The methanol extracts of some marine algae were tested for investigating the effects on the formation of lipid peroxide and the activities of free radical generating enzyme in vitro in bromobenzene-treated rat. The extracts of Enteromorpha compressa, Capsosiphon fulvescens, Gelidium amansii, Hizikia fusiformis, Sargassum siliquastrum and Sargassum thunbergii which decreased the formation of lipid peroxide, inhibited the activity of xanthine and aldehyde oxidases by adding of each extracts. Phloroglucinol isolated from Ecklonia stolonifera reduced bromobenzene-induced hepatic lipid peroxidation. This compound administered daily over one week before intoxication with bromobenzene did not affect the activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase, aniline hydroxylase and glu tathione S-transferase. Epoxide hydrolase activity was decreased by bromobenzene, which was restored by pretreatment of phloroglucinol, The results suggest that the bromobenzene-induced hepatic lipid peroxidation by phloroglucinol is reduced by enhancing the activity of epoxide hydrolase.

Objective : This is the experimental paper to investigate the effects of Gami-oryungsan(GO) on decreasing the activities of free radicals. Methods : We used three different group; In the normal group, we injected Gami-oryungsan extract intraperitoneally daily for 15days(90mg/kg), bromobenzene(310mg/kg) for 2days and injected normal saline in the control group. Results : We have observed the effects of Gami-oryungsan about the damage of rat's liver induced by bromobenzene. We can find the level of lipid peroxidation and type conversion ratio of xanthine oxidase decreased compared to the case of bromobenzene-treated group. The enzyme of activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase highly increased in Gami-oryungsan pre-acupunctured group compared to the group treated with only bromobenzene. The level of glutathione in Gami-oryungsan pre-acupunctured group was increased as highly as normal group. Also it was not seen special effects concerning aldehyde oxidase. Conclusions : Gami-oryungsan extract recovers the damage of liver due to bromobenzene intoxication by decreasing the lipid peroxidation.

Objective : To investigate the hepatoprotective effects of Gami-oryungsan on the liver damage induced by bromobenzene. Method : The development of fibrosis and acute liver injury was examined by the chemical analysis of AST, AL T, ${\gamma}$-GTP . and epoxide hydrolase glutathione S-transferase glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity, lipidoperoxide levels, glutathione levels were measured and oberved. Results : The increasing levels of lipidoperoxide was decreased proportionally according to dose of extract GO. Epoxide hydrolase glutathioneS-transferase glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity highly increased in GO pre-acupunctured group compared with the group treated with only bromobenzene. The increase of serum AST, AL T, ${\gamma}$-GTP enzyme activity of mice by bromobenzene was inhibited by the administration of GO. Lipidoperoxide levels in rat's liver decreased compared to the case of bromobenzene-treated group. The levels of Glutathione decreased by bromo benzene were increased highly in GO pre-acupunctured group. Conclusion : These results suggest that GO extract recovers the damage of liver due to bromobenzene intoxication by decreasing the lipid peroxidation AST AL T ${\gamma}$-GTP enzyme activity and increasing epoxide hydrolase glutathioneS-transferase glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity, glutathione levels.

멸치액젓의 용매분획을 $50^{\circ}C$에서 10일동안 항온실험한 경우 각 용매분획의 건조중량 10 ${\mu}g$ 또는 20 ${\mu}g$이 5 mg의 linoleic acid의 자동산화를 저해하는 것으로 나타났으며, 용매분획 중 부탄올분획 및 수용액분획이 염분을 함유하고 있었고 염분의 함량은 각각 12.2% 및 21.1%이었다. 흰쥐에게 간장독성을 유발시킨다고 알려진 bromobenzene을 주사하고 간조직을 분리하여 in vitro에서 멸치액젓이 간균질액의 지질과산화물 생성에 미치는 효과를 관찰한 결과, 모든 용매분획들이 3 mg/mL 또는 1 mg/mL 농도에서 지질과산화물 생성을 강하게 감소시켰으며 수용액분획의 경우 0.3 mg/mL 농도에서도 활성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 간조직의 지질과산화반응에 관여하는 것으로 알려진 효소들 중 aniline hydroxylase, aminopyrine N-demethylase, xanthine oxidase 및 aldehyde oxidase 활성에 대한 멸치액젓의 효과를 관찰한 결과, 간세포 마이크로솜 분획에 존재하는 aniline hydroxylase 및 aminopyrine N-demethylase의 활성을 모든 용매분획이 저해하였다. 즉, 3 mg/mL 농도에서는 거의 정상쥐의 효소활성 수준까지 회복시켰고, 0.3 mg/mL의 농도에서도 유의적인 효과가 나타났으나 세포질 효소인 xanthine oxidase 및 aldehyde oxidase의 활성에 대하여는 저해효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과로부터, bromobenzene-유도 간지질의 과산화물 생성과정에 있어서 멸치액젓의 항산화물질들은 free radical을 포획하여 지질과산화물 생성을 억제하는 것이 아니라 epoxide생성단계를 저해하여 과산화지질 생성을 억제하는 것으로 사료된다.

Effects of Houttuynia cordata on the level of lipid peroxide and the enzyme activities of the liver were investigated in bromobenzene-induced rats. Lipid peroxide content in liver was increased by bromobenzene. It was decreased when the methanol extract from the aerial parts of H. cordata was treated to the rat. The methanol extract reduced the activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase that increased by bromobenzene, however did not affect glutathione S-transferase activity. The methanol extract recovered the activity of epoxide hydrolase activity that decreased significantly by bromobenzene. We suggest that under our experimental conditions the extract might play an important play in the prevention of hepatotoxicity by reduction of aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase activities as well as enhancement of epoxide hydrolase activity. Six phenolic compounds have been isolated from H. cordata and identified by means of spectral analysis as protocatechuic acid, quercetin, apigenin, afzelin, hyperoside and quercitrin.

Three flavonoid glycosides have been isolated from the aerial part of Armoracia rusticana P. (Cruciferae) in Korea and identified by means of spectral analysis as $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-xylofuranoside(l)$, $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside(2)$ and $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-xylofuranosyl(1\rightarrow2)-b{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside(3)$. When 1 mg/ml of the methanol extract from the aerial part of this plant was added, lipid peroxide formation in the bromobenzene-treated rat liver decreased by 64%. Among the components isolated from title plant, compounds 2 and 3 reduced the formation of lipid peroxide by 16% and 39% respectively at the concentration of ${10}^{-1}$ mg/ml.

Sea-urchins (Anthocidaris crassispina) are widely distributed in the East Sea of Korea. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of sea-urchin roe on bromobenzene (BB)-induced liver damage in rats. The antioxidative and detoxifying properties of sea-urchin roe in BB-poisoned rat liver was examined by chemical analysis of serum aminotransferase (AST, ALT), glutathione S-transferase (GST), $\gamma$-glutamylcystein synthetase, glutathione reductase, epoxide hydrolase, amino-N-demethylase (AD), aniline hydrolase (AH) enzyme activity, as well as lipid peroxide and glutathione contents. Sea-urchin roe inhibited the increase of serum AST, ALT enzyme activity. Increasing lipid peroxide contents and AD and AH activities were significantly decreased in ethanol extract of sea-urchin roe. GST, $\gamma$-glutamylcystein synthetase, glutathione reductase and epoxide hydrolase enzyme activities increased in sea-urchin roe-fed group, compared with the BB-treated group. These results suggest that sea-urchin roe facilitates recovery from liver damage by enhancing antioxidative defense mechanisms and hepatic detoxication metabolism.
