Anti-obesity effect of biocellulose and diet formulation containing it was evaluated using obese rats. Thirty male Sprague-Dawlely (SD) rats were randomly assigned to high-fat diet group (CON), high-fat diet group containing 5% biocellulose (BIO), and high-fat diet group containing 5% dietary formulation (DF). After 10 weeks, body weight gains of BIO and DF groups were reduced by 15.1 and 6%, respectively, as compared with CON group. Epididymus, parirenal, and visceral fat pads of BIO and DF groups were lower than those of CON group. Weight of interscapular brown adipose tissues increased slightly in BIO group and significantly in DF group. Size of adipocyte in rats decreased in BIO and DF groups. Results indicate biocellulose-containing diet has anti-obesity effect by reducing body weight gain and white adipocytes depots in rats fed high-fat diet.

This thesis estimates relationships between area and volume of visceral adipose tissue about health risk. Visceral adipose tissue quantity showed the quantitative relationship, where degree of area was similar to the volume.Threrfore, it is more useful to use the area which is simpler,than the volume when using visceral adipose tissue quantity for estimating the degree of danger factors related with fatness.

The study was carried out to examine the anti-obesity effects of 40% ethanol extract from green tea seed (GS) and quantitative determination of caffeine as its major compound. The specificity was satisfied with retention time and UV spectrum by analysis of caffeine using HPLC and comparison with standard compound. It showed a high linearity in the calibration curve with a coefficient of correlation (R²) of 0.9974. The amount of caffeine in GS was about 4.649 mg/g (0.465%) in the three times analysis, and relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 0.452% by the validated method. The anti-obesity effects of GS were evaluated by using Oil Red O staining in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and body weight, visceral fat and lipid profiles in high fat diet (HFD)-induced C57BL/6 obese mice. Our results indicated that treatment with GS dose-dependently decreased lipid accumulation contents (p<0.001). Moreover, after oral administration for 30 days feeding with HFD-induced obses mice, GS (100 and 300 mg/kg/day) produced a significant decrease in serum total cholesterol (TC), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and visceral fat. Thus, the result of this study indicate that the GS may be a useful resource for the management of obesity.

산란노계에서 강제환우가 체중, 복강지방, 장기, 근육조직의 변화에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 77주령 산란계 360수를 7주간 강제환우를 시행하였다. 강제환우전, 산란율 5%, 산란피크, 실험종료 시기인 126주령에 단계별로 각각 36수씩 희생시킨 후에 체중, 복강지방, 장기 및 번식기관의 길이와 무게를 조사하였으며, 가슴과 다리근육에서 지방함량을 분석하였다. 체중은 산란 5% 시기에 제일 낮았으며 산란율이 증가하면서 실험 종료시기에 극대화되었다. 복강지방도 체중의 변화와 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 간의 체중에 대한 비율도 강제환우 후에 제일 낮았지만 실험 종료시에 현저하게 높았다(P<0.05). 심장과 근위의 무게는 산란율이 5%에 도달하였을 때 제일 높았지만, 그 후에는 강제환우 이전과 동일한 경향을 보였다. 산란율이 5%에 도달한 시점에서 장기와 번식기관의 무게는 다른 시기에 비하여 현저하게 낮았지만 산란율이 높아지면서 그 무게가 증대되었으며 실험 종료시에 제일 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 가슴과 다리근육의 지방함량도 산란율이 5% 도달시에 제일 낮게 나타났으며, 실험 종료시에 현저하게 높았다(P<0.05). 본 실험의 결과 산란노계에서 강제환우 전후시기에 체중, 장기, 근육의 변화의 주요 원인은 주로 복강지방과 다른 장기 및 근육에서 지방의 함량감소에 기인하였음을 확인하였다.

