This study was designed to investigate the effects of mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaf extract (MLE) on oxygen radicals and their scavenger enzymes in liver membranes of rats. Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats (160$\pm$10 g) were fed basic diet (control group), and experimental diets (MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups) added 100 and 300 mg/kg BW/day for 6 weeks. Hydroxyl radical (.OH) levels resulted in a significant decreases (15.2% and 18.1%, 5.6% and 8.0%, respectively) in liver mitochondria and microsomes could be not obtained. These are no significant differences in superoxide radical ($O_2$) levels of liver cytosol in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups compared with control group. Lipid peroxide (LPO) levels were slightly decreased about 13.6% and 6.1% in liver mitochondria and microsomes of MLE-300 group compared with control group. Oxidized protein (OP) levels were remarkably decreased about 16.9% and 27.2% in liver microsomes only of MLE-100 and MLE-300 group compared with control group. Mn-SOD activities in liver mitochondria were remarkably increased (18.2% and 28.7%, respectively) in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups, and Cu,Zn-SOD activities in liver cytosol were also significantly increased (11.3% and 20.2%, respectively) in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups compared with control group. Mn-SOD activities in liver mitochondria were remarkably increased (18.2% and 28.7%, respectively) in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups, and Cu,Zn-SOD activities in liver cytosol were also significantly increased (11.3% and 20.2%, respectively) in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups compared with control group, but significant difference between GSHPx activities in liver cytosol could be not obtained. These results suggest that anti-aging effect of mulberry leaf extract (MLE) may play a pivotal role in attenuating a various age-related changes.

흰쥐 간세포에 존재하는 비소결합물질의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 4 ppm의 비소를 포함하는 NaASO$_2$수용액의 식수로 15일간 흰쥐에 공급하였다. 비소처리군의 간 cytosol분획의 정상단백 질의 함량은 감소하였으나 8종류의 stress protein의 함량은 증가하였다. Cytosol에 존재하는 비소결합체물질은 한 종류이고,glycine, glutamic acid 및 cysteine의 3종류의 아미노산으로 구성되어있으며 분자량은 500D이었다.Glutathione은 비소와 5:1의 몰비로 결합하였으며 glutathione과 비소의 복합체는 gel filtration chromatography에서 비소결합물질과 같은 이동성을 나타내어 cytosol에 존재하는 미소결합물질은 glutathione으로 추정되었다. Glutathione에 결합한 비소는 미토콘드리아의 호흡, 형태전환 및 팽윤과 수축기능에 있어서 대조군과 별다른 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과들로써, 생체에 직접 처리한 비소에 의하여 stress protein합성이 촉진되며, 간 cytosol에 존재하는 비소결합물질은 glutathione으로 추정되고, 비소와 복합체를 형성함으로써 비소의 세포독성에 대한 방어기능을 나타내는 것으로 생각된다.

