In order to observe the effects of resistant starches on human glycemic response, nine female university students were investigated using cellulose (CED), resistant starch 3 (RS3D) and resistant starch 4 (RS4D) diets. Each woman's blood sugar and insulin, triacylglycerol and free fatty in plasma concentration were measured at fasting state, then 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 120 minute after each test diet feeding. Glycemic indices of the Cellulose diet (CED: 57.9 $\pm3.00$), the Resistant starch 3 diet (RS3D: 52.6 $\pm7.9$) and the Resistant starch 4 diet (RS4D: 52.9 $\pm10.2$) were similar to each other, but they were significantly lower in comparison with those of white wheat bread diet (WWBD: 100). Insulinemic indices of the CED (49.8 $\pm8.2$), RS3D (50.0 $\pm7.3$) and RS4D (72.4 $\pm7.7$) were significantly lower in comparison with the white wheat bread diet (WWBD: 100), but among the dietary fiber diets, the insulinemic index of RS4D was significantly higher than the CED and the RS3D. Plasma triacylglycerol contents of the CED, RS3D and RS4D including WWBD showed gradual increase in tendency after lowering in early stage of each test diet feeding, but not significantly different in each dietary fiber added diet. Plasma free fatty acid contents of the CED, RS3D and RS4D including WWBD showed gradual decrease in tendency after each test diet feeding, but not significantly different by each dietary fiber added diet. In above results, we speculate that resistant starch 3 controls rapid elevation of blood sugar by delaying intestinal digestion and absorption of cellulose, but the result appears to be different from RS4 in comparison. Thus, RS3 intakes may contribute to the diet therapy of diabetic humans, but more studies on RS4 is needed in the future. (Korean J Community Nutrition 9(4): 528∼535, 2004)

Fifteen Karan-Swiss male calves of 9-12 months of age were divided into three groups of five each in a randomised block design. Animals in group I were fed wheat straw ad lib. and concentrate mixture according to their requirements, while in group II and III the animals were fed with 1/3 of the required concentrate mixture replaced by UMM licks 'Ex' and 'F', respectively. The DMI (kg/day as well as per 100 kg b.wt.) were similar (p > 0.05) among different groups of animals, however, the digestibility of DM as well as OM enhanced from $52.85{\pm}1.48$ to $58.36{\pm}1.89$ and $55.33{\pm}1.48$ to $60.12{\pm}1.75$, respectively. Growth rates of the calves were $533.8{\pm}27.25$, $532.3{\pm}42.24$ and $538.4{\pm}18.68$ g/d in groups I, II and ill (p > 0.05), respectively. Body composition and N balances of the animals were not affected by supplementation of UMM licks, however, protein retention efficiency was higher in group III ($82.57{\pm}2.54$) though nonsignificant. Feed cost/day was reduced from Rs. 7.92 (group I) to Rs. 4.62 (group II) and Rs. 3.44 (group III). Hence, partial replacement of concentrates by UMM licks reduced the cost of feeding of growing calves by 41.7 to 56.6% without affecting the growth performance.

Ligand binding properties of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) were characterized by using filtration binding assays. Scatchard analysis using $[^{3}H]N-methylscopolamine$ ($[^{3}H]NMS$) showed that the dissociation constant ($K_d$) and the maximum binding value ($B_{max}$) were $3.3{\pm}0.8{\times}10^{10}$ M and $9.0{\pm}1.1$ fmol/mg protein, respectively. Binding competition experiments indicated that the affinities of C. elegans mAChRs to atropine, scopolamine, and oxotremorine were similar to those of mammalian mAChRs. Pirenzepine binding experiments revealed that the binding pattern of mAChRs in C. elegans closely resembled that of mAChRs in rat brain, suggesting that the receptors consist primarily of Ml subtype. The affinity of mAChRs for oxotrernorine was significantly affected by guanylylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p), a non hydrolyzable GTP analog, suggesting that mAChRs in C. elegans might be coupled to G proteins. The data presented here indicate the possibility that C. elegans provides a living animal model to study the action mode of the muscarinic cholinergic system.

