Selenium (Se) is an essential trace mineral that plays an important role in physiological processes by regulating the antioxidant defense system and enhancing immunity. Chromium is an essential mineral involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and also plays a role in maintaining normal insulin function. Based on these advantages, we hypothesized that the addition of selenomethionine (SeMet) and organic chromium (OC) to broiler diets would increase Se deposition, antioxidant capacity and immune response in meat. Therefore, this study analyzed the effects of OC and SeMet on growh performance, nutrients digestibility, blood profiles, intestinal morphology, meat quality characteristics, and taxonomic analysis of broilers. A total of 168 one-day-old broiler chicken (Arbor Acres) were randomly allotted to 3 groups based on the initial body weight of 37.33 ± 0.24 g with 7 replicate per 8 birds (mixed sex). The experiments period was 28 days. Dietary treatments were folloewd: Basal diets based on corn-soybean meal (CON), basal diet supplemented with 0.2 ppm OC and 0.2 ppm SeMet (CS4), and basal diet supplemented with 0.4 ppm OC and 0.4 ppm SeMet (CS8). Supplementation of OC and SeMet did not affect on growth performance, nutrient digestibility. However, CS8 supplementation increased in duodenum villus height and villus height : crypt depth, and increased in breast meat Se deposition. In addition, CS8 group showed higher uric acid and total antioxidant status than CON group. Taxonomic analysis at phylum level revealed that Proteobacteria and Firmicutes of CS4 and CS8 were lower than CON group. In genus level, the relative abundance of fecal Lactobacillus and Enterococcus of CS4 and CS8 groups were higher than CON group. In short, 0.4 ppm OC and 0.4 ppm SeMet supplementation to broiler diet supporitng positive gut microbiome change, also enhancing antioxidant capacity, and Se deposition in breast meat.

Coenzyme Q10(CQ10)은 세포의 미토콘드리아 전자전달계의 산화적 인산화 작용에 중요한 역할을 하는 물질로서 최근 항산화제로서 가능성이 주목을 받고 있다. 따라서 본 시험은 산란 스트레스로서 지방간 현상이 다발하는 산란계(40주령)를 이용하여 대조군(CON), 분말 CoQ10 급여군(PCoQ, 100 mg/kg 사료) 및 유화 CoQ10 급여군(ECoQ, 100 mg/kg 사료) 등 3 처리군으로 설정하고 항산화 관련 지표를 조사하였다. 5주간의 시험 결과 분말 및 유화 CoQ10 급여는 산란계의 체중, 증체, 간 및 비장의 무게에는 영향은 미치지 않았다. CoQ10 급여 후 혈액의 전체 항산화력(total antioxidant power)을 조사한 결과 대조군과 비교 시 ECoQ 군에서 약 2배 정도 유의적으로(P<0.05) 증가하였다. PCoQ 군에서 수치상 약 1.5배의 TAP가 증가하였으나 대조군과 비교 시 유의적 차이는 없었다. 산란계의 간 조직에서 SOD, GPX 및 CAT 등 항산화 효소의 mRNA 발현은 분말 또는 유화 CoQ10 급여에 따른 유의적 효과가 없었다. 이들 항산화 효소들의 특이적 활성도를 조사한 결과 역시 분말 또는 유화 CoQ10 급여에 따른 유의적 차이가 없었다. 그러나 간 조직의 지질과산화(lipid peroxidation) 지표는 대조군과 비교 시 ECoQ에서 유의하게(P<0.05) 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과 유화형 COQ10 급여는 산란계에서 혈액의 전체 항산화력(TAP)을 증가시키고 간 조직에서 발생하는 활성산소를 효율적으로 제거하여 지질과산화도를 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 COQ10 급여는 과도한 산란 스트레스로부터 건강한 산란계를 사육할 수 있는 항산화 사료첨가제로써 이용 가능성이 높은 것으로생각된다.

열대아시아 원산의 다년생 초본 생강의 주성분인 [6]-gingerol은 항산화 및 항염증 등의 특성이 잘 알려져 있지만 cerulein 유도 급성췌장염에서의 자가분해 관련 유전자 발현 조절과 항산화 효소 활성에 대한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구에서는 cerulein 유도 급성췌장염 동물모델에서 [6]-gingerold의 자가분해 조절과 항산화 작용을 조사하였다. 급성췌장염 유발 전 4일 동안 [6]-gingerol (0.1 mg/20 g mouse/day)을 경구투여 한 후 $50{\mu}g/kg$ cerulein을 복강주사로 급성 췌장염을 유도하였다. 그 결과 혈중 ${\alpha}$-amyase 활성, 자가분해 표적 유전자(Beclin-1 및 cleaved LC3-II)의 발현, 지질과산화는 [6]-gingerol 투여군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 항산화지표 효소인 SOD와 GSH-Px 활성은 [6]-gingerol 투여군에서 유의적으로 증가하였다. 이상의 결과들은 천연식물소재 생강의 유효성분 중 하나인 [6]-gingerol이 cerulein 유도 급성 췌장염에서 자가분해 조절과 감소된 항산화효소 활성을 강화하는 효과를 나타내므로 생강이 급성췌장염의 예방과 치료에 대한 기능성 식품소재로 그 활용이 매우 높을 것으로 사료된다.

