Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) could induce metabolic disorders through interfering with thyroid homeostasis. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of short term to environmental relevant doses of DEHP on thyroid hormones. Four week old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were treated with vehicle (corn oil), and DEHP 0.75, 7.5, and 150 mg/kg/day. The rats were treated with once daily by oral gavage and were sacrificed with after 1 week. They were measured body weight and relative thyroid weight, serum thyroid hormones and histological changes of thyroid. There was no difference in body weight between the control and DEHP exposed rats. Relative thyroid weight in DEHP 150 mg/kg/day treated group was significantly lower than control. Serum thyroxine levels was decreased in rats exposed to 0.75 and 150 mg/kg/day DEHP. No histological changes were observed in the thyroid of rats administered DEHP compared to control. Exposure to DEHP at environmental relevant levels, even short-term exposure, can cause hypothyroidism in adolescent rats even the exposure period is relative short.

The purpose of this study was to investigate eating behavior, nutritional status and health condition of obese adult attending a weight control exercise. The subjects of this study consisted of 81 adult in some areas of Daegu. Their weight, height, triceps, midarm circumference were measured and their dietary intake and eating behavior were obtained by using questionnaires. Anthropometry was conducted to determine obesity. Average age of men and women were 38.1 and 35.2 years old respectively. Their intake of energy and protein were 69.5% and 97.4% of RDA respectively. Energy intake of normal and obese group was 74.4% and 64.9% of RDA respectively. Protein intake of normal and obese group was 99.7% and 95.3% of RDA respectively There was a negative correlation between PIBW and energy intake, PIBW and carbohydrate intake, BMI and energy intake, and BMI and carbohydrate intake. A relative magnitude of factors affecting weight decrease rate was analyzed by Stepwise multiple regression analysis. Overall results about relative influence of independent variables to dependent variable(weight decrease rate) indicated that the BMI(p<0.01) was the most significantly correlated with weight decrease rate in all subjects. The results of this study suggest that the extensive nutrition education in weight control program should be emphasized to prevent obesity early.

The aim was to determine the relative bioavailability of phosphorus (P) in peas for 21-day old broiler chickens using slope-ratio assay. One hundred and sixty eight male Ross 308 broiler chicks were divided into 42 groups 4 balanced for body weight and fed 7 diets in a completely randomized design (6 groups/diet) from day 1 to 21 of age. The diets were a corn-soybean meal basal diet, and the corn-soybean meal basal diet to which monosodium phosphate, brown- or yellow-seeded pea was added at the expense of cornstarch to supply 0.5% or 1% total phosphorus. Monosodium phosphate was included as a reference, and hence the estimated bioavailability of P in pea cultivars was relative to that in the monosodium phosphate. Birds and feed were weighed weekly and on d 21 they were killed to obtain tibia. The brown-seeded pea contained 23.4% crude protein, 0.47% P, whereas the yellow-seeded pea contained 24.3% crude protein and 0.38% P. Increasing dietary P supply improved (p<0.05) chick body weight gain and tibia ash and bone density. The estimated relative bioavailability of p values for brown- and yellow-seeded peas obtained using final body weight, average daily gain, tibia ash, and bone mineral density were 31.5% and 36.2%, 35.6% and 37.3%, 23.0% and 5.60%, and 40.3% and 30.3%, respectively. The estimated relative bioavailability of p values for brown- and yellow-seeded peas did not differ within each of the response criteria measured in this study. In conclusion, the relative bioavailability of P in pea did not differ depending on the cultivar (brown- vs yellow-seed). However, the relative bioavailability of P in pea may vary depending on the response criterion used to measure the bioavailability.

