매실나무(Carthamus tinctorius L.)는 한국, 일본과 중국에서 전통적으로 약효가 있는 음식으로 사용되어 왔다. 특히 과일은 위염증 및 위궤양에 도움이 되는 생물학적 효과가 있다고 보고되었다. 그러나 피부미백과 관련된 효능에 대한 연구는 이직까지 미진하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 항산화 및 피부미백에 대한 매실추출물의 효능이 조사되었다. MTT assay를 이용한 세포생존에 대한 결과로 매실추출물은 0.1% 이하의 농도에서 세포독성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 다음에 매실추출물의 환원력 뿐만 아니라 DPPH radical, hydrogen peroxide 및 superoxide에 대한 직접적인 소거효과가 in vitro에서 평가되었다. 그것은 이상의 활성산소종에 대한 소거효과를 발휘하게 하는 우수한 환원력을 가지고 있다. 더욱이 산화적 스트레스와 연관된 genomic DNA 손상에 대한 보호효과가 농도에 따라 증가하는 것이 관찰 되었다. 뿐만 아니라 L-dopa에 의하여 유발되는 멜라닌 생성에 대한 억제효과를 나타내었다. 그것은 또한 Western blot 분석에서 항산화와 괸련된 NRF-2, SOD-1 및 SOD-2 발현수준을 감소시킨다는 것이 발견되었다. 이러한 결과들은 매실추출물이 항산화에 의한 멜라닌생성의 억제를 통하여 피부 미백효과를 발휘할 수 있다는 것을 암시한다.

Although polysaccharide is believed to play an important role in the medicinal effect of Dendrobium chrysotoxum Lindl (DCL), its role as an antioxidant and in anti-hyperglycemic induction was not reported. In this study, polysaccharide with molecular weight of approximately 150 kDa, herein named DCLP, was isolated from the stem of DCL, and its antioxidative, hypoglycemic and immune stimulating effects were evaluated using various in vitro and in vivo assay systems. DCLP inhibited hydroxyl radicals ($^{\cdot}$OH)-mediated deoxyribose degradation by scavenging hydroxyl radicals directly as well as by chelating iron ions. DCLP also showed dose-dependent scavenging activity on superoxide anions ($O_2^{{\cdot}-}$) and offered significant protection (p < 0.001) against glucose oxidase-mediated cytotoxicity in Jurkat cells. DCLP had immune stimulating effects, as evidenced by the DCLP-mediated increases in the level of DNA synthesis, viability, and cytokine secretion in mouse lymphocytes. Moreover, oral administration of DCLP produced a significant reduction in blood glucose level in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. These findings suggest that DCLP has a potential utility in treating patients who require enhanced antioxidation, immune function and/or hypoglycemic activity.

Extraction of Sedum sarmentosum Bunge by super critical carbon dioxide was operated under $40-50^{\circ}C$and 200-250 atm, thus, yield of extraction was very low as 4 wt%. Rats were administrated with the extract orally once a day for succesive 6 days, followed by treatment with carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$) on the sixth day. The activities of aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transpeptidase, lactate dehydrogenase and contents of triglyceride, total cholesterol in the extract-pretreated rats were decreased compared to the $CCl_4$controled rats, whereas content of HDL-cholesterol was increased. Especially content of hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) and atherogenic index (AI) were decreased and HTR was increased in the extract-pretreated rats, and reduced peroxidative liver damage in the $CCl_4$-induced hepatotoxicity rats. In addition, activities of hepatic superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase in the extract-pretreated rats were significantly decreased compared to the $CCl_4$ controled rats, but the content of glutathione was significantly increased. These results suggest that extract of Sedum sarmentosum Bunge has hepatoprotective effect in the $CCl_4$-intoxicated rats.

The production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by the UV irradiated skin fibroblast and the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) by these enzymes is known as one of the main reasons of photoaging. In this paper, to investigate the relationship between aging and Selaginella tamariscina extract (STE), we investigated the effects of antioxidant and expression of UVA-induced MMP-1 in human dermal fibroblasts. STE was found to show scavenging activities of radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the $IC_{50}$/ values of 65.1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical and 40.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ against superoxide radicals in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system, respectively. UVA induced MMP expression was reduced 75.5% by treatment with STE, and MMP-1 mRNA expression was reduced in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore STE was able to significantly inhibition of MMP expression in protein and mRNA level. All these results suggested that STE may act as an anti-aging agent by antioxidation and reducing UVA-induced MMP-1 production.

Objectives : This experiment was done to evaluate the effects of Hyuntogobon-hwan(HTG) on antioxidant capability and lipidic concentration in blood, both of which are presumed to be related to aging. Methods : 12 week-old SD rats were divided into controlled group, uncontrolled group and HTG group. As controlled and HTG groups were given subcutaneous injection of D-galactose(50mg/kg/rat), at the same time HTG group was administered extract of Hyuntogobon-hwan(270mg/200g). HTG injections continued for 6 weeks. After initial injections, blood was drawn from each group and the following were measured: the activity of SOD, GSH-px, catalase in erythrocytes, TSARS value, concentration of total lipid, tryglyceride in blood plasma. Results : The activities of SOD and GSH-px in erythrocytes increased significantly in HTG group compared with controlled group. The activity of catalase seemed to increase slightly, but it was barely noticeable. The concentration of total lipid in plasma decreased significantly in HTG group compared with controlled group. The value of TBARS in plasma seemed to decrease slightly, but it was barely noticeable. Conclusions : According to the above results, Hyuntogobon-hwan has an influence on aging by virtue of activation of antioxidative enzyme systems in erythrocytes and concentrations of lipid in blood plasma.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Cheunggihwadamhwan (CGHDH) extract on lowering lipid, antioxidation and production of proinflammatory cytokines in rats fed on high fat diet. Methods 40 Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed on high fat diet for 8 weeks and 32 rats (above 400 g) were randomly divided into 4 groups (8 mice in each group) : control group, 100 mg/Kg CGHDH group, 200 mg/Kg CGHDH group, 300 mg/Kg CGHDH group. We fed a control group of rats a basal diet and administered normal saline(100 mg/kg, 1 time/1 day) for 4 weeks. And We fed each experimental group of rats basal diet and administered an extract of Cheunggihwadamhwan extracts (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg, 1 time/1 day) for 4 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the rats were sacrificed to determine their chemical composition. We measured lipid in plasma and liver, concentration of proinflammatory cytokines, antioxidative activity and gene expression. The gene expression level was investigated by the way of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results 1. Concentration of plasma FFA, plasma TG, plasma total cholesterol and plasma LDL-cholesterol showed a significant decrement in Cheunggihwadamhwan groups. However, concentration of plasma HDL-cholesterol showed a significant increment in 200, 300 mg/kg Cheunggihwadamhwan groups. 2. Concentration of liver total cholesterol and liver TG showed a significant decrement in Cheunggihwadamhwan groups. 3. Concentration of plasma TBARS showed a significant decrement in all Cheunggihwadamhwan groups. Concentration of liver TBARS showed a significant decrement in 200, 300 mg/kg Cheunggihwadamhwan groups.
