This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of Hyeonsamdansameum(HDE) on hypertension. For the study of HDE, we had divided Sprague-Dawley rats to three groups-normal, control, HDE. The control group was injected subcutaneous with monocrotaline(50 mg/kg). The treatment group was injected subcutaneous with monocrotaline(50 mg/kg) and orally administered with HDE extract for 4 weeks(once a day, 208 mg/kg). Then we measured blood pressure, heart rate, on the plasma aldosterone, catecholamine, electrolyte, uric acid, BUN, creatinine, and observed the lung, cardiac muscle. liver. etc. The results of these were as follows: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase(SOD) - like activity were increased. reactive oxygen species (ROS) was decreased. Angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory activity was increased in a concentration-dependent by HDE. HDE significantly increased body weight in monocrotaline hypertensive rat, so supported nearly normal group. HDE significantly decreased blood pressure and heart rate in monocrotaline hypertensive rat. HOE significantly decreased aldosterone in adrenocortical hormones. HDE significantly decreased dopamine. norepinephrine, epinephrine. Na+. Cl- were intended to decrease. K+ was decreased significantly by HDE. Uric acid. BUN were significantly decreased and creatinine was intended to decrease by HDE. HDE inhibited lung, liver and heart injury connected with hypertension. These results suggest that HDE is usefully applied in treatment and prevention of hypertension.

The effect of $\alpha-Tocopherol\;(\alpha-Toc)$ level in diet on the biochemical property of sweet smelt, Plecoglossus altivelis, was investigated. The cultured sweet smelt fish were fed two different diets for 8 weeks; a control diet was added $0.01\%$ of $\alpha-Toc$ (CO group) and an experimental diet was added $1.00\%$ of $\alpha-Toc$ (HT group). Both diets were rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3), accounting for $12.3-13.2\%$ and $12.1-12.4\%$, respectively. Growth rate (GR) and feed efficiency (FE) were almost no difference between both groups, but female fish of both groups were superior to male fish in GR and FE. Lipid contents of muscle and ovary were high in CO group compared with HT group, but that of testis showed a similar level in both groups. The proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in muscle showed almost no difference in sex and between both groups. In testes, the proportion of PUFA was 1.35 times for HT group to 1.54 times for CO group as much as in ovaries, in which was high approximately 1.5 times compared with muscle. Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and hydroxyl (OH) radical levels of plasma were higher in CO group than HT group and superoxide dismutase activity was also slightly high in the former. The intensity of watermelon-like or cucumber -like aroma was related positively with TBARS and OH radical levels in plasma. The level of triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (CHOL) in plasma of CO group was higher than those of HT group. Survival rate was high in CO group with higher level of TG and CHOL in plasma.

본 연구는 안정 시 고지방식이 흰쥐의 신장, 간장 그리고 골격근에서 지질과산화와 SOD 단백질 발현에 손바닥 선인장 보충이 미치는 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. SD계 수컷 흰쥐 16마리를 무작위로 대조군(CG, n=8)과 실험군(EG, n=8)으로 분류하였다. 8주 동안 대조군은 고지방식이를 부하하였으며, 실험군은 5% 손바닥선인장을 보충식 이하였다. 본 실험결과, 간장과 신장의 MDA 농도는 EG군이 CG군에 비해 유의하게 낮게 나타났다(p<0.01). 또한 골격근의 MDA 농도도 EG군이 CG군에 비해 높은 경향이 나타났으나, 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. Cu,Zn-SOD 단백질 발현은 신장에서 EG군이 CG군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.01). Mn-SOD 단백질 발현은 골격근에서 EG군이 CG군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.01). 이상의 결과로부터 손바닥선인장 보충이 고지방식이 흰쥐의 지질과산화 억제작용과 SOD단백질 발현이 기관 특이적인 반응의 항산화 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

One hundred and sixty Taiwan country chickens (d-old chicks) were randomly assigned into four groups with four replicates and equal sex. Basal diets were supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1 and 2% of Bazhen powder, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine complex. The study was conducted for 14 wks. Experimental results indicated that Bazhen supplement did not influence feed intake, body weight gain and feed:gain ratio. Compared with control group, the percentage of serum HDL (high-density lipoprotein) linearly increased (p<0.03) and that of VLDL+LDL (very low-density+low-density lipoprotein) linearly decreased (p<0.03) in Bazhen supplemented groups, that 2% Bazhen was significantly different with control group (p<0.05). Chickens fed diets containing 2% Bazhen displayed reduced (p<0.05) serum GOT (glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) levels. The IgG, ${\gamma}$-globulin levels and PHA (phytohemagglutinin) skin challenge results in 1% Bazhan supplemented group were higher (p<0.05) than in the control group, the SRBC (sheep red blood cell) and ND (newcastle disease) titers in Bazhen supplemented groups were linear higher (p<0.05) than in the control group. The liver catalase activity and the capacity of scavenging DPPH (${\alpha}$-${\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl) radical were linearly increased (p<0.03) in Bazhen supplemented groups, and the 1 and 2% groups were different from the control group (p<0.05). Liver TBARS (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances) levels in all Bazhen supplemented groups and total glutathione level in the 2% group were reduced (p<0.05) compared to the control group and displayed a linear response (p<0.05). The TBA (thiobarbituric acid) and pH value of the breast muscle after 24 h post-mortem in the Bazhen supplemented groups was linear lower (p<0.05) than in the control group. Results from this study demonstrated that Bazhen supplement in chicken had several beneficial effects, including increased SRBC and ND titers, HDL and IgG, ${\gamma}$-globulin levels, PHA skin challenge result, decreased VLDL+LDL and GOT levels, and displayed antioxidation effects in serum and carcass meat parameters.

