홍삼 사포닌의 항산화 작용을 나타내는 활성성분을 screening하기 위하여 홍삼 추출물(물 추출물, 알코올 추출물, 지용성분획, 총 사포닌, PD 및 PT)이 항산화 효소(SOD, catalase)의활성도 변화와 $H_2O$$_2$ 및 MDA의 함량 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 항산화 효소인 SOD의 활성도를 조사해 본 결과 지용성 추출물, PD, 알코올 추출물 투여군 순으로 활성도를 높이는 것으로 조사되었으며, SOD에 의한 중간 생성물인 $H_2O$$_2$의 함량을 조사한 결과 모든 추출물 투여군에서 감소하였으며, 그 중에서도 PT 알코올 추출물 및 PD투여군이 유의성있게 감소하였다. catalase 활성도는 지용성 추출물 투여군이 가장 높았고, 그 다음으로 총 사포닌, 알코올 추출물 투여군 순으로 조사되었다. 유리기에 의해 생성된 지질과 산화의 최종산물인 MDA의 함량은 모든 추출물 투여군에서 유의성(p<0.01) 있게 감소하였으며, 그 중에서도 지용성 추출물, 알코올 추출물, PD투여군 순으로 가장 많이 감소하였다. 이와 같은 홍삼 사포닌의 항산화 효과는 SOD및 catalase와 같은 항산화 효소의 직접적인 작용과 홍삼의 특정 성분들이 생체내에서 내인성 항산화 물질의 합성능력을 강화시킴으로서 산화적 손상에 대한 방어기전을 향상시키는 결과로 생각되며, 그중에서 지용성 추출물과 PD분획물이 가장 효과적인 성분으로 생각된다.

This study was performed to investigate the potential use of Saussurea lappa C.B. Clarke as a source of antioxidant agents. Various solvent fractionates from S. lappa C.B. Clarke roots were investigated for their anti-oxidative effectiveness. The contents of total phenolics and flavonoids were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu's colorimetric and the aluminum nitrate method, respectively. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of n-butanol soluble fractionates from S. lappa C.B. Clarke, 44.43 ${\mu}g$ gallic acid equilibrium (GAE)/g extract and 92.15 ${\mu}g$ quercetin equilibrium (QE)/g extract, respectively, were higher than those of other solvent fractionates. The n-butanol soluble fractionates of S. lappa C.B. Clarke (1,000 ppm) showed the strongest inhibitory potential on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and reducing power at 92.98% and 0.38, respectively. Thus, our data shows that the S. lappa C.B. Clarke plant may help prevent antioxidative stress.

노화과정에 산소라디칼이 관여할 가능성을 난소를 절제한 횐 쥐를 동물모델로 하여 알아보았다. 난소를 절제한 쥐와 난소를 절제하지 않은 정상 쥐에서의 생리활성 및 항산화 효과를 알아보기 위하여 CS를 사용하였다. 난소를 절제한 횐 쥐에 각각 CS를 각 100 mg/kg과 200 mg/kg을 투여하고, 이것과 비교하기 위해 난소를 절제한 대조군과 난소를 절제하지 않은 정상군으로 하여 항산화 효과에 관한 실험방법으로 진행하였다. 노화 유도된 쥐의 각 조직에서 지질 과산화가 증가되었고 유리기 반응이 더 심하게 일어난 간 조직에서 노화 진행이 그만큼 촉진되었음을 알 수 있었다. 산소라디칼 반응이 항진된 원인을 규명코자 간 조직에서 항산화 효소의 활성을 조사한 결과, SOD와 GSH의 활성이 감소되었으며, 노화나 지질과산화가 심하게 진행되었던 간 조직에서 이들 항산화 효소의 활성감소가 심한 경향을 나타내었다. AST의 활성은 OVX 군이 Sham 군에 비해 2.1배 높게 나타났으며, ALT 활성은 크게 변화하지 않았다. 과산화지질한량은 OVX 군이 Sham 군에 비해 1.4배 높게 나타났으며, CS를 투여한 군에서는 31%-38%의 저해율을 보였다. 항산화 효소들은 Sham 군에 비해 OVX 군에서 낮게 나타났으며, 물질 투여 군에서는 정도의 차이는 있지만 대체로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과에서 보듯이, 난소절제로 생성된 유리기는 물질 투여로 인한 항산화 효소의 증가를 가져오고 이는 결국 유리기로 손상된 막의 지질과산화 정도를 완화시켜 세포를 보호하는 효과를 가져왔다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 CS는 여러 가지 측면에서 난소절제로 인해 유도된 지질과산화 및 활성산소에 의한 공격으로부터 세포를 보호하고 회복시켜주는 효과가 있다고 사료되어진다.

