  • Acetic acid is indirectly involved in cell center metabolism, and acetic acid metabolism is the core of central metabolism, affecting and regulating the production of bacteriocin. Bacteriocin is a natural food preservative that has been used in the meat and dairy industries and winemaking. In this paper, the effects of acetic acid on bacteriocin produced by Gram-positive bacteria were reviewed. It was found that acetic acid in the undissociated state can diffuse freely through the hydrophobic layer of the membrane and dissociate, affecting the production, yield, and activity of bacteriocin. In particular, the effect of acetic acid on cell membranes is summarized. The link between acetic acid metabolism, quorum sensing, and bacteriocin production mechanisms is also highlighted.

  • Modulation of the catabolic PEP-pathway of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens was tried using some enzymatic inhibitors such as gases and chemicals in order to enhance succinic acid production. 10$\%$ CO increased the succinic acid/acetic acid (S/A) ratio but inhibited growth as well as production of succinic and acetic acid. Hydrogen gas also increased the S/A ratio and inhibited the synthesis of pyruvate: ferredoxin oxidoreductase when used in mixture with $CO_2$, Catabolic repression by acetic, lactic and formic acid was not recognized and other modulators such as glyoxylate, pyruvate derivatives, arsenic salt, phosphate and sulfate were shown not to be effective. Magesium carbonate was shown effective for repressing acetate production. Palmitic acid, myristic acid and phenylalanine did not affect acetate production but carprylic acid completely inhibited growth.

  • The relationship between pain stimulation and the blood glucose level was studied in ICR mice. We examined the possible change of the blood glucose level after the pain stimulation induced by acetic acid injected intraperitoneally (i.p.),, formalin injected subcutaneously (s.c.) into the hind paw, or substance P (SP), glutamate, and proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-${\alpha}$ and IFN-${\gamma}$) injected intrathecally (i.t.). We found in the present study that acetic acid, formalin, SP, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IFN-${\gamma}$ increased the blood glucose level. The blood glucose level reached at maximal state 30 min and returned to normal level 2 h after the pain stimulation in a fasting group. Furthermore, acetic acid, formalin, SP, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IFN-${\gamma}$ caused the elevation of the blood glucose level in D-glucose-fed group only in an additive manner. However, i.t. injection of glutamate did not alter the blood glucose level in a fasting group. In contrast, i.t. injection of glutamate enhanced the blood glucose level in the D-glucose-fed group. Our results suggest that the blood glucose level appears to be differentially regulated by various pain stimulation induced by acetic acid, formalin, SP, glutamate, and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

  • Rats were fed for an 8-week period a low riboflavin diet(5ug riboflavin/day) or a control diet(30ug/day) supplied either ad libitum or by pair feeding in order to study the effect of riboflavin on the metabolism of lipids and neurotransmitters. Erythrocyte glutathione reductase (EGR) and monomine oxidase(MAO) activity in the liver and brain were assayed. EGR activity coefficient in riboflavin deficient rats was significantly higher than in ad libitum controls whereas MAO activity was decreased in the deficient rats. Fatty acid composition showed a different trend in the serum, liver and brain. In the serum, the concentrations of essential fatty acids and $\omega$-3 fatty acids(eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid)were decreased about 20-40% in the deficient and pair-fed than in the ad libitum controls. Brain serotonin and 5-HIAA(5-hydroxyindole acetic acid) concentrations were decreased in the riboflavin deficient rats. Learning ability measured by a water maze and exploratory activity using the open field test were not impaired in the deficient rats. These results indicate that brain lipid metabolism was protected in subclinical riboflavin deficiency, however, riboflavin deficiency affected brain serotonin content.

