This study was conducted to evaluate effects of storage temperatures ($4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$) and pig breeds (Laiwu pig and Large White pig) on the main antioxidative enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) activity and lipid oxidation in porcine Longissimus dorsi muscle. Activities of antioxidative enzymes (AOE) decreased slightly during storage, regardless of storage temperatures. Muscle antioxidative enzymes activities stored at $4^{\circ}C$ were higher than that stored at $20^{\circ}C$. Laiwu pig's enzymes activities were significantly (p<0.01) higher than Large White's. The level of malondialdehyde is a direct expression of the grade of lipid oxidation in meat. In our study, the malondialdehyde contents increased after 6 days storage. However, malondialdehyde contents of Laiwu pig were significantly (p<0.01) lower than Large White's. A lower content of malondialdehyde corresponds to a lower oxidation of lipids. These results indicated the muscle antioxidative ability of Laiwu pig was higher than Large White pig. It also implied that antioxidative enzymes were involved in the essentials and deciding mechanisms of meat quality by quenching oxygen free radicals and inhibiting lipid oxidation in muscle.

Hizikia fusiformis hydroysates by five carbohydrases (Viscozyme, Celluclast, Termamyl and Ultraflo) and five proteases (Protamex, Kojizyme, Neutrase, Flavourzyme and Alcalase) were investigated for their extraction efficacy (yield and total total polyphenolic content) and antioxidative activity (DPPH radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity). Termamyl and Ultraflo of the carbohydrases and Flavourzyme and Alcalase of proteases were selected by their high eficacy of extraction and antioxidative activity. Selected enzymes were used to investigate the optimum enzymatic reaction time and dosage (enzyme/substrate ratio) suitable for hydorolysis. Optimum reaction time for the enzymatic hydrolysis was 3 days and optimum dosage of hydrolysis was observed as 5%. Simultaneously, Ultraflo of the two carbohydrases and Alcalse of the two proteases were selected as the most effective enzymes. Combination of Ultraflo and Alcalase under optimum hydrolysis conditions could intensify the extraction efficacy of antioxidative materials form H. fusiformis. The hydrolysate obtained by combining the enzymes was separated into four different molecular weight fractions (<1kD, 1-10 kD, 10-30 kD and >30 kD) and recorded the polyphenolic content distribution and respective antioxidative ability. The fraction <1kD was identified as less effective and those fractions > 1kD indicated comparatively higher antioxidative activities related to their polyphenolic content.

Normally, aerobic cells are protected from the damage of free radicals by antioxidative enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) peroxidase and GSH-S-transferase. In this study, we have investigate the effect of egg yolk protein hydrolysates on antioxidative activity and the activity of antioxidative enzyme in cultured hepatocytes (Chang). Without the pretreatment with hydrolysate, about 50% of the hepatocytes were killed within 2h by 225$\mu$M tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). By contrast, fewer than 20% of the 5 K hydrolysate (permeate from 5 kDa membrane and not passed through 1 kDa membrane)-pretreated hepatocytes were killed by the same concentrations of t-BHP. In addition, the activities of catalase, GSH peroxidase and GSH-transferase were significantly increasing with the treatment of 5 K hydrolysate. These results suggest that 5 K hydrolysate exerts antioxidative effect by increasing activity of antioxidative enzymes.

This study attempted to confirm the antioxidative potential of luteolin against tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) induced oxidative damage and to investigate its molecular mechanism related to glutathione (GSH)-dependent enzymes in HepG2 cells. Treatment with luteolin resulted in attenuation of t-BHP induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress-mediated cell death. In addition, accelerated expression of GSH-dependent antioxidative enzymes, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR), and heme oxygenase (HO)-1, as well as strengthened GSH content was induced by treatment with luteolin, which was in accordance with increased nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor for phase 2 enzymes, in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that the cytoprotective potential of luteolin against oxidative damage can be attributed to fortified GSH-mediated antioxidative pathway and HO-1 expression through regulation of Nrf2 in HepG2 cells.

This study investigated the relations between the photosynthetic rate and the activities of antioxidatile enzymes, glutathione reductase, ascorbate free radical reductase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase, and ascorbate oxidase, in the leaves of Panax ginseng. Under the normal cultivation condition, Panax in showed lower g1utathione reductase and ascorbate free radical reductase activities the Glycine max. But P ginseng showed higher 91utathione Peroxidase, ascorbate Peroxidase, and ascorbate oxidase activities than C. Panax. Therefore, P. ginseng showed weak activities of reductases for the reduction of the oxidized antioxidants. Under the light intensity of 25 KLux, the reductases showed a decrease of over 75% after 24 hours. But the peroyoxidases decreased about 40%. These results showed that the decrease of reductases acitivities was consistent with the decrease of photosynthetic rate. Therefore, we consider that the regulation of antioxidative enzymes or the application of exogenous antioxidants will be effective means for the protection of photodamage in p. ginseng.