There is a marked increase in geriatric disease, especially liver disease, due to the continuous increase in alcohol and fat consumption. Since the fatty liver, induced by alcohol or fat, is basically from abnormalities in the lipid metabolism, it is possible that fatty acid binding protein(FABP) which is related to the fatty acid metabolism may also be abnormal in these livers. FABP is a small molecular weight protein family present in cytosol in high concentration. It has been proposed as a fatty acid transfer protein and as a binding protein responsible for controlling intracellular free fatty acid concentration. In this research, we have examined the relationship between liver FABP and fatty liver induced by alcohol or high cholesterol diet. Rats were fed one of either semipurified liquid diets; control diet containing 65% carbohydrate, 20% protein, and 15% fat or high cholesterol diet containing 1%(w/w) cholesterol or alcohol diet containing 37% of alcohol instead of carbohydrate. After 5 weeks of feeding period, all rats received commercial chow diet for 5 weeks to examine recovery effect. Liver and blood samples were collected at 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10 weeks to analyze lipid compositions. FABP was purified from liver cytosol and injected to rabbit to obtain antiserum. Liver FABP amount was determined by SDS-PAGE and western blotting methods. Fatty acid binding capacity was determined by binding of 14Cpalmitate with the delipidated liver cytosol. Consumption of alcohol increased serum cholesterol, triglyceride concentration and decreased HDL-cholesterol concentration after 5 weeks. Serum apolipoprotein B concentration increased after 3 weeks and LDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein A concentration changed after 1 week. Liver cholesterol and triglyceride concentration increased after 3 weeks. Consumption of high cholesterol diet changed liver and serum lipid composition after 3 weeks. Swiching to normal diet for 5 weeks did not normalize most of lipid composition in serum and liver except serum and liver except serum cholesterol, triglyceride and liver cholesterol. Liver cytosol FABP content and the fatty acid binding capacity decreased dramatically after 1 week with alcohol consumption. This results indicate that FABP content changes before the changes before the changes of blood or liver lipid composition, suggesting changes of FABP may cause development of the fatty liver induced by alcohol and can be used as an index of detecting a early development of fatty liver.

0.5 mg of natural ginsenoside mixture and 0.8 $\mu$Ci of synthesized 14C-ginsenosides were administered orally to a rat and killed at one hour after the ginsenoside administration and the liver was fractionated into nuclear fraction, mitrochondria microsomes and cytosol fraction. Radioactivity distribu lion in subcellular fractions of the liver showed that 32o1c of total radioactivity absorbed in the liver was in cytosol fraction but a significant portion of the radioactivity was also found in mitochondria (26.6%) and microsomal fraction (18.l%). 5.8% of the total radioactivity was recovered from the nuclear fraction as well. This suggested that ginsenosides might be distributed into all subcellular fractions. Activities of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase of the liver of rat at two hours after the ginsenoside administraion were found appreciably stimulated, suggesting that the ginsenoside concentration in the liver might be around 10-5%, since optimum concentrations for most enzyme catalyzed reactions in vitro were known to be 10-6% 10-4%. A significant portion of the radioactivity recovered from subcellular fractions of the liver was found in protein fractions, suggesting that proteins might interact with ginsenosides. Examination of protein-ginsenoside interation by gel filtration, equilibrium dialysis and amonium sulfate precipitation technique suggesting that proteins and ginsenosides do not bound covalently but weakl\ulcorner combined. When purified ginsenoside Rbl and Rgl were incubated with rat liver cytosolic enzymes for 20 min, the above ginsenosides were hydrolyzed quickly, suggesting that ginsenosides might be rapidly hydrolyzed and metabolized in the liver. It was also observed in vitro that the ginsenosides such as Rbl and Rgl were easily hydrolyzed by rat liver cytosol preparation suggesting that absorbed ginsenosides might be quickly hydrolyzed and metabolized in the liver.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of silk fibroin (Mw 500)power (SFP) on oxygen radicals and their scavenger enzymes in liver membranes of rats. Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats (160$\pm$10 g) were fed basic diet (control group), and experimental diets (SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups) added 2.5 and 5.0 g/kg BW/day for 6 weeks. Hydroxyl radical (.OH) levels resulted in a considerable decreases (5.8% and 8.4%, 3.7% and 11.1%, respectively) in liver motochondria and micorsomes of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group, and $O_2$radical level was remarkably decreased about 15% and 20% in liver cytosol of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. Lipid peroxide (LPO) levels were significantly decreased (8.3% and 18.0%, 13.4% and 18.4%, respectively) in liver mitochondria and microsomes of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. Oxidized protein (OP) levels were remarkably decreased about 11.6% in liver mitochondria of SFP-5.0 group compared with control group. Mn-SOD activities were remarkably in creased (17.6% and 28.8%, respectively) in mitochondria of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups, and Cu/Zn-SOD activities were also effectively in creased (about 14.4%) in liver cytosol of SFP-5.0 groups, but significant difference between GSHPx activity in liver cytosol of these two groups could be not obtained. These results suggest that anti-aging effect of silk fibroin may play an effective anti-aging role in a aattenuating a oxidative stress and increasing a scavenger enzyme activity in liver membranes.

