천연 우라늄의 주독성이 중금속독성인지 혹은 방사성장해독성인지를 알기 위하여 질산납과 질산우라늄을 투여하여 변동되는 혈중 BUN, Creatinine, C-AMP 및 $PGE_2$의 활성도를 측정 비교하였다. 질산우라늄 투여시 비호소계인 질산대사의 임상적 지표인 BUN 및 Creatinine값은 질산납 투여군에 비교하여 예민한 반응을 나타났으나 C-AMP의 활성도에는 의의있는 변화가 없었다. 한편 질산 우라늄의 농도 변화에 따른 $PGE_2$ 활성도의 변동은 질산납 투여와 달리 현저하게 증가 되는 것을 관찰하였다. 이 결과는 천연우라늄의 저준위 방출 방사선이 세포막에 반응하여 $PGE_2$농도에 변화를 주는 것으로 사료된다. 질산 우라늄의 투여로 증가된 혈중 $PGE_2$의 농도를 감퇴시킴에 있어 Glucagon, Aldosterone 및 Furosemide를 사용하였다.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of n-3 fatty acids on renal function in male Sprague-Dawley rats of different ages 5-, 15- and 19-months old. The rats were fed a 20%(w/w) lipid diet containing 10% fish oil, compared with control animals fed a 20% lipid diet without fish oil for 4 weeks. The results were as follows: kidney weights were significantly higher in fish oil-fed rats compared to control rats. Plasma levels of total lipid, total cholesterol, and triglyceride markedly increased, with aging and LDL-cholesterol showing a significantly lower level in fish oil-fed rats than control rats. The urinary protein and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increased with aging. GFR was higher in fish oil-fed rats. However, urinary protein was the same in the two groups. Renal medulla thromboxane B$_2$(TXB$_2$)tended to be lower in fish oil-fed 19-month-old rats. Urinary TXB$_2$and PGE$_2$were found to be higher proteinuria. Light microscopic examination showed interstitial inflammation, tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis and glomerular mesangium increase. Although glomerular sclerosis increased with aging, fish oil in the diet had no effect on histological changes. In conclusion, plasma lipid, urinary protein excretion and renal histological change showed a significant increase with aging. The reduction of TXB$_2$in the medulla and increase of GFR caused by fish oil indicated n-3 fatty acid could affect renal function in line with the hypolipidemic effect.

Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) was fractionated into leaf nutrient concentrate, fiber and deproteinised juice (DPJ). The fresh and fermented DPJs were concentrated and referred to as fresh deproteinised juice concentrate (FDPJC) and fermented deprotenised juice concentrate (FMTD DPJC). The FDPJC and FMTD DPJC were separately mixed with dried fiber and ensiled. Wilted crop silage and fresh fiber silage were also prepared from the same material crop. The nutritive value of these four silages were compared using four goats by $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. Green crop fractionation resulted lesser amount of crude protein and ash, and higher amount of neurtal detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, cellulose and hemicellulose in fresh fiber. The pH of fresh fiber silage was lower than that of the other silages. Addition of FDPJC or FMTD DPJC to the dried fiber at ensiling did not improve the silage qualities; but all the silages were satisfactorily preserved. Goats fed these silages showed similar ruminal pH and total volatile fatty acid concentrations. But addition of FMTD DPJC was effective on increasing ruminal acetic acid concentration reducing propionic acid concentration. Ruminal n- and iso- butyric acid concentrations were proportional to that of propionic acid. High ammonia content of the silage containing FMTD DPJC was reflected to the ruminal ammonia concentration, urinary nitrogen excretion and serum urea level of goats. Inclusion of FDPJC or FMTD DPJC added 15 to 25% dry matter to the fiber silages with a little reduction in the digestibilities of most components of the silages.

