Objective: In this study, the anti-stress effects of extract of Hydrangeae Dulcis Folium (EHDF) or ethalonic extract of Opuntiaficus-indica (EOF) of natural extracts from Jeju Island were investigated. Methods: We performed measurement of whole-body cortisol level and behavioral experiments including the novel tank test (NTT) or the open field test (OFT) to assess stress responses in zebrafish. To induce physical stress, we used the net handling stress (NHS). Fish were treated with EOF or EHDF for 6 min before they were exposed to stress. And then, we sacrificed fish for collecting body fluid from whole-body or conducted behavioural tests, including novel tank test and open field test, were evaluated to observe anxiety-like behaviours and locomotion. We used the cortisol enzyme-linked immunoassay kit to measure the amount of cortisol in each zebrafish sample. Results: The results indicate that increased anxiety-like behaviours in novel tank test and open field test under stress were prevented by treatment with both EOF and EHDF (P < 0.05). Moreover, compared with the unstressed group, which was not treated with NHS, the whole-body cortisol level was significantly increased by treatment with NHS. Compared with the NHS-treated stressed control group, pre-treatment with each EHDF and EOF for 6 min significantly prevented the NHS-increased whole-body cortisol level (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion these results suggest that both EOF and EHDF pretreatment may prevent stress responses and that its mechanism of action may be related to its positive effects on cortisol release.

본 연구의 목표는 CuCl₂가 지브라피시에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것이다. CuCl₂에 대한 지브라피시의 반수치사농도를 조사하기 위하여 각기 다른 시간에 따른 농도를 설정하여 노출시켰다. 본 연구에서는 스트레스 반응의 증가를 보기 위하여 whole-body cortisol level 측정과 행동약리학적 변화를 측정하기 위해서 open field test와 novel tank test를 실시하였다. Whole-body cortisol의 sample을 수집하거나 행동실험을 실시하기 전에 CuCl₂ 또는 vehicle을 1시간 동안 처리하였다. CuCl₂의 반수치사농도는 24시간, 48시간, 96시간에서 각각 30.3, 25.3, 14.8 ㎍/l으로 측정되었다. CuCl₂에 노출된 지브라피시의 novel tank test의 결과는 총 이동거리, 움직이는 시간 그리고 속도는 유의성이 있게 감소한 반면, turn angle은 최고농도에서 유의성이 있게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 다른 행동실험인 open field test의 결과에서도 총 이동거리, 움직이는 시간 속도가 CuCl₂의 노출에 의해서 감소하였으며, turn angle과 meandering이 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). CuCl₂에 노출된 지브라피시의 whole-body cortisol은 1.5 or 15 ㎍/l의 농도에서는 유의하게 증가하였으나, 150 ㎍/l의 농도에서는 유의성 있는 변화를 발견하지 못하였다(p<0.05). 본 연구의 결과는 CuCl₂의 노출이 지브라피시에서 치사율 증가, 행동 및 내분비의 변화 등을 포함하는 독성 반응을 야기하는 것을 나타낸다.

Objectives : In this study, the anti-stress effects of ethanolic extract of Opuntiaficus-indica (OF70E) were investigated. Methods : To determine the effects of OF70E on physical stress, changes in whole-body cortisol level or behavior were monitored in zebrafish. After treatment with 0.9% saline or OF70E for 6 min, all fish underwent net handling stress (NHS), which induced physical stress. And then, we conducted open field test (OFT) or sacrificed fish for collecting body fluid from whole-body. We used the cortisol enzyme-linked immunoassay kit to measure the amount of cortisol in each zebrafish sample. Results : In result, compared with normal group which were not treated by NHS, whole-body cortisol levels were significantly increased in stressed-control group. Compared with control group, pretreatment with OF70E at concentrations of 25, 50 and 100 mg/L for 6min significantly inhibited the increase of whole-body cortisol levels induced by NHS(p<0.05). To anti-stress effects of OF70E on behavior, we conducted OFT after the induction of NHS following pretreatment of OF70E. As results of OFT, compared with unstressed-normal group, distance moved was significantly decreased by induction of NHS in stressed-control group (p<0.05). OF70E-pretreatment blocked decreases of distance moved increased by NHS (p<0.05). And meandering movement, immobility and turn angle were significantly increased by NHS in stressed-control group compared with unstressed-normal group (p<0.05). OF70E-pretreatment prevented the increases of meandering movement immobility and turn angle by NHS (p<0.05). Conclusions : In conclusion these results suggest that OF70E-pretreatment may prevent stress responses.

