To investigate the antioxidant activity of extract from the raw walnut, Juglans sinensis Dode, we prepared five fractions (methanol (MeOH), dichloromethane $(CH_2Cl_2)$, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-buthanol (n-BuOH) and dehydrogen monooxide $(H_2O)$ fractions) and examined. The effect of walnut extract on the oxidative stress was investigated in vitro. The DPPH (2,2-Di (4-tert-octylphenyl)-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity of extract from raw walnut was shown in the following order: $EtOAc\;fraction layer. The result showed that the highest activity $(0.56{\mu}g/ml,\;IC_{50}.)$ was observed in EtOAc fraction, whereas n-BuOH fraction, MeOH fraction, $CH_2O_2$ fraction and $H_2O$ layer of $IC_{50}$ were $2.34{\mu}g//ml,\;3.88{\mu}g/ml,\;8.06{\mu}g/ml,\;and\;8.19{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The radical scavenging activity assay of each fraction showed that the antioxidative activity was observed in the following order: EtOAc fraction $(74.27\pm1.56\%)>MeOH\;fraction\;(60.76\pm3.4\%)>n-BuOH\;fraction\;(59.32\pm0.88\%)>H_2O\;layer\;(41.69\pm2.06\%)$. These results revealed that all fractions, except for $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction, showed high antioxidative activity. Furthermore, the peroxynitrite $(ONOO^-)$ scavenging activity was assayed in each fraction. The result showed that the $ONOO^-$ scavenging activity of EtOAc fraction, MeOH fraction and n-BuOH fraction from raw walnut was $95.14\pm0.36\%,\; 90.02\pm1.19\%\;and\;89.41\pm0.81\%$, respectively. The tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP) treatment in vitro increased lactate dehydrogenase release and lipid peroxidation in renal cortical slices. Such changes were completely prevented by addition of MeOH fraction, EtOAc fraction and n-BuOH fraction of walnut. These results indicate that the walnut extract exerts the benedicial effect against t-BHP-induced cell injury and its effect may be due to antioxidant action. In addition, it is suggested that walnut extract might be developed as the effective scavenger for the prevention of oxidative stress.

최근 호두 기내 소비량은 급증하나 대부분 실생묘로 조림되어 결실까지 장기간 소요되며, 무성 번식률이 낮아 보급확대가 어렵다. 본 연구는 호두나무 관행 묘목 번식법 개선이 가능한 우량 국산묘 대량증식 기술 개발로 최적 배양조건을 구명하고자 수행하였디. 호두나무 등 목본류는 식물 조직배양 기본배지에서 산화방지제를 첨가하여 사용하는 경우, 배양체에서 생기는 페놀 화합물(Phenolic compound)의 작용을 억제하여 배양 식물체의 갈변(Browning) 또는 흑변(Blackening) 현상을 감소시키는 효과가 있다. 페놀 추출물은 배지로 빠져나와 갈변시키며 생존율을 저하시키는 원인이 되고 이를 제거하는 산화방지제는 배양 식물체의 생산효율을 높이는 효과를 나타내는 강력한 항산화제(Antioxidant) 역할을 한다. 호두나무의 액아를 배양하게 되면 조직 및 배지의 갈변화가 심하게 일어나는데, 휴면 정도가 깊을 수록 정단에서 추출되는 페놀성 물질의 함량이 증가하며, 식물 조직 내 페놀성 물질의 함량 정도와 배양의 고사율과는 상관관계가 있다. 이러한 식물 배양체에서 생기는 페놀 화합물에 의해 발생되는 배양상의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 계대배양을 자주해 주거나 활성탄(Activated charcoal), Ascorbic Acid 등의 첨가물을 배지에 추가하는 방법이 있다. 이에 따라 호두 '신령' 품종의 액아배양의 페놀집적을 제거하기 위해 배지 내에 산화방지제 첨가물질 등을 농도별로 처리하였다. 호두나무 액아 배양 후 8주차 산화화방지제 첨가물질의 농도별 처리 효과는 생존율은 85.3%를 보였으며, 신초 형성율 76.4%, 신초수 1.9개/주, 신초장 27mm/주의 양호한 결과를 나타냈으며, 페놀 제거 및 유식물체 고사 억제 효과를 보였다.

To product grafts and construct its spread-system effectively, this study was carried out to investigate into effects on the survival percentage and growth in walnut trees(Juglans sinensis Dode) according to transplanting type and post-epicotyl grafting treatment. In the average survival percentage of the grafting according to post-epicotyl grafting transplanting type, TPGB1(transplanting in grafting bed) showing 89.02% was highest. Also, the survival percentage was different from appropriate temperature and humidity within treatment. As a result of the average survival percentage of the grafting by species, KWN-3 having 81.59% was highest with high survival percentage of total treatment in general. In addition, it is concluded that the nutrition condition of scions and collecting parts are strongly related to survival percentage on having significantly difference of its survival percentage by species. The growth rate of the survival grafts by transplanting type after grafting revealed that all of the investigation items(height and diameter growth of grafts, diameter growth of scions and etc.) resulted in same trend. TPGB1 having the highest tree height growth, 15.97cm($2.0{\sim}59.0cm$), showed the highest growth on diameter growth of shoots, 7.55mm($1.65{\sim}14.71mm$), and scions, 8.12mm($1.82{\sim}13.58mm$), as well. In the growth of each treatment according to different developing parts of shoots in grafts, the lateral bud, 12.05cm, was much superior to the terminal bud,9.57cm, on only graft height growth. However, the survival rate according to collecting parts of scions and developing parts of shoots with same treatment was not different with among-species.

In this study, we evaluated the fatty acid composition and physiological activities of oils extracted from eight types of seeds, pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), green tea (Camellia sinensis L.), perilla (Perilla frutescens var. japonica Hara), peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), cotton (Gossypium indicum LAM.), sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), walnut (Juglans regia L.), and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.). The composition and quality analysis showed that the oils were potentially suitable for foo-grade applications. The composition analysis showed that the oils were mostly composed of unsaturated fatty acids including linoleic acid and oleic acid. In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, green pepper, perilla, and peanut seed oils inhibited lipid accumulation, and green pepper, perilla, peanut, sesame, walnut, and safflower seed oils induced leptin secretion. These results show that the inhibitory effect of edible seed oils on lipid accumulation, and induction of leptin secretion may be useful for obesity management.
