 개선하나, 가열감량을 증가시켜 맛은 감소시킬 것으로 판단되었다. 한편 LD의 숙성은 7일이 적절한 것으로 나타났고, TB와 같이 근본적으로 연한 고기는 숙성은 가열감량을 증가시키므로 숙성하지 않는 것이 바람직하다고 판단되었다. BF와 TB에서는 14일 숙성은 연도는 증가하나 다즙성은 감소할 것으로 판단되었다.

  • 홀스타인 착유우에 수입건초 대신 WCRS로 조사료 일부를 대체 급여하였을 때 산유성적 및 수익성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 대조구(C)는 농가 관행 급여방법으로 자가 혼합건초(13kg)와 농후사료(2.6~9.6kg), 오차드그라스 및 버뮤다그라스 건초(1.8kg)를 급여 하였고, 처리구(T)는 자가 혼합건초(9.6kg)와 농후사료(2.6~9.6kg) 및 WCRS (2.2kg)를 급여하였다. 건물수량(DMI)을 기준으로 C에 대한 T의 조사료 대체비율은 20% 였다. CP함량은 오차드그라스 및 버뮤다그라스 건초가 각각 11.3 및 8.4%였고, WCRS는 4.6%로, WCRS에서 낮았다. 이는 벼를 수확적기보다 약 30일정도 늦게 수확한 것에 기인하고 있다. DMI는 비유초기, 중기 및 후기에서 각각 T가 C보다 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 유량은 비유초기, 중기 및 후기 모두 처리간 유의적 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 실험 기간 중 평균유량도 C 및 T가 각각 26.9 및 26.3kg으로 처리간 유의적인 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 유지율, 유단백 및 총고형물에서 각 비유기 공히 처리 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 두당 조수입은 C가 21,141원, T가 21,915원으로 T에서 다소 높게 나타났다. 유사비는 T가 22.9%로 C의 27.8%보다 낮았다. 이상에서 수입산 건초 대신 WCRS로 20% 대체 급여하여도 산유량 및 유성분에 유의적인 차이가 없으며 수익은 높아 경제성이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

  • As a result of the cost of grains, the replacement of grains by co-products (i.e. DDGS) in feedlot diets is a common practice. This change produces diets that contain a lower amount of starch and greater amount of fibre. Hypothetically, combining feed grade urea (U) with slow release urea (Optigen) in this type of diet should elicit a better synchrony between starch (high-rate of digestion) and fibre (low-rate of digestion) promoting a better microbial protein synthesis and ruminal digestion with increasing the digestible energy of the diet. Four cannulated Holstein steers ($213{\pm}4$ kg) were used in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design to examine the combination of Optigen and U in a finishing diet containing different starch:acid detergent fibre ratios (S:F) on the characteristics of digestive function. Three S:F ratios (3.0, 4.5, and 6.0) were tested using a combination of U (0.80%) and Optigen (1.0%). Additionally, a treatment of 4.5 S:F ratio with urea (0.80% in ration) as the sole source of non-protein nitrogen was used to compare the effect of urea combination at same S:F ratio. The S:F ratio of the diet was manipulated by replacing the corn grain by dried distillers grain with solubles and roughage. Urea combination did not affect ruminal pH. The S:F ratio did not affect ruminal pH at 0 and 2 h post-feeding but, at 4 and 6 h, the ruminal pH decreased as the S:F ratio increased (linear, p<0.05). Ruminal digestion of OM, starch and feed N were not affected by urea combination or S:F ratio. The urea combination did not affect ADF ruminal digestion. ADF ruminal digestion decreased linearly (p = 0.02) as the S:F ratio increased. Compared to the urea treatment (p<0.05) and within the urea combination treatment (quadratic, p<0.01), the flow of microbial nitrogen (MN) to the small intestine and ruminal microbial efficiency were greater for the urea combination at a S:F ratio of 4.5. Irrespective of the S:F ratio, the urea combination improved (2.8%, p = 0.02) postruminal N digestion. As S:F ratio increased, OM digestion increased, but ADF total tract digestion decreased. The combination of urea at 4.5 S:F improved (2%, p = 0.04) the digestible energy (DE) more than expected. Combining urea and Optigen resulted in positive effects on the MN flow and DE of the diet, but apparently these advantages are observed only when there is a certain proportion of starch:ADF in the diet.