Cisplatin treatment increases the excretion of inorganic phosphate in vivo. However, the mechanism by which cisplatin reduces phosphate uptake through renal proximal tubular cells has not yet been elucidated. We examined the effect of cisplatin on $Na^+$-dependent phosphate uptake in opossum kidney (OK) cells, an established proximal tubular cell line. Cells were exposed to cisplatin for an appropriate time period and phosphate uptake was measured using $[^{32}P]$-phosphate. Changes in the number of phosphate transporter in membranes were evaluated by kinetic analysis, $[^{14}C]$phosphonoformic acid binding, and Western blot analysis. Cisplatin inhibited phosphate uptake in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and also the $Na^+$-dependent uptake without altering $Na^+$-independent uptake. The cisplatin inhibition was not affected by the hydrogen peroxide scavenger catalase, but completely prevented by the hydroxyl radical scavenger dimethylthiourea. Antioxidants were ineffective in preventing the cisplatin-induced inhibition of phosphate uptake. Kinetic analysis indicated that cisplatin decreased Vmax of $Na^+$-dependent phosphate uptake without any change in the Km value. $Na^+$-dependent phosphonoformic acid binding was decreased by cisplatin treatment. Western blot analysis showed that cisplatin caused degradation of $Na^+$-dependent phosphate transporter protein. Taken together, these data suggest that cisplatin inhibits phosphate transport in renal proximal tubular cells through the reduction in the number of functional phosphate transport units. Such effects of cisplatin are mediated by production of hydroxyl radicals.

Diltiazem inhibits calcium channels and Iεads to vascular smooth muscle rεlaxation and negative inotropic and chronotropic effects in the hεart. Diltiazem is almost completely absorbεd after oral administration, but its extent of absolute oral bioavailability is reduced because of considerable first-pass hepatic metabolism. Diltiazem is able to dilate renal vasculature and can increase the glomerular filtration rate and renal sodium excretion. The purpose of this study was to report the pharmacokinetic changes of diltiazem after oral administration of diltiazem, 20 mg/kg, in rabbits coadministered with cimetidine, 20 mg/kg and pretreated twice per day for 3 days at cimetidine dose of 20 mg/kg. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of diltiazem was significantly higher in rabbits pretreated with cimetidine than that in control rabbits (p<0.01), showing about 149% increased relative bioavailability. The peak plasma concentration $(C_{max})$ and elimination half-life of diltiazem were increased significantly (p<0.05) in rabbits pretreated with cimetidine compared with those in control rabbits. This findings could be due to significant reduction of elimination rate constant by pretreated with cimetidine. The effects of cimetidine on the pharmacokinetics of oral diltiazem were more considerable in rabbits pretreated with cimetidine compared with those in control rabbits. The results suggest that the dosage of diltiazem should be adjusted when the drug would be co-administerεd chronically with cimetidine in a clinical situation.

자발성 고혈압 흰쥐(SHR)에서 찐콩과 청국장 분말이 혈압 및 지질대사에 미치는 효과를 조사하여 가열처리 및 발효과정을 거친 콩제품의 항동맥경화 효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 식 이의 단백질 급원으로써 카제인, 찐콩 분말, 그리고 청국장분말을 단백질 함량으로 각각 18% 되게 첨가한 semi-pu-rified diet를 SHR(n=10, 숫컷)에 6주간 공급한 후 혈압, 혈장과 간의 지질농도, 간의 HMG-CoA reductase 활성 및 분변의 담즙산 배설능을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 카제인 대조군에 비교하여 찐콩과 청국장 섭취군의 체중증가량은 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 식이효율은 오히려 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 찐콩 및 청국장의 장기간 섭취는 자발성 SHR의 가령에 따른 혈압상승을 효과적으로 억제하였으며(p<0.05) 청국장은 찐콩보다 우수한 혈압 강하효과를 보였다. 혈중 콜레스테롤 함량은 실험군간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 중성지방의 농도는 대조군에 비해 찐콩 섭취군에서 다소 낮았으며 청국장 섭취군에서 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). LDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 대조군에 비해 찐콩 및 청국장 섭취군에서 유의적으로 낮았으며 항동맥경화인자로 알려진 HDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 따라서 동맥경화 지수는 대조군에 비해 찐콩과 청국장군에서 유의적으로 낮았으며, 청국장군에서 가장 낮은 동맥경화지수를 보였다(p<0.05). 간의 총지질과 중성지방 함량은 대조군에 비해 찐콩 및 청국장 섭취군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타나(p<0.0.5) 혈장에서의 결과와 일치하였다. 간의 HMG-CoA reductase 활성은 찐콩과 청국장군에서 유의적으로 낮았다 (p<0.05). 분변 중 총지질량은 세 군간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 콜레스테롤 배설량은 찐콩군에서 가장 높았으며, 분변으로의 담즙산 배설능은 청국장군에서 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과는 단백질 급원으로 카제인을 대체한 찐콩과 청국장의 섭취는 동맥경화 위험인자인 혈압과 고지혈증을 개선함으로써 순환기계질환을 예방하는데 도움을 줄 수 있음을 제시하였다.

