  • 본 연구는 팔미트산으로 인슐린 저항성을 유도한 C2C12 근육세포주에서 ADLE의 인슐린 저항성개선효과를조사하고이에대한조절기전을확인하고자하였다. C2C12 근육세포주에 ADLE를 처리 시, AMPK의 활성화를 통해 포도당흡수 (glucose uptake)가 증가되었으며, 이는 미토콘드리아-매개 에너지 생합성 조절단백질인 PGC1α, UCP3, CS 활성을 증가시킴과 동시에 지방산 합성인자인 ACC, FAS, SREBP-1의 발현을 억제함을 알 수 있었다. 세포주에서 확인된 결과들을 고지방식이 유도 당뇨마우스의 근육조직에서 조사한 결과, 고지방식이와 ADLE를 동시에 처리한 그룹에서 AMPK 활성화, GLUT4 발현증가와 미토콘드리아 에너지 대사증가, 지방산 합성 감소효과를 보였다. 이상의 결과들로, ADLE가 근육 내 에너지 대사 관련 경로의 상위유전자인 AMPK를 활성화하여 GLUT4의 세포막 이동을 증진시켜 당대사 조절에 관여하는 것을 관찰하였으며, AMPK의 인산화 증가는 PGC1α의 활성화에 관여하고, 이를 통해 열 발산 대사와 관련된 UCP3의 증가 및 CS 활성을 증가시키고, 지방산 합성 관련 유전자 발현을 억제시킴을 알 수 있었다. 본 결과로부터 ADLE는 대사증후군에서 공통적으로 나타나는 인슐린 저항성을 개선시킬 수 있으며, 이는 근육세포에서의 AMPK의 활성화를 통한 에너지생성기전과 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. ADLE는 비만, 당뇨 등의 다양한 부작용을 가진 약제와는 다른 안전성을 보장할 수 있는 이점을 가지고 있어 인슐린 저항성 및 제2형 당뇨병 치료를 위한 기능성 식품 소재로의 활용 가능성도 충분히 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • This study focused the relationship between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the evapotranspiration (ET) temporal changes. Especially, the interannual change of the NDVI and ET from 1982 to 2000 at regional to continental scales was highlighted mainly over Asia. Monthly global NDVI data were acquired from Pathfinder AVHRR Land (PAL) data (1$\times$1 degree resolution). The monthly ET was estimated from assimilated atmospheric data provided from National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) (2.5$\times$2.5 degree resolution), and gridded global precipitation data of CPC Merged Analysis of Precipitation (CMAP) (2.5$\times$2.5 degree resolution). Significant positive correlations were found between the NDVI and ET interannual changes in May and June over western Siberia. Moreover, it was revealed that the most of area in Asia has positive correlation coefficient in May and June. These results delineate that the vegetation activity significantly contributes to the ET interannual change over extensive areas.

  • The objective of this study was to determine effects of phosphorus on lignification and carbohydrate metabolism in Kentucky bluegrass under drought stress. Drought stress was induced by reducing of water to plants in pots. Two types of phosphorus were applied as potassium phosphate (PO43-; P) or potassium phosphonate (PO33-; PA) in drought-stressed plants. Drought had significant negative effects on plant growth, as revealed by reduced biomass of shoot. Drought-induced increase of lignin content was concomitant with the increase of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL). Soluble sugar content was highly increased but fructan content was largely decreased by drought stress. However, the application of phosphorus was efficient to ameliorate the adverse effects of drought. PA application improved reduced shoot growth and relative water content, and inhibited lignification synthesis with a reduction of PAL activity. P or PA application maintained soluble sugar and fructan content at similar levels to controls under drought stress. These results indicate that phosphorus application may mitigate the drought stress by inhibiting the lignification and promoting the fructan assimilation.

