  • Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) is used in traditional herbal medicine in many Asian countries for the treatment of several diseases such as diabetes, eczema, night blindness, psoriasis, and rheumatism. Especially, most reports concerning the biological activities of bitter melon have focused on its effects on diabetes and hyperglycemia. Also, bitter melon is regarded as a longevity food, suggesting that it has several beneficial effects on anti-aging and the maintenance of a healthy state. Thus, we investigated whether bitter melon could increase the capacity of exercise in this study. Interestingly, bitter melon fruit extract activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which is important for regulating glucose homeostasis, mitochondrial content and exercise capacity. In addition, bitter melon extract increased the expression of enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation such as mitochondrial uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3), carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1b (CPT1b), and pyruvate dehydrogenase lipoamide kinase isozyme 4 (PDK4). Moreover, exercise tolerance was much more enhanced in bitter melon treated animals compared to the non-treated control group. These results suggest that bitter melon is a promising candidate for the development of functional foods beneficial for physical strength and the enhancement of exercise capacity.

  • The purpose of this study was to discern the critical point in skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation by changing plasma free fatty acids (FFA) level in rat. In the study, 3 key steps in lipid oxidation were examined after changing plasma FFA level by acipimox. The rates of both palmitate and palmitoylcarnitine oxidation were decreased by decrease of plasma FFA level, however, carnitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT) 1 activity was not changed, suggesting CPT1 activity may not be involved in the fatty acid oxidation at the early phase of plasma FFA change. In the fasted rats, ${\beta}-hydroxy$ acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (${\beta}$-HAD) activity was depressed to a similar extent as palmitate oxidation by a decrease of plasma FFA level. This suggested that ${\beta}-oxidation$ might be an important process to regulate fatty acid oxidation at the early period of plasma FFA change. Citrate synthase activity was not altered by the change of plasma FFA level. In conclusion, the critical step in fatty acids oxidation of skeletal muscles by the change of plasma FFA level by acipimox in fasting rats might be the ${\beta}-oxidation$ step rather than CPT1 and TCA cycle pathways.

  • An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of niacin supplementation on hepatic lipid metabolism in rabbits. Rex Rabbits (90 d, n = 32) were allocated to two equal treatment groups: Fed basal diet (control) or fed basal diet with additional 200 mg/kg niacin supplementation (niacin). The results show that niacin significantly increased the levels of plasma adiponectin, hepatic apoprotein B and hepatic leptin receptors mRNA (p<0.05), but significantly decreased the hepatic fatty acid synthase activity and adiponectin receptor 2, insulin receptor and acetyl-CoA carboxylase mRNA levels (p<0.05). Plasma insulin had a decreasing tendency in the niacin treatment group compared with control (p = 0.067). Plasma very low density lipoproteins, leptin levels and the hepatic adiponectin receptor 1 and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 genes expression were not significantly altered with niacin addition to the diet (p>0.05). However, niacin treatment significantly inhibited the hepatocytes lipid accumulation compared with the control group (p<0.05). In conclusion, niacin treatment can decrease hepatic fatty acids synthesis, but does not alter fatty acids oxidation and triacylglycerol export. And this whole process attenuates lipid accumulation in liver. Besides, the hormones of insulin, leptin and adiponectin are associated with the regulation of niacin in hepatic lipid metabolism in rabbits.

