본 연구는 목초액의 섭취가 훈련된 흰쥐의 항산화방어기전에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험대상으로는 Sprague-Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐를 사용하였는데 실험그룹은 비운동 대조군과 운동 대조군, 목초액 섭취 비 운동 대조군, 목초액 섭취 운동 대조군으로 나누어 수행하였는데 체중과 혈중성분 변화, 글리코겐 함량, SOD 활성 수준, MDA 함량에 관한 분석을 하였다. 체중과 체지방(장간막, 복막후, 부고환)은 각 그룹 간에 유의한 차이가 없었고, TG와 FFA 농도도 목초액 섭취로 인한 차이는 없었다. Glucose 농도는 대조군 보다 운동군에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었으나 목초액 섭취로 인한 차이는 없었다. 목초액 투여 운동군에서의 SOD 활성은 다른 그룹보다 유의하게 높았다. 운동 대조군에서의 MDA 함량은 비운동 대조군보다 유의하게 낮게 나타났으나 대조군과 목초액 투여군 간의 차이는 없었다. 결론적으로 운동과 목초액 섭취는 산화적 스트레스의 감소에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary Indongcho(L. japonica Thunb) powder on blood glucose, serum lipid levels and antioxidative enzymes in normal and streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Four groups of rats(3-week-old inbred Sprague-Dawley male rats) were normal rats fed control diet(NC), diabetic rats fed control diet(DC), normal rats fed Indongcho powder diet(NI), and diabetic rats fed Indongcho powder diet(DI). Diabetes was induced by single injection of streptozotocin(60mg/kg B.W., i.p.). The animals were fed ad libium each of the experimental diet for 5 weeks. Food and water intakes were determined everyday. Blood glucose and serum total cholesterol levels were determined every week. After 5 weeks the animals were sacrificed and activities of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation products were determined in their liver and kidney homogenates. We also determined serum concentrations of total lipid(TL), total cholesterol(TC), triglycerides(TG) and HDL-cholesterol(HDL-C). Blood sugar and water intake were higher in diabetic group(DC and DI group) than normal group(NC and NI group) and were not significantly decreased by dietary Indongcho intake. Body weight gain and FER(feed efficiency ratio) were reduced by STZ treatment. But, Final body weight was recovered by Indongcho-contained diet. LHR(LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol) of the DI g re up was significantly lower than the other experimental groups(NC, NI and DC groups). The hepatic glucose 6-phosphatase(G6Pase) activity of the groups fed Indongcho diet(NI and DI group) was lower than the groups fed control diet(NC and DC group) and the G6Pase activity of NI group was recovered to the normal levels(p<0.05). However, The glutathione peroxidase(GPx) and glutathione reductase(GR) activities in liver and G6Pase activity in kidney were not statistically different between the control and diabetic control groups. Renal GST activity of the DI group was recovered by Indongcho intake. In conclusion, these results confirm oxidative stress in the liver and kidney of rats with STZ diabetes and antioxidative effect of Indongcho.

Fructose-1, 6-diphosphate (FOP), a glycolytic metabolite is reported to ameliorate inflammation and inhibit the nitric oxide production in murine macrophages stimulated with endotoxin. It is also reported that FOP has cytoprotective effects against hypoxia or ischemia/reperfusion injury in brain and heart. In this study, we examined whether FDP has protective effects on UV-induced oxidative damage in skin cell culture system and human skin in vivo. FDP had a protective role in UVB-induced LDH release and ROS accumulation in HaCaT although it did not show direct radical scavenging effect in the experiment using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). FDP also preserved cellular GSH content after UV irradiation in HaCaT and normal human fibroblast culture system. Cellular oxidative stress induces multiple downstream signaling pathways that regulate expression of multiple gene including MMP-1 and collagen, we examined the effects of FDP on UV-induced alteration of these protein expression in fibroblast culture and human skin in vivo. The increased MMP-1 expression in fibroblast and human skin by UV irradiation was significantly decreased by FDP. FDP also prevented the UV-induced decrease of collagen expression in fibroblast and human skin. Moreover, the decreasing the intracellular levels of reducing equivalents in human fibroblast by glutathione (GSH) depletion lowered the UVA dose threshold for reduction of procollagen expression, indicating that the differences of glutathione contents define the susceptibility of fibroblasts towards UV-induced reduction of procollagen expression. FDP also preserved cellular GSH content after UV irradiation, indicating that FDP has protective effects on UV-induced reduction of procollagen expression, which are possibly through maintaining intracellular reducing equivalent. Based on these premises, we examined the effect of daily use of a moisturizer containing FDP on facial wrinkle in comparison with vehicle moisturizer lacking FDP. In the clinical study, FDP significantly decreased facial wrinkle compared with vehicle alone after 6 months of use. Our results suggest that FDP has anti-aging effects in skin by increasing cellular antioxidant system and preventing oxidative signal and inflammatory reaction. Therefore FDP may be useful anti-aging agent for cosmetic purpose.

