The peroxidation status of tissues was estimated in broilers under acute or chronic heat stress ($32^{\circ}C$, 24 h, $5{\times}24h$) in the present study. The results showed that the lipid peroxide (LPO) concentrations in plasma and liver were elevated (p<0.05) by acute heat stress, and were not influenced in kidney (p>0.05). At the same time, no significant change of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the liver, kidney or plasma was observed. Under chronic heat exposure, the SOD activity in liver was increased (p<0.05) and the LPO concentrations in the liver and plasma were restored to the normal levels. The LPO level in kidney was not affected by chronic heat stress (p>0.05), but SOD activity was significantly decreased (p<0.01). The results suggested that the peroxidation was induced by acute heat stress and disappeared along with the time of heat exposure, and the peroxidation reactions were different among tissues.

Objectives : This study was purposed to investigate the antioxidative effects of Paeoniae radix aqua-acupuncture solution(PR) on culture liver cell system, lipid peroxidation and antioxidative enzyme activities in tert-butyl hydroperoxide(t-BHP) treatmented conditions. Methods : Cultured normal rat liver cell(Ac2F) were prepared and incubated with or without PR(at 2% volume in culture medium). After 16~18hr, cells placed in DMEM medium without serum, and then incubated with 1mM t-BHP for 2hr. Viable cells were detected by MTT assay, and the levels of lipid peroxide(LPO) were measured by TBA method. And catalase activity was measured as the decrease in hydrogen peroxide absorbance at 240nm on spectrophotometer using 30mM hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide dismutase(SOD) were assayed by recording the inhibition of nitro blue tetrazolium reduction with xanthine and xanthine oxidase. Glutathione peroxidase(GPX) activity was determined by the modified coupled assay developed by Paglia and Lawrence. The reaction was started by addition of 2.2mM hydrogen peroxide as substrate. The change in absorbance at 340nm was measured for 1min on spectrophotometer. Glutathione-S-transferase(GST) activity was assayed with CDNB as substrate and enzyme activity of GST towards the glutathione conjugation of CDNB. Results : Cell killing was significantly enhanced by addition of t-BHP compared to those of untreated group. PR pretreated cell resisted the toxic effects of t-BHP. LPO levels of t-BHP treatment group were significantly higher than other groups. This increased level was significandy reduced by PR pretreatment. The t-BHP treatment resulted in a decrease of catalase, GPX and GST activities. By contrast, PR pretreatment markedly increased compare to those of untreated groups. Conclusions : T-BHP which can produce intracellular free radical was used for inducer of the peroxidation of cellular lipids. PR protected the cell death induced by t-BHP and significantly increased cell viabiliry in the normal rat liver cell, and showed effective inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and elevations of catalase, GPX and GST activities. These results suggested that PR might play a protective role in lipid peroxidation by free radicals.

Pine(Pinus densiflora Sieb et Zucc.) is one of rhe popular plant drugs which has been used as a medicine in Asia. To investigate the effect of pine needle extract (PNE) on oxygen radicals and their scavenger enzymes in brain membranes of Sprague- Dawley (SD), make SD rats were fed basic diets(control group), and experimental diets (PNE group) with 0.5 and 1.0% of PNE 6 weeks. Mitochondrial hydroxyl radical levels in brain of 0.5%-PNE and 1.0%-PNE groups were significantly inhibited to 30% and 25%, respectively, and microsomal hydrogen peroxide levels in brain of 0.5%-PNE and 1.0%-PNE groups were significantly inhibited to 15% compared with control group. Cytosolic superoxide rdical levels in 1.0%-PNE group were significantly inhibited to 20% compared with control group. Lipid peroxide(LPO) levels in brain mitochondria of 0.5%-PNE and 1.0%-PNE groups were significantly lower(25% and 35%) than that in control group. Mn-superoxide disumtase (SOD) activities in brain of 0.5%-PNE and 1.0%-PNE groups were significantly higher(18% and 12%) than those in control groups, but Cu,Zn-SOD activities in brain of 0.5%-PNE were significantly activated to 15% compared with control group. Glutathione peroxidase(GSHPx) activities in brain of 1.5%-PNE and 1.0% PNE groups were significantly higher(14% and 12%) than those in control group. These results suggest that more beneficial effects such as inhibition of oxygen radicals and lipid peroxide(LPO). and oncreases of scavenger enzymes in brain membranes of SD rats may be effectively modulated by administration of pine needle extract (PNE)

