The goal of this study was to provide shelf-life of Gugija-Liriope tuber raw makgeolli. After we prepared Gugija-Liriope tuber raw makgeolli by using Gugija, Liriope tuber, nuruk, cooked rice and Saccharomyces cerevisiae C-2, changes of its quality and physiological functionality were investigated during the storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. Ethanol contents was decreased from 8.3% to 7.2% for storage of 9 days at $4^{\circ}C$ and 6 days storage at $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. Antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity of Gugija-Liriope tuber makgeolli was increased from 63.1% to 66.0% after storage for 9 days at $4^{\circ}C$. Total acceptability of 9 days storage makgeolli at $4^{\circ}C$ was still good. In conclusion, shelf-life of Gugija-Liriope tuber raw makgeolli was 9 days at $4^{\circ}C$ in this respect of ethanol contents, antihypertensive action and total acceptability.

The effects of ethaverine on serotonin biosynthesis in murine mastocytoma P815 cells were investigated. Ethaverine at 2.5${\sim}$10 ${\mu}$M decreased serotonin content in a concentration-dependent manner. The IC$_{50}$ value of ethaverine was 6.1 ${\mu}$M. Ethaverine at concentrations up to 20 ${\mu}$M was not cytotoxic towards P815 cells. Under these conditions, tryptophan hydroxylase (EC 1.14.16.4; TPH), a rate-limiting enzyme in serotonin biosynthesis, was inhibited by ethaverine in P815 cells (15.3% inhibition at 7.5 ${\mu}$M), however, aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.28) was not. These results indicate that ethaverine leads to a decrease in serotonin content by reducing TPH activity in P815 cells.

된장을 극성이 다른 유기용매로 분획하여 Ames test를 이용한 항돌연변이성 효과를 알아보고자 하였고 Yac-1과 sarcoma-180암세포들의 증식에 대한 된장 분획물의 효과를 측정함과 동시에 면역과정의 생물학적 작용과 대사적 변화를 유도하는 interleukin-2 (IL-2)의 생성에 대한 효과도 검토하였다. AFB$_1$에 대한 돌연변이 억제효과는 된장의 메탄을 추출물을 2.5 mg/plate 농도로 첨가했을 때 84%의 돌연변이 저해효과를 나타내었고 같은 첨가농도에서 메탄을 분획물들중 디클로로메탄 분획물과 에틸아세테이트 분획물은 각각 96%, 97%로 상당한 항돌연변이 효과를 나타내었다. 직접돌연변이원인 MNNG의 경우, AFBI에 비해 돌연변이 저해효과가 다소 떨어지지만 그 중에서도 에틸아세테이트 분획물이 75%로 가장 높은 항돌연변이 효과를 나타내었다. Sarcoma 180 cell 암세포 증식 억제효과 실험에서 디클로로메탄 분획물(첨가농도 15.6 ${\mu}$g/ml)은 60%의 저해효과를 나타내면서 농도 의존적으로 그 저해효과가 컸으며 250 ${\mu}$g/ml 농도에서는 80%의 저해효과를 관찰 할 수가 있었다. 에틸아세테이트분회물의 경우 디글로로메탄 분회물에 비해 다소 낮은 저해효과를 나타내었지만 250 ${\mu}$g/ml 농도에서 약 60%의 세포독성 효과를 나타내었다. 디클로로메탄 분획물과 에틸아세테이트 분획물에 의한 면역 활성 증진 효과를 검토한 결과, 디글로로메탄 분획물은 첨가농도 1 ${\mu}$g/ml에서 94%로 Yac-1표적세포를 사멸시켰으며 에틸아세테이트 분획물도 동일 농도에서 96%의 억제효과를 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 아로니아 열매 추출물(AF-H)의 항염증 활성을 조사하기 위하여 LPS 자극에 의해 유도된 RAW 264.7 macrophage의 염증반응에서 AF-H의 염증매개인자 및 염증성 사이토카인 분비 억제활성과 이에 관련된 세포 내 작용기전 해석을 수행하였다. LPS($1{\mu}g/mL$)로 RAW 264.7 세포를 24시간 자극하는 염증모델에서 세포독성을 나타내지 않는 안전한 농도의 AF-H($0{\sim}500{\mu}g/mL$)를 LPS 처리 12시간 전에 처리하여 NO 및 PGE2의 분비 억제활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 AF-H 처리에 의해 NO와 PGE2의 생성이 처리 농도에 의존하여 유의하게 억제되었으며, 이들 염증매개인자의 생합성 효소인 iNOS 및 COX-2의 세포 내 발현도 현저하게 억제되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 AF-H의 처리에 의해 염증성 사이토카인인 $TNF-{\alpha}$와 IL-6의 분비도 유의하게 억제되는 것으로 확인하였다. 이러한 AF-H에 의한 항염증 활성의 세포 내 기전을 해석하기 위하여 LPS 자극에 의해 유도되는 MAPK와 $NF-{\kappa}B$ 전사인자의 활성화에 대한 억제 효과를 조사하였다. 그 결과 AF-H는 MAPK의 인산화에는 별다른 영향을 미치지 않고 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 활성화($I{\kappa}B$ 인산화)를 효과적으로 억제하는 것으로 확인되었다. 한편 LPS에 의한 in vivo 패혈증 모델에서 AF-H에 의한 패혈증 억제활성을 측정한 결과 비록 통계학적으로 유의하지는 않으나 AF-H 투여에 의해 생존율과 50% 사망률의 연장 효과가 관찰되었다. 이들 결과를 종합해 보면 아로니아 열매 열수추출물은 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 활성화 억제를 통해 NO, PGE2, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 IL-6 등의 염증매개인자와 사이토카인의 생성을 억제하는 항염증 활성을 지니는 것으로 확인되었다.

