Effects of root, stem and leaf extract of sancho (Zanthoxylum schinifolium) on the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in the hepatic microsome of rat, DPPH radical scavenging activity and activated partial thromboplastin times (APTT) were examined in vitro. The highest inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation was observed by ethyl acetate fraction than that of methylene chloride fraction of the root and stem extracts. The high inhibition of lipid peroxidation was determined in the leaf, the root and the stem in order. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of ethyl acetate fraction was higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extract. It was similar to the inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in 2.500mg/mL of ethyl acetate fraction and it was 4.4 fold higher than that of $\alpha-tocopherol$, as an antioxidant standard. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was dependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.125-5.000 mg/mL. The throm-boplastin times were higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extracts. The leaf extract showed the highest antithrombogenic effect followed by the stem and then the root extract. The activated partial thromboplastin times were ependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.100-2.000 mg/mL. Consequently, the effects of antioxidative, DPPH radical scavenging activity and antithrombogenic of Z. schinifolium was observed due to the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the DPPH radical scavenging activity by methylene chloride, n-butanol and ethyl acetate fraction of the leaf extract.

This study was done to investigate the effects of different dietary oils on hepatic mitochondrial lipid compositon, adenine nucleotide translocase(AdNT) and ATPase activities in carcinogen treated rats. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 50∼60g, were fed three different types of dietary oil, beef tallow(BT), corn oil(CO) and sardine oil(SO) at 15% by weight for 14 weeks. Three weeks after feeding rats were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of diethylnitrosamine(200mg/Kg BW). After five weeks rate fed 0.02% acetylaminofluorene contating diet for 6 weeks, and after seven weeks 0.05% phenobarbital containing diet for 7 weeks. At 14th week, rats were sacrificed and hepatic mitochondrial lipid composition, AdNT and ATPase activities were determined. Percent liver weight per body weight was significantly by carcinogen treatment. Analysis of mitochondrial lipid composition showed that body cholesterol and phospholipid contents were not affected by dietary oils but significantly increased by carcinogen treatment. Individual phospholipid composition as well as phosphatidyl ethanolamine/phosphatidyl choline ratio were altered by either dietary oils or carcinogen treatment. Fatty acid composition was changed by dietary oils but not much by carcinogen treatment. AdNT activity was affected by dietary oils in only carcinogen treated groups. ATPase activity was affected by dietary oils in only carcinogen nontreated groups. These data indicate that both dietary oils and caricinogen treatment can change mitochondrial lipid composition and thereby change AdNT and ATPase activities. Particularly effects of carcinogen treatment on cholesterol/phopholipid ratio, phospholipid compositon and ATPase activity were different among dietary oil groups. Therefore it is suggested that different dietary oils can somewhat modulate the changes of mitochnodrial lipid composition and membrane bound enzyme activites during hepatocarcinogenesis.

Objectives: The goal of this study was to investigate the anti-lipogenic effects of Samhwangsasim-tang(SHT), Daehwanghwangryunsasim-tang(DHT) aqueous extract on HepG2 cells with palmitate. Materials and Methods: HepG2 cells treated with palmitate were used in this study as hepatic steatosis model. Cells were treated with different concentrations of SHT, DHT aqueous extract for 24 hours. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were analyzed by MTT assay. Expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, Survivin, P21, TGF-${\beta}1$, LXR-${\alpha}$, ChREBP, ACC1, SCD1 mRNA were determined by Real-time PCR. Apoptosis of cells was detected by ELISA and FACS. Expression level of caspase-3 was studied by Western blot. Lipid accumulation was indicated by Oil Red O staining. Results: SHT, DHT aqueous extract had no cytotoxicity, but decreased palmitate-induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. SHT aqueous extract suppressed fatty acid synthesis by inhibiting LXR-${\alpha}$, ChREBP, SCD1 activation and increasing TGF-${\beta}1$ expression level. DHT aqueous extract also suppressed fatty acid synthesis by decreasing ChREBP expression and increasing TGF-${\beta}1$ expression. Apoptosis of lipid accumulated cells was increased by enhanced activities of P21, caspase-3 and inhibited expressions of Bcl-2, Survivin. Conclusions: These results suggest that SHT and DHT have an anti-lipogenic effects on lipid accumulation of hepatic cell. Also SHT and DHT have an efficacy to increase apoptosis of adipocyte without cytotoxicity. Therefore, SHT and DHT might have potential clinical applications for treatment of hepatic steatosis.