  • 소아청소년은 성인과는 다른 신체적, 생리적 특성이 있으므로 동일한 신체활동을 할지라도 에너지소비량이 다름이 보고된 바 있다. 그러나 지금까지 국내에서 수행된 소아청소년 대상 연구에서 이들의 에너지소비량을 평가 시, 성인 대상으로 측정한 에너지소비량 또는 성인대상 18단계 신체활동분류표가 이용되어왔다. 최근 소아청소년을 대상으로 한 미국의 자료와 국내의 일부 자료를 토대로 4단계 연령대 (6-9세, 10-12세, 13-15세 및 16-18세)에 따라 서로 다른 에너지당량 (METs)을 제시하는 한국 소아청소년을 위한 신체활동분류표가 보고되었다. 이에 본 연구의 1부에서 에너지소비량 측정방법의 gold standard로 알려져 있는 이중표식수법을 이용하여 소아청소년을 위한 신체활동분류표의 타당도를 평가한 결과, 이의 활용 가능성을 확인하였다. 2부에서는 세계보건기구에서 제안한 방법 (TEE = REE × PAL), 즉 간접열량계로 측정한 REE과 소아청소년 신체활동분류표로 측정한 PAL을 이용하여 166명의 소아청소년 (초·중·고등학생)의 일일 총에너지소비량을 산출하였다. 이를 기준으로 한국인 영양소 섭취기준에서 제시한 공식을 이용한 EER을 비교한 결과, 과대평가 비율이 47.3%로 나타났다. 또한 소아청소년 신체활동분류표를 이용하여 산출된 신체활동 강도별 및 신체활동 유형별 소비시간이 성별 및 연령대별로 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 앞으로 중학생 및 고등학생을 포함하는 다수의 소아청소년을 대상으로 이중표식수법을 이용하여 일일 총에너지소비량을 측정하는 연구가 수행되어, 소아청소년을 위한 신체활동분류표의 타당도가 폭넓게 평가되어야 한다. 또한 이와 같은 이중표식수법 연구를 통하여 우리나라 소아청소년을 위한 에너지필요추정량 산출 공식의 타당도 평가와 함께 한국의 소아청소년을 위한 에너지필요추정량공식이 개발되어야 할 것이다. 또한 학업부담이 많은 고등학생 뿐만 아니라, 중학생 및 초등학생에서도 강도있는 신체활동의 소비시간이 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났으므로 우리나라 소아청소년의 건강 및 비만의 예방 및 관리를 위하여 이들의 에너지소비량을 증진시킬 수 있는 프로그램의 개발 및 적용이 요구된다

  • This study was carried out to get better understandings about morphological, ecological, and genetical characteristics of annual bluegrass collected from different golf courses in Korea and eventually to establish a successful control strategy. Twenty five local lines of annual bluegrass collected from 20 golf courses in Korea were classified into annual or perennial type on the basis of morphological characteristics. Twelve local lines showing obvious morphological differences were selected and then genetically assessed using RAPD analysis. Classification of the 12 local lines through RAPD analysis were considerably similar to that determined by both of morphological differences and phenotype. Responses of the two types of annual blugrass to herbicides were also examined. Shoot growth of annual bluegrass was significantly suppressed by flazasulfuron and the annual type was more susceptible than perennial type, regardless of flazasulfuron concentrations used. By pendimethalin treatment, there was no clear difference in susceptibility between the two types of annual bluegrass. However, by the treatment of dithiopyr, annual type was more sensitive than perennial type in both shoot and root growth. Nine tree species were screened to detect their allelopathic potential on turfgrasses and annual bluegrass. Acacia (Robinia pseudo-acacia) leaves showed selective inhibition in the shoot and root growth as well as their seed germination when treated with 2% and 10%(v/v) of the extract. However, the other leaf extracts except acacia inhibited non-selectively the growth of three turfgrass species such as bentgrass, perennial ryegrass and zoysiagrass and annual bluegrass. The PAL activities of annual bluegrass increased at 24 h after treatment of acacia leaf extract and peaked at 36 h and then decreased till 60h. The highest PAL activity was observed at 36h after treatment of 10%. The highest activity of CA4H in annual bluegrass was observed at 2h after treatment of acacia extract and the level was 4 times greater than that of the control. The phenolic acids such as p-coumaric acid, salicylic acid and ferulic acid were increased with the treatment of acacia leaf extract. The chloroplast membrane and cell wall of annual bluegrass were destroyed by treatment of acacia leaf extract and its inner materials were released. The membranes in annual bluegrass cells might be destroyed by phytotoxic compounds from acacia leaf extract.

  • In folklore medicine Drymaria cordata Willd (Family-Caryophyllaceae) is reported to have laxative and anti-febrile properties along with anti-inflammatory activities. Sikkimis used this plant to treat all these ailments. The anti-inflammatory effect of the methanol extract of D. cordata was investigated against carrageenin, histamine, serotonin, dextran and $PGE_1$ induced rat hind paw oedema. It exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity against all these phlogestic agents except $PGE_1$ in the order of carrageenin > serotonin > histamine. All these effects were compared with standard drug phenylbutazone in both the acute and chronic experimental models in albino rats.

  • Cassia fistula commonly known as Sundali was selected to evaluate its wound healing potentials based on traditional use and literature references. Methanol extract of C. fistula leaves were examined for its wound healing property in the form of an ointment in two types of wound models in rats: i) Excision wound model and ii) Incision wound model. The ointment of the leaf extract of two different concentrations (5% and 10% w/w ointment of leaves extract in simple ointment base) responded significantly in both models of wounds tested. The results were also comparable to that of standard drug, nitrofurazone in terms of wound contraction ability, epithelisation period, tensile strength and regeneration of tissue at wound area.

  • We studied the attachment-repelling activity of flavonoids, stilbenes, and their glycosides against the blue mussel Mytilus edulis galloprouincialis. Molecular mechanics calculations have shown that the most stable conformations of potent repellents 29 and 32 were the same. On the basis of these results, structure-activity relationships of these compounds are discussed.