The aim of the present study was to elucidate the direct effects of melatonin on bladder activity and to determine the mechanisms responsible for the detrusor activity of melatonin in the isolated rat bladder. We evaluated the effects of melatonin on the contractions induced by phenylephrine (PE), acetylcholine (ACh), bethanechol (BCh), KCl, and electrical field stimulation (EFS) in 20 detrusor smooth muscle samples from Sprague-Dawley rats. To determine the mechanisms underlying the inhibitory responses to melatonin, melatonin-pretreated muscle strips were exposed to a calcium channel antagonist (verapamil), three potassium channel blockers [tetraethyl ammonium (TEA), 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), and glibenclamide], a direct voltage-dependent calcium channel opener (Bay K 8644), and a specific calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) inhibitor (KN-93). Melatonin pretreatment ($10^{-8}{\sim}10^{-6}M$) decreased the contractile responses induced by PE ($10^{-9}{\sim}10^{-4}M$) and Ach ($10^{-9}{\sim}10^{-4}M$) in a dose-dependent manner. Melatonin ($10^{-7}M$) also blocked contraction induced by high KCl ($[KCl]_{ECF}$; 35 mM, 70 mM, 105 mM, and 140 mM) and EFS. Melatonin ($10^{-7}M$) potentiated the relaxation response of the strips by verapamil, but other potassium channel blockers did not change melatonin activity. Melatonin pretreatment significantly decreased contractile responses induced by Bay K 8644 ($10^{-11}{\sim}10^{-7}M$). KN-93 enhanced melatonin-induced relaxation. The present results suggest that melatonin can inhibit bladder smooth muscle contraction through a voltage-dependent, calcium-antagonistic mechanism and through the inhibition of the calmodulin/CaMKII system.

This study evaluated the protein recovery, functional properties and biological activity of isolate processed water (IPW) generated in the preparation of protein isolates from fish roes (BH, bastard halibut Paralichthys olivaceus; ST, skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis; YT, yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares) by an isoelectric solubilization and precipitation process. The IPWs contained 2.7-5.4 mg/mL of protein, and the protein losses were 8-21% (P<0.05). The form capacity of IPW-3 for BH and ST, and IPW-4 for YT was 155, 194, and 164%, respectively. The emulsifying activity index ($27-43m^2/g$) of the YT-IPWs was the strongest, followed by ST ($7-29m^2/g$) and BH ($10-19m^2/g$). The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activities of IPW-1 and -3 were higher than those of IPW-2 and -4. The 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$, mg/mL) of IPW-2 and -4 was 0.03 mg/mL for BH, 0.04-0.08 mg/mL for ST, and 0.04-0.07 mg/mL for YT. BH IPW-3 had the strongest reducing power (0.41 mg/mL) and superoxide dismutase-like activity (1.68 mg/mL). The angiotensin-I converting enzyme inhibitory activity of IPW-3 was the highest for ST (1.52 mg/mL), followed by BH and YT. The common predominant amino acids in the IPWs were the essential amino acids Val, Leu, Lys, and Arg and the non-essential amino acids Ser, Glu, and Ala.

