We investigated antioxidative activity of the water and ethanol extracts of leaves of Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus in human dermal fibroblast (HDFs) irradiated by UVA. The irradiation of UVA did not affect the cell viability of HDFs. The antioxidative activity of the extract was investigated by xylenol orange, TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and antioxidant enzyme assay. Both extracts showed H202 scavenging activity and inhibited lipid peroxidation in HDF cells irradiated by UVA. The extracts also recovered enzyme activity in the same cells.

The ethanol extracts of mixed vegetables (Bioactive Vegetables, BV), mixed fruits (Bioactive Fruits, BF) and their liquid formulation (Chungpae Plus , CP) were evaluated for their antioxidative and antigenotoxic activities. They were shown to possess the significant free radical scavenging effect against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazine (DPPH) radical generation and were revealed to show the inhibitory effect of lipid peroxidation as measured by malondialdehyde (MDA) formation although the potencies were not higher than those of vitamin C. They did not possess any pro-oxidant effect on bleomycin-Fe(III) dependent DNA degradation, whereas vitamin C showed strong pro-oxidant effect. Furthermore, oral administration of BV and BF inhibited micronucleated reticulocyte (MNRET) formation of mouse peripheral blood induced by KBrO3 treatment in vivo. CP also showed significant inhibition under same experimental condition. Therefore, the liquid formulation (CP) containing BV and BF may be a useful natural antioxidative and antigenotoxic agent by scavenging free radicals, inhibition of lipid peroxidation and protecting chromosomal damage.

Among 59 Korean isolated, 20 were confirmed as members of the genus Bifidobaferium species based on gram staining, microscopic examination of cell morphology and the TLC method, The oxygen tolerance and antioxidative activities of these 20 Bifidobacterium strains and 5 standard Bifidobaferium strains were tested. All the strains demonstrated antioxidative activities as regards inhibiting linoleic acid peroxidation. The antioxidative activities of isolated and standard strains were found to range from 10.7-46.4% and from 10.7-22.2%, respectively. In addition, all tested strains exhibited a Scavenging ability on DPPH free radicals, range from 15-41% for the isolated strains and 8.3-22% for the standard strain. Accordingly. the isolated Bifidobarterium strains demonstrated higher antioxidative artivities than the 5 standa rd Bifidobarterium strains. On the base of grades for each test, HJL 7511 was identified 35 the best strain, followed by HJL 7501. 2 strains were identified with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay using group-specific primers designed from the nucleotide Sequences of the 16S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the Bifidobacteria. Based on the Sequencing results, HJL 7511 and HJL 7501 were identified as Bifidobacterium infantis.

In this study, n-butanol and ethyl acetate extracts were prepared from raw yam (Dioscorea batatas DECNE.). Their antioxidative potencies were investigated employing various in vitro methods, such as ferrous ion chelating, ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assay, lipid peroxidation inhibition and nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging and nitrite scavenging activity. The n-butanol fraction was assayed to possess stronger antioxidant activity by ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assay, lipid peroxidation inhibition and NO radical scavenging activity. However, ethyl acetate extract was more effective in chelating ferrous ion and scavenging nitrite. Based on the results obtained, yam is a potential active ingredient that could be applied in antioxidation as well as bio-health functional food to take a good part in prevention of human diseases and aging.

Oxidative stress has been implicated in cutaneous damage in various inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis. The present study was undertaken to investigate the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of the extract of Duchesnea chrysantha (DCE). DEC was prepared by extracting with 80% ethanol. Total flavonoids and polyphenols were measured by a colorimetric assay. The free radical scavenging activity of the extract was analyzed by the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl), ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and Griess reagent assay. An oxidative product of nitric oxide (NO), was measured in the culture medium by the Griess reaction. The level of prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were measured by Western blot analysis. Total flavonoid and polyphenol contents of DCE were included $24.73{\pm}0.45$ and $178.77{\pm}2.65$, respectively. DCE significantly increased electron donating ability (DPPH), nitrite scavenging (NO) and ABTS reducing activity in dose dependant. We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of DCE on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. DCE significantly suppressed NO and prdstaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) in dose dependant. Furthermore, the levels of iNOS and COX-2 protein expressions were markedly suppressed by the treatment with DCE in a dose dependent manner. These results suggest that DEC may has value as natural product with its high quality functional components, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities.

This study investigated the effects of steaming on the antioxidative activities of ray hydrolysates in vitro. Based on the results of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, steamed ray hydrolysate possessed significantly higher antioxidative activities than raw ray hydrolysates (p<0.05). The 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity of steamed ray hydrolysate by pancreatin was slightly lower than raw ray hydrolysate at all concentrations. Raw ray hydrolysate displayed moderate hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, while steamed ray hydrolysate showed a greater increase in hydroxyl radical scavenging activity than raw ray hydrolysate at concentrations above 21.33 mg/mL, and it reached 58.21% at 42.67 mg/mL. The results of this study show that ray hydrolysates have potent free radical scavenging activities and reducing power, and the steaming has a partial impact on the antioxidative activity of ray hydrolysates.
