In continuation of the previous work (The New Medical Journal, Vol. 12, No. 3, 111, 1969), the effects on the bactericidal activity against coli form group, on vitamin C content and ascorbate oxidase activity of the purple laver due to the $^{80}Co$ gamma-irradiation were studied. The results obtained are ; 1) After the 0.1m rad./hr. doses treatment of gamma-irradiation for 1 hours to the laver, the coli form group was being remarkably destoryed and after the application for 10 hours the coli form group was completely destroyed. 2) The content of vitamin C was gradually decreased during the gamma-irradiation to the laver. According to the sensory test, no changes in flavor nad color were indicated for 9-10 hours treatment. But, the loss of ascorbic was much than that of dehydroascorbic acid after 10-hour treatment. 3) And also, the ascorbate oxidase activity due to the irradiation waas conspicuously decreased.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) sprouts are a vegetable commonly used as a functional food material due to its high vitamin C concentration and antioxidant activity. In this experiment, we measured the changes in the antioxidant activity of several barley cultivars as well as in the concentrations of related compounds such as ascorbate and glutathione upon treatment with UV-B or salicylic acid (SA). The six barely cultivars were grown in a plant growth chamber (25/$18^{\circ}C$, 14/10 h, 200 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-1}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 70% relative humidity) for 10 days. All barely cultivars showed different 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activities, which were increased by UV-B treatment and not by SA treatment. The changes in ascorbate concentrations were correlated with DPPH scavenging activity in both the treatments, suggesting that the antioxidant activity in barley sprouts was mainly dependent on ascorbate concentration. Furthermore, changes in ascorbate concentration showed similar tendencies to changes in free sugar concentration, especially glucose and sucrose, in both treatments. On the other hand, the concentrations of glutathione and cysteine highly increased by SA treatment, representing different tendencies compared to the DPPH scavenging activity and ascorbate concentration. 'Donghanchal' cultivar showed comparatively higher antioxidant activity, both constitutively and inducingly by UV-B treatment, with its higher concentrations of ascorbate and glutathione. These results suggest that barley sprouts could be used as a health-functional vegetable, contributing to the overall supply of antioxidant and sulfur-containing organic compounds.

The ROS-producing potency of chromium compounds of several oxidation states were determined in the H4 cells. $K_2Cr_2O_7$ as Cr (VI), synthetic Cr (V) compounds and Cr (III) as TPP produced high level of ROS. However, ROS values of Cr-picolinate as Cr (III), CrCl$_2$, CrCI$_2$, were almost equal to the control. The effects of physiological antioxidants compounds which react with free radicals were examined for their effects on chromate-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in A549 cells after the addition of $K_2Cr_2O_7$. The compounds used were vitamin C (ascorbate), vitamin E ($\alpha$-tocopherol), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. The preincubation of ascorbate (200uM) with A549 cells for 20hr resulted in a significant reduction of hexavalent chromate(100uM) induced ROS. However, there is no effects of preincubation of the cells with vitamin E succinate (10 and 20uM, 20hr) on the ROS production. Also, the effects of Cr (VI) on the cell cycle of A549 cells was measured by adding the DNA intercalating agent, propidium iodide. S phase of the cell cycle was increased by the chromium (VI) compounds up to 20uM indicating toxicity or possible mitogenic action of the cell. The shoulder in Go/G1 phase at 20uM Cr (VI) with 24 hr treatment indicates apoptosis.

An acute ethanol load(50mmol/kg , i.p) resulted in an increase in peroxidation and a decrease in the levels of $\alpha$-tocopherol and ascorbate in rat cerebellum. Pretreatement with allopurinol(146$\mu$mol/kg, i.p) prevented the ethnol-induced increment in lipid peroxidation and decrease in $\alpha$-tocopherol content. However, the decrease of ascorbate was of greater magnitude when allopurinol was associated with ethanol. These results suggested that allopurinol. besides its action as a radical scavenger and xanthine oxidase inhibitor, might favor the regeneration of $\alpha$-tocopherol antioxidant acitviity was studied using ${\gamma}$-radiolysis in aerated ethanolic solutions. Even though allopurinol did not react by itself with $\alpha$-hydroxyethyl-peroxyl radicals [H3C-CH(OH)OO] , it enhance the $\alpha$-hydroxyethyl-peroxyl radical scavenging properties of $\alpha$tocopherol. The regeneration of $\alpha$-tocopherol from the $\alpha$-hydroxyethyl-peroxyl radical scavenging properties of $\alpha$-tocophero. The regeneration of $\alpha$-tocopherol from the $\alpha$-tocopherol radical by ascorbate remained as efficient in the presence of allopurinol as in its absence. The effects of allopurinol on the Vitamin E oxidation-reduction mechanism could be involoved in the beneficial effectof allopurinol on the biological cellular damages linked to free radical reactions.

