In order to examine the antioxidant activities of SJDBT(Sibjeondaebo-tang), the study was done through measurement of parameters such as LPO(lipidperoxidation), GSH(glutathione), SOD(superoxidation dismutase), catalase, GOT, GPT, ALP. The results were obtained as follows: For the weight changes, the kidney and testis of group given SJDBT showed decrease in the weight compared to the control group, and the left cerebrum, right cerebrum, cerebellum and liver of group given SJDBT showed increase. But the changes were not significant. The left cerebrum and right cerebrum of group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO compared to the control group, and in the activity of SOD and catalase showed significant increase. The cerebellum of group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO and GSH compared to the control group, and in the activity of SOD and catalase showed significant increase. For the changes of LPO, GSH in the liver, the group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO and GSH compared to the control group, and in the activity of catalase showed significant increase. For the changes of LPO in the kidney, the group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO compared to the control group. For the changes of LPO, GSH and the activity of SOD, catalase in the testis, the group given SJDBT showed significant decrease in the content of LPO and GSH compared to the control group, and in the activity of SOD and catalase showed significant increase. From above results, the antioxidant action of SJDBT is effective. And it is expected to be necessary to the study of the mechanism in the antioxidant of SJDBT.

본 연구는 뜰보리수 열매의 식품영양학적 평가 및 기능성 물질 발굴의 일환으로 뜰보리수 열매를 이용하여 성숙과정 중의 free radical 소거능을 비롯한 SOD유사활성, 아질산염 소거작용, xanthine oxidase 저해활성 등의 항산화 활성을 조사하였다. 뜰보리수 에탄올 추출물의 전자공여능은 성숙함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 에탄올 추출물의 농도가 높을수록 전자공여능의 효과는 더욱 높게 나타났다. 에탄올 추출물의 SOD 유사활성은 성숙정도에 따른 증가하였고, 농도에 비례하였다. 뜰보리수 열매의 에탄을 추출물의 아질산염 소거능은 pH가 낮을수록 높았으며, 농도가 증가할수록 아질산염 소거 작용이 높게 나타났다. Xanthine oxidase 활성 저해능은 완숙과 과숙과실의 추출물에 비해서 미숙과실 추출물에서 높았다.

This study was started to find out if plasma malondialdehyde(MDA), $\alpha-tocopherol$ and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity could be markers of biological activity resulting from exposed to lead in workers. Blood samples were randomly obtained from lead-exposed workers(n=29), $CO_2$, welders(n=60) and office workers(n=60). We used whole blood to analyse blood lead with atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Superoxide dismutase activity in erythrocyte was measured with spetrophotometer. MDA and $\alpha-tocopherol$ in plasma were measured with high performance liquid chromatography. Lead-exposed workers was significantly high in blood lead concentration$(29.37{\mu}g/d\ell)$ compared with welders$(6.42{\mu}g/d\ell)$ and office workers$(5.01{\mu}g/d\ell)$. The level of plasma MDA was significantly higher in the lead-exposed workers($1.87{\mu}mol/g$ cholesterol) than the welders($1.41{\mu}mol/g$ cholesterol) and office workers($1.41{\mu}mol/g$ cholesterol). Erythrocyte SOD activity in lead-exposed workers(56.80 U/g Hb) was significantly increased than those of welders(37.63 U/g Hb) and office workers(20.47 U/g Hb). The plasma $\alpha-tocopherol$ level of lead-exposed workers($4.93{\mu}g/g$ cholesterol) was statistically different from welders($4.25{\mu}g/g$ cholesterol) and office workers$4.28{\mu}g/g$ cholesterol). Neither age nor smoking was related to SOD or MDA level. Blood lead was significantly correlated with erythrocyte SOD activity(r=0.405), plasma MDA(r=0.296) and $\alpha-tocopherol$ (r=0.207). Plasma MDA was also significantly correlated with SOD (r=0.217). In multiple regression analysis, the change of MDA and SOD activity level related to the blood lead concentration. These results suggested that the increase of plasma MDA and erythrocyte SOD activity in lead-exposed workers had a close relationship with the oxidative stress induced by lead.