  • Applications of liposomes as a drug carrier for the oral delivery of poorly-absorbable macromolecular drugs have been limited, because of their instability in gastrointestinal environments including pH, bile salts, and digestive enzymes. Two polysaccharides, dextran(DX) and pullulan(PL), were introduced to the preformed liposomes in order to enhance the stability. Palmitoyl derivatives of polysaccharides, palmitoyldextran(PalDX) and palmitoylpullulan(PalPL), were synthesizd and introduced to the liposomes during preparation for the same purpose of stability. The effects of these polysaccharides coating were evaluated basically by physical properties of particle size distribution and optical microscopy, then compared with uncoated liposomes by the observations of both in vitro stability and in vovo absorption characteristics. The geometric mean diameters of polysaccharide-coated liposomes were greater than that of uncoated liposome, showing the outermost polysaccharide-coated layer under the optical microscopy. In vitro stabilities of uncoated or polysaccharides-coated liposomes were measured by turbidity changes in various pH buffer solutions containing sodium choleate as bile salts. While uncoated liposome was very sensitive to bile salts, polysaccharides-coated liposomes were stable in relatively higher concentrations of sodium choleate, giving the results of better stability of PalDX- and PalPL-coated liposomes than that of DX- and PL-coated liposomes. After liposomal encapsulation of acyclovir(ACV), an antiviral agent as a model drug, it has been administered orally to rats as dose of ACV 40 mg/kg. Plasma concentrations of ACV were assayed by HPLC and analyzed by model-independent pharmacokinetics. Pharmacokinetic parameters of Cmax, tmax, and [AUC] have been compared.

  • Complete oxidation of fatty acid in the liver of ketotic cows was investigated. Serum non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) and glucose concentrations were measured using biochemical techniques. Carnitine palmitoyl transferase II (CPT II), 3-hydroxy acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HAD) and oxaloacetic acid (OAA) concentrations in the liver were detected by ELISA. Serum glucose was lower in ketotic cows than controls (p<0.05). Serum BHBA and NEFA concentrations were higher in ketotic cows than controls (p<0.05). OAA, CPT II, and HAD contents in the liver of ketotic cows were lower than in controls (p<0.05). There were negative correlations between serum NEFA concentration and OAA, CPT II and HAD, but no correlation between serum BHBA concentration and capacity for complete oxidation of fatty acid. Overall, the capacity for complete fatty acid oxidation in the liver of ketotic cows might have been decreased. High serum NEFA concentrations may be unfavorable factors for the pathway of complete oxidation of fatty acid in the liver.

  • Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary choline supplementation on hepatic lipid metabolism and gene expression in finishing pigs with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Methods: Using a $2{\times}2$ factorial design, eight normal birth weight (NBW) and eight IUGR weaned pigs were fed either a basal diet (NBW pigs fed a basal diet, NC; IUGR pigs fed a basal diet, IC) or a diet supplemented with two times more choline than the basal diet (NBW pigs fed a high-choline diet, NH; IUGR pigs fed a high-choline diet, IH) until 200 d of age. Results: The results showed that the IUGR pigs had reduced body weight compared with the NBW pigs (p<0.05 from birth to d 120; p = 0.07 from d 120 to 200). Increased (p<0.05) free fatty acid (FFA) and triglyceride levels were observed in the IUGR pigs compared with the NBW pigs. Choline supplementation decreased (p<0.05) the levels of FFAs and triglycerides in the serum of the pigs. The activities of malate dehydrogenase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase were both increased (p<0.05) in the livers of the IUGR pigs. Choline supplementation decreased (p<0.05) malate dehydrogenase activity in the liver of the pigs. Gene expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS) was higher (p<0.05) in the IC group than in the other groups, and choline supplementation decreased (p<0.05) FAS and acetyl-CoA carboxylase ${\alpha}$ expression in the livers of the IUGR pigs. The expression of carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1A (CPT1A) was lower (p<0.05) in the IC group than in the other groups, and choline supplementation increased (p<0.05) the expression of CPT1A in the liver of the IUGR pigs and decreased (p<0.01) the expression of hormone-sensitive lipase in both types of pigs. The gene expression of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) was higher (p<0.05) in the IC group than in the other groups, and choline supplementation significantly reduced (p<0.05) PEMT expression in the liver of the IUGR pigs. Conclusion: In conclusion, the lipid metabolism was abnormal in IUGR pigs, but the IUGR pigs consuming twice the normal level of choline had improved circulating lipid parameters, which could be related to the decreased activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-generating enzymes or the altered expressions of lipid metabolism-related genes.

