In this study, the quality characteristics of salad dressing prepared with mulberry, Schisandra chinensis, and Discorea powder were evaluated. Salad dressing was prepared with salad base (plain yogurt : mayonnaise : fresh cream = 8:1:1), mulberry, Schisandra chinensis for acidity, and Discorea powder for viscosity (4:4:6:1 or 4:4:6:3). Discorea powder was added at levels of 0, 7, and 18% to the salad dressing. As the concentration of Discorea powder increased, the pH level increased, and acidity decreased. Hunter's color L (lightness) value of salad dressing decreased as the amount of Discorea powder increased. Viscosity increased according to the amount of Discorea powder. Moreover, total phenolic content increased according to the amount of Discorea powder. Further, DPPH antioxidant and hydroxyl radical activity of mulberry salad dressing increased as the amount of Discorea powder increased. Sensory preference test results showed that the salad dressing added with Discorea powder had higher scores for color, flavor, taste, and texture than the control. Regarding overall preference, salad dressing containing 7% Discorea powder had the highest scores among the treatments. From these results, salad dressing containing mulberry, Schisandra chinensis for acidity, and Discorea powder for viscosity could be a functional salad dressing with high antioxidant activity.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Male hypogonadism is a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone and significantly impacts health. Age, obesity, genetics, and oxidative stress are some physiological factors that may contribute to testosterone deficiency. Previous studies have shown many pharmacological benefits of Schisandra chinensis (S. chinensis) Baillon as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. However, the molecular mechanism of attenuating hypogonadism is yet to be well established. This research was undertaken to study the effects of S. chinensis extract (SCE) on testosterone deficiency. MATERIALS/METHODS: S. chinensis fruit was pulverized and extracted using 60% aqueous ethanol. HPLC analysis was performed to analyze and quantify the lignans of the SCE. RESULTS: The 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) scavenging assays confirmed that the SCE and its major lignans (schisandrol A and gomisin N) inhibit oxidative stress. Effects of SCE analysis on the testosterone level under oxidative stress conditions revealed that both schisandrol A and gomisin N were able to recover the lowered testosterone levels. Through mRNA expression of TM3 Leydig cell, we observed that the SCE lignans were able to induce the enzymes involved in testosterone biosynthesis-related genes such as 3β-HSD4 (P < 0.01 for SCE, and P < 0.001 for schisandrol A and gomisin N), 17β-HSD3 (P < 0.001 for SCE, schisandrol A and gomisin N), and 17, 20-desmolase (P < 0.01 for schisandrol A, and P < 0.001 for SCE and gomisin N). CONCLUSIONS: These results support that SCE and its active components could be potential therapeutic agents for regulating and increasing testosterone production.

Sepsis is a life-threatening, infectious, systemic inflammatory disease. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effect of α-cubebenoate, a novel compound isolated from Schisandra chinensis against polymicrobial sepsis in a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) experimental model. Administration of α-cubebenoate strongly enhanced survival in the CLP model. α-cubebenoate administration also markedly blocked CLP-induced lung inflammation and increased bactericidal activity by enhancing phagocytic activity and hydrogen peroxide generation in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages and neutrophils. Expression of two important inflammatory cytokines, IL-1 and IL-6, was strongly increased in the CLP model, and this was dramatically blocked by α-cubebenoate. Lymphocyte apoptosis and caspase-3 activation, which are associated with immune paralysis during sepsis, were markedly attenuated by α-cubebenoate. Taken together, our findings indicate that α-cubebenoate, a natural compound isolated from Schisandra chinensis, is a powerful potential anti-septic agent. [BMB Reports 2015; 48(6): 336-341]

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of Ligustrum lucidum (LL) and Schisandra chinensis (SC) on the growth, antioxidative metabolism and immunity of laying strain male chicks. The results showed that diets supplemented with 1% of either LL or SC had no effects on the growth performance of chicks compared with the control. Furthermore, both LL and SC significantly reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration of serum and heart of chicks (p<0.05). In addition, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of serum of the birds was significantly elevated by supplementation with SC (p<0.05). Glutathione reductase (GR) activity of heart and serum of the birds was significantly elevated by supplementation with LL or SC (p<0.05). LL supplementation significantly elevated antibody values against Newcastle Disease virus (NDV)(p<0.05) and lymphoblastogenesis (p<0.05) of the birds. The results suggest that diets supplemented with 1% of either LL or SC may improve immune function and antioxidant status of chicks.