Tannic acid(0.5mg/ml , 1.0mg/ml, 2.0mg/ml)와 카드뮴(20mg/kg)을 마우스에 경구투여한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1.Tannic acid와 카드뮴을 투여한 마우스의 증체량과 음수소비량에 변화가 있었으나, 카드뮴투여에 의한 변화는 tannic acid 투여에 의하여 감소되었다. 2. 카드뮴투여에 의하여 간장의 상대중량과 뇌 상대중량이 대조군에 비하여 유의한 변화가 있었으며, tannic acid 1.0mg/ml 투여군에서는 간장의 상대중량, 폐장의 상대중량, 흉선의 상대중량도 유의하게 변화하였다. (P<0.05). 3. Hemoglobin contents, packed cell volume, platelet count, neutrophill count 등의 혈액학적인 변화는 대조군에 비하여 카드뮴 투여군에서 유의한 변화가 인정되었다. 그러나 이러한 유의한 변화가 tannic acid를 동시 투여한 군에서는 나타나지 않았다. 4. 카드뮴을 투여한 군에서는 혈청학적 변화(ALT, AST, BUN와 creatinine)가 있었으나 tannic acid 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/ml을 동시 투여한 군에서는 회복되는 경향이 나타났다. 위의 결과로 미루어 카드뮴 투여에 의한 독성이 tannic acid을 2.0mg/ml/day 이상 4주간 투여했을 때 경감효과가 나타날 수 있었다. 그러나, 카드뮴과 같은 중금속의 독성에 tannic acid가 어떻게 경감효과를 나타내는지에 대한 작용기전의 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

As various metabolic alterations develope in uremic patients. their diets need to be restricted, Furthermore medical complications with accompanying anorexia result in further complications and decrease in body strength. To assess the nutritional status of hemodialyzed patients we performed evaluation for dietary intake and protein catabolic rate(PCR) For 24 clinically stable male patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis dietary intake was estimated by 3-day food record method and PCR was calculated with blood urea nitrogen at pre and post hemodialysis. The results were as follows : 1) Average daily energy and protein intake were 26.7$\pm$5.1kcal/kg of body weight. 0.95$\pm$0.19 g/kg of body weight respectively. 2) Protein catabolic rate calculated from interdialysis blood urea nitrogen levels was 1.00$\pm$0.20g/kg of body weight. Protein catabolic rate was correlated with the amount of Protein intake(r=0.44 p<0.05) 3) Relative body weight(RBW) of the subjects was smaller than that of healthy man without hemodialysis. Calorie and protein intake and protein catabolic rate were significantly different (p<0.05) between patients with lower RBW(<90% of ideal body weight) and those with normal RBW(90~110% of ideal body weight) and those with normal RBW(90~110% of iedal body weight) 4) The duration of hemodialysis did not have a significant effect on the nutritional status of the subjects.

This paper describes a deadweight force standard machine with the weight change mechanism which can be used as a primary force standards at a national metrology institute. Since commercial deadweight force machine can generate forces by hanging weights to the weight supporter serially, force steps from deadweight force measuring devices of each having different capacity. In order to increase the force steps, we have specially designed a weight mechanism in which the machine can select the necessary weights and generate the load by hanging the selected weights to the weight supporter. The machine can generate 속 force of the range of 2 kN to 110 kN with force step of 1 kN. All weights have been accurately compensated and calibrated by a mass comparator and its standard uncertainty is less than 2.2 ${\times}\;10^{-6}$. The relative expanded uncertainty of the machine is 1.3 ${\times}\;10^{-5}$.

Anticarcinogenic activity of astaxanthin-contatining egg yolk(designate AEY) was investigated for mouse ascites carcinogenesis induced by mouse Sarcoma-180(S-180) cells. Female ICR mice(8mice/treatment, 7∼8weeks of age, 25±1g) were injected, i.p. with S-180 cells(1×107cell/ml PBS). Two days later, each mouse was given 0.1ml PBS containing AEY(10, 25 or 50ug/g body weight) or control egg yolk (CEY; 50ug/g body weight) every other day for 7 times. Control mice were only given 0.1ml S-180 cells and 0.1ml PBS. Mice treated with 25ug/g body weight of AEY showed 24.8 days of life, which was equivalent to 138% of control mice's life(180.0 dyas). Based on dose-dependant experiment of AFY, mice treated with 10ug/g body weight showed slightly longer life(19.4 days) relative to mice treated with control mice, and mice treated with 50ug/g body weight exhibited 21.9 days of life. Mice treated with any dose of AEY exhibited longer life than mice with CEY 50ug/g body weight. Body weight of mice treated with AEY was reduced relative to that of control mice CEY-treated mice. These results suggest than AEY inhibits the carcinogenesis of mouse ascites induced by S-180 cells.
