니코틴은 분자량이 작고 지용성이 커서 경피투과가 매우 잘 되므로 부작용이 일어날 가능성이 크다. 그러므로 약물의 경피투과를 조절할 필요가 있다. 이 실험에서는 지속성 경피흡수제제로서 프로리포솜계를 응용한 니코틴 팻취를 설계하고자 하였다. 니코틴을 약물로, 60% egg lecithin을 인지질로, 솔비톨(105-3500m)을 담체로 선택하여 니코틴을 함유한 프로리포솜을 제조하였다. 프로리포솜이 재현성있게 잘 만들어지는지 확인하기 위해 전자현미경(SEM)으로 제조된 프로리포솜의 표면을 관찰하였고, 전자현미경(TEM)으로 프로리포솜의 수화 (hydration)과정을 관찰하였다.

콜린은 비타민의 일종으로서 인지질 lecithin과 여러 복합지방의 중요한 구성요소로서 불안정한 메틸그룹 공급원이며 아세틸콜린의 전구물질로서 지방대사에 관여한다. 사료내 충분한 메틸기를 공급할 수 있는 메티오닌을 공급하였을때 많은 동물들은 간에서 콜린의 합성이 가능해진다. 하지만 어류에서는 콜린의 합성이 적기 때문에 사료내 첨가가 필수적이다. (중략)

생체막은 많은 생물학적인 과정에서 중요한 역할을 차지한다. 막의 주된 성분은 지질과 단백질이고, 막의 기본적인 구조는 2개의 지질분자가 소수성기를 안쪽으로 서로 마주보며 이차원으로 배열된 Bilayer구조이다. 막의 두께는 약 50A 전후로 지구상에 존재하는 막중에서 가장 얇은 막이라 할 수 있다. 막의기능성은 근본적으로 이 Bilayer구조특성에서 나온다고 할 수 있다. 생체막의 대표적인 물질로 Lecithin은 Phosphatidyl Choline을 친수성기로, 2개의 긴 알킬체인이 소수성영역으로 된 양친매성 화합물이다.

Entrapment of hydrophobic flavonoid luteolin into ethosome was carried out for improving its stability and making practical application in the field of drug and cosmetics. The formation of liquid crystalline phase and its thermal properties were investigated by polarized optical microscopy and DSC. The phase inversion from W/O to W/O/W was detected by conductivity change with the addition of PBS buffer solution into the ethanol-dissolved lecithin mixture. The particle size change of ethosome with constituent composition was examined, which showed that the incorporation of luteolin into lecithin up to 10% had little effect on the size of ethosome. Enhancement of stability of luteolin by entrapment into ethosome was verified through DPPH test. The stabilization efficacy of ethosome was improved further by the addition of tocopherol.

Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) is a standardized extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves and has anti- atherosclerosis properties. Many patients with atherosclerosis disorders take Ginkgo biloba extracts to supplement current therapy. In addition, normal healthy individuals also take Ginkgo biloba extracts for prophylactic purposes. However, it is unknown whether supplementation of Gingko biloba extracts in healthy individuals offer a benefit. In this study, we assessed whether EGb 761 could provide beneficial effects on serum cholesterol levels in normal mice. Wild-type C56Bl/6 mice were orally administered EGb 761 at 25 mg/kg (Group 3) or 50 mg/kg (Group 4) every other day for 40 days. We found that the serum levels of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly increased in EGb 761 and lovastatin treated groups. Treatment with EGb 761 and lovastatin resulted in reduced serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) compared to control group. Serum lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) levels were higher in EGb 761 and lovastatin treated group compared to the control group. However, no difference was observed in serum APO A-I levels between the control group and treatment group. These results suggest that EGb 761 can increase HDL-C resulting in increased serum LCAT levels.