Effects of sosihotangganogyong on the activity of serum transferase and hepatic lipid peroxide in mice with $CCl_4$ solution were determined. The activity of ALT showed a high value in the mice with $CCl_4$, however in the mice with sosihotang and sosihotangganogyong, these values showed a tendency to rapid recovery compared with those of the mice with $CCl_4$ only and the activity of ALT in the group of sosihotang and sosihotangganogyong showed a low values compared with $CCl_4$ only group on the 21 days after treatment. On the 21 days after treatment, the activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in the mice with sosihotang and sosihotangganogyog were similar to those of control group, however these values of $CCl_4$ only group showed a high values compared with those of other groups. The value of hepatic lipid peroxide in the mice with sosihotang and sosihotangganogyong showed a tendency to rapid decrease and recovery compared with those of $CCl_4$ only group and on the 21 days after treatment, this value showed a similar to those of control group. The activity of serum transferase and the value of hepatic lipid peroxide in the mice with sosihotngganogyong showed a tendency to decrease compared with those of sosihotang group, however these values showed a no significantly deference. Results from this study indicated that the sosihotagganogyong can effectively improve the recovery of liver function in mice with $CCl_4$.

본 연구에서는 포도박이 고지방식이를 섭취한 흰쥐의 효소 활성과 지질과산화 수준에 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 포도박의 생리활성과 자원화에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자하였다. 고지방식이를 섭취한 흰쥐에게 포도박 실험식이를 급여한 후 혈청, 간조직 중의 지질과산화물 함량, glutathione 함량과 간조직 효소 활성을 측정하였다. 포도박 첨가군의 식이섭취량은 대조군에 비하여 감소하였고, 체중증가량의 실험군 간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 식이효율은 고지방식이군이 정상식이군 보다 유의적으로 증가하였다. 지질과산화물 함량은 혈청의 경우 정상식이군에서는 포도박 첨가에 의한 변화가 없었으나 고지방식이군에서 함량이 증가되었고 포도박 첨가에 의해 감소되었다. 간조직과 간 microsome에서는 포도박을 첨가한 군이 각각의 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하였다. 간조직 내의 총glutathione 함량과 GSH/GSSG 비는 포도박 첨가군이 대조군에 비하여 모두 유의적으로 증가하였다. 간조직의 SOD 활성은 정상식이군에서는 차이가 없었으나 고지방식이에 포도박을 첨가한 군이 고지방대조군에 비하여 활성이 유도되었다. 간조직의 catalase 활성은 대조군에 비하여 포도박 첨가군이 유의적으로 증가하였다. G6Pase 활성은 포도박의 첨가로 인하여 대조군보다 활성이 증가하였지만 실험군간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. GST와 GSH-Px 활성은 정상 식이군에서는 변화되지 않았으나 고지방식이에 포도박을 첨가한 군이 고지방대조군 보다 효소 활성이 유의적으로 증가되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 식이섬유와 폴리페놀 성분을 다량 함유한 포도박 식이는 체내 항산화계를 활성화함으로써 지질 산화와 관련성이 높은 심혈관계 질환의 예방효과를 가져올 수 있는 것으로 기대되었다. 포도박의 이러한 생리활성에 대한 연구결과는 향후 포도 가공 중에 얻어지는 포도박 폐기물을 자원화 할 수 있는 기초자료로 이용될 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives : We investigated the effects of fermented soybean(FSOB) on body weight and examined whether hepatic lipid accumulation are inhibited by it in high fat diet-fed obese male mice. Methods : 8 weeks old, high fat diet-fed obese male mice were divided into 5 groups: C57BL/6N normal, control, FSOB(1), (2) and (3). After mice were treated with FSOB for 9 weeks, we measured body weight gain, food intake, feeding efficiency ratio, fat weight, plasma leptin and lipid levels. We also did histological analysis for liver and fat on the mice. Results : 1. Compared with controls, FSOB-treated mice had lower body weight gain and adipose tissue weight, the magnitudes of which were prominent in FSOB(3) and FSOB(1). 2. Compared with controls, FSOB-treated mice had lower feeding efficiency ratio and blood plasma leptin levels, the magnitude of which was prominent in FSOB(3). 3. Compared with controls, FSOB-treated mice had lower blood plasma total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels. 4. Blood plasma AST and ALT concentrations were not changed by FSOB, indicating FSOB do not show any toxic effects. 5. Consistent with their effects on body weight gain, the size of adipocytes were significantly decreased by FSOB, whereas the adipocyte number per unit area was significantly increased, suggesting that FSOB decreased the number of large adipocytes. Hepatic lipid accumulation was decreased by FSOB. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that FSOB effectively reduces body weight gain, feeding efficiency ratio, blood plasma leptin level and improves hepatic lipid accumulation.