To estalish bio-indices for detection of the development of multistep hepatotumorigenesis, rats were fed water containing 0.01% diethylnitrosamine (DEN) ad libitum for 13-14 weeks. Hepatocellular carcinoma was developed by treatment with DEN, DEN only was able to induce hepatic tumors in rats without any other cocarcinogen. Compared to control group, liver cytosol protein concentration in all treated grous was significantly decreased (p<0.05). From week to week, $20{\alpha}$-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase ($20{\alpha}$-HSD) activity was increased and the highest activity was observed on the 12th week (p<0.05). In addition, the urine biopterin concentration was also significantly increased compared to control groups (p<0.05) in a time course manner. These results indicated that $20{\alpha}$-HSD activity, urine biopterin and liver cytosol protein concentration might be very useful maker to hepatic tumorigenesis.

본 연구에서는 제2형 당뇨병를 가진 GK 흰쥐(Goto-Kakizaki) 간에서 추출한 cytosol과 심장에서 추출한 mitochondria를 이용한 모델계에서 당대사 관련 효소인 glucokinase glucokinase(GCK), pyruvate dehydrogenase(PDH), acetyl-CoA carboxylase(ACC) 및 glucosidase 활성에 대한 한약재의 물 추출물의 항당뇨 효과를 연구하였다. 그리고 역시 그들의 물 추출물의 free radical 소거활성을 DPPH 방법으로 알아보았다. Free radical 소거활성은 산수유(CF), 목단피(MDB), 천화분(CHB) 그리고 산약(SY)의 물 추출물이 강했고 반면에 백목령(BBR), 숙지황(SGH)과 택사(TS)는 낮은 소거작용을 나타내었다. 간 cytosol의 GCK 활성은 산수유(CF)와 천화분(CHB)에서 다른 추출물보다 더 강했다. 심장미토콘드리아의 PDH 활성은 택사(TS)를 제외하고 모든 추출물에서 대조군과 비교하여 높았다. 간 cytosol의 ACC 활성은 대조군보다 산수유(CF), 천화분(CHB), 숙지황(SGH), 택사(TS) 그리고 산약(SY) 추출물에서 높았다. 산수유(CF), 백복령(BBR) 및 목단피(MDB) 추출물은 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 감소를 유도했다. 따라서 모든 추출물은 혈당 상승을 억제할 수 있는 항당뇨 기능성식품이나 약품 개발을 위한 기능성 천연 소재로 이용될 수 있을 가능성을 제시하였다.

This investigation was performed to study the antioxidant activities of Cornus officinalis Sieb extracts and the effect of Cornus officinalis Sieb extracts on glucose, lipid metabolism in diabetic rats. DPPH free radical scavanging activity and superoxide anion radical scavenging of Cornus officinalis Sieb extracts were 94.7% and 92.1%, respectively. Streptozotocin (45 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) induced diabetic rats showed a significant increases of plasma glucose, triglyceride and total cholesterol, concomitantly significant decrease of plasma high density lipoprotein. Glutathione level were decrease in cytosol of liver, lung and brain tissue of rats. Lipid peroxide were increase in microsome of liver cells. Group 1 and 2 were treated with Cornus officinalis Sieb extracts 200 mg/kg body weight and 100 mg/kg body weight for 24 days, individually. Group 1 and 2 rats showed decreased plasma glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol and lipid peroxide in microsome of liver, and increased plasma high density lipoprotein and glutathione in cytosol of liver, lung and brain. The result suggest that Cornus officinalis Sieb extracts may normalize the Impaired antioxiants status in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Cornus officinalis Sieb extracts were used to improve the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant system due to the diabetes.