Zebrafish는 약리학 연구에 널리 사용되는 실험 동물 중 하나이다. Oxytetracycline은 넓은 항균 범위를 가지는 항생제로써 단백질 합성을 억제하여 정균 작용을 가진 항생제이다. 본 연구의 목적은 OTC에 노출이 되었을 때 zebrafish에게서 나타나는 행동변화와 내분비계의 변화를 관찰하였다. OTC (50, 100 or 200 mg/l)에 노출된 zebrafish의 행동변화를 확인하기 위해 novel tank test와 open field test를 진행하였다. 또한 내분비계의 변화를 확인하기 위하여 whole-body cortisol의 수치를 cortisol kit를 이용하여 측정하였다. Novel tank test 결과 상층부에서 머문 시간과 부동 시간에서 OTC를 약욕하였을 때 통계적으로 유의성이 있는 증가현상이 확인되었다. 반면에, 총 이동거리, 과행동 시간, 유영 속도 그리고 상하 변위에서 OTC를 약욕하였을 때 통계적으로 유의성 있는 감소 현상이 확인되었다. Open field test 결과 부동시간에서 OTC를 약욕 하였을 때 통계적으로 유의성 있는 증가 현상이 확인 되었다. 그러나 OTC를 약욕 하였을 때 총 이동거리, 움직인 시간, 유영 속도에서 통계적으로 유의성이 있는 감소 현상이 확인 되었다. Whole-body cortisol에서는 zebrafish에게 약욕을 하였을 때 증가하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 OTC가 zebrafish에게 화학적 스트레스로 작용한 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 발아전처리 제초제인 Dithiopyr (DTP)를 시험물질로 사용하여 급성 독성시험을 평가하고, zebrafish의 행동에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 급성 독성시험 결과 zebrafish에서의 DTP의 LC₅₀값은 14.49 μM이었다. 또한 DTP 노출이 유영 패턴에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 아치사농도(2.5-20 μM)에서 novel tank test (NTT)와 open field test (OFT)의 두 가지 행동실험을 실시하였다. NTT를 실시한 결과, 하층부의 머무는 시간 및 최초로 상층부에 들어간 시간, 회전각, 부동 시간의 경우 control 그룹과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의성 있게 농도 의존적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 또한 상층부에 진입한 횟수 및 평균 유영속도에서 통계적인 유의성 있는 감소현상이 확인되었다(p<0.05). OFT를 실시한 결과, 총 이동 거리 및 평균 유영속도에서 유의성이 있는 감소현상이 확인되었다(p<0.05). 부동 시간 및 회전각, 굴곡유영에서는 유의성 있는 증가 현상이 확인되었다(p<0.05). 또한 Whole-body cortisol level 측정 결과, 저농도 노출 그룹에서만 유의성 있는 증가가 관찰되었으나(p<0.05), 5와 10 μM에서는 유의성 있는 차이가 관찰되지 않아 농도의존적으로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

