Sprague-Dawley rats were given freely with 15% ethanol (control) and 15% ethanol containing (1) 0.1% ginseng saponin, (2) 0.02% ginsenoside $Rb_1$, and (3) $Rg_1$ (tests) instead of water for 7 days and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in different regions of brain were examined. In control group, total ALDH activity with indoleacetaldehyde and acetaldehyde as substrate in all different regions was lower than that of normal group except in the hippocampus. The inhibitory effect on the activity was prominent in the corpus striatum and was not in the hippocampus. However, low-$K_m$ ALDH activity in all different regions was much lower than that of normal group. A considerable decrease in mitochondria ALDH activity in cerebellum and striatum was also observed in control group. In test groups total, low-$K_m$, and mitochondria AkDH activities in all different regions were higher than those in control group. Although ALDH activity in the striatum of test group was higher than control group, it was relatively depressed as compared with normal. There was not found a remarkable difference in extent of stimulating effect on the AkDH activity according to the ginseng saponin components. When biogenic aldehydes were used as substrate, ALDH activity with 3,4-dihydroxy-phenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL) in all brain regions of control group was lower than that using 5-hydroxy-indoleacetaldehyde (HIAL) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde (NORAL) as substrate. In control group, ALDH activity with biogenic aldehydes above mentioned was markedly inhibited in the striatum contrary to other regions. The higher ALDH activity with biogenic aldehydes in test group than in control was found in the striatum, cerebrum, and cerebellum. MAO activity in the cerebellum was inhibited in control group and slightly increased in test group. The results of present study suggest that the corpus striatum is significantly affected by ethanol exposure while the hippocampus is not and that ginseng saponin fraction and ginsenosid es might have a preventive effect against depression of brain ALDH activity by chronic administration of ethanol.

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is flavin-containing enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of variety of amine-containing neurotransmitters such as catecholamines and serotonin to yield the corresponding aldehyde. Thus, MAO activity might play important roles in some pathological states of central nervous system diseases such as depression, alcoholism, and schizophrenia. (omitted)

Aspergillus oryzae로 발효시킨 청미래덩굴(Smilax china L) 잎열수추출물(FSCL)의 첨가가 토복령 열수추출물(SCLR)의 항산화능에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 각 2% 열수추출물을 0:100 (A), 20:80 (B), 40:60 (C), 60:40 (D), 80:20 (E), 100:0 (F) (v/v)의 조건으로 혼합하였을 때 total polypheno l(TP) 및 total flavonoid (TF) 함량, $OD_{475}$, 전자공여능(EDA), 철환원력(FRAP), xanthine oxidase (XO) 및 aldehyde oxidase (AO)에 대한 저해활성과 관능적 품질을 조사하였다. A와 F의 TP 함량은 각각 3.78 및 9.37 mg/100 mL, TF 함량은 각각 0.24 및 1.84 mg/100 mL로 FSCL이 SCLR에 비하여 TP는 2.48배, TF는 7.67배가 높았으며 FSCL의 첨가비율이 높아질수록 비례적으로 높았다($R^2=0.9887$, $R^2=0.9592$). $OD_{475}$는 FSCL의 첨가비율이 높아질수록 거의 비례적으로 높은 흡광도를 나타내었다($R^2=0.9850$). EDA (% at mL)는 A (25.75%)에 비하여 F (54.63%)에서 2.12배가 높았으며 FSCL의 첨가비율이 높을수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다($R^2=0.9668$). FRAP ($Fe^{2+}{\mu}mole/g$ of dry basis)의 경우도 EDA와 마찬가지로 A (1.18)에 비하여 F (4.92)에서 4.17배가 높았으며, FSCL의 첨가비율이 높아질수록 비례적으로 높았다($R^2$=0.9907). A의 XO에 대한 저해활성(mg/mL of $IC_{50}$)은 1.19로 F의 2.96에 비하여 59.80%가 높았으며, FSCL의 첨가비율이 높아질수록 비례적으로 감소하였다($R^2$=0.9490). 