This study was investigated the condition of their maximum activity to assay the enzymes of rotifer, Brachionus rotundiformis의 $\alpha$-amylase, total alkaline Protease, trypsin and TG-lipase activities of rotifer were higher and more sensitive in phosphate-NaOH buffer than Tris-HCl buffer. $\alpha$-amylase, trypsin and TG-lipase activities were appeared the maximum at pH 8.0, and total alkaline protease activity showed the maximum activity at pH 7.0. $\alpha$-amylase activity showed the highest activity at $40^{\circ}C$, and total alkaline protease and trypsin activities were assayed the highest at $55{\~}60^{\circ}C$. However, TG-lipase activity was appeared the highest at $25{\~}30^{\circ}C$. The optimum substrate concentration of enzyme activity of a-amylase, total alkaline protease, rypsin and TG-lipase were $3.5\%$ starch, $\0.6%$ azo-casein, $87.5{\mu}M$ BApNA and 81.2 mM olive oil, respectively. The optimum reaction time of enzyme activity of $\alpha$-amylase, total alkaline protease, trypsin and TG-lipase were increased up to 40, 60, 30 and 25 min., respectively. The data obtained in this study could be used for the digestive enzyme research of rotifer, B. rotundiformis.

It is known that 1,3-diglyceride (1,3-DG) hardly accumulates inside human body because the metabolism of 1,3-DG is entirely different from that of general fats such as triglycerides (TG). This research focuses on the selective synthesis of 1,3-DG by the esterification reaction using an immobilized lipase. For a reaction between glycerin and oleic acid (OA) with a mole ratio of 1 : 2 under vacuum, changes in the compositions of monoglyceride (MG), TG and DG and the contents of 1,3-isomers in DG were investigated, as a function of reaction temperature and the amount of lipase. The reactivities determined by the rate of the consumption of OA became higher with increased in temperature and the amount of lipase. Changes in the compositions of MG, DG and TG, however, occurred after the DG content reached maximum, which were found to be dependent on various factors. TG was a main product, and significant decrease in the amount of both 1,3-DG and DG were observed, when reactions were carried out at high temperatures or when 10 wt% of lipase was used.

The reactivities determined by the rate of the consumption of OA became higher with the increase in temperature and the amount of lipase. When the results were compared with those obtained in the earlier study where Novozym was applied as an immobilized lipase, the reactivity was higher for Novozym, on the other hand, selectivity to 1,3-DG was much higher for Lipozyme. Especially, it is remarkable that 1,3-DG content in total DG reached to 98% in the reaction carried out at $50^{\circ}C$ using Lipozyme.

Fatty acids of Gingko biloba lipid and its binding position were determined by using pancreatic lipase. Optimum conditions for hydrolysis of glyceride were found as 9mg of lipase and 5 min reaction time for 50 mg of TG. The results showed that oleic acid and linoleic acid were presented about 40% and 29.7%, respectively, but linoleic acid was very small comparing with other seeds. It was found that both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were almost equally distributed at ${\beta}\;and\;{\alpha}{\cdot}{\alpha}'-position$ of TG.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Elevation of postprandial lipemia characterized by a rise in triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins can increase the risk of atherogenesis. The objective of this study was to investigate postprandial lipemia response to a single dietary fat/sugar load test and monitor beneficial changes induced by the consumption of Platycodi radix (AP) beverage in healthy subjects. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 52 subjects were randomly assigned to either placebo or AP beverage group with a high-fat shake in a randomized controlled crossover trial. Postprandial blood was collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h and analyzed for TG and lipoprotein lipase mass. Inhibition of pancreatic lipase was determined in vitro. RESULTS: AP inhibited pancreatic lipase activity in vitro ($IC_{50}=5mg/mL$). Compared to placebo beverage, AP beverage consumption with a high-fat shake induced significant increase of plasma lipoprotein lipase mass (P = 0.0111, ${\beta}$ estimate = 4.2948) with significant reduction in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) TG concentration (P = 0.038, ${\beta}$ estimate = -52.69) at 6 h. Based on significant correlation between high-fat dietary scores MEDFICTS and postprandial TG responses in VLDL (P = 0.0395, r = 0.2127), subgroup analysis revealed that 6 h-postprandial VLDL TG response was significantly decreased by AP consumption in subjects with MEDFICTS ${\geq}40$ (P = 0.0291, ${\beta}$ estimate = -7214). CONCLUSIONS: AP beverage might have potential to alleviate postprandial lipemia through inhibiting pancreatic lipase activity and elevating lipoprotein lipase mass. Subgroup analysis revealed that subjects with high-fat dietary pattern could be classified as responders to AP beverage among all subjects.

Pancreatic lipase-inhibitory activity of the rhizome of Rhei Rhizoma and its antihyperlipidemic activity were measured. Rhei Rhizoma inhibited pancreatic lipase with $IC_{50}$ value of 6.5 mg/ml (triolein as a substrate). Rhei Rhizoma significantly inhibited serum TG level in corn oil feeding-induced mice, and serum TG and cholesterol in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice. However, Rhei Rhizoma did not show the hypolipidemic activity in high cholesterol diet-induced hyperlipidemic mice. When in vitro pancreatic lipase-inhibitory and in vivo antihyperlipidemic activities of Whangryunhaedoktang (WT) and Chunghyuldan (CD), which is consisted of ingredients of WT and Rhei Rhizoma, were measured, CD exhibited more potent inhibitory activities than WT. Therefore these results suggest that antihyperlipidemic activity of Rhei Rhizoma and CD may be more or less originated from the inhibition of pancreatic lipase.

