The effects of various dietary fats on plasma lipids. liver lipids, and Plasma Peroxide levels were studied in rats fed for 6 wk with diets containing 15 wt% fat, as sesame oil. raw perilla seed oil. roasted perilla seed oil, heated perilla seed oil. mackerel oil or beef tallow. TBA values of these lipids during 4 wk storage, and linolenic acid contents of three kinds of perilla seed oil were also measured. Linolenic acid contents of raw perilla seed oil. roasted perilla seed oil and heated perilla seed oil were 62.3%, 61.6% and 53.1% respectively. Raw perilla seed oil showed the lowest rate of lipid peroxidation after 4 wk storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, and mackerel oil showed the highest peroxidation rate. The plasma cholesterol levels of rats consuming diets in which the carbohydrate was rice were not affected by n-3 PUFA. Rather, the degree of peroxidation seems to have a direct effect on cholesterol levels as shown by the hypocholesterolemic effect of raw perilla seed oil and beer tallow. However. the HDL-cholesterol level was greater in rats fed either roasted perilla seed oil or mackerel oil. Rats fed roasted perilla seed oil and raw perilla seed oil had lower levels of plasma triglycerides than rats fed beef tallow. In rats fed roasted perilla seed oil, the total lipid and cholesterol contents of liver were significantly lower than in those fed the other kinds of perilla seed oil. The plasma lipid peroxide levels were lower in rats fed either roasted perilla seed oil or beef tallow.

Effects of a change in dietary Ca content and an alteration in dietary lipid type on lipid metabolism have been investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1) There was no comparable changes in food consumption and body weight gain among all 9 groups. 2) Serum total lipids and cholesterol were lowest when high Ca-corn all diet was fed, and highest when low Ca-butter diet was fed. 3) The contents of total lipids and cholesterol per g liver and total liver showed no consistent tendency with the dietary treatment. 4) Addition of Ca to the diet caused the significant increase in the dry fecal matter and fecal Ca. And fecal total lipids and fecal cholesterol were much greater if the high-Ca diet was fed than if control and low-Ca diet were fed. It is concluded that Ca and polyunsaturated acids have tendency of hypocholesterolemic effect.

To investigate bile salt hydrolase activities of the bacterial strains isolated from fermented milk products, 21 strains of Lactobacillus were tested for their abilities to produced cholic acid from taurocholic and glycocholic acids. The production of cholic acid was measured by HPLC analysis during the growth in broth media for 24hrs. All strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. plantarum deconjugated both taurocholate and glycocholate, whereas none strains of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, L. casei subsp. casei, L. casei subsp. rhamnosus, L, reuteri did. L. acidophilus stains isolated from yogurts had the higher decojugation activities on glycocholate than taurocholate, however, L. acidophilus 1009 isolated from the human intestine showed the similar deconjugation activities on both taurocholate and glycocholate.

The diets with three types of triterpenoid constituents, which were isolated from Lactuca indica, provoked significant changes of serum lipoprotein-cholesterol meta bolisms of hypercholesterolemic rats induced by high-cholesterol diet, together with the reduction of atherogenic index. Especially, triterpene acetates which have triterpene moieties such as ${\beta}-amyrin$, ${\alpha}-amyrin$, lupeol, pseudotaraxasterol, taraxasterol and germanicol showed a considerable hypocholesterolemic activity. The rat given orally with triterpene acetates did not exhibit a significantly higher value of atherogenic index than that of normal rats.

Chitin, a poly $\beta$-(1longrightarrow14)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, is best known as a cell wall component of fungi and as a skeletal materials of invertebrates. Chitosan is derived from chitin by deacetylation in the presence of alkali. Chitosan has been developed as new physiological materials since it possesses antibacterial activity, hypocholesterolemic activity and antihypertensive action. However, the actions of chitosan in vivo still remain ambiguous as the physiological functional properties because most animal intestines, especially the human gastrointestinal tract, do not possess enzyme such as chitosanase which directly degrade the $\beta$-glucosidic linkage in chitosan, and consequently the unbroken polymers may be poorly absorbed into the human intestine. Therefore, recent studies as chitosan have attracted interest for chitosan oligosaccharides, because the oligosaccharides process not only water-soluble property but also versatile functional properties such as antitumor activity, immune-enhancing effects, enhancement of protective effects against infection with some pathogens in mice and antimicrobial activity (Kingsnorth et al., 1983, Mori et al., 1997).

The effect of sulfur-containing amino acids on lipid metabolism was studied in rats fed casein as a protein source. Plasma cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and atherosclerotic index decreased in the cysteine group compared to the methionine group. Plasma triglyceride and phospholipid level were not affected by the supplementation of the sulfur-containing amino acids. The levels of cholesterol and triglyceride in liver decreased by both methionine and cysteine. Cysteine increased the fecal excretion of coprostanol, total neutral steroid and bile acid. The results suggest that plasma cholesterol level is affected by dietary ratio of cysteine/methionine and that the hypocholesterolemic effects of cysteine is, at least in part, through reducing cholesterol absorption from small intestine and through enhancing fecal excretion of bile acids.

