This study was conducted to find sensitive indicator of food intake and specific food group related to cognitive function and to analyze the pathway among factors affecting food intake and cognitive function of the aged. 179 people over 50 years old were investigated and all the data were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 package. Food frequency was more sensitive indicator to show the relationship between food intake and cognitive function of the aged than the numbers of standard amount of food eaten. Consumption of grains and starch, meat, fish, eggs and beans were strongly related to cognitive function of the aged and intake of vegetables and fruits also have relationship with it. Moreover, the more frequent eating the carbohydrate and the protein, the higher the cognitive level of the aged. Age, education period, income, blood pressure, duration after retirement, frequency of physical activity and BMI were correlated with food intake and cognitive function of the aged. Among them, age and frequency of physical activity were most strongly correlated with food intake, and education period with cognitive function of them. This investigation shows that more stable intake of carbohydrate and protein containing foods need to be supplied to low income aged and the importance of physical activity of the aged must be emphasized with food intake for better life of the aged.

Permeability of resveratrol, piceid, rhapontigenin, and rhaponticin in Caco-2 cell assays using high-performance liquid chromatography were compared. Caco-2 cell monolayers were used to evaluate the transport rates of stilbene analogues from the apical to the basolateral sides. All stilbenes experimented in this study were transported to the basolateral side by times. For comparing the permeability of 4 stilbenes, we calculated the slope of the cumulative concentration of each stilbene in basolateral sides over time, resulting in those values of resveratrol, piceid, rhapontigenin, and rhaponticin with $3.766{\times}10^{-5}$, $4.330{\times}10^{-6}$, $5.430{\times}10^{-5}$, and $2.458{\times}10^{-5}\;{\mu}M/sec$, respectively. Apparent permeability coefficient of resveratrol and rhapontigenin were calculated to $9.994{\times}10^{-6}$ and $1.441{\times}10^{-6}\;cm/sec$, respectively, while those of piceid and rhaponticin were to $1.149{\times}10^{-7}$ and $6.523{\times}10^{-7}\;cm/sec$, respectively. These results suggest that aglycones would be absorbed more effectively than glycosides in stilbenoids.

Butyl $\rho$-hydroxybenzoic acid (butyl paraben, BP) is a homologous series of parabens and is widely used as a preservative in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. The purpose of this study was to investigate the estrogenic/antiandrogenic activities of BP in animals. For that, we performed an uterotrophic assay and a Hershberger assay in rats. In uterotrophic assay, BP was administered subcutaneously to immature female SD rats (18 days old) for 3 consecutive days. The wet and dry uterus weights were significantly increased in the groups treated with BP in dose­dependent manner. In case of Hershberger assay, BP significantly reduced the weight of seminal vesicle of castrated rats. And other accessory organ/glands - prostate, Cowper's glands, bulbocavernosus muscle and glans penis were also slightly decreased. The results of this study suggested that BP showed estrogenic and anti-androgenic activities in vivo.

진세노사이드 Rd가 지방세포분화에 미치는 영향을 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 진세노사이드 Rd는 3T-L1지방세포모델에 있어 효과적으로 지방분화를 억제한다. 2. 진세노사이드 Rd는 세포내 에너지대사의 필수 단백질인 AMPK를 활성화시키고 또한 지방분화과정에 발현 및 활성이 증가하는 PPAR 감마의 활성을 효과적으로 억제한다. 이상의 결과로 진세노사이드 Rd는 세포내 에너지대사를 촉진하여 지방축적 억제에 탁월한 효과를 보일 것으로 사료된다.

Agaricus bisporus, also known as white button mushroom, is one of the most popular mushrooms consumed in Korea. This mushroom contains high concentrations of flavanoids and exhibits antioxidant activity. In this study, we examined the effects of Agaricus bisporus ethanol extract (ABE) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells. Nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein levels were assessed in cells treated with $100\;{\mu}M$ LPS in the presence or absence of ABE. 0.5 mg/mL of ABE suppressed NO production significantly. Moreover, ABE inhibited levels of iNOS protein. Taken together, these results suggest that ABE exerts anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells.

The degree of milling is an important factor in terms of the nutritional value and the economic return of the milled rice. This study was to investigate the changes in compositions of the oils obtained from rice with different degree of milling. The content of total tocols in rice significantly (p＜0.05) decreased, as degree of milling increased. The relative ％ of -tocopherol in brown rice had lower than those in milled rices whereas the relative ％ of -tocotrienol, and -tocotrienol in brown rice higher than those in milled rices. -Oryzanol content significantly (P<0.05) decreased from 198.5 mg/kg rice for brown rice (0% milling) to 65.5 125.0 mg/kg rice for rice samples with 5.6, 8.0, and 9.6 ％ milling. -Sitosterol was most abundant sterol representing 50 ％ - 56% of the total sterol content in all analyzed samples. The content of total sterol as well as each sterol isomers in rice significantly (P<0.05) decreased, as degree of milling increased. A similar trend was observed in changes of octacosanol and squalene.

This study was carried out to find out the effect of dietary intake on cognitive function retardation in old age using dietary survey and cognitive function test. The subjects were 332 men of 50-94 years old and their activities of daily living were very similar. The cognitive function was tested by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)-K which was translated from MMSE, and the 24-hour recall method was used for dietary survey. Scoring of MMSE-K was a little different from MMSE, that is, in case of no education, one to four points were added to exclude the effect of education which has been considered as a confounder by many researchers. The number of subjects belonging to below 23 of MMSE-K score was increased by increasing age. Even though points were added in case of no education, the ratio of below 23 MMSE-K score group was diminished by increasing education. Therefore, education seems not to be a confounder but a independent variable on cognitive function. Income, past occupation, family type, self-evaluated health status did not play any effect on cognitive function significantly. On the other hand, the correlation between each nutrients and the score of cognitive function test showed that the more consumption of vitamin A and protein, the higher cognitive function score was obtained. In case of iron and Ca, even though it was not statistically significant, there was a tendency of increasing cognitive function score by increasing the intake of those nutrients. This study suggests that micronutrient intakes might be more related to cognitive function than macronutrients.

Alcohol oxidation activities and optimization of extraction conditions of Rrhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) extract were evaluated for the development of a functional biomaterial for improving liver function. When alcohol oxidation activities of RVS was analyzed, the Rrhus verniciflua Stokes bark (RVSB) were higher than the Rrhus verniciflua Stokes heartwood (RVSH). Alcohol oxidation activity value of RVSB increased in a concentration-dependent manner. In the comparative analysis between Hovenia dulcis Thunb (HOT) and Alnus japonica Steud (AJS) which was reported as a alcohol oxidation material, alcohol oxidation activity is much higher than the others. The experimental conditions were optimized for alcohol oxidation-active components production from RVSB. The extraction conditions such as temperature, time, pH and particle size were performed. It was recommended to extract the alcohol oxidation-active components from RVSB by hot water (pH 7.0) at $85^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours.