그러나 AO에 대한 저해활성(mg/mL of $IC_{50}$)은 XO의 경우와 반대로 A (3.37)에 비하여 F (1.41)에서 58.16%의 높은 저해활성을 나타내었으며, FSCL의 첨가비율이 높아질수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 향에 대한 기호도는 A와 F에서는 각각 2.77 및 2.72점으로 비슷한 값을 보였으며 발효청미래덩굴잎 열수추출물을 20-80 비율로 혼합하였을 때는 다소 향상되는 경향을 나타내었으나 상호간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 그러나 40% 혼합(C) 하였을 때는 무첨가 경우(A 또는 F)에 비하여 유의적으로 향상되었다. 맛에 대한 기호도는 F에 비하여 A에서 다소 높은 값을 나타내었으며 C에서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. 색상에 대한 기호도는 40-80% 첨가한 경우가 A, F 및 B보다 높았다. 입맛과 종합적인 품질에 대한 기호도는 C, D에서 가장 높았다. 이상의 결과 A. oryzae로 발효시킨 청미래덩굴잎의 열수추출물은 보이차 스타일의 적갈색을 나타내며, 토복령 열수추출물과 혼합함으로써 음료로서의 기호성이 높아짐과 동시에 EDA 및 FRAP와 같은 항산화활성이 높아지나, ROS 생성계 효소로 알려져 있는 XO와 AO의 활성 억제현상은 상반된 결과를 나타내고 있어 이와 관련된 기능성 식품 개발에 대한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다. 그러나 현재 실험의 결과만으로는 어떠한 성분이 이러한 항산화활성의 변화에 관여하는지는 확인할 수 없으며 추후 계속적인 연구 검토가 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 청미래덩굴(Smilax china L.) 잎을 이용한 기호성이 증진된 발효차 제조를 시도하였다. 균주로 Saccharomyces cerevisiae(S), 청국장으로부터 분리한 Bacillus속 혼합미생물(B), Bifidobacterium bifidus(L), Monascus pilosus(M) 및 Aspergilus oryzae(A)를 사용하여 발효차(S, B, L, M, A)를 제조하였으며, 발효시키지 않은 청미래덩굴잎(C)과의 품질특성과 항산화와 관련된 total polyphenol(TP) 및 total flavonoid(TF) 함량과 활성산소 소거계 활성으로 electron donating ability(EDA), ferric reducing antioxidant power(FRAP), ferrous iron chelating ability (FICA) 및 lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity(LPOIA)와 활성산소 생성계 효소인 xanthine oxidase의 inhibitory activity(XOIA) 및 aldehyde oxidase의 inhibitory activity(AOIA)의 변화를 조사하였다. 열수로 1% 농도로 우려낸 발효차의 색상은 A차는 적색을 띠었으나, 그 외의 모든 차는 황색을 띠었다. 차의 향, 맛, 밝기 및 종합적인 기호도는 A차 3.95점, M차 3.30점으로 평가되었으며, 그 외 S, B, L차는 2.55~2.28점으로 C차와 유사하였다. C차 열수 추출물의 TP 및 TF 함량은 각각 28.94 및 18.39 mg/g, 에탄올 추출물에서는 각각 34.97 및 34.44 mg/g 이었다. 발효차는 C차에 비하여 TP의 함량이 낮았으나, 에탄올 가용성 flavonoid 함량에는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 특히 A차는 수용성 TF 함량과 에탄올 가용성 TP의 함량이 낮았다. 청미래덩굴잎 및 그 발효차 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 EDA($1mg/m{\ell}$)는 19.25~22.48%이었으나, A차는 8.04~12.49%이었다. C차 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 FRAP($Fe^{2+}\;{\mu}mole/g$ dry basis)는 4.38~5.84이었으며, S, B, L, M 및 A차와 대등하였다. FICA는 발효차 중에서는 A차가 높았으며, 여타 차는 발효차와 비발효차 간의 유의차가 없었다. LPOIA는 $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$의 아주 낮은 농도에서 열수 추출물은 37.08~41.42%, 에탄올 추출물은 28.66~32.57%를 나타내었고, 열수 추출물보다 에탄올 추출물이 다소 높았으며, 차의 종류에 따른 유의차는 보이지 않았다. 열수 및 에탄올 추출물($1mg/m{\ell}$)의 XOIA 및 AOIA는 모두 에탄올 추출물에서 높은 경향을 보였다. 열수 추출물에서의 XOIA는 C, S, M 및 A차에서는 4.83~9.20%이었으나, B 및 L차에서는 나타나지 않았으며, 에탄올 추출물에서는 9.00~19.00%이었다. AOIA는 열수 추출물은 30.17~48.52%, 에탄올 추출물은 44.09~66.93으로 정도의 차이는 있으나, 발효차 에서도 비교적 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과, 청미래덩굴잎 발효차의 항산화 활성은 비발효차에 비하여 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내며, 에탄올 추출물이 열수 추출물에 비하여 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 특히, 발효에 의하여 TP와 TF의 감소율이 높으나, 관능적 품질이 비교적 양호한 것으로 나타난 A차 열수 추출물(0.1%)에서도 FRAP, FICA, LPOIA 및 AOIA와 같은 항산화 지표들의 활성이 나타나, 기능성 발효차로서의 이용가능성이 높은 것으로 평가되었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary zinc (Zn) and/or cadmium (Cd) on hepatic microsomal and cytosol enzyme activities. Male Spraque-Dawley rats (110$\pm$10g ) received zinc (0, 30 and 300 ppm/) and Cd-treated groups were administered oral intubation with Cd chloride (5.0mg/kg of body weight 0 at the same time once a week. The effect of Cd on the activity of hepatic cytochromep-450 , xanthine oxidase(X. O) and superoxide dismutase (SOd) was studied in rats. Cd oral intubation resulted in a decrease in cytochrome P-450 content and SOD activity whereas a significant increase in the X.O. activity was observed was observed . Intake of excessive Zn led to an increased activity of microsomal alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) , whereas Zn deficiency group led to a decreased group. The mechanism by which Zn induces the decreasing of Cd toxicity in rats, seems to rely on the protection of the enzyme systems P-450, ADH, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and X.O. in the liver, possibly by forming non-toxic Cd metallothionein. These results indicate that Zn and Cd regulation might occur via inhibitory protein component of the $H_2O$$_2$ -generator system.