The study evaluated the effectiveness of intervention for male adolescent smokers by making an assessment in terms of changes in food habits, nutrition knowledge, plasma catalase, superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase peroxidase(GSH-px) activities and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS) after Vit C supplementation and nutrition education. The subjects, male adolescent smokers, were assigned into four groups : Control group(19 students), education(Educ.) group(19 students), Vit C supplementation (suppl) group(19 students), and Educ. + Vit C suppl. group(19 students). The Educ. group and Educ. + Vit C suppl. group received nutrition education once a week for 2 weeks. The Vit C suppl. group Educ. + Vit C suppl. group received 500 mg ascorbic acid for 35 days. All data were collected before intervention and after intervention. Nutrition knowledge of those who received education increased, and the frequency of fruit and yellow-green vegetable consumption also increased. Plasma antioxidant enzyme activities were not different except for the SOD activity in the Educ. + Vit C suppl. group, which was significantly increased. The plasma ceruloplasmin level of groups that received Vit C supplementation was reduced more than any other groups, and the specific ceruloplasmin ferroxidase activity of groups that received Vit C supplementation was elevated more than other groups. These intervention programs had an impact on food habits, nutrition knowledge, plasma antioxidant enzyme activities, and plasma TBARS in male adolescent smokers. Various nutrition education programs must be implemented for adolescent smokers, and further studied are needed regarding sorts and amount of antioxidant nutrients and supplementation duration.

Exposure to the sun, ultraviolet radiation, and oxidative stress are the chief etiologic factors responsible for melasma. The ingredients of Korean red ginseng powder, which include ginsenoside and phenolic compounds, have antioxidative effects and reduce ultraviolet B-induced pigmentation. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Korean red ginseng powder in patients with melasma. In 25 female patients, 3 g of Korean red ginseng powder was orally administered for a 24 week period. The level of pigmentation and erythema were determined and clinical improvement was evaluated by the melasma area and severity index (MASI), melasma quality of life scale (MELASQoL), and patient- and investigator-rated global improvement scale. After 24 weeks, the MASI score decreased from 8.8 to 5.6, and MELASQoL showed improvement in 91% of patients (p<0.05). The mean level of pigmentation decreased from 184.3 to 159.7 and erythema levels decreased from 253.6 to 216.4 (p<0.05). Additionally, 74% of the patients showed some improvement in both patient- and investigator-rated global improvement scales at week 24. Korean red ginseng powder was well tolerated by most of the patients. In conclusion, Korean red ginseng powder showed good tolerability and beneficial effects in patients with melasma. The use of Korean red ginseng would be counted as a useful adjunctive therapy for patients with melasma.

It has been proposed that oxidative modification of LDL (oxLDL) plays a significant role in the pathogenicity of atherogenesis. We tested the hypothesis that chitin and chitosan may function as antioxidants with respect to 0.1 mg cholesterol/ml LDL incubated with 5 $\mu$ M Cu$^2$$^{+}$alone or in the P338Dl mouse macrophage system using L-ascorbic acid as a standard classical antioxidant. The degree of oxLDL formation was ascertained by the relative electrophoretic mobility (rEM) in the combination of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels, and the cytotoxicity of oxLDL was detected by macrophage viability. The oxLDL uptake and foam cell formation of macrophages were measured by Oil Red O staining. Incubation with Cu$^2$$^{+}$and macrophages increased rEM of LDL and stimulated TBARS formation. Culture of macrophages with LDL in the presence 5 $\mu$ M Cu$^2$$^{+}$induced macrophage death. In cell-free system 200 $\mu$g/ml water-soluble chitosan and chitosan-oligosaccharide blocked oxLDL formation. Water-soluble chitosan and chitosan-oligosaccharide blocked oxLDL formation near-completely relative to L-ascorbic acid, whereas water-soluble chitin and chitin-oligosaccharide had no measurable antioxidant effect. In macrophage system water-soluble chitosan and chitosan-oligosaccharide blocked oxidation of LDL with a significant increase in cell viability, and decreased TBARS in medium. As for the inhibitory effect on macrophage foam cell formation, chitosan and its oligosaccharide, but not watersoluble chitin, revealed the effectiveness. The endothelial expression of lectin-like oxLDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) was tested by Western blot analysis, and chitosan, chitosan-oligosaccharide and chitin-oligosaccharide blocked LOX-1 expression. These results indicate that water-soluble chitosan and its oligosaccharide showed the inhibitory effect on Cu$^2$$^{+}$-induced LDL oxidation of macrophages, and chitosan, chitosan-oligosaccharide and chitin-oligosaccharide had blocking effect on oxLDL receptor expression in the human umbilical vein endothelial system. Thus, water-soluble chitosan and its oligosaccharides possess anti-atherogenic potentials possibly through the inhibition of macrophage LDL oxidation or endothelial oxLDL receptor expression depending on chemical types.l types.

