To develop antioxidant substances in plant, phenolic compounds in Bangah (Igodon japonicus, Hara) and antioxidative effects of cell extracts were investigated. Defatted samples of Bangah were extracted with acetone/methanol and the extracts were fractionated Into the free and bound types of phenolics. The equal amounts of fractions were dissolved In soybean oil and autoxidized at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 25 days. Peroxide value and TBA values were determined every 5 days during oxidation. Changes of peroxide and TBA values showed antioxidant effects, which were lower than control during the oxidation periods. The effects of cell extracts were evaluated as high as BHT, 0.02 ppm. The antioxidative effect of insoluble-bound phenolic extract was higher than that of free. The contents of phenolic compounds in insoluble-bound fraction were also higher than free fraction.

This study was carried to investigate the antioxidative effect of ethanol extract of Arctium lappa(Al) root in Streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by intravenous injection of STZ at a dose of 45mg/kg.body wight(b.w) dissolved in citrate buffer. The ethanol extract of Al root was orally administrated once a day for 7 days at a dose of 1,000mg/kg.b.w. The contents of malondialdehyde(MDA) and activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) were significantly decreased(p<0.05) in Al treated group compared to the those of STZ-control group. The content of glutathione(GSH) and activity of glutathione-s-transferase(GST) was significantly increased(p<0.05). These results indicated that ethanol extract of Al root would have antioxidative effect in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of lecithin on lipid metabolism and antixidative capacity in 9-week-old rats. Forty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 249.8 g were blocked into three groups according to their body weight and raised for 8 weeks with experimental diets containing 1% (LM) or 5% lecithin (LH) and control (C) diet. Plasma and liver total lipids, triglyceride, total cholesterol and plasma HDL-cholesterol concenterations, and fecal total lipids, triglyceride, total cholesterol and bile acid excretions were measured. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in plasma, liver, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in red blood cell and liver, xanthine oxidase (XO) activities in plasma and liver, and total antioxidant status (TAS) in plasma were also measured. Effect of lecithin intake on antioxidative capacity was not significantly different among all the groups. Plasma total lipids, triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were lower in lecithin groups compared to control group, and these three lipid levels of lecithin groups were lowered dose-dependently as dietary lecithin level increased. But liver total lipids, triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were not different among all the groups. Also fecal total lipids, triglyceride and total cholesterol excretions were highest in high lecithin groups compared to two other groups. Thus it is plausible that lecithin intake decreases plasma lipid levels through increasing fecal lipid excretions, and may be beneficial for treatment and prevention of hyperlipidemia, but has no effect on antioxidative capacity.

This study was done to investigate the effect of ${\gamma}$ irradiated beef feeding on antioxidant vitamin levels and defense enzyme activities in diethylnitrosamine(DEN) initiated rats. Weaning Sprague Dawley male rats were fed the diet containing ${\gamma}$ irradiated ground beef at the dose 0, 3, 5 kGy as a 20% of protein source for 8 weeks. One week after feeding, rats were intraperitoneally injected twice with a dose of DEN(50mg/kg BW). As a promoter, 0.05% phenobarbital was fed in drinking water from one week after DEN treatment until the end of experiment. At the end of 8th week, serum level of vitamin C, serum and hepatic levels of retinol and tocopherol were determined. In addition, activities of cytosolic glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S transferase, catalase and hepatic superoxide dismutase(SOD) were measured. By ${\gamma}$ irradiation, there was no significant effect on serum and hepatic levels of vitamin C and tocopherol except a significant decreasing effect on hepatic retinol level. There was also no significant effect on the activities of enzymes involved in antioxidative defense system, However, DEN treatment led to a significant increase in activities of glutathione reductase and glutathione S transferase while the activity of glutathione peroxidase was decreased. The activities of hepatic SOD and catalase were not changed by DEN treatment. Overall results indicate that the consumption of low dose of ${\gamma}$ irradiated beef does not affect antioxidative defense system.

