  • The growth of the algae strains Neochloris oleabundans, Botryococcus Braunii and Dunaliella sp. under mixotrophic conditions in the presence of different concentrations of crude glycerol was evaluated with the objective of increasing the biomass growth and algal oil content. A high biomass concentration was characteristic of these strains when grown on crude glycerol compared to autotrophic growth, and 5 g/L glycerol yielded the highest biomass concentration for these strains. Mixotrophic conditions improved both the growth of the microalgae and the accumulation of triacylglycerols (TAGs). The maximum amount of TAGs in the algal strains was obtained in the 5 g/L glycerol growth medium. The fatty acid profiles of the oil for the cultures met the necessary requirements and are promising resources for biofuel production.

  • Total lipids extracted from the powdered seeds of Carum roxburghianum were fractionated into hydrocarbons (0.30%), wax esters (0.30%), sterol esters (1.35%), triacylglycerols (72.41%), free fatty acids (6.06%), 1,3-diacylglycerols (4.60%), 1,2- diacylglycerols (0.64%), glycolipids (5.10%), sterols (1.20%), 2-monoacylgylcerols (3.18%), 1-monoacylglycerols (1.46%), phosphatidylethanolamines (1.08%) phosphatidylcholines (0.40%), lysophosphatidylethanolamines (1.48%) and phosphatidylinositols (0.44%) with the help of TLC. The fatty acid composition of all the lipid fractions was determined after converting them into their methyl esters with $BF_3-methanol$ reagent and then analyzing them by GC. Oleic acid was found as a major component in all the lipid classes, whereas palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids were present in lesser quantities. Arachidic acid was identified as a minor component in only seven out of twelve lipid classes.

  • Total lipid content, lipid class and fatty acid composition of the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba collected from the water of King George Island, Antarctica during austral summer of 1997-1998, were investigated. The overall lipid content of 5. superba was 72 mg/g dry mass similar to the reported values for most temperate species. The neutral lipid of E. superba was 29% of the total lipid and that of phospholipid was 71%. The majority of neutral lipid was triacylglycerols(31.6% of neutral lipids) while phosphatidyl choline (44% of phospholipid) was the most abundunt in phospholipids. The quantitative composition of the fatty acid in E. superba show consisting mostly of the saturated 16:0 (16.6% -22.1%), along with the polyunsaturated 20:5(n-3) (20.6% -22.1%) and 22:6(n-3) (14.9% -16.9%) acids.

  • Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) I san enzyme that catalyzed the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols of chylomicrons and VLDL to produce 20acylglycerols and fatty acids. The enzyme, LPL, is localized on the surface of the capillary endothelium and is widely distributed in extrahepatic tissues including heart, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. LPL has been isolated from boving milk by affinity chromatography on heparin-separose in 2 M NaCL, 5mM barbital buffer, pH 7.4. To elucidate the lipid-binding regin, LPL was digested with trypsin and then separated by gel filtration. Lipid binding region of LPL has been investigated by recombining LPL peptides with DMPC vesicles. Proteolytic LPL fragments with DMPC were reassembled and stabilized by cholate. Lipid-binding region of LPL was identified by a PTH-automated protein sequencer, as AQQHYPVSAGYTK. The analysis of the secondary structure of the lipid-binding peptides revealed a higher probability of $\alpha$-helix structure compared to the whole LPL protein. The prediction of hydrophobicity of lipid -binding region was highly hydrophobic (-1.1) compared to LPL polypetide(-0.4).

  • 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.

  • Since binge eating is known to be related to increased risk of body weight fluctuations, it may be associated with increased health risks. This study was conducted to investigate the risks of binge eating on the cardiovascular system of female university students in Korea. Sixty-five female university students who were interested in a weight control program were recruited from a university campus. After personal interviews were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire, 36 individuals were classified as binge eaters and 29 as non-binge eaters according to modified criteria of the proposed DSM-IV by the American Psychiatric Association(APA). All subjects participate in anthropometric and clinical measurements to evaluate the level of obesity and cardiovascular risks. Binge eating subjects showed no significant differences in obesity index compared to non-binge eating subjects. However, they had a higher level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and a higher atherogenic index. They also showed close correlations with general obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. Body mass index(BMI) was the main explanatory index related to cardiovascular risk factors according to the stepwise regression analysis. Furthermore, obese binge subjects had higher levels than non-obese binge subjects or non-binge subjects for total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, atherogenic index, and systolic blood pressure. The findings strongly suggest that obese young women having binge eating episodes might display a greater risk for cardiovascular disease tan that shown for obese non-binge eating women.

  • The processing of dietary lipids can be distinguished in several sequential steps, including their emulsification, hydrolysis and micellization, before they are absorbed by the enterocytes. Emulsification of lipids starts in the stomach and is mediated by physical forces and favoured by the partial lipolysis of the dietary lipids due to the activity of gastric lipase. The process of lipid digestion continues in the duodenum where pancreatic triacylglycerol lipase (PTL) releases 50 to 70% of dietary fatty acids. Bile salts at low concentrations stimulate PTL activity, but higher concentrations inhibit PTL activity. Pancreatic triacylglycerol lipase activity is regulated by colipase, that interacts with bile salts and PTL and can release bile salt mediated PTL inhibition. Without colipase, PTL is unable to hydrolyse fatty acids from dietary triacylglycerols, resulting in fat malabsorption with severe consequences on bioavailability of dietary lipids and fat-soluble vitamins. Furthermore, carboxyl ester lipase, a pancreatic enzyme that is bile salt-stimulated and displays wide substrate reactivities, is involved in lipid digestion. The products of lipolysis are removed from the water-oil interface by incorporation into mixed micelles that are formed spontaneously by the interaction of bile salts. Monoacylglycerols and phospholipids enhance the ability of bile salts to form mixed micelles. Formation of mixed micelles is necessary to move the non-polar lipids across the unstirred water layer adjacent to the mucosal cells, thereby facilitating absorption.

  • Lipid emulsions with saturated triacylglycerols (TAGs) with 4 to 10 carbons in each acyl chain were prepared to study how the oil component alters the stability of the lipid emul-sions when phosphatidylcholines were used as emulsifiers. The average droplet size of the emul-sions became smaller as the chain length of the TAG increased. For a given oil emulsion with smaller droplets was formed with an emulsifier having higher HLB value. The influence of HLB values on the droplet size was biggest for the tributyrin (C4) emulsion. For the tricaprylin(C8) emulsions, droplet size was identical at given emulsifier concentrations regardless of HLB values. The HLB value and the concentration of the emulsifiers also affect the droplet size of the emul-sions. The emulsions with smaller average droplet size were more stable than with bigger size for 20 days. The oil and water (o/w) interfacial tension in inversely proportional to the initial droplet size of the emulsion.