Objectives : Nypa fruticans Wurmb. (NF) have been used as a traditional medicine to treat inflammatory diseases in East-South Asia. However, it is largely undiscovered whether NF water extract could exhibit anti-inflammatory activities against tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$)-induced inflammatory responses on human keratinocytes, HaCaT cells. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of NF water extract on TNF-${\alpha}$-induced inflammatory responses in HaCaT cells. Methods : To investigate the anti-inflammatory activites of NF water extract in HaCaT cells, the inflammatory model of HaCaT cells was established under a suitable concentration (10 ng/ml) of human TNF-${\alpha}$ (hTNF-${\alpha}$). HaCaT keratinocyte cells were pre-treated with NF water extract for 1 h, and then stimulated with hTNF-${\alpha}$. Then, the cells were harvested to measure the inflammatory mediators such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$), and pro-inflammatory cytokine including TNF-${\alpha}$ and interleukin (IL)-6. In addition, we examined the inhibitory mechanisms of NF, mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and inhibitory kappa B alpha ($I{\kappa}-B{\alpha}$) Results : The treatment of NF inhibited the hTNF-${\alpha}$-induced elevation of iNOS, COX-2, and $PGE_2$ in HaCaT cells. In addition, NF treatment inhibited the hTNF-${\alpha}$-induced elevation of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6. Furthermore, NF treatment inhibited the activation of MAPKs but not degradation of $I{\kappa}-B{\alpha}$. Conclusions : Taken together, our result suggest that treatment of NF could inhibit the hTNF-${\alpha}$-induced inflammatory responses via deactivation of MAPKs in HaCaT cells. This study could suggest that NF could be a beneficial agent to prevent skin damage or inflammation.

Objectives : This study was examined to investigate the effects of Cheonmagudeng-um gagam (CGG) extract on spontaneous hypertension. Methods : For the study of CGG, we divided rats into three groups. The normal group was Wister Kyoto rats (WKY). The control group was spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The treatment group was SHR which were administered CGG extract (SHR-CGG). SHR-CGG were orally administered CGG extract that was diluted in distilled water at the various concentrations for 4 weeks (234.5 mg/kg) and SHR were orally administered the same dosage of plain distilled water as SHR-CGG. Then we measured anti-oxygen effects, ACE inhibitory activity, weight of heart and kidney, blood pressure, heart rate, plasma aldosterone, electrolyte, creatinine, uric acid, BUN, and observed the cortex of the cardiac muscle, kidney, and adrenal gland. Results : CGG increased DPPH scavenging activity and SOD similar activity depending on the concentration. CGG significantly decreased ROS, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, IL-$1{\beta}$, heart weight, blood pressure, heart rate, aldosterone, and BUN in SHR. CGG increased ACE inhibition activity depending on the concentration. CGG inhibited the heart, kidney and adrenal gland tissue injury that is caused by hypertension. Conclusions : These results suggest that CGG is effective in treatment and prevention of hypertension.

Objectives We used the D-galactose (D-gal) induced C2C12 myoblast senescence model to investigate whether ethanol extract of Perilla. fructescens leaves (EEPF) could delay cellular senescence and regulate related mechanisms. Methods C2C12 myogenic cells were cultured in an incubator under 37 ℃ and 5% CO₂ conditions. EEPF, dried perilla leaves were pulverized and extracted at 1:10 (v/v) at 50 ℃ for 4 hours. Cell counting kit-8 and western blot analysis was performed. Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit and DAPI staining was applied. Catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde analysis kits were used. To measure the level of reactive oxygen species generation, staining and flow cytometry was used. To analyze the mitochondrial activity, membrane potential changes were measured using JC-1. 𝛽-gal activity was analyzed using SA-𝛽-gal staining solution, and DNA damage was analyzed by using 𝛾-H2AX. Quantikine ELISA kit was used to analyze inflammatory cytokine production. Results According to the results of this study, EEPF significantly alleviated the decrease in cell viability in C2C12 cells treated with D-gal and suppressed the decrease in the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen. EEPF also markedly blocked D-gal-induced C2C12 cell apoptosis and restored reduced activity of CAT, GSH-Px, T-AOC, SOD. In addition, EEPF suppressed the decrease in 𝛽-galactosidase activity, the induction of DNA damage and the increase in expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype proteins such as p16, p53 and p21 in D-gal-treated C2C12 cells. Furthermore, EEPF significantly attenuated D-gal-induced production and expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-18. Conclusions The results of this study indicate that EEPF can be used as a potential candidate for the prevention and treatment of muscle aging.