In the current study, we explored the effect of LDR on the activation of Nrfs transcription factor involved in cellular redox events. Experiments were carried out utilizing 0.05 and 0.5 Gy X-ray irradiated normal human skin fibroblast HS27 cells. The results showed LDR induced Nrf1 and Nrf2 activation and expression of antioxidant genes HO-1, Mn-SOD, and NQO1. In particular, 0.05 Gy-irradiation increased only Nrf1 activation, but 0.5 Gy induced both Nrf1 and Nrf2 activation. LDR-mediated Nrf1/2 activation was accompanied by reactive species (RS) generation and $Ca^{2+}$ flux. This effect was abolished in the presence of N-acetyl-cysteine and BAPTA- AM. Furthermore, Nrf1/2 activation by LDR was suppressed by PD98059, an inhibitor of ERK1/2. In conclusion, LDR induces Nrf1 and Nrf2 activation and expression of Nrf-regulated antioxidant defense genes through RS and $Ca^{2+}$/ERK1/2 pathways, suggesting new insights into the molecular mechanism underlying the beneficial role of LDR in HS27 cells.

The present study was designed to investigate the cardioprotective effects of Korean Red Ginseng extract (KRG) on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac injury in rats, particularly in regards to electrocardiographic changes, hemodynamics, cardiac function, serum cardiac enzymes, components of the myocardial antioxidant defense system, as well as inflammatory markers and histopathological changes in heart tissue. ISO (150 mg/kg, subcutaneous, two doses administered at 24-hour intervals) treatment induced significant decreases in P waves and QRS complexes (p<0.01), as well as a significant increase in ST segments. Moreover, ISO-treated rats exhibited decreases in left-ventricular systolic pressure, maximal rate of developed left ventricular pressure ($+dP/dt_{max}$) and minimal rate of developed left ventricular pressure ($-dP/dt_{max}$), in addition to significant increases in lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase and creatine kinase activity. Heart rate, however, was not significantly altered. And the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase were decreased, whereas the activity of malondialdehyde was increased in the ISO-treated group. ISO-treated group also showed increased caspase-3 level, release of inflammatory markers and neutrophil infiltration in heart tissue. KRG pretreatment (250 and 500 mg/kg, respectively) significantly ameliorated almost all of the parameters of heart failure and myocardial injury induced by ISO. The protective effect of KRG on ISO-induced cardiac injury was further confirmed by histopathological study. In this regard, ISO treatment induced fewer morphological changes in rats pretreated with 250 or 500 mg/kg of KRG. Compared with the control group, all indexes in rats administered KRG (500 mg/kg) alone were unaltered (p>0.05). Our results suggest that KRG significantly protects against cardiac injury and ISO-induced cardiac infarction by bolstering antioxidant action in myocardial tissue.

Polyamine 함량이 증가된 형질전환 식물체들은 $H_2O_2$ 처리에 의해서 야기된 산화적스트레스에 대해 야생형 식물체보다 조직 손상이 월등히 낮았으며 백화와 괴사되는 정도도 훨씬 낮았으며 chlorophyll 양의 손실도 비교적 적은 편이었다. 또한 고염분 스트레스를 처리하면서 야생형보다 비교적 높게 유지되었으며 4달 정도까지 생장이 지속되었지만 야생형 식물체에서는 생장이 거의 정지되어 식물체가 고사하였다. 그 외에 ABA를 처리하여 노화를 유도한 경우 야생형에서 훨씬 빠르게 노화가 일어났으며 형질전환 식물체 잎에서는 노화가 트게 지연되었다. 또한 pH3.0의 potassium phosphate를 처리한 경우에도 야생형의 잎보다 형질전환 식물체 잎에서 갈변등의 세포 손상이 크게 지연되었다. 곰팡이 감염에서도 높은 저항성을 보였으며 항산화효소임 GST와 CAT 유전자 발현이 증가하였다. Ethylene 발현 저해 식물체에서도 스트레스를 처리한 후 ethylene 생합성 효소의 발현이 억제되면서 스트레스 저항성을 나타내었다. 따라서 이러한 스트레스에 의하여 유도되는 노화의 지연현상이 야생형 식물체보다 형질전환 식물체 잎에서 두드러지게 나타나는데 그 기작은 mpolyamine이 이러한 스트레스를 완화시키는데 작용하였기 때문이라고 생각된다.