다른 유지상(bulk, oil-in-water)에 친수성 항산화제로서 gallic acid를 소수성 항산화제로서 ${\delta}-tocopherol$을 처리하고, HLB(hydrophilic lipophilic balance)에 따른 유화제를 처리하여 기질의 차이에 따른 항산화제와 유화제가 유지의 산화안정성에 미치는 정도를 실험하였다. 유지는 정제하지 않은 콩기름을 사용하였고 bulk상에서 12일 경과시 gallic acid를 첨가한 처리구의 유도기간이 Rancimat method로 측정시 4.13인데 비해 ${\delta}-tocopherol$을 첨가한 처리구의 유도기간은 1.18로 친수성 항산화제를 처리한 것이 3배 정도의 유지산화지연효과를 보였다. 또한 유화제의 처리에 있어서는 lecithin을 처리한 것의 유도기간이 5.07로 tween 20 처리 2.23, span 60의 경우 2.9인것에 비해 산화안정성면에서 우수하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 과산화물가와 공액이중산함량에서도 같은 경향을 보였다. Emulsion상(oil-in-water)에서도 bulk상과 같은 경향을 보였으며 이것은 emulsion상에 소수성 항산화제를 처리한 것이 유지 산화안정성면에서 더 효과적이라는 결과와는 차이가 있는데 기질의 차이, 즉 정제하지 않은 시판 콩기름을 사용한 것에 의한 차이인 것 같다. Emulsion상에서 유지방구의 크기는 저장하면서 모든 처리구에서 작아지는 경향을 보였으며, 이것은 유지방구의 크기가 작아지면서 표면적이 증가하고 따라서 공기와 접하는 면이 커지게 되므로 유지상은 안정해지나 산화는 더 촉진되므로 상의 안정과 산화안정성의 적절한 설정기준이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

탈지된 산쑥(Artemisia montana Pampan)으로부터 물 추출물 및 에테르 추출물인 유리형 페놀산, 에스터형 및 불용성 페놀산을 추출하였다. 각 추출물들은 시판용 식용 대두유를 기질로 하여 $45^{\circ}C{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 빛이 없는 항온기에서 32일간 저장하였으며, 매 4일 간격으로 과산화물가와 TBA치를 측정하였다. 물 추출물을 첨가한 시험구에서 항산화 효력이 모두 대조구보다 높게 나타나 BHA와 유사한 효력을 보였으나 BHT보다는 모두 항산화 효과가 낮게 나타났다. 에테르 추출물인 유리형, 에스터형 및 불용성 페놀산을 첨가한 시험구에서는 대조구보다 항산화 효력이 높았으며 유리형은 항산화 효력이 BHA와 유사했고 에스터형은 BHA보다 높고 BHT보다 낮게 나타난 반면 불용성 페놀산은 BHT보다 항산화 효력이 높게 나타남을 보여 주었다. 그리고 세가지 페놀산 추출물 중에서는 불용성 페놀산이 가장 강한 항산화 효과를 나타내었고 에스터형, 유리형 순이었다. Gas chromatography 로 부터 분리 동정된 페놀산은 catechol, vanillin, umbellinferone, protocatechuic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid였다. 이상의 결과들을 종합해 볼때 약용으로 사용하고 있는 산쑥은 caffeic acid, catechol, protocatechuic acid등의 항산화 효력이 강한 성분이 많이 함유되어 있으므로 식용대두유 기질에서 좋은 항산화 효력를 나타낸다고 생각된다.