It has been believed that the increased release of free oxygen radicals and their tissue damaging potency might be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase can protect the tissue damage from the free oxygen radicals($O_2^-,H_2O_2$, and $OH^-$). In order to investigate the SOD- and catalase - activity in the blood plasma and red blood cells(RBCs) of the patients with perodontitis, 19 male periodontitis patients($25{\sim}35$ years old) who had good general health, more than 10 teeth with severely inflamed gingiva, attachment loss more than 6mm and bone loss were selected as periodontitis group, and 13 male volunteers($22{\sim}29$ years old) with good general and periodontal health were selected as normal group. After blood plasma and RBC were separated from peripheral blood of 2ml collected from antecubital vein of each subject, SOD- activity in blood plasma and RBCs was measured by the same method that Paoletti et al. did, and catalase - activity in RBC was measured by the same method that Beers et al, did. The difference of SOD- and catalase - activity between the normal and the periodontitis groups was statistically analyzed by Student t-test with SPSS/PC program.The results were as follows : 1. SOD activity in blood plasma was significantly lower in the periodontitis group($1.986{\pm}0.893$) than in the normal group($3.324{\pm}1.044$)(p<0.05). 2. There was no statistical significance in the difference of SOD- activity in RBCs between the periodontitis group($7.753{\pm}3.206$) and the normal group($8.116{\pm}1.192$)(p$242.8{\pm}45.6$) than in the normal group($280.2{\pm}32.6$)(p

감잎차의 효과적인 제조법 및 음용방법을 조사하기 위해 세가지 방법(재래식, 증자법, 발효법)에 의해 감잎으로부터 감잎차를 제조하여 vitamin C와 SOD 유사활성의 변화를 조사하였다. Vitamin C는 발효법에 의해 제조된 감잎차에서 가장 함량이 높았으며 이 수치는(551.85 mg%) 생감잎에 들어 있는 vitamin C의 (1173.67 mg%) 47%에 해당하는 양이며 재래식 및 증자법에 의한 감잎차에 대해 각각 42배, 8배나 되는 많은 양임이 밝혀졌다. 반면 SOD 유사활성은 재래식(833.33 SOD unit/g)과 발효법(816.33 SOD unit/g)에 의해 제조된 감잎차가 증자법(754.72 SOD unit/g)에 비해 조금 높은 것으로 나타났지만 절대 수치에서는 큰 차이가 없었다. 추출온도와 시간에 따라 증자법 감잎차의 vitamin C는 온도에 상관없이 추출시간의 증가에 따라 조금씩 감소하였다. 발효법 감잎차는 $60^{\circ}C$와 $70^{\circ}C$에서는 추출량이 시간의 증가에 따라 대체적으로 증가하였으나 $80^{\circ}C$와 $90^{\circ}C$에서는 추출시간 5분까지는 증가하고 이후에는 감소하였다. 발효법 감잎차의 vitamin C의 최적 추출조건은 $80^{\circ}C$와 $90^{\circ}C$에서 3분과 5분이었고 $70^{\circ}C$에서는 5분과 10분 그리고, $60^{\circ}C$에서는 10분이었다. 재래식 감잎차의 vitamin C는 그 양이 적어 실험에 사용된 DNP법에 의해서는 측정할 수 없었다. SOD유사활성을 살펴볼 때 재래식 및 증자법 감잎차는 추출시간에 따라 $80^{\circ}C$와 $90^{\circ}C$에서 조금씩 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며 발효법 감잎차는 $80^{\circ}C$와 $90^{\circ}C$에서 증가${\rightarrow}$감소${\rightarrow}$증가하는 경향을 보였고 재래식 및 증자법에 의한 감잎차보다 $80^{\circ}C$와 $90^{\circ}C$ 경우 추출시간에 관계없이 모든 조건에서 높은 활성을 나타냈으며 SOD 유사활성 물질의 최적 추출조건은 3분과 10분이었다.

Expression of human Cu.Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) with activity comparable to human erythrocyte enzyme was achieved in E. coli B21(DE3) by using the pET-17b expression vector containing a T7 promoter. Recombinant human SOD was found in the cytosol of disrupted bacterial cells and represented > 25% of the total bacterial proteins. The protein produced by the E. coli cells was purified using a combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sephacryl S-100 gel filtration and DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatography. The recombinant Cu,Zn-SOD and human erythrocyte enzyme were compared using dismutation activity, SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting analysis. The mass of the subunits was determined to be 15,809 by using a electrospray mass spectrometer. The copper specific chelator. diethyldithiocarbamate (DOC) reacted with the recombinant Cu,Zn-SOD. At $50{\mu}M$ and $100{\mu}M$ concentrations of DOC, the dismutation activity was not inhibited for one hour but gradually reduced after one hour. This result suggests that the reaction of DOC with the enzyme occurred in two distinct phases (phase I and phase II). During phase I of this reaction, one DOC reacted with the copper center, with retention of the dismutation activity while the second DOC displaced the copper, with a loss of activity in phase II.