This study was executed to evaluate the effects of natural herbal medicine extract on the antimicrobial activity and the artificial plaque formation. Schisandra chinensis, Sophora flavescens, Dryopteris crassirhizoma and Aristolochia contorta were extracted by 80% MeOH respectively and each concentration(5mg, 10mg, 20mg) of herbal medicine extract was tested to show the antimicrobial activity against S. mutans. To show the inhibition effect of herbal medicine extract on the artificial dental plaque formation each extract of 0.4% concentration was added into M 17 broth and inoculated with $5.0{\times}10^6$ of S. mutans. After 24 hour incubation each weight of artificial dental plaque was measured and compared with each other. Results obtained are as follows: 1. Dryopteris crassirhizoma showed very intense antimicrobial effect but Schisandra chinensis, Sophora flavescens and Aristolochia contorta showed a little difference against control. 2. Regarding artificial plaque formation inhibiting activity by each herbal extract at 0.4% concentration, Dryopteris crassirhizoma showed the perfect inhibition effect. Schisandra chinensis and Aristolochia contorta followed in order but Sophora flavescens showed the worst value. In conclusion, Dryopteris crassirhizoma showed strong antimicrobial effect against S. mutans and significant inhibiting effect on the artificial dental plaque formation.

This study determined the economic impact of environment-friendly cultivation and the optimal cultivation area of Omija (Korean for Schisandra chinensis Baillon) for full-time farmers by analyzing the management performance of existing Omija cultivators. The study divided the target income into urban household income and Omija farm income, and estimate the optimal cultivation area by substituting the target profit from the cost-volume-profit analysis model. The optimum cultivation area was 1.4 ha for general cultivation, 1.08 ha for organic cultivation, and 1.18 ha for pesticide-free farming cultivation considering the average urban household income as the target, and 0.81 ha for general cultivation, 0.63 ha for organic cultivation, and 0.69 ha for pesticide-free farming, considering the average 2012 farm household income as the target. Therefore, the study reached conclusion that it is necessary to secure the price of Omija farm and stable support for income increase. Therefore, the support plan for income stabilization of Omija farm should be considered. Especially, the central government should provide various policies and financial support to help the optimal cultivation area of Omija Farm.

The lignan compound of Schisandra chinensis Baill. (Schizandraceae) has been reported to have a variety of biological activities such as liver protection, neuroprotection, anti-oxidant and anti-diabetes. In this study, we investigated a quantitative analytical method for schisandrin, gomisin A and gomisin $M_2$ isolated from S. chinensis by high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet spectroscopy (HPLC-UV). The isolated compounds were identified by the analysis of 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopic data. The results showed that calibration curves of three compounds indicated great linearity with a correlation coefficient ($R^2$) of schisandrin 0.9983, gomisin A 0.9982 and gomisin $M_2$ 0.9986. The limits of detection (LOD) of schisandrin, gomisin A and gomisin $M_2$ were 0.14, 0.07 and $0.05{\mu}g/ml$ and the limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.42, 0.22 and $0.14{\mu}g/ml$. Intra-day and inter-day precisions of schisandrin were 0.40~1.44%, 0.07~1.02% gomsin A were 0.22~0.52%, 0.10~0.63%, gomisin $M_2$ were 0.40~0.99%, 0.81~2.88%. In result, contents of schisandrin, gomisin A and gomisin $M_2$ in ethanol extract of S. chinensis were $25.95{\pm}0.15$, $2.51{\pm}0.02$ and $2.17{\pm}0.07mg/g$.