  • 사망사건 중 부패된 생체시료(혈액, 뇨 등)에서 음주여부를 판단하고자 할 때 부패된 사체의 경우 glucose를 비롯한 생체물질들이 미생물에 의하여 alcohol로 대사전환 될 수 있으므로 검출되는 ethanol의 전체 농도를 사망 전의 음주량으로 판단할 수 없다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 감정 의뢰된 사체의 혈액과 뇨를 임의로 선택하여 ethanol의 농도 및 n-propanol의 농도를 측정하여 상대적인 생성 비를 비교하여 보았으며, 5-hydroxytryptophol(5-HTOL)/5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid(5-HIAA)의 비를 이용한 음주여부의 판별법을 확립하기 위해서 5-HIAA 및 5-HTOL의 농도 측정법을 확립하였다. 혈액에서 검출되는 ethanol과 n-propanol의 상대적 농도비는 뇨에서 ethanol이 검출되지 않은 시료를 기준으로 할 경우, 약 11~20:1의 농도비를 나타난다. 음주를 한 것으로 판단되는 뇨의 경우 5-HTOL/5-HIAA의 비율은 1 이상으로 나타났고, 음주를 하지 않은 것으로 판단되는 뇨의 경우 5-HTOL/5-HIAA의 비율이 1 미만으로 측정되어, 혈액검사와는 달리 5-HTOL/5-HIAA의 비율이 1 이상인 경우 음주를 한 것으로 간주할 수 있었다.

  • Using barley seeds (Hordeum sativum Jess, var.), the influences of gibberellic acid (GA) and indole-3-acetic acid(IAA) on the amylase synthesis and that of the nucleic acid metabolism were investigated. 1. With the deembrynized barley seeds, the increase of amylase treated with a $10^{-5}M$ of GA and the decrease of amylase treated with $10^{-5}M$IAA were matched by a proportionate increase and decrease in the amount of RNA. The influence of the hormones on the RNA synthesis has appeared immediately after the treatment but on the amylase synthesis it has appeared 8 hours later. But no influence on the DNA synthesis was observed on both hormones. 2. The amylase from deembryonized barley seeds treated with GA and IAA have been fractionated by gel filteration on Sephadex G-100. The amylase components showed four fractions on both enzymes treated with GA and IAA. Fraction I(FI) was differed from fraction Ⅵ(FIV) in Km value and the effects of temperature, pH and metal ions. On the basis of their emzymatic properties, it was considered that the FI was $\beta$-amylase and FIV was $\alpha$-amylase. The influences of GA and IAA on each fractions appeared to be similar but on the amylase units per souble protein, IAA inhibited the production of amylase FIV while it promoted that of amylase FI. 3. An experiment was conducted to determine whether IAA inhibits GA-promoted amylase synthesis competitively or non-competitively. Using a Lineweaver-Burk plot, it was clear that IAA was acting in a non-competitive fashion. From this, IAA was probably not competing with GA at the same site, but it was acting at some other site which resutled in partial blocking of the action of GA on the amylase synthesis.

  • The end products of the metabolism of the oral microorganism, organic acids, are an element that produces dental caries. Four organic acids in plaque fluid, lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, propionic acid which take the important role in producing dental caries, were chosen to evaluate the effect of acid type and concentration. The subject, $100{\mu}m$ in thickness, were immersed in acid-buffer solution which has the different acid concentration of 10mM, 25mM, 50mM, 100mM and pH 4.3 and degree of saturation was $0.153{\pm}0.003$ kept in constant and were operated to produce artificial caries under different demineralization time (1, 2, 3 day) at x25. The results were obtained by observing under polarizing microscope at x25. 1. The subsurface lesion, specific finding of incipient enamel caries, showed positive birefringence. but surface zone and sound enamel showed negative birefringence. 2. The demineralization rate of enamel was increased as the acid concentration increased. 3. The subsurface lesion showed increasing depth in the order of lactic, acetic, propionic acid, succinic acid. 4. The concentration of organic acid in artificial caries system had an independent effect on demineralization rate in enamel under the constant pH and degree of saturation. The result of this study showed that not only pH and the acid strength but the concentration of organic acid had an independent effect on demineralization rate in early enamel caries. And through the further research on the factors influencing enamel demineralization, it will be necessary to develop an effective caries preventive therapy.
