In relation to the global increase trend of obesity population, there is a demand for the development of foods having high functional activity by mass-extracting anti-obesity active substances using mulberry product such as leaf and fruit. Therefore, we evaluated the antiobesity efficacy according to varieties by using the mulberry leaves and fruit extracts. At the same time, high active varieties were selected. For this purpose, the effects of the extracts of the mulberry leaf and fruit on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation were examined. As a result, in the case of mulberry leaves, the lipid accumulation inhibitory rate of 'Cheongolppong' was higher than that of the control at $500{\mu}g/ml$ treatment. And in the case of the extract of mulberry fruit, 'Daesim' showed the highest lipid accumulation inhibitory rate compared with the control at 50 times of diluted extract.

Our studies in the area of single electron transfer (SET) photochemistry have led to the discovery of efficient processes, in which regioselective formation of carbon-centered radicals takes place by nucleophile assisted desilylation of $\alpha$-trialkylsilyl substituted ether, thioether, amine and amide centered cation radicals. The rates of bimolecular desilylation of the intermediate cation radicals exceed those of other cation radical $\alpha$-fragmentation processes (e.g.,-deprotonation). This sereves as the basis for the design of highly regioselective, SET-induced photomacrocyclization reactions of polyether, polythioether, polyamide, and polypeptide linked phthalimides. Photocyclization reactions of trimethylsilyl-terminated substrates in these families are unique in that they produce polyfunctionalized macrocyclic substances in a highly efficient and regioselective manner. In addition, our studies in this area have led to important information about the factors that govern chemical and quantum efficiencies that should be applicable to a wide variety of redox processes promoted by SET from substrates containing more than one electron donor site.

The cerebral microvessels possess barrier characteristics which are tightly sealed excluding many toxic substances and protecting neural tissues. The specialized blood-neural barriers as well as the cerebral microvascular barrier are recognized in the retina, inner ear, spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid. Microvascular endothelial cells in the brain closely interact with other components such as astrocytes, pericytes, perivascular microglia and neurons to form functional 'neurovascular unit'. Communication between endothelial cells and other surrounding cells enhances the barrier functions, consequently resulting in maintenance and elaboration of proper brain homeostasis. Furthermore, the disruption of the neurovascular unit is closely involved in cerebrovascular disorders. In this review, we focus on the location and function of these various blood-neural barriers, and the importance of the cell-to-cell communication for development and maintenance of the barrier integrity at the neurovascular unit. We also demonstrate the close relation between the alteration of the blood-neural barriers and cerebrovascular disorders.

Milk components and their derivatives are a rich source of bioactive substances and play a central role in the development of functional foods. Many scientific evidences have shown that milk proteins have a biological health-promoting functionality. However, in recent times, dairy calcium and growth factors derived from milk have been misunderstood to cause diseases such as osteoporosis or cancer. This review focuses on the importance of milk-derived growth factors and some minor active components and briefly considers the emerging trends of personalized nutrition in future dairy research and development.

The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) generates the powerful vasoconstrictor angiotensin II by removing the C-terminal dipeptide from the precursor decapeptide angiotensin I (1). The enzyme also inactivates the vasodilator bradykinin (2). There have been many studies on ACE inhibitory substances as functional in food, and ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated (3-5).

A large number of natural products were worldwidely discovered from maine organisms. There are many secondary metabolites produced by maine organisms which showed very strong bio-activities and distinct bio-active mechanisms. In korea, about 350 secondary metabolites including more than 280 novel compounds have been isolated and structually defined. Many researches for developing products such as cosmetics, functional food materials, anti-fouling substances are being performed using distinct activities of marine organisms. Although the research on marine natural products has been remained at its initial or developing stage of drug development, significant progress has been made for isolation, structure determination and bioassay of secondary metabolites.

Functionalized organic polymers have been used as supports for heterogenized homogeneous catalytic process[1]. Sprcific advantages of using these resins as support reagents have been reviewed[2-4]. These include: -ease of by-product separation from the main reaction product usuallyby simple filtration. -prevention of intermolecular reaction of reactive species or functional groups by simulating high dilution conditions[5]. -utility of the "fish-hook" principle in which a minor component in fished out of a large excess substrate by the insoluble polymer[6]. -the possibility of reusing recovered reagents as well as eliminating the use of volatile or noxious substances[7]. Catalysis by ion-exchange membranes is perhaps one of the latest examples of the use of a polymer-supported species. Conceptually, catalysts on membrane supports offer several possible advantages over traditional powder type systems. They are: (1) Membranes immobilize the catalyst, preventing agglomeration. (2) Filtration is unnecessary for the catalyst separation and so complete catalyst recovery is facilitated. (3) Catalytyic and separation processes can be combined, allowing membrane supported catalysts for the continous flow reactors. reactors.

Television food advertisement is the most effective way to reach to consumers with food and nutritional informations and affect their eating behavior. Therefore, 218 food commercials were reviewed using video tapes and copies to know the present food product trends, food messages they transmit and define misleading food commercials. Messages were focused on the benefit of health promoting substances they contain, especially for functional food components, fortified nutrients, food safety focused on food additives, convenience and differentiation with other products. Overnutrition on specific nutrients could be expected due to nutrient fortified products and misleading of food commercials were also noted. Regarding trends, guidelines provided by television broadcasting company shoud be fortified in the connection of Food Hygine Law and supervision committe should reinforce the food company to summit data for the approval of their advertisement claims. Nutrition educational spot program shoud be produced and broadcasted for the public to protect the consumer from food faddism in near future.

혈중 콜레스테롤 저하작용이 있는 monacolin K 고함유 홍국쌀 생산을 위해 2종의 홍국 균주와 7종의 쌀 품종을 사용하여 홍국쌀을 생산하였다. 생산된 홍국쌀의 monacolin K 함량을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 발효된 홍국쌀의 색은 균주에 비해 품종에 따라 차이가 크게 나는 경향이었으며, 상주찰벼가 붉은 색소 함량이 높았지만, monacolin K 생산량과 붉은 색소의 정도가 상관관계가 크다고 판단할 수 없다. 2. 홍국추출물을 UPLC로 이용하여 활성형 monacolin K와 비활성형 monacolin K가 분리 되었고, LC-MS/MS로 분자량을 확인한 결과, 활성형과 비활성형 monacolin K의 선구이온(precursor ion)은 각각 m/z 421, 405였고, 생성이온(product ion) 중 활성형은 m/z 101,319, 비활성형은 m/z 199, 285의 분자량을 확인하였다. 3. M. ruber KCTC6122과 M. ruber KCCM60141 균주를 이용하여 쌀 품종별로 생산한 홍국쌀의 monacolin K 함량을 분석한 결과, 상주찰벼가 각각 47.24, 117.03ppm으로 가장 많은 함량을 나타내었다. 4. 7종의 품종을 비교했을 때, M. ruber KCCM60141이 KCTC6122과 비교하여 monacolin K 생산량이 더 높은 균주이고, 그 중 상주찰벼를 이용하는 것이 홍국쌀 생산에 적절한 품종 선택이라고 판단된다.