저분자 alginate인 HAG-10, HAG-50, HAG-100 및 alginate를 랫드에 35일간 섭취시켰을 때, 혈청중의 지질성분과 동맥경화지수의 측정으로 특성이 가장 좋은 저분자 alginate인 HAG-50의 안전성을 확보하기 위해 랫드에 경구급성독성실험을 실시하였다. 혈청중 total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides 및 phospholipid 함량과 동맥경화지수는$5\%$ 와 $10\%$HAG-50에서 모두 유의적으로 뚜렷히 감소하여 지질대사 개선효과를 나타내었다. HAG-50의 경구급성독성실험을 검토한 결과, 투여할 수 있는 최고 용량인 랫드 체중 kg당 5.0g의 용량에서도 암$\cdot$수 모두 일반상태의 이상 반응과 폐사 및 병리$\cdot$조직학적 이상을 나타내는 예는 전혀 관찰되지 않아서 $LD_{50}$치의 산출이 불가능하였으므로 HAG-50은 아주 안전한 제재임이 검증되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 평균분자량 50,000 정도의 저분자 alginate인 HAG-50이 가장 우수한 지질대사 개선효과의 기능적 특성을 발휘하였으며, 경구급성독성실험 에서도 독성이 전혀 없었고, alginate가 가지고 있는 고유의 생리적 기능을 유지 향상시키면서 이용에 제한이 되고 있는 점성을 줄이고 용해도를 높혀서 alginate의 이용성을 높일 수 있는 새로운 형태의 식품소재라고 사료된다.

고려 인삼 뿌리에서 얻은 사포닌 분획이 고cholesterol 식이로 2주내지 4주간 사육한 토끼의 혈청 지단백질 분포에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 고cholesterol 식이를 인삼과 함께(시험군) 또는 단독(대조군)으로 2~4주간 투여한 토끼의 혈청 극저밀도 지단백질(VLDL)과 저밀도 지단백질(LDL)이 다같이 크게 증가하는 반면 고밀도 지단백질(HDL)의 농도는 저하 하였다. 그러나 VLDL과 LDL 농도의 증가율이나 HDL 농도의 저하율은 인삼을 투여한 토끼군에서 현저히 적었으며 인삼사포닌의 고cholesterol 혈증 개선작용이 VLDL의 LDL 농도를 낮추고 HDL의 농도를 높이기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

Tocotrienols (T3) are minor plant constituents found abundantly in rice bran, which provide a significant source of vitamin E in animal feeds. T3 was reported to have an intrinsic hypocholesterolemic effect by inhibiting HMG-Co A reductase. It has similar antioxidative properties as tocopherols in food and biological system due to their similar chemical structures. However, the antioxidant activity and mechanism of T3 to scavenge free radicals and to inhibit the peroxidation of linoleic acid are less understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the scavenging effect of T3 on free radicals and its inhibition of peroxide formation. Free radical scavenging activity was monitored by the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method whereas inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation was evaluated using the thiocyanate method. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test was used to determine malonaldehyde formation from linoleic acid peroxidation. Free radical scavenging activity increased with increasing concentration levels of T3. T3 exhibited 38.2, 78.6, 92.7 and 96.2% radical scavenging activity at concentrations of 2, 8, 32 and 128 ppm, respectively. At 128 ppm, it was highly effective in inhibiting linoleic acid peroxidation. The activity of T3 evaluated by the thiocyanate method showed low absorbance values indicating a high level of antioxidant activity. All treatments showed similar trends in antioxidant activity when evaluated by both the thiocyanate method and TBA test.

The benefits of milk on the rats supplemented with cholesterol and vitamin D2 in diet was investigated. A total of 150 male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain, 5 weeks of age, were divided into 6 groups with the diet. Cholesterol control group was fed the diet containing 1.0% choleterol and 50,000 IU/100 g of vitamin D2 for 24 months, and M0.5, M1, M2 and M5 of milk groups were fed the diet containing cholesterol, vitamin D2 and 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 of reference daily intakes of whole milk, respectively. No remarkable differences of growth, diet intake, and food effciency ratio among groups were observed though rats in cholesterol control group showed abrupt decrease of diet intake and body weight showed slightly higher relative organ weights than did the rats in control group. The rats in cholesterol control group showed the highest serum total cholesterol level. The rats in milk groups showed lower total cholesterol level and higher high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol fraction than did the rats in cholesterol control group though no tendency was observed among milk groups. In milk groups, aorta, heart, kidney and liver of rats showed milder calcification and necrosis or fat degeneration compared with those in cholesterol control group. The above results suggest that whole milk could have beneficial effect on the cholesterol-and -vitamin D2-induced atherosclerosis in rats.