Objective: The study examined the effect of condensed tannins (CT) containing Ficus infectoria and Psidium guajava leaf meal mixture (LMM) supplementation on nutrient metabolism, methane emission and performance of lambs. Methods: Twenty four lambs of ~6 months age (average body weight $10.1{\pm}0.60kg$) were randomly divided into 4 dietary treatments (CT-0, CT-1, CT-1.5, and CT-2 containing 0, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 percent CT through LMM, respectively) consisting of 6 lambs each in a completely randomized design. All the lambs were offered a basal diet of wheat straw ad libitum, oat hay (100 g/d) along with required amount of concentrate mixture to meet their nutrient requirements for a period of 6 months. After 3 months of experimental feeding, a metabolism trial of 6 days duration was conducted on all 24 lambs to determine nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance. Urinary excretion of purine derivatives and microbial protein synthesis were determined using high performance liquid chromatography. Respiration chamber study was started at the mid of 5th month of experimental feeding trial. Whole energy balance trials were conducted on individual lamb one after the other, in an open circuit respiration calorimeter. Results: Intake of dry matter and organic matter (g/d) was significantly (p<0.05) higher in CT-1.5 than control. Digestibility of various nutrients did not differ irrespective of treatments. Nitrogen retention and microbial nitrogen synthesis (g/d) was significantly (p<0.01) higher in CT-1.5 and CT-2 groups relative to CT-0.Total body weight gain (kg) and average daily gain (g) were significantly (linear, p<0.01) higher in CT-1.5 followed by CT-1 and CT-0, respectively. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) by lambs was significantly (linear, p<0.01) better in CT-1.5 followed by CT-2 and CT-0, respectively. Total wool yield (g; g/d) was linearly (p<0.05) higher for CT-1.5 than CT-0. Methane emission was linearly decreased (p<0.05) in CT groups and reduction was highest (p<0.01) in CT-2 followed by CT-1.5 and CT-1. Methane energy (kcal/d) was linearly decreased (p<0.05) in CT groups. Conclusion: The CT supplementation at 1% to 2% of the diet through Ficus infectoria and Psidium guajava LMM significantly improved nitrogen metabolism, growth performance, wool yield, FCR and reduced methane emission by lambs.

