  • Effects of methanol extract from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) (CME) on underlying mechanisms of lipolysis were investigated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Compared to the control, lipid accumulation with 72 hr treatment of CME at the concentration $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ was significantly decreased by 19.9% as quantified by Oil red O dye. Intracellular triglyceride (TG) content was also lowered by 19.3%. To determine the mechanism for TG content reduction, glycerol release level was measured. Incubation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with 15 and $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ of CME significantly elevated the level of free glycerol released into the cultured medium by 20.4 and 28.6%, respectively. In subsequent measurements using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), mRNA levels of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) were significantly increased by 21.2 and 24.9%, respectively, at the concentration $20\;{\mu}g/mL$. Results indicated that CME stimulated lipolysis through induction of HSL and ATGL mRNA expressions, resulting in increased glycerol release.

  • The lipid and fatty acid compositions of neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid were identified and quantified by thin-layer chromatography and gas chromatography. Main constituents of the neutral lipid were triglyceride, free sterol and esterified sterol in the free lipid, and free fatty acid and monoglyceride in the bound lipid. In the outer part, there existed 25.7% triglyceride in the free lipid and it was not nearly found in the bound lipid. Main constitutents of the glycolipid were digalactosyl diglyceride and esterified steryl glycoside in the free lipid, and digalactosyl diglyceride in the bound lipid. Free lipid didn't contain trigalactosyl diglyceride but bound lipid contained 2.0% of it. Main constituents of the phospholipid were lysophosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl glycerol and phosphatidyl ethanolamine in the free lipid, and phosphatidyl choline and phosophatidyl inositol in the bound lipid. The predominant fatty acids of three fractions, neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid showed almost the same pattern as that of the total free and bound lipids. The content of palmitic acid was relatively higher in the polar lipids(glyco and phospholipid). Therefore, saturated fatty acid ratio of polar lipid was higher than that of neutral lipid. found lipid contained more saturated fatty acids as compared with the free lipid.

  • Green tea have been widely reported as functional foods because of their various bioactivities. In the present study, we used 3T3-Ll cells model of white adipocytes to clarify whether green tea and its main pharmaceutically effective compounds (EGCG, caffeine and theanine) prevent obesity. Cellular viability, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, glycerol release and HSL mRNA levels were checked. Glycerol release into the medium was significantly increased by the cells treated with green tea extract. Glycerol release into the medium was significantly increased by the cells treated with green tea extract. Caffeine and theanine from green tea showed some level of lipolytic activity, and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was remarkably decreased by EGCG. These results suggest that green tea has anti-obesity effect through inhibition of adipogenesis and stimulation of lipolysis. Catechins and theanine of green tea might be the factors responsible for the modulation of lipid metabolism and adipocyte differentiation.

  • This study was, firstly, to investigate water holding capacity in terms of variation of moisture sorption isotherms of seasoned squid treated with sodium lactate, glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, mannitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and calcium propionate, and secondly, the effect of humectant treatments on storage stability was studied. The criteria for storage stability was based on three quality factors, namely, lipid oxiations, color development by non-enzymatic browning reactions and lipid oxidation, and mold growth. The effect of humectants on equilibrium moisture content was in the following increasing order; mannitol < sorbitol < sodium lactate < propylene glycol < glycerol. The experimental data indicated that sodium lactate has, in practice, potentially positive effect on processing of seasoned squid. During the storage period of 60 days, TBA values increased in all samples tested as humectants concentrations increased up to 10%. However, in the range of 1-7% sodium lactate treatment, the degree of lipid oxidation, browning reactions and mild growth were not high enough to affect the quality of seasoned squid, when compared with conventionally manufactured ones.

  • This study was performed to investigate the lipolytic effects of Portulaca oleracea L. extract in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The Portulaca oleracea L. was extracted with extrusion method using twin-screw extruder under $58{\sim}60rpm$ screw speed, $4{\sim}5kg/hr$ feed rate, $140^{\circ}C$ extrusion temperature. The lipolytic action of Portulaca oleracea L. extract was estimated by measuring the amount of glycerol and free fatty acids (FFA) released from 3T3-L1 adipocytes and by measuring the cellular lipid content in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) mRNA level was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. The Portulaca oleracea L. extract at 1 to $100{\mu}g/ml$ suppressed lipid accumulation. The release of glycerol and FFA into the medium, and the mRNA level of HSL were significantly increased by the addition of Portulaca oleracea L. extract at dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, the Portulaca oleracea L. extract was suggested to have the lipolytic effect through release of lipolytic products (FFA and glycerol) of triacylglyceride to the culture medium and suppression of lipid accumulation via up-regulation of HSL gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