There are accumulating evidences that high levels of dietary iron may play a role in colon carcinogenesis. Elevated iron status has been associated with oxidative stress. Phytic acid (PA) functions as an antioxidant by chelating divalent cations and prevents formation of reactive oxygen species responsible for cell injury and carcinogenesis. The protective effect of PA was investigated on formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) induced by azoxymethane (AOM) in iron-overloaded male F344 rats. After acclimation with AIN-93G purified diet (35 ppm Fe, normal control diet) for one week, animals were fed iron-overloaded diet (350 ppm Fe) and PA (0.5% or 2% PA in water) for 8 weeks. Animals received two (1st and 2nd week) injections of AOM (15 mg/kg b.w.) to induce colonic ACF. The colonic mucosa was examined for the total numbers of aberrant crypt (AC) and ACF after staining with methylene blue. The blood and serum were analyzed with a blood cell differential counter and an automatic serum analyzer. Iron-overloaded diet increased the concentration of iron in liver of the rats. But iron-related parameters in blood were not changed among experimental groups. The numbers of ACF per colon and AC per colon were $178.8{\pm}33.2$ and $448.4{\pm}110.2$ in the iron-overloaded F344 rats. The total AC was significantly increased, compared with normal-diet AOM control group (p < 0.05). The treatments of PA at the dose of 0.5% slightly decreased the number of ACF and AC per colon to $153.6{\pm}29.5$ and $396.3{\pm}107.5$. However, there were no significant differences in the total numbers of ACF and AC between the AOM control group and PA (0.5% or 2%)-treated groups. These results suggest that PA may not affect the formation of ACF or AC induced by AOM in ironoverloaded F344 rats.

본 연구에서는 파극천 추출물의 수면연장 시간, 항 경련효과 및 시험관내에서 파극천의 각 분획별 활성산소의 소거능을 관찰하여 본 결과 pentobarbital을 투여한 대조군의 수면 유도시간 및 수면시간($3.77{\pm}0.56$분, 수면시간 $68.3{\pm}6.8$분)이 파극천 추출물(200 mg/kg)을 전 처리하고 pentobarbital을 투여함으로써 수면유도 시간($3.95{\pm}0.56$분) 및 수면시간($110.4{\pm}10.3$분)이 연장되었다. PTZ에 의해 유도되는 경련 발작이 대조군 $4.9{\pm}0.98$인데 비해 파극천(200 mg/kg)의 전처리로 경련박작이 $3.2{\pm}0.54$로 현저히 억제되었으며 이 결과는 PTZ의 경련발현시간, 경련유지시간 및 사망시간에 미치는 파극천의 영향과 유사하였다. 뇌중 GABA 함량은 PTZ의 투여로 정상군에 비하여 억제되던 것이 파극천의 전처리로 증가 되었으며, GABA-T의 활성과 지질과산화의 함량은 PTZ의 투여로 각각 증가되던 것이 파극천 추출물의 투여로 억제되었다. 시험관내에서 PTZ로 유도된 뇌조직중의 hydroxy radical의 생성량은 butanol 및 dichlomethane 분획의 첨가($20{\times}10^{-2}g/ml$)에서 약 35%에서 50%까지 감소하였다.

본 연구는 김부각(KB), 쑥부쟁이 나물부각(SB), 쑥부쟁이 나물김부각(NB)을 제조하여 품질특성을 조사하였다. NB는 쑥부쟁이 나물을 잘게 썰어 들깨 양념하여 김에 부착시켜 찹쌀풀을 발라 부각으로 제조 한 후 동결 건조하였다. KB보다 SB와 NB의 기름 흡유율이 높아 나물의 기름 흡수가 많았다. SB의 DPPH radical 소거능이 가장 높게 측정되었으며 KB 보다는 NB가 높게 측정되어 나물이 김보다 항산화능이 높았다. 저장기간이 길어질수록 수분함량은 증가하는 반면 최대하중, 항복응력 및 경도는 감소하는 경향이었다. 전반적인 기호도는 NB>KB>SB 순이었고, NB와 SB 간 유의한 차이가 있었다. $25^{\circ}C$에서 40일 저장한 NB의 산가 및 과산화물가는 점차 증가하는 경향이었으나, 산패의 기준에는 못 미쳤다. 따라서, $25^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 40일까지는 저장 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 쑥부쟁이뿐만 아니라 기능성이 입증된 다양한 나물을 첨가한 부각을 제조한다면 다양한 소비자 기호도를 충족시킬 수 있는 부각제조가 가능할 수 있을 것으로 본다.