The impact of mobile phone (MP) radiation on the brain is of specific interest to the scientific community and warrants investigations, as MP is held close to the head. Studies on humans and rodents revealed hazards MP radiation associated such as brain tumors, impairment in cognition, hearing etc. Melatonin (MT) is an important modulator of CNS functioning and is a neural antioxidant hormone. Zebrafish has emerged as a popular model organism for CNS studies. Herein, we evaluated the impact of GSM900MP (GSM900MP) radiation exposure daily for 1 hr for 14 days with the SAR of 1.34W/Kg on neurobehavioral and oxidative stress parameters in zebrafish. Our study revealed that, GSM900MP radiation exposure, significantly decreased time spent near social stimulus zone and increased total distance travelled, in social interaction test. In the novel tank dive test, the GSM900MP radiation exposure elicited anxiety as revealed by significantly increased time spent in bottom half; freezing bouts and duration and decreased distance travelled, average velocity, and number of entries to upper half of the tank. Exposed zebrafish spent less time in the novel arm of the Y-Maze, corroborating significant impairment in learning as compared to the control group. Exposure decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities whereas, increased levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) was encountered showing compromised antioxidant defense. Treatment with MT significantly reversed the above neurobehavioral and oxidative derangements induced by GSM900MP radiation exposure. This study traced GSM900MP radiation exposure induced neurobehavioral aberrations and alterations in brain oxidative status. Furthermore, MT proved to be a promising therapeutic candidate in ameliorating such outcomes in zebrafish.

Morinda citrifolia adventitious roots were cultured in shake flasks using Murashige and Skoog medium with different types and concentrations of auxin and cytokinin. Root (fresh weight and dry weight) accumulation was enhanced at 5 $mg\;l^{-1}$ indole butyric acid (IBA) and at 7 and 9 $mg\;l^{-1}$ naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). On the other hand, 9 $mg\;l^{-1}$ NAA decreased the anthraquinone, phenolic and flavonoid contents more severely than 9 $mg\;l^{-1}$ IBA. When adventitious roots were treated with kinetin (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 $mg\;l^{-1}$) and thidiazuron (TDZ; 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 $mg\;l^{-1}$) in combination with 5 $mg\;l^{-1}$ IBA, fresh weight and dry weight decreased but secondary metabolite content increased. The secondary metabolite content (including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl activity) increased more in TDZ-treated than in kinetin-treated roots. Antioxidative enzymes such as catalase (CAT) and guaiacol peroxidase (G-POD), which play important roles in plant defense, also increased. A strong decrease in ascorbate peroxidase activity resulted in a high accumulation of hydrogen peroxide. This indicates that adventitious roots can grow under stress conditions with induced CAT and G-POD activities and higher accumulations of secondary metabolites. These results suggest that 5 $mg\;l^{-1}$ IBA supplementation is useful for growth and secondary metabolite production in adventitious roots of M. citrifolia.

This study is designed to examine the effects of dietary supplementation with vitamin E and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on the formation of preneoplastic lesions in diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced rat hepatocarcinogenesis. All Weaning male Sprague-Dawley rats were initiated by a single dose of DEN (200mg/kg body weight), subjected to two­thirds partial hepatectomy 3 weeks later and were sacrificed 8 weeks after DEN initiation. Two weeks after initiation, rats were fed Purina purified rodent diet 5053 (Ralston Purina Rat chow, USA) with $1.5\%$ (15,000 IU/kg diet) vitamin E, $0.5\%$ DHEA and both of those supplemented diet for 6 weeks. Placental glutathione S-transferase (GST-P) positive foci, the activities of catalase, total-glutathione peroxidase (GPx) , glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) contents were decreased significantly by vitaimin E supplement. On the other hand GST-P positive foci number, Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activities weren't changed by vitamin E supplement. It might suggest that protective effect of vitamin E against hepatocarcinogens is not involved in the formation of the GST-P positive foci but related to the expansion of that. It seemed that vitamin E supplement helped endogenous defense system in carcinogenesis by decreasing TBARS contents, $H_2O_2$, organic peroxides. Therefore, vitamin E seemed to protect cell from free radical damage in carcinogenesis. By DHEA supplement liver weight and liver/body ratio were increased, the area and number of GST-P positive foci, the activities of catalase, GR, total GPx, GST and the TBARS contents were decreased significantly. On the other hand Cu/Zn-SOD and G6Pase activities weren't changed by DHEA supplement. In hepatocarcinogenesis the activities of antioxidant enzymes weren't increased by DHEA supplement. DHEA did not increase the oxidative stress, while DHEA seems to have anticarcinogenic effect in rats hepatocarcinogenesis.