Objective: This work was conducted to investigate the effects of oxidative stress on meat quality, mitochondrial function, calcium metabolism and ferroptosis of broilers. Methods: In this study, a total of 144 one-day-old male Ross 308 chicks were divided into 3 groups (control group, saline group, and hydrogen peroxide [H₂O₂] group) with 6 replicates of 8 broilers each. The study lasted for 42 d. The broilers in the saline and H₂O₂ groups were intraperitoneally injected with 0.75% saline and 10.0% H₂O₂ on the 16th and 37th day of the experimental period respectively, the injection volumes were 1.0 mL/kg of broiler body weight. On the 42nd day of the experimental period, two chicks were randomly selected from each cage, a total of thirty-six chicks were stunned by electric shock and slaughtered to collect breast muscle samples. Results: The H₂O₂ exposure reduced pH value, increased drip loss and shear force of breast meat (p<0.05), impaired the ultrastructure and function of mitochondria. The H₂O₂ exposure damaged the antioxidant system in mitochondria, excessive reactive oxygen species carbonylation modified calcium channels on mitochondria, which impaired the activities of key enzymes on calcium channel, resulted in the increased calcium concentration in cytoplasm and mitochondria (p<0.05). In addition, the H₂O₂ exposure increased the iron content and lipid peroxidation (p<0.05), which induced ferroptosis. Conclusion: Oxidative stress could impair meat quality by causing mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in calcium metabolism disorder and ferroptosis.

The effect of perilla oil added in diet on the biochemical properties of cultured sweet smelt, Plecoglossus altivelis, was investigated. The cultured fish were fed two different diets for 8 weeks; a control diet was a commercial diet, which was low in the content of docosa­hexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20: 5n-3) less than approximately $2\%$ (CO group) and an experimental diet (PO group) was added perilla oil as a lipid source in the diet of the CO group. The PO group was superior in growth rate and feed efficiency compared with CO group. This trend showed markedly in female of both groups. The fatty acid composition in the muscle of PO group was closely related with those of the diet, while those of CO group were not. For plasma components, total cholesterol (CHOU of PO group was higher than that of CO group. Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), hydroxyl (OH) radical levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of plasma were higher in PO group than CO group. The intensity of watermelon-like or cucumber-like aroma was much stronger in PO group with higher level of TBARS and OH radical in plasma compared CO group. Survival rate was also high in PO group with high levels of phagocytic rate, CHOL and SOD activity. These results suggest that perilla oil might be usefulness as a lipid source of the cultured sweet smelt diet, in which result in high quality of the cultured fish.

This study was conducted to evaluate the acute effects of waterborne cadmium exposure on bioaccumulation and antioxidant enzymes in eels (Anguilla japonica) and to determine the median lethal concentration (LC₅₀). Fish were exposed to different cadmium concentrations (0, 0.15, 0.30, 0.61, 1.83, 3.08, 3.67, 4.29, and 5.51 mg L^-1) for 96 h. The LC₅₀ of A. japonica to cadmium was 3.61 mg L^-1. Cadmium accumulation generally increased in tissues with increasing waterborne cadmium concentrations. At ≥ 1.83 mg L^-1 exposure, all tissues accumulated significant cadmium concentrations compared with the control group, in the order of kidney > liver > gill > spleen > muscle. Measurements of variation in actual cadmium concentrations showed that a reduction of the metal in experimental water was related to cadmium accumulation in tissues. As activity alteration of antioxidant enzymes for reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities increased at ≥ 0.61 mg L^-1 significantly, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase activities were not significantly changed. The results of this study suggest that acute exposure to waterborne cadmium is potentially fatal to A. japonica due to the metal's major accumulation in various tissues and the effect of antioxidant enzyme activity.

L-carnitine은 라이신과 메티오닌으로 생합성되며 골격근과 심근을 포함한 다양한 동물조직에서 발견된다. L-carnitine이 포함된 식품으로는 양고기, 소고기, 돼지고기 등이 있고 근육발달에 도움을 주며 뼈를 강화하거나 대사작용을 도와주는 기능을 하여 영양 보조제로 많이 섭취하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 L-carnitine은 제 2형 당뇨병, 골다공증, 대사성 신경증후군 등의 다양한 질병의 약물로도 연구 되고 있으며 암에서는 치료 보조제로 개발되어있다. 하지만 대장암에서의 L-carnitine에 대한 효과 및 기전에 대해서는 명확하지 않고 연구된 바가 없기 때문에 본 연구에서 저자들은 L-carnitine의 효능을 인간대장암세포주 HCT116에서 규명하고자 하였다. L-carnitine은 세포 내 활성산소종 (ROS)를 높은 수준으로 증가시켜 세포 증식을 억제하였다. 또한, 세포 증식과 죽음에 관련한 단백질 ERK1/2와 p38을 유의적으로 활성화 시킨다는 것을 입증하였다. 이때, ERK1/2 억제제(PD98059)를 처치하여 ERK1/2의 활성화가 활성산소종 발생 및 세포사멸에 중요하다는 것을 밝혔다. 따라서, 본 연구 결과는 L-carnitine이 대장암세포주의 증식을 억제 할 수 있고 이는 대장암의 치료에 있어 잠재적인 치료 물질이 될 수 있음을 시사하며 이 과정에 관여하는 신호전달기전을 조사하여 항암의 치료기전에서 활성산소종이나 ERK1/2, p38 단백질의 활성화의 중요성을 제시하였다.
