The possible presence of inhibitors of pancreatic lipase (tricaylglycerol acylhydrolase EC 3.1.1.3) was screened from Korean traditional edible or medicinal herbs. Among tested herbs, Arecae pericarpium, Mucunae Caulis, Rhus javanica, Thujae orientalis were shown to have strong inhibitory effect against pancreatic lipase. Thujae orientalis was finally selected as a candidate for pancreatic lipase inhibitor. The extract of Thujae orientalis was showed selective inhibition on porcine pancreatic lipase activity. Active inhibitors, TF-1, TF-2, TF-3, were purified from an extract of Thujae orientalis, using chloroform extraction, followed by successive chromatography in silica gel and LH-20 and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The $IC_{50}$ values of TF-1, TF-2, TF-3 and orlistat were 44.7, 98.7, 46.1 and $27.6{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. And also the TF-2 and orlistat were shown to be inhibitory effect on the differentiation of preadipocyte NIH-3T3 L1 cells at a concentration of $10{\mu}g/ml$.

To investigate the effects of trypsin inhibitors, aprotinin and urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI), on the cute pancreatitis, this study was carried out in dogs of acute pancreatitis induced by oleic acid (0.28 mg/kg). Administration with aprotinin and UTI seemed to have a therapeutic effect on the clinical sign, ultrasonographic finding, histopathologic finding. But in amylase and lipase activity, there were no significant differences among three groups.

Pancreatic lipase-inhibitory activity of the rhizome of Alpinia officinarum (AO) and its antihyperlipidemic activity were measured. When water extract of AO was stepwise fractionated with organic solvents, ethylacetate fraction exhibited the most potent inhibition. From it, Diarylheptanoid was isolated as an inhibitor of pancreatic lipase and we investigated its in vitro inhibitory effect of lipase activity and in vivo antihyperlipidemic effect. (omitted)

In an effort to develop novel mushroom-derived anti-obesity nutraceuticals, water and ethanol extracts containing the lipaseinhibitory compound from Phellinus linteus were prepared, and their nutritional components were determined. The optimal conditions for the extraction of P. linteus lipase inhibitor involved the treatment of the fruiting bodies with distilled water at $80^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr and 80% ethanol at $100^{\circ}C$ for 60 hr, respectively. The distilled water extract and ethanol extract contained 10.9% and 6.11% of crude protein, and 0.96% and 15.86% of crude fat, respectively. Additionally, the distilled water extract contained a large quantity of minerals, including 239.5 mg of K, 39.3 mg of Mg, and 39.3 mg of Na. The free amino acid content of the distilled water extracts was also higher than that of the ethanol extracts, and in particular, the distilled water extracts contained 5,139 mg of asparagine, 3,891 mg of tryptophan, 2,598 mg of alanine, and 2,066 mg of serine in 100 g of the distilled water extracts. 100 g of the distilled water and ethanol extracts were found to contain 12.31 g and 8.16 g of malic acid, respectively.

Crude lipase activator (L. Activator) was extracted with 0.85M NaCl solution from green pepper, Capsicum annuun Lin and then fractionated by 0.2 saturation with ammonium sulfate. The activity of crude L. Activator preparation $(OD_{280}=1.0)$ had proportional relation with its added amounts below 1.0ml. The L.Activator showed optimum temperature at $35^{\circ}C$. The L.Activator was very stable at the temperatures below $50^{\circ}C$ and at pH range of $7{\sim}9$, and its activities also remained 60% even at $100^{\circ}C$, 72% at pH 3, and 85% at pH 10, respectively. The activities of L.Activator decreased by most metal ions besides $Na^+,\;Mg^{++},\;and\;Ca^{++}$. The decreasing effects of heavy metal ions such as $Ag^+\;and\;Hg^{++}$ on L.Activator activity were not, however, so great as compared with the commonly known great effects of them on most enzyme activity. Crude L.Activator was separated into 4 peaks by the cellulofine column chromatography and the main active peak of L.Activator seemed to be contained in the same components as those of the activatory peak from crude L.Inhibitor.

This study was performed to investigate the possible use of Eisenia bicyclis (EB) ethanol extract to inhibit activity against lipase. In tests, the lipase inhibitory activity of EB ethanol extract was noted as being 43, 27, and 24% at concentrations of 5, 2.5, and 1 mg/ml, respectively. Isolation was carried out by liquid and liquid extraction, silica-gel column chromatography, and HPLC. The results showed that the lipase inhibitory activity of the ethyl acetate (EA) fraction from EB ethanol extract exhibited the strongest lipase inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of 1.31 mg/ml. The EA fraction was separated using silica-gel column chromatography and we obtained 22 sub-fractions. Amongst them, the EA1 fraction showed the highest lipase inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of 0.54 mg/ml. Eight peaks were obtained from the EA1 fraction by HPLC. Fraction 5 also showed a strong lipase inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of 0.37 mg/ml. The fraction 5 was identified as dieckol and the inhibition pattern analyzed from Lineweaver-Burk plots revealed a non-competitive inhibitor. These results suggest that EB has potential as a natural anti-obesity agent.

In this study, we reported the effect of porcine pancreas lipase treatment in the presence of a calcium chloride and Triton X-100 on moisture regain and wettability of PET fabrics. The moisture regain of PET fabrics in the presence of 0.5% surfactant showed a 1.5-fold decrease, compared to the absence of it. Triton X-100 acted as an inhibitor to porcine pancreas lipase hydrolytic activity. The moisture regain and wettability of porcine pancreas lipase treated PET fabrics improved when more than 10mM of calcium chloride was added to the treatment solution. Porcine pancreas lipase treatment caused voids and cracks on PET fabrics.

This study was performed to investigate the inhibitory activity of Ecklonia cava (EC) against lipase and the stability of this activity under various heat and pH conditions. As a result, EC ethanol extract showed lipase inhibitory activity of 59, 34 and 19% at concentrations of 5, 2.5 and 1 mg/mL, whereas the water extract showed low inhibitory activity at all concentrations compared to that of the ethanol extracts. In a heat and pH stability test, the inhibitory activity of the EC ethanol extract increased with heat treatment at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min compared with the control and was stable in the pH range of 2~10. Therefore, the EC ethanol extract could be useful as a natural anti-obesity agent.

Knowledge regarding lipid catabolism has been of great interest in the field of animal sciences. In the livestock industry, excess fat accretion in meat is costly to the producer and undesirable to the consumer. However, intramuscular fat (marbling) is desirable to enhance carcass and product quality. The manipulation of lipid content to meet the goals of animal production requires an understanding of the detailed mechanisms of lipid catabolism to help meticulously design nutritional, pharmacological, and physiological approaches to regulate fat accretion. The concept of a basic system of lipases and their co-regulators has been identified. The major lipases cleave triacylglycerol (TAG) stored in lipid droplets in a sequential manner. In adipose tissue, adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) performs the first and rate-limiting step of TAG breakdown through hydrolysis at the sn-1 position of TAG to release a non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) and diacylglycerol (DAG). Subsequently, cleavage of DAG occurs via the rate-limiting enzyme hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) for DAG catabolism, which is followed by monoglyceride lipase (MGL) for monoacylglycerol (MAG) hydrolysis. Recent identification of the co-activator (Comparative Gene Identification-58) and inhibitor [G(0)/G(1) Switch Gene 2] of ATGL have helped elucidate this important initial step of TAG breakdown, while also generating more questions. Additionally, the roles of these lipolysis-related enzymes in muscle, liver and skin tissue have also been found to be of great importance for the investigation of systemic lipolytic regulation.