  • A potent intracellular-lipid-producing yeast, Rhodotorula glutinis var. glutinis SW-17, was screened out from a variety of arable soils, compost heaps, and fodders, and two strains of excellent extracellular-lipid-producing yeasts, Rhodotorula glutinis var. glutinis SW-5 and Rhodotorula graminis SW-54, were screened out from the surface of many species of leaves. And then the intra- and extra-cellular lipid productions by those Rhodotorula yeasts were studied. The results were as follows: 1. During the shaking culture of 8 days at $24^{\circ}C$, both the intra- and extra-cellular lipid accumulation started almost at the stationary phase of growth, when the nitrogen source in the medium was a little more than half used up. The intracellular lipid production by Rhodotorula glutinis var. glutinis SW-17 reached 58.42% (w/w) of dried yeast, and the extracellular lipid production by Rhodotorula graminis SW-54 amounted to 2.62g per liter of the medium. 2. After the carbon and nitrogen sources in the medium were almost consumed, if the yeasts were shake-cultured further in a state of starvation, the yeast cells re-utilized the already produced intra- and extra-cellular lipids and the lipids completely disappeared in the medium in about 90 days. 3. The relative concentration of carbon and nitrogen sources in the media greatly influenced both the intra- and extra-cellular lipid production. When the nitrogen source in the medium was almost used up for the growth of yeast, and excess carbon sources were still available, the lipid production vigorously proceeded. As long as the nitrogen source concentration in the medium was high, the lipid production was greatly suppressed. 4. The optimum pH for both the intra- and extra-cellular lipid production by those yeasts was pH 5.0-6.0. 5. The fatty acid components of the intracellular lipid of Rhodotorula glutinis var. glutinis SW-17 were myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. The largest components of the fatty acids were palmitic acid equivalent to 30-45% of the whole fatty acids and oleic acid equivalent to 35-50%. 6. The fatty acid components of the extracellular lipid of Rhodotorula glutinis var. glutinis SW-5 and Rhodotorula graminis SW-54 were myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, 3-D-hydroxypalmitic, and 3-D-hydroxystearic acids. The largest components of the fatty acids were 3-D-hydroxypalmitic acid equivalent to 22-25% of the acids and 3-D-hydroxystearic acid equivalent to 13-17%. 7. The polyol component of the intracellular lipids was only glycerol, whereas the polyols of extracellular lipids were glycerol, mannitol, xylitol and arabitol.

  • The rhizomes of Cnidium officinalis were extracted in aqueous MeOH, and the concentrate was fractionated via systematic solvent fractionation to EtOAc, n-BuOH, and aqueous fractions. The repeated column chromatography of EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions using silica gel, octadecyl silica gel, and Sephadex LH-20 as stationary phase to afford five lipids. They were identified to be methyl linoleate (1), linoleic aicd (2) 6-linoleoyl-𝛼-D-glucopyranosyl 𝛽-D-fructofuranoside (3), 1-linolenoyl-3-(𝛼-D-galactopyranosyl (1→6)-𝛽-D-galactopyranosyl) glycerol (4), and 1-linoleoyl-3-(𝛼-D-galactopyranosyl (1→6)-𝛽-D-galactopyranosyl) glycerol (5) on the basis of spectroscopic data such as IR, MS, and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Compounds 1 and 3-5 were isolated for the first time from this plant in this study. The NMR data of fatty acids 1 and 2 reported in literatures are different each other. Authors identified the NMR data without ambiguity. Compound 3, a conjugate of sucrose and fatty acid, and compounds 4 and 5, digalactosyl monoglyceride, are very rarely occurred in natural source. Through the immune enhancement and anticancer activity of the reported lipid compounds, the potential as various pharmacologically active materials of Cnidium officinalis rhizome can be expected.

  • The intracellular lipid droplets were stained with Oil Red O dye and quantified. Compared to the control, lipid accumulation was significantly decreased by 19.4% with the treatment of LCM at the concentration of $1000\;{\mu}g$/mL. Intracellular triglyceride (TG) level was also reduced by 21% at the concentration of $1000\;{\mu}g$/mL. To determine the mechanism for the reduction in TG content, levels of glucose uptake and glycerol release were measured. Incubation of the 3T3-L1 adipocytes with LCM did not affect the cellular uptake of glucose. However, the level of free glycerol released into the cultured medium drastically increased by 24.3% with the treatment of LCM. In subsequent measurements using quantitative real-time PCR, mRNA levels of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) except lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were significantly elevated at higher concentration. These results suggest that LCM partially stimulates the lipolysis through the induction of HSL and/or ATGL gene expression, resulting in the reduced lipid accumulation and increased glycerol release.

  • Lipid and fatty acid compositions of the free lipids in Panax ginseng (Korea, Japan and China), Panax quinquefolium (America, Canada) and Panax notoginseng (China) were studied by means of silicic acid column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography. Free lipid contents were 1.13 to 1.24% in panax ginseng and 0.87 to 1.18% in Panax quinquefolium and 0.39% in panax notoginseng. Neutral lipid fractions were 81.2 to 84.4%, while glycolipid fractions 8.01% to 14.47% and phospholipid fractions 3.49 to 5.74% in free lipid contents. The major components were triglycerides, free sterols, diglyceride, free fatty acids and sterol esters in neutral lipid fractions, sterol glucoside, monogalactosyl diglyceride, digalactosyl diglyceride, esterified steryl glucoside in glycolipid fractions and phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatide, ethanolamine, phosphatidyl choline in phospholipid fractions. The contents and compositions of neutral lipids and glyclipids were some different among various ginsengs, whereas phospholipids showed relatively similar compositions in the contents. Seventeen fatty acids were analyzed in the four free lipid fractions from the various ginsengs and the main fatty acids were linoleic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid and linolenic acid. It was found that the amounts of some fatty acids were different among the various ginsengs, but the fatty acid patterns of these ginsengs were on the whole similar.