The effects of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase on the toxicity of paraquat(PQ) were studied using diethyldithiocarbamate(DDC), 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole(AT) which are inhibitors of Cu, Zn-SOD and catalase in rats. Sprague Dawley rats were divide into 6 groups: control, DDC, PQ, AT, DDC+PQ, and AT+PQ group. The PQ (50 mg/kg body weight(BW); about half dose of $LD_{50}$) was administered with orally, otherwise AT(1.0g/kg BW) and DDC(1.0g/kg BW) were administered by intrperitoneal(iP) injection. The survival rate of rats in PQ+AT group was significantly decreased compared with PQ group while the difference of survival rate between DDC group and DDC+PQ group was not significant. The SOD activity after administration of DDC was decreased in liver, lung and kidney, but catalase activity was not changed. The catalase activity in liver, lung and kidney of AT treated rats was decreased, while SOD activity was not changed in this group. The effects of DDC and AT to the PQ toxicity was also observed in primary cultured rat Skin fibroblasts. The viable cells that was measured with MTT method, was decreased in AT+PQ treated group compared to PQ treated group, but the difference of cell viability between DDC treat group and DDC+PQ treated group was not observed. This result, AT potentlate PQ toxicity while DDC were not affect, suggested that the decreased catalase activity lead to elevation of hydrogen peroxide levels and PQ toxicity may be correlate with the hydrogen peroxide rather than the superoxides.

Background: In this study, we have investigated the effect of Korean red ginseng (KRG) extracts on the production of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-8 in human keratinocytes. Also, to examine the antioxidative effect of red ginseng extracts, free radical scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in human dermal fibroblasts was measured. Methods: To investigate the effect of KRG in atopic dermatitis, we measured the level of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-8 secretion in LPS-stimulated human keratinocytes after the treatment of KRG extracts using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Anti-oxidative activity was investigated by measuring 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and SOD activity. Results: The stimulation of human keratinocytes with KRG extracts shifted the LPS-induced cytokine secretion toward a more immunosuppressive response. KRG dose-dependently decreased TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-8 production in HaCaT cells and a significant inhibition of TNF-${\alpha}$ was shown when cells were treated with 500 and $1,000{\mu}g/ml$ of KRG extracts. Additionally, KRG extracts showed DPPH radical scavenging and SOD activity in a dose-dependent manner. Particularly, SOD activities of concentrations higher than $60{\mu}g/ml$ of KRG extracts were significantly different in human dermal fibroblast cells. Conclusion: Based on this study, KRG extracts may be a useful immunosuppressive agent in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.

Actively growin Excherichia coli(KCTC 1039) cells were treated with paraquat (1, 1'-dimethyl-4, 4'-bipyridili-um dichloride) by cultivating them in the presence of 1.0mM paraquat. The treatment was carried out with or without shaking to understand the effect of oxygen on paraquat action to thebacterial superoxide dismutase (SOd). By the treatment with vigorous shaking , population growth of the organism almostly stopped and specific activities of SOD of the cells drastically decreased. On contrast ot it, the herbicide showed only l limited inhibitory action on bacterial growth and SOD activity by stationary treatment. Proteins prepared from parquat-treated cells divided into two peaks by Sephacryl column chormatogrpahy, while proteins from the intact cells formed a single peak. Cytoplasmic proteins and plasma membrane proteins of intact cells formed separated three peaks by Sephadex G-75 column chormatography. respectively. Among them the second peak disappeared by paraquat treatment , while the third peak became more apparent. Fractions from the first and the third peak showed SOD activity. Paraquat was detected from the same fractions.

The covalent conjugation of human recombinant superoxide dismutase (hrSOD) with trichloros-triazine activated polyethylene glycol (PEG) 5000 formed soluble conjugates with molecular weight of 92KD, which retained $90{\sim}98%$ of original activity with a markedly prolonged plasma half-life of enzyme activity. The effect of hrSOD-PEG conjugates on acetaminophen (ACP)-induced hepatotoxicity was tested in male rats which were pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene. HrSOD-PEG conjugates inhibited the hepatotoxicity produced by ACP, on the other hand, native hrSOD had no protective effect. The above results indicated that oxygen radicals might participate in the mechanism of the ACP-induced hepatotoxicity and that polymer conjugated-protein drugs with prolonged half-lives could be employed as an effective therapeutic agent.