This study was done to evaluate the dermatoxicity of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and the protective effect of Rubus parvifolius L. (RP) extract on cytotoxicity of ZnSO4, mordant in cultured SK-MEL-3 cells. For this study, it was done an antioxidative effect as DPPH-radical scavenging ability as well as the diminutive ability of total melanin with cell viability. ZnSO4 significantly decreased cell viability in dose-dependently, and it was mid-toxic. The ascorbic acid significantly increased cell viability damaged by ZnSO4-induced cytotoxicity. In the protective effect of RP extract on ZnSO4-induced cytotoxicity, RP extract significantly increased cell viability compared with ZnSO4-treated group, and also it showed both the DPPH-radical scavenging ability and the decrease of total amount of melanin. From these findings, the cytotoxicity of ZnSO4 is correlated with oxidative stress, and also RP extract effectively protected ZnSO4-induced cytotoxicity via antioxidative effect such as DPPH-radical scavenging ability with the whitening effect by the decrement of total amount of melanin. Conclusively, the natural ingredients like RP extract may be a useful agent for the improvement of antioxidative and whitening effects

The effective extraction of antioxidative substances from soybean was investigated by using various solvents, such as water, ethanol, methanol, acetone, chloroform, benzene, ethyl acetate, ether, dichloromethane, and hexane. Extraction was performed by cold method at $30^{\circ}C$ and by reflux method at $85^{\circ}C$. The antioxidative effect of the extracts was determined by peroxide value during the oxidation of soybean oil containing the extracts at $105^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours, and also by TBARS(thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) formed during the peroxidation of egg lecithin liposomes. The antioxidant activity of the extracts from raw soybean was higher than that from defatted soybean. The antioxidant activity of the extracts by reflux method was higher than that by cold method. The methanol extract from defatted and roasted soybean(DRS) showed the highest antioxidative effect against oxidation of soybean oil, while the water extract from DRS in egg lecithin liposomes. In the peroxidation of egg lecithin liposomes, the antioxidative effect of polar solvents extracts were higher than those by nonpolar solvents extracts.

Soybean oil and lard containing different level (0.02, 0.1, 1%) of methionine, lysine and some antioxi-dants (TBHQ, a-tocopherol) were stored at 60$^{\circ}C$ and heated at 180$^{\circ}C$ to compare their antioxidative effects. Peroxide values (POV) and acid values (AV) of each oil were monitored. Methionine and Iysine showed antioxidative effects in all concentration and the higher concentration, the higher effect. In case of incubating antioxidative effect of methionine was similer to that of TBHQ and that of lysine was considerably higher than that of a-tocopherol, but was lower than that of methionine. In case of heating the antioxidative effects of methionine and lysine were showed higher than those of THHQ and u-tocopherol. Methionine and lysine also had higher antioxidative effects in animal fat than in vegetable oil. Synergistic effects among methionine, Lysine and some food antioxidants were shown to be available in all substrates and the best effect was shown in substrate added com-pound of methionine and a-tocopherol.

The biological effects of the water extracts of Rhus Verniciflua Stokes (RVS) were evaluated by protection against hydroxyl radicals. Antioxidative activities were measured using both 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and thiocyanate method. Also we used the Glucose oxidase (GO) 20 mU/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$ hydroxyl radical generating system in mouse forebrain cell culture. Water was used for ex-traction from RVS as a solvent which has high polarity especially. In DPPH method, the antioxidative activities of the crude water extract were stronger than any other extracts of low polar-solvents. In the antioxidative effects of mouse forebrain culture using 20 mU/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$ GO, cell viabilities were evaluated 65.6%, 68.8% at 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$. 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$ addition of crude water extracts (30 mg/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$) respectively. 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$ addition of crude water extracts had more than 86.1% cell viabilities, P<0.0l significantly, compared with the group treated with GO alone. In comparison with the antioxidative activities of several commercial antioxidants (ascorbic acid, $\alpha$-tocopherol, catalase, serum), 273 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$ addition of crude water extracts (300 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$) showed equivalent antioxidative effect to 25 uM ascorbic acid.

The total phenolic contents and antioxidative activities of the ethanol and methanol extracts from 9 Korean medicinal herbs were tested for the application of skin care products such as soaf and lotion. For the evaluation of antioxidative activity of the extract the method of electron donating ability with resolution reagent DPPH(1 ,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) and TBARS (Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) value were used in comparison with α-tocopherol and BHA. As the results, the total phenolic contents of the extracts calculated as chlorogenic acid were ranged from 0.063-0.124 mg/ml. All the medicinal plant extracts showed some appreciable antioxidative effects. Among them, Zanthoxylum piperitum, Cinnamomum cassia and Caesalpinia sappan were shown to have relatively high antioxidative effects comparable with BHA and α-tocopherol..