Apolipoprotein (apo) C-III is a marker protein of triacylglycerol (TG)-rich lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and has been proposed as a risk factor of coronary heart disease. To compare the physiologic role of reconstituted HDL (rHDL) with or without apoC-III, we synthesized rHDL with molar ratios of apoA-I:apoC-III of 1:0, 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:2. Increasing the apoC-III content in rHDL produced smaller rHDL particles with a lower number of apoA-I molecules. Furthermore, increasing the molar ratio of apoC-III in rHDL enhanced the surfactant-like properties and the ability to lyse dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine. Furthermore, rHDL containing apoC-III was found to be more resistant to particle rearrangement in the presence of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) than rHDL that contained apoA-I alone. In addition, the lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activation ability was reduced as the apoC-III content of the rHDL increased; however, the CE transfer ability was not decreased by the increase of apoC-III. Finally, rHDL containing apoC-III aggravated the production of MDA in cell culture media, which led to increased cellular uptake of LDL. Thus, the addition of apoC-III to rHDL induced changes in the structural and functional properties of the rHDL, especially in particle size and rearrangement and LCAT activation. These alterations may lead to beneficial functions of HDL, which is involved in anti-atherogenic properties in the circulation.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of emulsifiers on the quality of steamed bread. initial pasting temperature of the flour was decreased from $63.8^{\circ}C$ to $59.40{\sim}62.95^{\circ}C$ by adding 1% of emulsifiers such as monoglyceride, lecithin, sugar ester and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM). But other rheological properties of the doughs were varied with different emulsifiers. Flour with 1% sugar ester showed the lowest value of final viscosity and set back, therefore sugar ester might be effective for retard the retrogradation of bread. By alveogram test, flour with 1% DATEM showed the highest value of P (tenacity) but the lowest value of L (extensibility), that means DATEM might be effective for strengthening tenacity of dough but it lowered extensibility. After 72 hours of storage test, the steamed bread based on the flour with 1% monoglyceride showed the best crumb softness and the highest score of sensory test.

Numerous novel ingredients have been introduced for the higher functionality of whitening cosmetics. Through the preliminary research, we have found Trichosanthes kirilowii root, Prunella vulgaris leaf and Clematis chinensis root have high whitening efficacy. But they are insoluble. Moreover the discoloration of and decrease in content take place when they are exposed to light, heat or oxygen. From Trichosanthes kirilowii root, Prunella vulgaris leaf and Clematis chinensis root, efficacious ingredients were ethanol-extracted by heating to 75∼85$^{\circ}C$ for 6∼8 h. These extracts have the inhibitory activity of tyrosinase and B16 melanin formation, thus enhancing whitening effect. We made liposomes using propylene glycol (PG)/hydrogenated lecithin/middle chain triglycerides (MCT)/glycerin/water and microfuidizer to stabilize extracts. The stability against heat and light was enhanced by 3∼5 times compared with untreated extracts. Particle size analyzer, freeze fracture transmission electron microscopy (FF-TEM), chromameter and HPLC are used for the analysis.

Egg yolk oil was obtained from a roasting and Pressure egg yolks obtained from cage system, open barn system, respectively. Lipids in egg yolk oil were extracted with a mixture of chroform: methanol (2:1, v/v) and fractionated into neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid by silicic aicd column chromatography. Lipid components of each fraction were determined by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The results were sum- marized as follows: lipid content of egg yolk from each cage system (A) and open barn system (B) was 31. 05% and 33.34%, and the lipid is made up of neutral lipid 76.60%, 71.23%, glycolipid 3.95％, 5.03% and phospholipids 19.45%, 23.74% respectively. Triglycerides (A: 59.3%, B: 56.3%) were the major components among the neutral lipids; monoglycerides, diglycerides, free sterols, and free fatty acids were the minor cop- monents. The major components of the glycolipids were digalactosyl diglycerides (A: 98.3%, B: 97.8%), the other components were cerebrosides. The major components of the phophoslipids were phosphatidyl choline plus phosphatidyl serine (A: 58.6%, B: 59.8%) the other components were lecithin plus sphingomyelin.

The antioxidative activities of methanol extracts of chestnut flower (Castanea Crenata Flos.) were determinated in vitro using an experimental model system. Solid yield of chestnut flower extracts was 6.26% and total phenolic acid accounted for about 20% of the crude extract. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of methanol extracts prepared from chestnut flower was 17.22%. Although the DPPH radical scavenging activity of chestnut flower extracts was lower than that of other antioxidants, chestnut flower extracts showed continuous activity by time course. The SOD-like activities of methanol extracts prepared from chestnut flower were 65.10%, 95.70% in BHT, 93.29% in quercetin, and 30.30% in ascorbic acid. Chestnut flower extracts showed 51.45% inhibitory effect on peroxidation of egg yolk lecithin.
