3-hydroxy-3-methyglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGR)는 phytoalexin을 포함하는 수 많은 isoprenoid화합물의 생합성을 조절하는 효소이다. 토마토의 경우 sesquiterpenoid phytoalexin류가 식물방어를 위한 반응산물로서 축적되는 것이 알려져 있다. Verticil-lium albo-atrum이나 Fusarium oxysporum으로부터 추출한 elicitor를 토마토의 배양세포에 처리하는 경우 처리량의 증가에 따른 2.7kb 크기의 HMGR mRNA의 상당한 유도증가가 토마토의 HMG2 DNA를 이용한 northern hybridization에 의해 관찰되었다. 토마토의 잎, 뿌리, 줄기 등에 기계적 상해를 가하는 경우에서도 HMGR mRNA는 2단계를 걸쳐 증가함이 관찰되었다. HMGR mRNA는 양 실험의 경우 모두 9시간에서 12시간 사이에서 최대발현됨이 관찰되었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the supplementary effects of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol extracted from rice bran on lipid metabolism in diabetic mice. We supplied 2 kinds of experimental diets (CO without and GO with 0.2％ ${\gamma}$-oryzanol) to diabetic mice for 8 weeks. Diet intake, body weight, organ weight, contents of serum and hepatic lipid profiles, and fecal lipid levels were measured. Though there was no significant difference in diet intake, body weight change and organ weight between experimental groups, the concentration of serum total cholesterol and hepatic total lipid, total cholesterol and HMG-CoA reductase activity was significantly lower in GO group treated with 0.2％ ${\gamma}$-oryzanol of diet than CO group after supplementary period of experimental diets. And total lipid, triglyceride, total cholesterol, and bile acid levels excreted to feces were significantly higher in GO group than CO group. These results suggest that ${\gamma}$-oryzanol decrease the serum and hepatic lipid levels by lowing HMG-CoA reductase activity or increasing the contents of fecal lipid in diabetic KK mice.

The objective of this in vitro study is to screen a possible inhibitor, originated from some chinese herb medicines, of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase that is the major regulatory enzyme of hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis. Fourteen kinds of herbal plant were extracted with water and evaporated for prescreening. The methanol extracts of the effective 3 kinds (9 species) were fractionated with chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol and water, and vacuum evaporated. The degree of inhibition of the extracts to HMG-CoA reductase activity was calculated by the spectrophotometric method using microsomal protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 42949 as an enzyme source. Among these samples, marked inhibitory effects were observed in the extracts of ethylacetate and chloroform fractions of the Rosa rugosa roots, and those of butanol, ehtylacetate and water fractions of pine leaves. Also, the inhibitory effects of the extracts obtained from buckwheat shell and the roots of Rosaceae were found.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Artemisia capillaries on gene expression of lipid metabolism in rats. Methods : The author performed several experimental items to analyze the total cholesterol and triglyceride in liver tissue, the gene expressions of CYP7A1 and HMG-CoA reductase. Results : 1. In Artemisia capillaries group, the levels of total cholesterol in liver tissue were significantly decreased. 2. In Artemisia capillaries group, the ratios of CYP7A1, HMG-CoA reductase were as same as the normal group. Conclusions : From the above results, Artemisia capillaries can be used to treat hyperlipidemia.

In this paper, we explore the electrical properties and high-frequency performance of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs), based on the non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) solved self - consistently with Poisson's equations. The calculated results show that CNTFETs exhibit superior performance compared with graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistors (GNRFETs), such as better control ability of the gate on the channel, higher drive current with lower subthreshold leakage current, and lower subthreshold-swing (SS). Due to larger band-structure-limited velocity in CNTFETs, ballistic CNTFETs present better high-frequency performance limit than that of Si MOSFETs. The parameter effects of CNTFETs are also investigated. In addition, to enhance the immunity against short - channel effects (SCE), hetero - material - gate CNTFETs (HMG-CNTFETs) have been proposed, and we present a detailed numerical simulation to analyze the performances of scaling down, and conclude that HMG-CNTFETs can meet the ITRS'10 requirements better than CNTs.

An extensive investigation of the influence of gate engineering on the CNTFET switching, high frequency and circuit level performance has been carried out. At device level, the effects of gate engineering on the switching and high frequency characteristics for CNTFET have been theoretically investigated by using a quantum kinetic model. It is revealed that hetero - material - gate CNTFET(HMG - CNTFET) structure can significantly reduce leakage current, enhance control ability of the gate on channel, and is more suitable for use in low power and high frequency circuits. At circuit level, using the HSPICE with look - up table(LUT) based Verilog - A models, the performance parameters of circuits have been calculated and the optimum combinations of ${\Phi}_{M1}/{\Phi}_{M2}/{\Phi}_{M3}$ have been concluded in terms of power consumption, average delay, stability, energy consumption and power - delay product(PDP). We show that, compared to a traditional CNTFET - based circuit, the one based on HMG - CNTFET has a significantly better performance (SNM, energy, PDP). In addition, results also illustrate that HMG - CNTFET circuits have a consistent trend in delay, power, and PDP with respect to the transistor size, indicating that gate engineering of CNTFETs is a promising technology. Our results may be useful for designing and optimizing CNTFET devices and circuits.

Twenty-four Oriental herbal medicines including Platycodi Radix and Scutellariae Radix, etc., which have been used for the cure of hyperlipidemia, coronary heart, disease were evaluated for the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A(HMG-CoA) reductase inhibition and antioxidant effect on a free radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) in vitro, and antihyperlipidemic effect on hyperlipidemic rats induced by Triton WR-1339 in vivo. 80% MeOH extract of eight herbs including Scutellariae Radix, Coptidis Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix Rubra, Moutan Cortex Radicis, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Bambusae Caulis in Taeniam, Cinnamomi Ramulus and Crataegi Fructus inhibited the HMG-CoA reductase activities and exhibited a radical-trapping action on a stable free radical, DPPH. On Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic rats, four herbs including Scutellariae Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Bambusae Caulis in Taeniam and Cinnamomi Ramulus showed respectively the significant suppression of serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid and LDL-cholesterol levels and serum transaminase(ALT and AST) activities. From these results, it is suggested that each 80% MeOH extract of Scutellariae Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Bambusae Caulis in Taeniam and Cinnamomi Ramulus have effective antihyperlipidemic action against hyperlipidemia.