To elucidate the effect of ginseng saponin on adrenaline-induced hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, ginseng saponin was administered before and after administration of adrenaline, and concentration of glucose, triglyceride(TG), and free fatty acid (FFA) as well as lipase activity in plasma was determined. 1) Glucose concentration was slightly increased by administration of ginseng saponin at 1 hour before and 10 minutes after adrenaline administration, but decreased by administration of ginseng saponin at 7 and 4 hours before adrenaline administration. TG and FFA concentration was also greatly inhibited by administration of ginseng saponin in advance. 2) When gineseng saponin 3, 10, 30mg/kg were administered 7 hours before adrenaline administration, glucose and TG concentration as well as lipase activity were inhibited in proportion to the dose of ginseng saponin, but FFA concentration was slightly inhibited. 3) It was suggested that protopanaxatriol group have potentiating effect on adrenaline induced hyperglycemia but protopanaxadiol group have inhibitory effect. And ginseng saponin seems to have strong inhibitory action on TG mobilization into blood and stimulatory effect on esterification of FFA in liver and adipose tissue.

Hypolipidemic effect of Insamsansa-eum (ISE, Ren-Shen-Shan-Zah-Yin in Chinese) consisted of Red ginseng (RG; the steamed root of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) and Crataegii fructus (CF, the fruit of Crataegus pinnatifida BGE) is used frequently in China and Korea as a herbal medicine to treat arteriosclerosis, was investigated. Treatment of ISE significantly reduced blood triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice and serum TG levels in corn oil-induced hypertriglyceridemic mice. ISE significantly lowered the high blood TG and TC levels as well as body and epididymal mass weights in hyperlipidemic mice induced by long-term feeding of a high-fat diet and increased blood HDL cholesterol level. ISE and its ingredients, RG and CF, inhibited pancreatic lipase and HMG-CoA reductase activities. Of its ingredients, RG reduced the blood TC level and HMG-CoA reductase activity more than CF. CF reduced blood TG level and pancreatic lipase activity more than RG. These finding suggest that the antihyperlipidemic effect of ISE may be due to synergistic inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase and pancreatic lipase by RG and CF, and that ISE may be effective hypolipidemic agents.

The purpose of this study was to suggest that selecting method of rotifer with high activity of digestive enzymes for the enrichment effect of rotifer and the increasing of digestive enzymes of fish larvae. the populations assayed the activities of the digestive enzymes were randomly selected out of several population communities cultured with freshwater condensed Chlorella. The relationship with the population density and the growth rate of selected populations was shown to RD=5865 SGR-350.08(P<0.001). The relationships with fecundity of the growth rate and the population density were shown to F=-36.147 SGR+61.652(P<0.05) and F=-0.0085 RD+66.38(P<0.001), respectively. The relationships of the growth rate and the individual activities of digestive enzymes in rotifer were assayed to Amyl=-1.6482 SGR+3.2498(P<0.05), TAP=-0.8115 SGR+1.1361(P<0.001) and TGL+0.0055 SGR+0.0079(P=0.239), respectively. But in TG-lipase was not related significantly with the growth rate. Also the relationships of the fecundity and the individual activities of digestive enzymes in rotifer were shown to Amyl=0.0296 F+1.0981(P<0.001), TAP=0.0252 F+0.0975(P<0.001) and TGL=-6E-06 F+0.0113(P=0.915), respectively. But in TG-lipase was not related significantly with the fecundity. And the relationships with the specific activity of TG-lipase of the fecundity, the growth rate and the population density were TGL=-0.024 F+0.2332(P=0.132), TGL=0.1267 SGR+0.005(P<0.01) and TGL=0.0002 F-0.0594(P<0.001), respectively. In this case, specific activity of TG-lipase was shown the significant relationship with the population density and the growth rate, but it was not related significantly with fecundity. Therefore, Because a population shown the high activity of digestive enzymes for increasing a lipid enrichment effect of a rotifers and receiving the many exogenous digestive enzymes to fish larvae was the population of high fecundity than the population of high rotifer density, to select the population of a high fecundity was suggested to benefit than a high growth rate for fish larvae.

Diglyceride (DG) was prepared by reaction of soybean oil and glycerol in the presence of lipase. The initial rate of DG production was greatly affected by the amount of lipase. However the DG content at equilibrium was hardly affected by the amount of lipase added to the reaction mixture. The initial rate of FFA formation was highly affected by the moisture content between 0.5 and 2.3%, but at higher water content (3.3-5.2%), there was a small increase in the rate. And DG content at equilibrium slowly increased with the increase of the water content in glycerol up to 4.4%. However, there was a sharp decrease in DG content at higher water content (5.2-6.4%) due to higher free fatty acid production. The highest yield of DC was obtained at the temperature ranges of 30-5$0^{\circ}C$. The final yield of DG was not dependent on the glycerol (GL) to triglyceride (TG) molar ratio. However, at the molar ratio of 0.75:1 (GL/TG), the enzyme-catalyzed reaction was highly efficient and utilized all the glycerol. In optimized conditions for glycerolysis a yield of approximately 45% DG was obtained. 66% of total DG was 1,3-DG.
