The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidative effects of Sea tangle powder(STP) solvent extracts as well as Maejakgwa made with STP. The STP solvent extracts were added to soybean oil at a quantity of 0.05%. The solvents used for extraction were methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether. Soybean oil without added STP was used as a negative control, and soybean oil samples containing 0.02% butylated hydroxy toluene(BHT) and $\alpha$-tocopherol were used as positive control, respectively. Each sample was stored at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The oxidation levels of these samples were determined by measuring their acid values, peroxide values, and thiobarbituric acid(TBA) values. The soybean oil samples containing the STP extracts had lower oxidation levels than both the negative control and $\alpha$-tocopherol positive control, and the sample containing the 0.05% methanol extracts had the lowest oxidation. According to the Rancimat method, the methanol extract(320 min) and ethanol extract(316 min) demonstrated longer induction periods as, compared to the control(253 min), $\alpha$-tocopherol(255 min), and BHT(309 min) samples. For the Maejakgwa, acid values increased over the storage period, however, the samples made with STP had lower values than the control group. Peroxide values increased rapidly for 30 days and then decreased. The TBA values of the Maejakgwa samples made with 3% and 9% STP were lower than those of the 15% STP sample and the control. In conclusion, the oxidative stability of soybean oil containing solvent extracts of STP and Maejakgwa made with STP were increased.

This study was carried out to extract the natural antioxidants from Bovine bile and to investigate their effects on various antioxidant activities. It also characterized the patterns of antioxidants by GC/FID and GC/MS. The antioxidative activities and chemical structure of the antioxidant were elucidated by examining the effects of biological activity and the analysis of GC/MS. The antioxidant materials extracted from bovine bile were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography and TLC. It was confirmed that there were effects of antioxidants such as Xanthine Oxidase(XO) and Glutathione-S-Transferase(GSH-T) on antioxidative activities. When they were compared with BHT, bile extracts showed the relative effects of 51.2% on the antioxidant activity, the inhibition effects of 48.3% on XO activity, and the synergism effects of 85.7% on the GSH-T activity. According to the results of investigation at neuron cell of mouse, the rate of cell activity in the treatment of 6mM glutathione was 96%, While it in the treatment of 140mg of bile extract was 78%. Based on the TLC analysis of EtOAc extracts from the Bovine bile, the antioxidant activity appeared at $R_f$ value, 0.72. These results suggested that the antioxidant may be coprostan 3-ol.

To enhance beneficial effects of citron fruits, anticancer and antioxidant activities of citron fruits extracts were assessed with or without ascorbic acid. Total phenolic acids and flavonoids of fruits peels and flesh extracts were determined. Fruits peels contained more phenolic acids and flavonoids than those detected in flesh extracts. Scavenging activities of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals and reducing powers were increased depending on the concentration. The antioxidant activities on oxidation of linoleic acid emulsion incubated at $50^{\circ}C$ were increased but the effect was small to that of butylated hydroxy toluene and ascorbic acid. The anti-tumorigenic effect of these compounds were investigated. They were shown to inhibit the in vitro proliferation of four human tumorigenic cell lines, HT-29, MCF-7, DU-145 and HepG2, in a doso-dependent manner. This study demonstrated that the antioxidant and anticancer activities of citron fruits extracts were derived from their phenols and flavonoids.

This study evaluated the acute toxicity induced by oxolinic acid (OA), neomycin-oxytetracycline combination (NEO-OTC) and florfenicol (FF) administered to guppy (Poecilia reticulata) by comparing standard formulations with commercial preparations (COOaqua curinpotion, COOaqua terafinpotion and COOaqua profenpotion, respectively) for ornamental fish at concentrations of 2-4%. NEO-OTC exhibited the highest acute toxicity in guppy, with no difference observed between the pstandard formulation and commercial preparation (LC₅₀ = 126.08 mg/L and 112.44 mg/L, respectively). OA acute toxicity was assessed in the form of sodium salt, with an LC₅₀ of 504.61 mg/L for the standard formulation and a slightly increased toxicity of 316.11 mg/L for the commercial preparation. In contrast, no mortality was observed during the 96-hour exposure period with the standard formulation in the form of oxolinic acid. The acute toxicity of FF was measured to be above 1,000 mg/L for the standard formulation; however, the commercial preparation significantly increased to 158.53 mg/L. These results indicate that toxicity can significantly increase in commercial formulations, especially those with low levels of active ingredients. This is presumed to be attributed to the organic solvents or solubilizing agents present in the commercial preparations, which may enhance toxicity. Additionally, guppy infected with Aeromonas salmonicida were effectively protected against mortality by administering OA, NEO-OTC and FF at concentrations of 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L and 15 mg/L, respectively, for 2 hours and at half the dose for 24 hours. This result indicates that liquid formulations containing low concentrations of antibiotics may partially increase toxicity, but there is no problem in effectively treating diseases in ornamental fish.