  • 본 연구는 지방의 종류와 함량이 다른 식이의 섭취가 하지 고정 흰 쥐의 근육 내 화학 조성, PPAR${\delta}$ 및 관련 효소의 발현에 미치는 영향을 근육 종류에 따라 알아 보기 위해 수행되었다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 10일 간의 하지고정과 식이 중재에 의해 실험동물의 체중, 식이섭취량 및 혈청 지방산에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 2) 10일 간의 하지고정에 따라 근육 양은 하지 근육 종류에 따라, 각각 soleus 에서 약 57%, plantaris에서 약 39% 그리고 gastrocnemius에서 약 38%로 달리 감소되었다 (p < 0.01). 특히 soleus에서 가장 많은 감소 현상을 보였다. 이러한 감소 경향은 식이 지방의 종류 및 함량에 영향을 받지 않았다. 3) 10일 간의 하지고정에 따라 근육 내 조성 변화의 경우, gastrocnemius에서 분석한 근육 총 단백질량은 정상 다리(contralateral)와 비교하여 하지고정에 따라 유의적으로 감소 (CO, 41%; FO, 40%; HCO, 37%; HBT, 38%)하였다. Plantaris, gastrocnemius에서 분석한 근육 내 중성지방량의 경우에도, 정상다리와 비교하여 하지고정에 따라 plantaris(CO, 39%; FO, 27%; HCO, 38%; HBT, 35%)와 gastrocnemius(CO, 38%; FO, 34%; HCO, 33%; HBT, 34%) 모두에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 그러나, 근 단백질량과 중성지방량의 감소 현상은 모두 식이군 간의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 4) PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질은 하지고정에 의해 plantaris에서는 유의적으로 증가 (p < 0.05)하였고, gastrocnemius, soleus에서는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질과는 반대로 PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA는 하지고정에 의해 plantaris에서는 유의적으로 감소 하였고, soleus에서는 FO군만 PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA 발현 양이 유의적으로 감소하였다. PPAR${\alpha}$의 경우 하지고정에 따라 두 근육에서 모두 영향을 받지 않았다. mCPT1 mRNA는 하지고정에 따라 soleus와 plantaris 모두에서 변화가 없었지만, PDK4 mRNA는 하지고정에 따라 plantaris에서 유의적으로 감소하였고, 반대로 soleus에서는 유의적으로 증가하였다. 5) PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질은 세 근육의 FO군에서 모두 크게 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 식이에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보이지는 않았다. PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA의 경우, plantaris의 CO군과 비교해 FO군에서 mRNA 발현이 유의적으로 낮은 수준이었고, 다른 군에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. Soleus의 PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA는 CO군과 비교해 FO, HCO 그리고 HBT군 모두에서 발현 양이 유의적으로 낮은 수준을 보였다. 반면, PPAR${\alpha}$의 mRNA 발현은 두 근육에서 모두 식이에 의한 영향을 받지 않았다. mCPT1 mRNA 발현의 경우, plantaris에서는 CO군과 비교해 FO군에서 발현 양이 유의적으로 낮은 수준을 보였지만, 고지방 식이 군에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 반대로, soleus에서는 CO군과 비교해 FO군에서 발현이 유의적으로 높은 수준을 보였지만, 고지방 식이 군에서는 CO군과 비교해 유의적인 차이는 없었다. PDK4 mRNA의 경우, plantaris에서는 CO군과 비교해 FO군의 mRNA 발현 양이 유의적으로 높은 수준을 보였다. 고지방 식이 군에서는 CO군과 비교해 발현 양의 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 한편, soleus에서는 FO군에서 발현이 낮은 경향을 보였을 뿐, 식이에 따른 mRNA 발현에는 모든 군에서 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 본 연구에서는 10일간의 하지고정에 의해서 모든 근육에서 유의적인 근 위축이 유발되었고, 이에 따라 근육 양의 감소와 함께 근육 총 단백질의 유의적인 감소가 나타났다. 하지만 근육 총 단백질과 중성지방의 유의적인 감소에도 불구하고, 하지고정에 의한 근육 내 중성지방 축적은 일어나지 않았다. 이는 하지고정에 의해 모든 근육에서 증가된 PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질이 하지고정 초기에 근육 내 중성지방의 축적을 억제했을 것으로 사료된다. 결론적으로, 하지고정에 따른 근 위축에 의해 근육 내 지질대사를 조절하는 PPAR${\delta}$의 mRNA 발현은 감소하였지만, ${\omega}$-3 PUFA를 함유한 어유 식이는 PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질 및 관련 효소의 발현 수준과 활성에 근 섬유별특성에 따라 긍정적인 영향을 줌으로써 근육 내 지질축적을 비롯한 근위축의 경감에 도움을 줄 수 있다는 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different amounts of dietary linoleic acid (LA) on growth performance, serum biochemical traits, meat quality, fatty acids composition of muscle and liver, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (CPT 1) mRNA expression in the liver of 9 wks old to 13 wks old growing meat rabbits. One hundred and fifty 9 wks old meat rabbits were allocated to individual cages and randomly divided into five groups. Animals in each group were fed with a diet with the following LA addition concentrations: 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 g/kg diet (as-fed basis) and LA concentrations were 0.84, 1.21, 1.34, 1.61 and 1.80% in the diet, respectively. The results showed as follows: the dietary LA levels significantly affected muscle color of LL included $a^*$ and $b^*$ of experimental rabbits (p<0.05). The linear effect of LA on serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol was obtained (p = 0.0119). The saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) contents of LL decreased and the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) content of LL increased with dietary LA increase (p<0.0001). The PUFA n-6 content and PUFA n-3 content in the LL was significantly affected by the dietary LA levels (p<0.01, p<0.05). The MUFAs content in the liver decreased and the PUFAs contents in the liver increased with dietary LA increase (p<0.0001). The PUFA n-6 content and the PUFA n-6/n-3 ratio in the liver increased and PUFA n-3 content in the liver decreased with dietary LA increase (p<0.01). The linear effect of LA on CPT 1 mRNA expression in the liver was obtained (p = 0.0081). In summary, dietary LA addition had significant effects on liver and muscle fatty acid composition (increased PUFAs) of 9 wks old to 13 wks old growing meat rabbits, but had little effects on growth performance, meat physical traits and mRNA expression of liver relative enzyme of experimental rabbits.