The fyn-related kinase (FRK) belongs to the tyrosine kinase family of protein kinases. Recent studies have shown that Frk affects pancreatic beta cell number during embryogenesis and promotes beta cell cytotoxic signals in response to streptozotocin. To investigate the genetic association between FRK polymorphisms and the risk of obesity in Korean population, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FRK gene region were selected and analyzed. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated, and biochemical data (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin A1C, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, and low density lipoprotein) of blood sample from each subject were also measured. One hundred fifty five healthy control and 204 overweight/obesity subjects were recruited. Genotype frequencies of six SNPs [rs6568920 (+8391G>A), rs3756772 (+56780A>G), rs3798234 (+75687C>T), rs9384970 (+68506G>A), rs1933739 (+72978G>A), and rs9400883 (+75809A>G)] in the FRK gene were determined by Affymetrix Targeted Genotyping Chip data. According to the classification of Korean Society for the Study of Obesity, control (BMI 18 to < 23) and overweight/obesity (BMI$\geq$23) subjects were recruited. For the analysis of genetic data, EM algorithm, SNPStats, Haploview, HapAnalyzer, SNPAnalyzer, and Helixtree programs were used. Multiple logistic regression analysis (codominant, dominant, and recessive models) was performed. Age and gender as covariates were adjusted. For biochemical data, Student's t test was used. The mean value of BMI in the control and overweigh/obesity groups was 21.1${\pm}$1.2 (mean${\pm}$SD) and 25.6${\pm}$2.0, respectively. All biochemical data of the overweight/obesity group were statistically significance, compared with the control group. Among six SNPs, two linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks were discovered. One block consisted of rs1933739 and rs9400883, and the other comprised rs3756772 and rs3798234. One SNP (rs9384970, +68506G>A) showed an association with overweight/obesity in the codominant model (p=0.03). Interestingly, the AA genotype distribution in the overweight/obesity group (n=7, 3.5%) was higher than those in the control group (n=1, 0.6%), which is not found in either Japanese or Chinese subjects. Therefore, the AA genotype of rs9384970 may be a risk factor for development of obesity in Korean population. The results suggest that FRK may be associated with overweight/obesity in Korean population.

This study evaluated the effects of different levels of malt extract on the hardness, moisture, water soluble starch (WSS) contents, and in vitro starch digestibility (IVSD) of Jeungpyun during storage at room temperature ($25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) and refrigeration temperature ($4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$). Resistant starch (RS) and soluble starch (non-RS) contents were also evaluated. During storage at both temperatures, hardness increased in Jeungpyuns with the malt extract-added Jeungpyun groups (malt-added Jeungpyuns) exhibiting lower hardness than the control. The rate of retrogradation was faster upon storage at refrigeration temperature. Moisture and WSS contents as well as IVSD of Jeungpyuns decreased, whereas these levels were higher in malt-added Jeungpyuns compared to control. Storage increased RS contents in Jeungpyuns stored for up to 4 days, particularly at $4^{\circ}C$, whereas there was a decrease in RS content after 7 days of storage. However, RS content was lower in malt-added Jeungpyuns compared to control. Soluble starch (SS) contents of Jeungpyuns decreased. However, SS content was higher in malt-added Jeungpyuns than that of control. The reduced hardness and RS content as well as the rate of increase in other parameters of malt-added Jeungpyuns were dependent on the concentration of malt extract. These results reveal that addition of malt extract delayed retrogradation of Jeungpyun, whereas retrogradation possibly increased the content of RS during storage at both temperatures, however, that of RS decreased with increasing level of malt extract, suggesting that the level of malt extract as well as the storage conditions are important for obtaining acceptable texture and retaining the RS content of Jeungpyun, which is known to possess physiological activity.

Protein phosphorylation at tyrosine residues is a key regulatory event that modulates insulin signal transduction. We studied the PTPN1 gene with regard to susceptibility to Korean type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its related quantitative traits. A total of seven SNPs [g.36171G>A (rs941798), g.58166G>A (rs3787343), g.58208A>G (rs2909270), g.64840C>T (rs754118), g.69560C>G (rs6020612), g.69866G>A (rs718050), and g.69934T>G (rs3787343)] were selected based on frequency (>0.05), linkage disequilibrium (LD) status, and haplotype tagging status. We studied the seven SNPs in 483 unrelated patients with type 2 diabetes (age: $64{\pm}2.8$ years, onset age: $56{\pm}8.1$ years; 206 men, 277 women) and 1138 nondiabetic control subjects (age: $64{\pm}2.9$; 516 men, 622 women). The SNP rs941798 had protective effects against T2DM with an odds ratio of 0.726 (C.I. $0.541{\sim}0.975$) and p-value=0.034, but none of the remaining six SNPs was associated with T2DM. Also, rs941798 was associated with blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, insulin sensitivity. rs941798 also has been associated with T2DM in previous reports of Caucasian-American and Hispanic-American populations. This is the first report that shows an association between PTPN1 and T2DM in the Korean as well as Asian population.