  • Tight control of blood glucose is the most important strategy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Here, we investigated the beneficial effects of Welsh onion on fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia. Inhibitory activities of hot water extracts from the green stalk and white bulb, which are the edible portions of the Welsh onion, and the fibrous root extract against yeast ${\alpha}$-glucosidase were measured in vitro. To study the effects of Welsh onion on postprandial hyperglycemia, a starch solution (1 g/kg) with and without Welsh onion fibrous root extract (500 mg/kg) or acarbose (50 mg/kg) was administered to streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats after an overnight fast. Postprandial plasma glucose levels were measured and incremental areas under the response curve were calculated. To study the hypoglycemic effects of chronic feeding of Welsh onion, five-week-old db/db mice were fed an AIN-93G diet or a diet containing either Welsh onion fibrous root extract at 0.5% or acarbose at 0.05% for 7 weeks after 1 week of adaptation. Fasting plasma glucose and blood glycated hemoglobin were measured. Compared to the extract from the edible portions of Welsh onion, the fibrous root extract showed stronger inhibition against yeast ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, with an $IC_{50}$ of 239 ${\mu}g/mL$. Oral administration of Welsh onion fibrous root extract (500 mg/kg) and acarbose (50 mg/kg) significantly decreased incremental plasma glucose levels 30-120 min after oral ingestion of starch as well as the area under the postprandial glucose response curve, compared to the control group (P < 0.01). The plasma glucose and blood glycated hemoglobin levels of the Welsh onion group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.01), and were not significantly different from those fed acarbose. Thus, we conclude that the fibrous root of Welsh onion is effective in controlling hyperglycemia in animal models of diabetes mellitus.

  • BACKGROUD/OBEJECTIVES: This study aims to find out the effects of peanut sprout extracts on weight controls and protein expressions of transcription factors related to adipocyte differentiation and adipocytokine in rats under high-fat diets. MATERIALS/METHODS: Four week-old Sparague-Dawley (SD) were assigned to 4 groups; normal-fat (NF) diets (7% fat diet), high-fat (HF) diets (20% fat diet), high fat diets with low peanut sprout extract (HF + PSEL) diet (20% fat and 0.025% peanut sprout extract), and high fat diets with high peanut sprout extract (HF + PSEH) diet (20% fat and 0.05% peanut sprout extract). Body weight changes, lipid profiles in adipose tissue, and the mRNA protein expressions, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$), CCAAT element binding protein ${\alpha}$ (C/EBP ${\alpha}$), leptin, and adiponectin, were determined. RESULTS: After 9 weeks of feeding, the HF + PSEH group had significantly less weight gains than the HF group (P < 0.05). However, the total dietary intakes or food efficiency ratios among groups were not significantly different. The weight of epididymal fat in HF + PSEH group, $3.61{\pm}0.5g$, or HF + PSEL group, $3.80{\pm}0.7g$, was significantly lower than the HF group, $4.39{\pm}0.4g$, (P < 0.05). Total lipids and total cholesterol in adipose tissue were significantly decreased in HF + PSEH group compared to those in the HF group, respectively (P < 0.05). PSEH supplementation caused AST and ALT levels to decrease when it compared to HF group, but it was not statistically significant. The protein expression of $PPAR{\gamma}$ in HF + PSEH group was significantly lower than the HF group (P < 0.05). Comparing with the HF group, the protein expression of adiponectin in HF + PSEH group was significantly increased (P < 0.05). The protein expressions of C/EBP ${\alpha}$ and leptin in HF + PSEH group were lower than the HF group, but it was not statistical significant. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, peanut sprout extract has anti-obesity effect by lowering the expressions of $PPAR{\gamma}$ which regulates the expression of adiponectin.