목 적 : 사람의 미세변화 신증후군과 유사한 신증을 일으키는 것으로 알려진 puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)의 1회 투여로 발생하는 신세포의 변화는 여러 기전이 작용하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 최근에는 oxygen free radical이 사구체 손상의 중요한 한 가지 원인이라고 한다. 백서에 PAN을 투여하여 신증을 발생시킨 후, $\alpha$-tocopherol을 투여하였을 때 PAN신증에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하고자 한다. 방 법 : 건강한 수컷 Sprague-Dawley 흰 쥐를 3군으로 나누어, 1군은 생리 식염수를 1회 투여한 대조군(N=6), II군은 PAN 1회 단독 투여군 (N=8), III군은 PAN투여 후 $\alpha$-tocopherol을 투여한 군 (N=7)으로 하였다. PAN 투여 직전과 투여 후 5일, 11일, 18일에 24시간 뇨의 protein, creatinine을 측정하였고, 18일째에는 혈청 protein, albumin, cholesterol도 함께 측정하였다. 또한 Oxygen free radical에 의한 신장 조직 손상을 평가하기 위해 신장 피질 미세균질액의 lipid peroxide와 reduced glutathione을 측정하였다. 결 과 : PAN투여 5일 후 24시간 뇨 protein/creatinine비는 II군과 III군에서 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.01), 그러나 18일째에는 $\alpha$-tocopherol를 투여한 III군이 PAN을 단독 투여한 II군에 비해 유의하게 단백뇨가 적었다 (P<0.05). 신장 피질의 lipid peroxide과 reduced glutathione은 III군에 비해 II군에서 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.05). 18일째의 신조직의 형태학적 변화는 PAN단독으로 투여한 II군에서는 사구체 상피세포의 족돌기가 심하게 융합되어 있으나, $\alpha$-tocopherol을 투여한 III군에서는 족돌기가 잘 보존되고 있었다. 결 론 : PAN투여로 초래된 백서 신증에서 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 투여는 lipid peroxidation의 진행을 차단하여 족돌기의 손상을 회복시키며 단백뇨의 배설도 감소시키는 것으로 사료된다.

Effects of dietary brown seaweed product levels on performance and metabolism of protein and energy were investigated in broiler chicks that were activated the acute phase response. One day old chicks were fed diets containing either 0.0(basal), 1.0, 2.0 or 4.0 % brown seaweed products for 3 weeks. The acute phase response was activated by injecting i.p. the Salmonella typhimurium lipopolysacharide(LPS) at $2^{nd}$ week of age. The acute phase response lowered nitrogen balance(NB)/ $kg^{0.75}$ (metabolic body size) and highered dietary ME values in birds fed diets containing brown seaweed product. Increase in dietary brown seaweed products levels lowered daily gain, and NB, uric acid nitrogen(UAN) excretion and ME utilization per $kg^{0.75}$ in chicks with the acute phase response. But the dietary brown seaweed product level did not affect the performance of 3 Week old broiler chicks that experienced the acute phase response. And the brown seaweed products 1.0 and 2.0 % diets lessened the feed intake reduction caused by the acute phase response in broiler chicks. The brown seaweed 2.0% diet increased NB / g diet or $kg^{0.75}$ and decreased the excretion of UAN/g diet or $kg^{0.75}$. This result indicated that the brown seaweed was able to interact with the acute phase response and increased protein retention via decreased breakdown of protein in birds fed brown seaweed 2.0% diet.

본 연구는 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 랫드에서 파리유충 에탄올추출물(Ethanolic extract of fly maggot, EM)의 경구투여가 혈액 지질감소에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Sprague-Dawley 수컷 랫드를 이용하여 4 처리구(EM 투여량; 대조군=0, 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 mg/100 g 체중)로 구분해서 6주 동안 진행하였다. EM 투여군은 대조군과 비교할 때 혈청 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤, LDL-C가 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). HMG-CoA reductase activity는 대조군과 비교할 때 EM 투여군에서 낮았으나 총스테롤, 중성스테롤 및 담즙산 배설량은 EM 투여군에서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). EM의 혈액 콜레스테롤 감소와 관련한 생물학적 작용기작을 규명하기 위해서 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 랫드에서 유도된 생체유전자 sterol response element binding proteins (SREBPs) 및 the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors ($PPAR{\alpha}$) 발현을 측정하였다. EM은 고콜레스테롤 식이를 공급받은 랫드의 간에서 SREBP-$1{\alpha}$, SREBP-2 mRNA 발현을 억압함과 동시에 $PPAR{\alpha}$ mRNA 발현을 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 본 연구의 결과는 파리유충 에탄올추출물이 고콜레스테롤 식이를 섭취한 랫드에서 지질대사와 관련한 생화학적 매개변수 및 유전자발현 조절을 통하여 혈액 콜레스테롤을 낮춘다는 새로운 사실을 발견하였다.