시판 라면분말수프(RS-1, RS-2)의 사전 위생화 처리여부를 알아보기 위하여 DEFT(direct epifluorescent filter technique)/APC (aerobic plate count) 측정을 실시한 결과, 사전 살균처리가 이루어진 제품임을 확인하였다. 시료의 초기 존재했던 균수인 log DEFT는 RS-1 6.46, RS-2 7.05를 보이면서 조사선량에 따라 거의 변화가 없었으나 총 생균수인 log APC는 RS-1 2.74와 RS-2 1.95를 보이면서 조사선량의 증가에 따라 감소하였으며 이로써 log DEFT/APC 값은 점차 증가하는 경향이었다. 또한 사전 살균여부가 알려지지 않을 경우 방사선에 의해 위생화 처리될 수 있음을 감안, 5 및 10 kGy의 감마선 조사에 따른 미생물학적, 이화학적 품질을 실온($10{\pm}3^{\circ}C$)에서 6개월 저장 중 평가하였다. DEFT count는 조사선량에 무관하게 일정한 범위의 값을 보여주었으나 생균수(APC)는 조사선량에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였다. 본 시료에서는 대장균군과 효모 및 곰팡이는 검출되지 않았으며, 초기 호기성 세균은 5 kGy 이상에서 사멸되었고 실온 저장 6개월 동안 뚜렷한 생육이 없었다. 라면수프 RS-1은 조사선량에 따라 pH가 감소하였고(p<0.01) 저장 중에는 증가하는 경향을 보였다(p<0.01). 조사선량의 증가로 라면수프의 VBN 함량은 감소하는 경향을, TBA가는 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, VBN 함량과 기계적 색도는 10 kGy까지의 감마선 조사에는 비교적 안정적이었으나 저장 조건의 영향을 더 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다.

건강한 지원자를 대상으로 전기압력밥솥으로 조리한 수원464 백미와 일품종 백미를 섭취시켜 혈당의 반응을 비교한 결과식후 60분 후에서 수원464 백미섭취군의 혈당이 일품종 백미섭취군에 비해 유의성있게 더 감소하였다(p<0.01). 수원464의 혈당치가 일부 구간에서 현저히 낮은 이유는 수원464의 난소화성전분함량이 일반쌀에 비하여 높기 때문이라고 해석된다.

This study tested the association between genotypes of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker, rs81437607 and capric acid (FA_C10_0) compositions in longissimus dorsi muscle in pigs. Eighteen fatty acid (FA) compositions were measured in a total of 974 $F_2$ animals among 1,106 $F_2$ progeny produced between Landrace and Jeju Black Pig (JBP). Among FA compositions tested, we identified a cluster of highly significant SNPs for capric acid compositions on 58 Mb position of Sus scrofa chromosome 12 (SSC12) using genome-wide association study (GWAS) with $F_2$ genotypes from SNP panel analysis. GWAS results showed that the rs81437607 was the highest trait-related SNP marker with capric acid levels. Three genotypes (C/C, C/T and T/T) of rs81437607 marker were found in $F_2$ population by further pyrosequencing. Association analysis results showed the significant differences between rs81437607 genotypes and capric acid compositions (P<0.05). The $F_2$ pigs harboring rs81437607 C/C ($0.119{\pm}0.002%$) and C/T ($0.116{\pm}0.002%$) genotypes showed additively higher levels of capric acid content than those of T/T homozygotes ($0.109{\pm}0.002%$) ($P=1.30{\times}10^{-12}$). These results suggested that the genetic variations of rs81437607 may be helpful to find causative variants and assist as molecular genetic markers for improving the capric acid contents in longissimus dorsi muscle in pigs.