In this study, we designed a method to manufacture elevated fermented green tea by using Monascus pilosus, which is known as a functional microbe, and observe its antioxidant abilities and quality characteristics. The water-soluble substance (WSS) content of the fermented tea by M. pilosus (FTM) was lower than that of the non-fermented tea (NFT), although the alcohol-insoluble substance (AIS) content of the FTM was higher than that of NTM. On the other hand, the fractionated distilled water-soluble polysaccharide (DWSP), CDTA-soluble polysaccharides (CDSP), sodium carbonate-soluble polysaccharide (SCSP) and KOH soluble hemicellulose (HC) obtained from the AIS of the FTM was markedly higher than that of NFT. In the antioxidant parameters, the electron donating ability of all fractions, except HC, extracted from FTM was higher than that of NFT, and iron chelating ability of all fractions, except CDSP, extracted from FTM was higher than that of NFT. Whereas the DWSP and SCSP obtained from the FTM were higher than that of NFT, the activity of the HC fraction from both NFT and the FTM could not be detected. In addition, the xanthin oxidase (XO) inhibitory activities of the DWSP, CDSP and the SCSP obtained from the NFT were significantly higher than that of FTM, the aldehyde oxidase (AO) inhibitory activities of the DWSP and SCSP extracted from the FTM were markedly higher than that of the NFT. Meanwhile, the acceptance of NFT and FTM had no significant difference, while the quality of aroma, taste and mouthfeel of the FTM was higher than that of NFT. These results suggest that the post-fermented tea by Monascus microorganisms may be responsible for functional components as well as contribute to the improvement of the tea quality.

This study was performed to investigate the antioxidant mechanism of tomato wine with varying lycopene content in rats fed a high fat diet (HFD). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=10 per group) and fed an HFD (35% of total energy from fat) plus ethanol (7.2% of total energy from alcohol), tomato wine with varying lycopene content (0.425 mg%, 1.140 mg% or 2.045 mg% lycopene) or an isocaloric control diet for 6 weeks. Mice fed HFD plus ethanol significantly increased erythrocyte hydrogen peroxide and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels with increases in activities of erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione reductase (GR) compared to pair-fed rats. Supplementation of tomato wine with varying lycopene content decreased ethanol-mediated increases of erythrocyte lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities in HFD-fed rats, and tomato wine with higher lycopene appeared to be more effective. Tomato wine also dose-dependently lowered TBARS levels with decreased pro-oxidant enzyme, xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity in plasma of HFD-fed rats. In contrast to erythrocytes, the inhibitory effects of tomato wine on hepatic lipid peroxidation were linked to increased hepatic antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) and alcohol metabolizing enzyme (alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase) activities. There were no significant differences in hepatic XOD and cytochrome P450-2E1 activities among the groups. Together, our data suggest that tomato wine fortified with lycopene has the potential to protect against ethanol-induced oxidative stress via regulation of antioxidant or pro-oxidant enzymes and alcohol metabolizing enzyme activities in plasma, erythrocyte and liver.