Quercetin의 지질대사 개선 효과에 대한 작용기전을 확인하기 위해 C57BL/6J mouse를 사용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 고콜레스테롤혈증을 유도하기 위해 6주간 1% 콜레스테롤과 0.5% cholic acid를 함유하는 고콜레스테롤 식이를 급여하였으며, quercetin은 0.05%와 0.1%의 수준으로 고콜레스테롤 식이에 추가하여 같은 기간 동안 제공하였다. Quercetin은 혈청과 간의 중성지방 및 콜레스테롤 수준을 용량 의존적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 쥐의 간에서 지방 합성을 촉진하는 SREBP-1c, ACC1 및 FAS 유전자 발현이 quercetin 섭취에 의해 억제되는 것을 확인하였다. Quercetin은 간세포 내에서 에너지 대사를 조절하는 AMPK 활성을 증가시켰다. 이에 반해 암세포 증식을 촉진하고 지방간에서 높게 발현되는 miR-21 발현은 quercetin 섭취에 의해 감소되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 quercetin이 고콜레스테롤 식이 섭취 쥐에서 혈청과 간의 지질 수준을 낮추는 지질대사 개선 효과가 있으며, 이러한 효과의 일부는 간 내 지방합성 유전자 (SREBP-1c, ACC1 및 FAS) 발현, AMPK 활성 및 miR-21 조절을 통해 매개된다는 것을 시사한다.

This study was carried out to investigate effect of lipid metabolism in Viscum album lectin on rats. The lectin was purified by sepharose 4B affinity chromatography and gel filtration using sephadex G-150 with plant material from Viscum album collected in Mt. Duk Yui. After 72 h of $CCl_4$ injection (in olive oil, 1:1, 2 mg/kg) there was a significant increase in serum total cholesterol and triglycerige levels relative to the control group. However, treatment of both Viscum album and purified lectin were significantly decreased lipid parameters against the $CCl_4$-induced. Histological observation basically supported the result obtained from serum lipid assay. The livers of rats challenged with $CCl_4$ produced a marked increase of cytoplasmic vacuoles in number, while the number of necrotic cells and swollen hepatocytes did not change significnatly. Rats administered olive oil alone did not alter the normal hepatic architecture. Histological observation of the liver section in rats treated 72 h with either Viscum album purified lectin or $CCl_4$-induced liver lipogenesis showed decreased numbers of cytoplasmic vaculoes and necrotic cells. The normal hepatic architectural pattern was observed in Hematoxylin-eosin stain. These results suggest that Viscum album lectin has a possible protective effect of lipid metabolim in rats.