Adipose tissue development and function play a critical role in the regulation of energy balance, lipid metabolism, and the pathophysiology of metabolic syndromes. Although the effect of zinc ascorbate supplementation in diabetes or glycemic control is known in humans, the underlying mechanism is not well described. Here, we investigated the effect of a zinc-chelated vitamin C (ZnC) compound on the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Treatment with ZnC for 8 d significantly promoted adipogenesis, which was characterized by increased glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and intracellular lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. Meanwhile, ZnC induced a pronounced up-regulation of the expression of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) and the adipocyte-specific gene adipocyte protein 2 (aP2). Analysis of mRNA and protein levels further showed that ZnC increased the sequential expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/$EBP{\alpha}$), the key transcription factors of adipogenesis. These results indicate that ZnC could promote adipogenesis through $PPAR{\gamma}$ and C/$EBP{\alpha}$, which act synergistically for the expression of aP2 and GLUT4, leading to the generation of insulin-responsive adipocytes and can thereby be useful as a novel therapeutic agent for the management of diabetes and related metabolic disorders.

녹차 폴리페놀과 비타민 C가 2형 당뇨병에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 고지방식이와 저용량 스트렙토조토신을 이용하여 당뇨병이 유도된 흰쥐에 polyphenon 60(P60)과 sodium ascorbate(SA)를 16주간 투여한 후 공복 혈당, 혈장 인슐린, 혈청 중성지질, BUN 및 creatinine과 신장 GGT와 AP 활성도를 측정하였다. 당뇨병 흰쥐에 P60이나 SA 투여로 인한 식이섭취량과 체중의 변화는 없었다. 공복 혈당은 당뇨 대조군(DC 군)에서 대조군(NC 군)의 5배로 증가하였으며, 당뇨+녹차 폴리페놀(DM+P60) 군은 14%, 당뇨+녹차 폴리페놀+비타민 C(DM+P60+SA) 군은 28%가 DC 군보다 감소하였고, 당뇨+비타민 C(DM+SA) 군은 DC 군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈장 인슐린 양은 각 실험군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없으며, 인슐린 저항성 지수 HOMA-IR은 DC 군에서 증가하였고 DM+P60+SA 군은 DC 군보다 감소하였다. 혈청 creatinine 양은 DC 군에서 증가하였고 DM+P60 군은 DC 군보다 17% 감소하였으며, DM+P60+SA 군은 DC 군보다 43% 감소하였다. 혈청 BUN 양은 DC 군에서 증가하였고 DM+P60+SA 군은 DC 군보다 41% 감소하였다. 신장 GGT와 AP 활성도는 DC 군에서 감소하였고 DM+P60+SA 군은 DC 군보다 감소가 적었으며, DM+SA 군은 DC 군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이상의 실험 결과 2형 당뇨병에서 녹차 폴리페놀과 비타민 C 복합 투여가 혈당, 인슐린 저항성 및 혈청 중성지질량 개선 및 신장 손상 방지효과가 녹차 폴리페놀이나 비타민 C를 단독으로 투여하였을 때보다 더 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 녹차 폴리페놀과 비타민 C의 혈당 상승 억제와 신장 손상 방지 효과에 대한 계속된 연구가 필요하며, 녹차 폴리페놀과 비타민 C는 당뇨병 환자에게 혈당을 조절하고 신장 손상을 방지하는 기능성 식품 제재로서 개발 가능성이 있는 것으로 생각한다.

The effects of cooking method, cooking time and various food ingredients on the formation/ inhibition of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) in pork products were investigated. Three HAAs, 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoxaline ($MeIQ_x$), 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoxaline ($DiMeIQ_x$) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo [4,5-b] pyridine (PhIP) were measured in pork products using solid-phase extraction and HPLC. Pork patties were boiled, oven-broiled and pan-fried to internal temperatures of 71, 77 and $88^{\circ}C$. Generally, HAA concentrations increased with increasing internal temperature, and HAA formation was greatest with pan-fried. Selected food ingredients (vitamin E, sodium nitrite, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium ascorbate, Nanking cherry tissue and cherry tissue extract) inhibited HAA formation in pork patties fried at $225^{\circ}C$ for 10 min/side, with the greater inhibition provided by cherry tissue and its methanolic extract.