Four feeding trials with 260 pigs were conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementing the diet with different amino acids on growth performance and blood metabolites for weanling, growing and finishing pigs. One hundred twenty weanling pigs (Exp. 1, BW 8 kg), eighty growing pigs (Exp. 2. BW 20 kg), thirty growing pigs (Exp. 3, BW 29 kg) and thirty finishing pigs (Exp. 4, BW 50 kg) were randomly allotted to different dietary treatments according to sex and body weight. Pigs weight and feed consumption were measured at initiation and termination of each trial with 4 weeks. At the end of trial, blood samples from three pigs selected in each pen (Exp. 1) and each pig (Exp. 2) were obtained to determine the level of blood urea nitrogen, glucose, insulin and cortisol in the serum. In Exp. 1, pigs fed diet supplemented both with lysine and methionine had the best feed conversion ratio (p < 0.05), but no significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed in ADG and ADFI. Pigs receiving control diet obtained the obtained the optimal ADG (p < 0.05), ADFI (p < 0.05) and F/G for the whole period. No differences were detected in serum glucose, insulin and cortisol concentrations. In Exp. 2, pigs receiving the control diet exhibited the lowest serum urea nitrogen (p < 0.05), ADG, F/G and serum insulin concentration increased linearly (p < 0.05) with the inclusion of lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan in diets. No significant differences (p > 0.05) were detected for glucose and cortisol content in pigs serum among dietary treatments. In Exp. 3 and 4, pigs growth rate increased linearly (p < 0.01), and feed conversion efficiency was also improves by addition of lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan. In conclusion, pigs fed diets supplemented with lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan together obtained optimal growth performance in growing and finishing periods.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of licorice supplementation on muscle injury, plasma cortisol, testosterone and insulin sensitivity after high intensity resistance exercise. Methods : The fourteen health college male students were voluntarily participated in this study and were randomly divided into 2 groups: Control group (CON, n=7), Licorice group (LR, n=7). LR group ingested 2 g/time of licorice extract (mixed with 100 ml of water) two times/day for 10 days while the CON group ingested 100 ml of water. All subjects performed a high intensity resistance exercise (half-squat, 8 RM at 80% one-repetition maximum, 5 sets, 1min rest). Blood samples were collect before (-7) and after (0) licorice supplementation, and then 1 day, 2 day and 3 day post exercise. After 10 day treatment, plasma creatine kinase, cortisol, testosterone, glucose, insulin were measured. To determine the insulin sensitivity, HOMA-IR was calculated. Results : Plasma creatine kinase activities were significantly elevated after exercise, but there was not different between two groups. The plasma cortisol and testosterone levels were not significantly different between two groups. Plasma glucose levels were increased at 1 day and 2 day after exercise in the LR comparing with CON group (P<0.05) but plasma insulin levels were significantly lower in comparison with CON. HOMA-IR were significantly lower in the LR than CON group at 0 day to 3 day (P<0.05). Conclusions : The results of the current study suggest that licorice supplementation for 10 days might not attenuate the high-intensity exercise-induce muscle injury but may enhance the whole-body insulin sensitivity.

Mozart's music has been suggested to affect spatio-temporal reasoning of listeners, which has been called "Mozart effect". However, the effects of Mazart's music on human metabolism have not been known. We dissected Mozart's music into its compositional elements and studied their effects on metabolism of experimental animals. Mozart music significantly reduced cortisol level induced by stress. NMR metabolomic study revealed different urine metabolic profile according to the listening to Mozart's music. In addition, each element of music exhibited different metabolic profile. Functional MRI study also showed enhanced brain activity upon listening to Mozart's music. Taken together, Mozart's music seems to be related with brain activity, stress hormone and whole body metabolism.

A 12-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of different stocking densities on the growth, body composition, stress, antioxidant status, and immune responses of juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Juvenile rainbow trout (32.2±0.5 g) were randomly placed in eight experimental tanks, each containing 2,000 L of water, at stocking densities of 150, 300, 600, and 1,200 individual/m³. The trout were assigned to four treatments (2.4, 4.8, 9.7, and 19.4 kg/m³) in duplicates. Following after the feeding trial, the fish cultured in the less dense group showed significantly higher growth and survival (P<0.05). In terms of proximate composition, the whole body crude protein and lipid contents were lower in the denser group (19.4 kg/m³). Regarding the antioxidant and immune responses, the fish reared in the relatively denser group exhibited lower lysozyme, immunoglobulin M, and superoxide dismutase levels. The stress indicators, glucose and cortisol, were significantly lower in the less dense group (2.4 kg/m³), while the denser group (19.4 km/m³) exhibited higher AST and ALP levels(P<0.05). The results showed that denser stocking has a crowding stress effect and negatively impacts growth and immune responses.

The effect of bio-logger tagging location on blood characteristics and bio-logger attachment efficiency in spotted sea bass (mean body weight 2356.7 g) was investigated. The fish were tagged at four different tagging locations: no-tag (control), operculum attachment (OA), dorsal muscle attachment (DA), and cauda peduncle muscle attachment (CA). The blood properties and bio-logger attachment efficiencies were examined on days 1, 7, 14, and 35 after tagging the bio-logger at each tagging location. During the experimental periods, the concentrations of hematocrit and hemoglobin in whole blood, and GOT (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase), GPT (glutamic pyruvic transaminase), total protein (TP), glucose, total cholesterol, cortisol, and superoxide dismutase in plasma were not affected by the attachment location of the bio-logger, however, the TP concentration was significantly lower in OA than in the control group on day 7. After tagging for 35 days, the efficiencies of bio-logger attachment in the OA, DA, and CA after tagging for 35 days were 33.3%, 100.0%, and 33.3%, respectively. These results indicate that, in our experimental condition, the most appropriate bio-logger attachment location is DA, providing basic information on bio-logger utilization methods for ecological and biological biotelemetry surveys of the spotted sea bass.