Application of phytoremediation in the polluted area to remove undesirable materials is a complex and difficult subject without detailed investigation and experimentation. We investigated the accumulation patterns of cadmium and lead in plants naturally grown, the bioavailability of plants to accumulate these toxic metals and the responses of P. thunbergii to cadmium and lead. The soil samples contained detectable lead (<17.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/g), whereas cadmium was not detected in the soils of study area. The whole body of Persicaria thunbergii contained detectable lead (<320.8$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) but cadmium was detected only in the stem (<7.4$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) and root (<10.4$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) of P. thunbergii. Cadmium was not detected in Trapa japonica and Nymphoides peltata, whereas lead was detected in T. japonica (<323.7$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) and N. peltata (<177.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/g). Correlation coefficient between lead content in soil and in these plant samples represented positive correlation. The total content of lead in each plant sample increased in the order of N.peltata$\leq$P.thunbergii

Pachymic acid는 복령에서 분리된 lanostane-type인 triterpenoid의 일종이다. 최근 pachymic acid가 항암 및 항염증 효능과 산화적 스트레스에 대한 항산화 효능 등과 같은 약리적인 효능이 있는 것으로 밝혀지고 있으나, 그에 대한 구체적인 분자생물학적 기전 연구는 매우 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 pachymic acid의 항암활성 및 관련 기전 조사의 일환으로 T24 인체 방광암세포 모델을 이용하여 pachymic acid에 의한 apoptosis 유발 여부를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 pachymic acid는 T24 세포의 증식을 유의적으로 억제시켰으며, 이는 apoptosis 유발과 연관성이 있음을 다양한 방법으로 확인하였다. Pachymic acid에 의한 apoptosis 유도에는 pro-apoptotic 인자들의 발현 증가와 anti-apoptotic 유전자 산물들의 발현 감소가 동반되었으며, MMP의 소실과 tBid의 발현 증가가 관찰되었다. 아울러 pachymic acid는 extrinsic 및 intrinsic apoptosis 경로의 개시에 관여하는 caspase-8 및 -9의 활성뿐 만 아니라, caspase-3의 활성도 증가시킴으로서 PARP와 같은 기질 단백질의 단편화를 초래하였다. 따라서 pachymic acid는 항암활성을 지니는 천연생리활성 물질로서의 잠재력이 매우 높음을 알 수 있었다.

The oxidative stress causes the cell damage and death and thereby, stimulates membrane lipid peroxidation. In this study, the correlation between the lipid peroxidation product and the parameter of liver fibrosis (cirrhosis) was investigated in cholestasis induced rats. The Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups (sham: sham operation, BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II : bile duct ligation/scission) and were observed for 2 or 4 weeks. After observation period, the organs were weighed and the ratio of organ weight/body weight was calculated. Sera and liver tissue were used for the measurement of malondealdehyde (MDA), parameter of clinical biochemistry, total collagen content and the staining. The ratio of organ weight/body weight in BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II was significantly increased compared to sham operated group. Serological parameters (Alanine transaminase, Aspartate transaminase, Alkaline phosphatase and Total bilirubin) in BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II group were significantly higher than those in sham operated group. Concentration of MDA in BDL/S-I (261%) and BDL/S-II(790%) was significantly increased compared to MDA in sham operated group. And the content of hydroxyproline (hyp) in BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II group was significantly increased 2~4 times than in sham operated group. The good correlations between hyp in liver tissue and MDA in sera of sham operated group and all operated group were found (r=0.825). The significantly higher value of MDA, hyp and serological parameters in BDL/S-I and BDL/S-II group suggests the stimulation of lipid peroxidation and chronic liver damage. Especially the activation of lipid peroxidation and the stimulation of liver fibrosis was stronger in BDL/S-II group than in BDL/S-I group. The stronger fibrosis, portal-portal septum formation, the more massive bile duct proliferation in portal triads and stroma, and hepatocytes swelling were observed in liver tissue of and BDL/S-II group compared to BDL/S-I group. Conclusively, a good correlation between MDA as a lipid peroxidation marker and hyp as a liver fibrotic parameter could be connected with the process of liver fibrosis. Moreover, cholestasis condition may cause jaundice, activation of lipid peroxidation, and collagen accumulation in liver. Additionally, optimal observation period of bile duct obstruction for the screening of antioxidant and antifibrotic effect in rats would be four weeks.