자리공 모상근에서 광처리에 따른 항산화효소의 활성을 조사하였다. Catalasa superoxide dismutasae, ascorbate oxidase (AO)의 활성은 광도가 2,000 lx까지 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 특히 AO활성은 2,000 lx에서 암상태보다 92% 감소하였다. Glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase (GPO), ascorbate peroxidase 그리고 peroxidase의 활성도는 500 lx까지는 광도가 높아질수록 증가하였으나 그 이상의 높은 광도에서는 현저하게 감소하였다. GPO의 활성은 AO처럼 2,000 lx에서 암상태보다 85%감소하였다. 광파장에 따른 항산화효소의 활성은 청색광의 파장에서 가장 많이 억제되었으며, AO의 활성은 25%까지 감소하였다. 청색광 파장의 광도에 따른 항산화효소의 활성도는 30 lx까지는 증가하다가 200 lx에서는 암상태보다 21-71%까지 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. AO의 활성은 청색 파장의 광도(300-200 lx)가 증가할수록 급격히 감소하여 200 lx에서는 70%까지 억제되었다. 자리공 모상근의 항산화효소 활성은 청색광 파장의 높은 광도에서 주로 생성된 유해산소 의하여 억제되고 있음을 확인하였다. 광상태하에서 모상근의 생장과 betalain 합성을 향상시키기 위해서는 모상근에서 생성되는 산화제의 효율적인 제거가 요구됨이 시사되었다.

To evaluate the antioxidative effect of maengjong-juk (Phyllostachys pubescens) extract coated rice in vivo system, maengjong-juk extract coated rice diets were fed to C57BL/6 mice for 16 weeks. Plasma total antioxidative capacity, hepatic lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, activities of antioxidative enzymes and total glutathione content were measured. Plasma total antioxidative capacity was elevated significantly in maengjong-juk extract diets supplemented group in a dose dependant manner. Hepatic TBARS contents were significantly decreased in maengjong-juk extract diets supplemented group compared to high cholesterol group. Maengjong-juk extract coated rice diets suppressed the protein oxidation significantly in liver. Activities of hepatic antioxidative enzymes such as total SOD, CuㆍZn-SOD, Mn-SOD, GSH-Px and catalase activities of maengjong-juk extract coated rice diets were significantly higher than those of high cholesterol diet. Total hepatic glutathione content was significantly increased by maengjong-juk extract coated rice diets administration. According to this study, numerous antioxidative materials and phytochemicals containing in maengjong-juk extracts appear to protect antioxidative systems in C57BL/6 mice fed bamboo extract coated rice diet.

We investigated the effects of vitamin E supplementation on lipid peroxidation and on the activities of antioxidative enzymes in kidney of KK mice of various age and duration of diabetes. Weaned KK mice were fed high fat a diet containing 20% corn oil(wt/wt), and were sacrificed at 4, 6, and 9 months of age. The high vitamin E diet consisted of the high fat diet supplemented with an excessive amount of dl-$\alpha$-tocopheryl acetate (2080 IU/kg diet) . In the diabetic groups, we found an increase in lipofuscin and decrease in antioxidative enzyme activities with aging. Treatment with vitamin E did not modify the level of fasting blood glucose. However, a significant decrease in lipofuscin and increase in antioxidative enzyme acitvities were observed in diabetic mice.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin E supplementation on the lipid peroxidation and activities of antioxidative enzymes in the pancreas of diabetic KK mice. KK mice were fed high ft diet containing 20% corn oil(wt/wt), and sacrificed at 2 months of diabetes. A hish vitamin E diet consisted of the high fat diet supplemented with an excessive amount of 이-$\alpha$-tocopheryl acetate (2080IU/kg diet). The incidence of diabetes mellitus was 61% when mice were fed the high fat diet, but was 44% when mice were fed the high vitamin E diet, Vitamin E supplementation fhus seems to have the effect of decreasing of decreasing the onset of diaetes. In the diabetic group, we found increases of MDA (malondialdehyde) and antioxidative enzyme activities. Treatment with vitamin E did not modify the level of fasting blood glucose. However, MDA and antiosicative enzyme activities in diabetic mice were decreased by the high vitamin E diet. Increased levels of lipid peroxidation products suggests the occurrence of oxidative damage in the pancreas of diabetic mice. The increased level of antiosicative enzyme activities could be due to an adaptive response to conditions of increased peroxidative stress. Significant normalization on catalase activity was noted in vitamin E supplemented animals.

In order to examine the cross-tolerance of two chilling-tolerant cultivars (Donganbyeo and Heukhyangbyeo) and two chilling-susceptible cultivars (Hyangmibyeo and Taekbaekbyeo) to salt, paraquat, and drought, changes of physiological response and antioxidant enzymes were investigated. The seedlings were grown in a growth chamber until the 4-leaf stage. The seedlings were exposed to chilling at $5^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. For drought treatment, the seedlings were subjected to drought by withholding water from plants for 5 days. For paraquat study, plants were sprayed with $300{\mu}M$ paraquat. For the salt stress, the seedlings were transferred to the Hoagland's nutrient solution containing 0.6% (w/v) NaCl for 4 days. Chilling-tolerant cultivars showed cross-tolerant to other stresses, salt, paraquat, and drought in physiological parameters, such as leaf injury, chlorophyll a fluorescence, and lipid peroxidation. The baseline levels of antioxidative enzyme activities, catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POX) activities in chilling-tolerant cultivars were higher than in the chilling-susceptible cultivars. However, there were no differences in ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities between chilling-tolerant and -susceptible cultivars in untreated control. CAT activity in chilling-tolerant cultivars was higher than that in chilling-susceptible cultivars during chilling, salt, and drought treatments, but not during paraquat treatment. However, other antioxidative enzymes, APX, POX, and GR activities showed no significant differences between chilling-tolerant and -susceptible cultivars during chilling, salt, paraquat, and drought treatments. Thus, it was assumed that CAT contribute to cross-tolerance mechanism of chilling, salt, and drought in rice plants.