  • 본 연구에서 고당식이로 비알코올성 지방간을 유도한 마우스의 체중 변화는 대조군보다 백미군, 혼합잡곡군, 항비만혼합잡곡군에서 체중증가율이 낮았고 간 무게 또한 유의적으로 감소했으며, 간 내 조직학적 지방구 수와 크기가 감소한 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 혈청 지질 수치 역시 개선 효과를 보였는데 모든 실험군이 대조군보다 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤 및 저밀도 콜레스테롤의 농도가 감소하였고, 혈청 고밀도 콜레스테롤은 모두 증가하였다. 간 조직 내 지질합성 및 지방산 침투와 관련 유전자 인자에서 대조군보다 SREBP-1c mRNA 유전자 발현 수준은 백미군, 혼합잡곡군 및 항비만혼합잡곡군에서, ACC 및 FAS mRNA 유전자 발현 수준은 혼합잡곡군과 항비만혼합잡곡군에서, SCD-1 mRNA 유전자 발현 수준은 항비만혼합잡곡군에서 감소하였다. CD36 및 $PPAR-{\gamma}$ mRNA 유전자 발현 수준 또한 대조군보다 백미군, 혼합잡곡군, 항비만혼합잡곡군에서 감소하였다. 간 내 ${\beta}$산화로 지방축적 억제와 관련된 유전자 인자인 $PPAR-{\alpha}$ 및 CPT-1 mRNA 유전자 발현 수준은 대조군보다 혼합잡곡군, 항비만혼합잡곡군에서 증가하였다. 본 실험 결과를 종합해 볼 때 고당식이로 비알코올성 지방간질환을 유도한 마우스에서 백미군, 혼합잡곡군 및 항비만혼합잡곡군 모두 지질 대사 개선 효과가 나타났으며 항비만혼합잡곡군이 가장 효과적이었다.