Eotaxin is an important inflammatory chemokine in eosinophil chemotaxis and activation and, thus, is implicated in asthma. Recently, obesity was associated with an increased prevalence of asthma, but the relationship between obesity and eotaxin expression has only been partially understood in obese mice and human studies. Therefore, we studied the expression patterns of eotaxin in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes/adipocytes to determine whether eotaxin levels are influenced by body weight gain and/or reduction in diet-induced obese mice. First, we investigated eotaxin expression during differentiation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Then, we treated 3T3-L1 preadipoeytes/adipoeytes with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$), eotaxin, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, or leptin. To examine the effects of weight loss in high-fat diet induced obese mice, we fed C57BL/6 mice a high-fat diet or a normal diet for 26 weeks. Then, half of the high-fat diet group were fed a normal diet until 30 weeks to reduce weight. Epididymal adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue, serum, and bronchoalveolar fluid of mice were examined for eotaxin expression. The results showed that eotaxin expression levels increased with adipocyte differentiation and that more eotaxin was expressed when the cells were stimulated with TNF-${\alpha}$, eotaxin, IL-4, IL-5, or leptin. An in vivo study showed that eotaxin levels were reduced in visceral adipose tissues when high-fat diet fed mice underwent weight loss. Taken together, these results indicate a close relationship between eotaxin expression and obesity as well as weight loss, thus, they indirectly show a relation to asthma.

Objectives: The effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}2\;(PPAR{\gamma}2)$ Pro12Ala (P12A) polymorphism on body mass index (BMI) and type 2 diabetes are well documented; however, until now, only a few studies have evaluated the effects of this polymorphism on body fat distribution. This study was conducted to elucidate the effects of this polymorphism on computed tomography (CT)-measured body fat distribution and other obesity-related parameters in Korean female subjects. Methods & Results: The frequencies of $PPAR{\gamma}2$ genotypes were: PP type, 93.0%; PA type, 6.8%; and AA type, 0.2%. The frequency of the A allele was 0.035. Body weight (P .012), BMI (P .012), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (P .001) were significantly higher in subjects with PA/AA compared with subjects with PP. When body composition was analyzed by bioimpedance analysis, lean body mass and body water content were similar between the 2 groups. However, body fat mass (P .003) and body fat percent (P .025) were significantly higher in subjects with PA/AA compared with subjects with PP. Among overweight subjects with BMI of greater than 25, PA/AA was associated with significantly higher abdominal subcutaneous fat (P .000), abdominal visceral fat (P .031), and subcutaneous upper and lower thigh adipose tissue (P .010 and .013). However, among lean subjects with BMI of less than 25, no significant differences associated with $PPAR{\gamma}2$ genotype were found, suggesting that the fat-accumulating effects of the PA/AA genotype were evident only among overweight subjects, but not among lean subjects. When serum lipid profiles, glucose, and liver function indicators were compared among overweight subjects, no significant difference associated with $PPAR{\gamma}2$ genotype was found. Changes in body weight, BMI, WHR, and body fat mass were measured among overweight subjects who finished a 1-month weight lose program of a hypocaloric diet and exercise; no significant differences associated with $PPAR{\gamma}2$ genotype were found. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the $PPAR{\gamma}2$ PA/AA genotype is associated with increased subcutaneous and visceral fat areas in overweight Korean female subjects, but does not significantly affect serum biochemical parameters and outcomes of weight loss programs.

The proximate composition of viscera of six fish species viz., Catla catla, Labeo, rohita Cirrhina mrigala, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Cyprinus carpio under the influence of artificial feed $(T_1)$, broiler manure $(T_2)$, buffalo manure $(T_3)$, N:P:K (25:25:0 $T_4$) and control pond $(T_5)$ has been studied on final harvest after the end of experimental period of one year. The overall comparison of six fish species under five different treatments showed that Cyprinus carpio remained the best for visceral total protein contents. The maximum visceral protein content was recorded in fishes under $T_2$ except Cirrhina mrigala, while the minimum under $T_5$. The comparison of five treatments showed that maximum (6.69) percentage of fat in viscera of fish was recorded under $T_2$, closely followed by $T_4$ while minimum (4.89) under the effect of $T_5$. Among the six fish species under five treatments Cyprinus carpio showed maximum accumulation/deposition of total fats in viscera.