뇌 세포막 유동성의 촉진 및 LPO생성의 억제효과는 중풍 등 뇌혈관질환을 억제할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 혈관성치매의 예방에도 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다[26,18]. 따라서 솔잎 EtOAc획분을 하루 25, 50, 100 mg/kg BW로써 SD계 랫트에 45일동안 투여하여 뇌조직중의 세포막 유동성 (membrane fluidity : MF), 기초 및 유도활성산소(BOR 및 IOR), 산화적 스트레스로서 과산화지질(lipid peroxide : LPO) 및 산화단백질(oxidized protein : OP), 그리고 리포푸신(lipofuscin : LF)의 축적에 미치는 영향을 평가하여 보았다. 솔잎 EtOAc획분의 투여에 의하여 뇌조직의 mitochondria 및 microsome획분에서 용량의존적으로 MF가 증가효과가 나타났지만, EtOAc-100 투여그룹의 mitochondria 획분에서만 약 10%의 유의적인 MF의 증가효과가 인정되었다. 뇌조직의 mitochondria에서 기초 및 유도활성산소로서 BOR 및 IOR의 생성은 EtOAc-50 및 EtOAc-100투여그룹에서 각각 9.2∼10.2% 및 17.1∼24.0%의 유의적인 억제효과가 인정되었고, microsomes에서 BOR 및 IOR의 생성은 EtOAc-50및 EtOAc-100투여그룹에서 각각 11.6∼16.6% 및 12.1∼16.1%의 유의적인 억제효과가 인정되었다. 산화적 스트레스에 미치는 영향은 mitochondria 및 microsomes획분에서 EtOAc-50 및 EtOAc-100투여그룹에서 각각 8.5∼12.0% 및 11.6∼18.5%의 유의적인 LPO의 생성 억제효과가 인정되었지만, 뇌조직의 두 획분에서 OP의 생성은 EtOAc획분의 용량의존적으로 억제되었지만, 유의성은 인정할 수 없었다. 또한 뇌조직에서 LF의 축적도 EtOAc획분의 용량 의존적으로 억제효과가 나타났지만, 유의성은 인정할 수 없었다. 이상의 결과에서 평가하여 볼 때 솔잎 EtOAc획분의 투여는 뇌조직의 유동성을 촉진하고 LPO의 생성을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있지만, 현재의 투여농도에서는 OP 및 LF의 생성을 방지할 수 없을 것으로 생각된다.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated by infiltrating neutrophils, are considered as an important regulator in the pathogenesis and deveolpment of pancreatitis. The present study aims to investigate whether neutrophils primed by $4{\beta}-phorbol\;12{\beta}-myristate\;13{\alpha}-acetate$ (PMA) affect the productions $H_2O_2$ and lipid peroxide (LPO), $NF-_{\kappa}B$ activation and cytokine production in pancreatic acinar cells, and whether these alterations were inhibited by an antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). $H_2O_2$ (ferrithiocyanate method), LPO (as thiobarbiturate reactive substances), and cytokines $(IL-l{\bata},\; IL-6,\;TNF-{\alpha};\;enzyme-linked\;immunosorbent\;assay)$ and $NF-_{\kappa}B$ activation (electrophoretic mobility shift assay) were analyzed in acinar cells treated with or without PMA-primed neutrophils in the absence or presence of NAC (10 mM) or SOD (300 U/ml). As a result, the productions of H2O2, LPO and $TNF-{\alpha}$ were increased with the ratio of PMA-primed neutrophils to acinar cells while the productions of LPO, $IL-l{\beta},\;IL-6\;and\;TNF-{\alpha}$ were increased with time. PMA-primed neutrophils resulted in the activation of $NF-_{\kappa}B.$ Both NAC and SOD inhibited neutrophil-induced alterations in acinar cells. In conclusion, ROS, generated by neutrophils, activates $NF-_{\kappa}B,$ resulting in upregulation of inflammatary cytokines in acinar cells. Antioxidants might be clinically useful antiinflammatory agents by inhibiting oxidant-mediated activation of $NF-_{\kappa}B$ and decreasing cytokine production.

The differential effects of various fatty acids such as n-3 and n-6 types or degrees of unsaturation on the CYP2E1 induction and the production of lipid peroxidation (LPO) were investigated. The CYP2E1-transduced human hepatoma HepG2 cells (E47) were cultured in RPMI 1640 media containing different concentrations of various fatty acids up to 48 h incubation compared to 04 cells and CYP2E1-null cells. Treated fatty acids were linoleic acid (LA:n-6, C18:2), arachidonic acid (AA:n-6, C20:4) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA:n-3, C22:6). The cell survival rate was decreased corresponding to the degree of unsaturation (LA>AA $\cong$DHA) and to LPO production in E47 and 04 cells. The four or five unsaturation degree of fatty acids, AA and DHA, caused time- and dose-dependent cell death in E47 cells but not as much as in C34 (without CYP2E1), suggesting an important role of CYP2E1 in the DHA mediated damage. In the levels of lipid peroxides (LPO), AA also elevated LPO by 3- and 5- fold compared to DHA or LA treated E47 cells. However, AA did not increase LPO until 48 h incubation in C34 cells. In conclusion, the polyunsaturated fatty acids induced CYP2E1 induction might be changed by the elevated levels of lipid peroxide (LPO) and oxidative stress through the connection of CYP2E1 and degrees of unsaturated fatty acids.

흰쥐의 비타민 E의 최소필요량인 30IU/kg diet를 공급하는 기본식이에 산화방지제로 800mg의 $\alpha$-tocopherol, 1000mg의 $\zeta$-tocopherol 및 rosemary extract를 첨가한 정어리유를 실험동물에 섭취시켜 혈장과 간에서의 tocopherol과 지질과산물(LPO)의 함량을 분석하였다. 돈지군에 비하여 정어리유 섭취군에서 평균 체중증가량의 변화는 차이를 보이지 않았으나 체중에 대한 간의 무게의 비율은 증가하였다. 정어리 섭취유에 따라 혈장과 간에서 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 함량은 크게 감소하였으나 몇가지 산화방지제 첨가에 따라 tocopherol의 함량을 유의적으로 증가시킬수는 있었지만 대조군 수준에는 미치지 못하였으므로 효율적으로 조직의 LPO수준을 낮출 수 없었다. 따라서 정어리유 섭취시 조직내에서의 비타민 E의 감소를 방지하고 LPO의 상승을 억제시킬 수 있는 적절한 산화방지제의 첨가수준을 결정하기 위한 연구가 계속적으로 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of water extract of Woogyuyeum (WGY) in Leydig cells. Methods : We investigated the cytoprotective effect of WGY in cultured mouse Leydig cells by MTT assay. Leydig cells treated with WGY were incubated in the presence or absence of 50 μM hydrogen peroxide at 37℃ for 24 h. The protective effects of WGY against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress, lipid peroxide (LPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase activity assays were performed in Leydig cells. Results : As a result, WGY showed no significant cytotoxicity in Leygdig cells. WGY showed cell viability as 103.65% in 5 μg/ml concentrations. The cytotoxicity induced by hydrogen peroxide in Leygdig cells, the antioxidant effects of WGY was increased in 1, 5, 50, 100 ug/ml concentraions. 100 μg/ml concentration of WGY showed maximum antioxidant effects. Treatment of cells with 100 μg/ml WGY significantly reduced the MDA concentration to 0.23 nmoles/mg protein. SOD activity was increased at 1, 100 μg/ml concentration of WGY and catalase activity was significantly increased at 50, 100 μg/ml concentrations of WGY, respectively. Conclusions : In conclusion, WGY has antioxidant activities against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in Leydig cells.
