In order to examine that what kind of system correlated with cadmium detoxification mechanism in Klebsiella aerogenes ATCC 10031, we tried to investigate the effect of phosphate upon the detoxification and also elucidate whether the cadmium phosphate and/or polymeric Cd-Pi complex is formed actually in cell or not. As the results, it was shown that growing pattern had long lag adaptive phase of 12 hr to 24 hr, at the concentrations of 0.02 mM and 0.08 mM cadmium, respectively. Cadmium was accumulated more highly in the fraction of cell wall and membrane than in those of cytoplasm. In case of phosphate starving cells added cadmium, inorganic polyphosphate system was primarily correlated with Cd-detoxification during the lag phase for the accommodation to cadmium, on the other hand, Cd:Sulfide complex system secondarily correlated it during the stationary phase. These results implied that polyphosphate system and Cd:sulfide complex system, these two systems were operated compensatively each other. Considering the results obsdrved with EM and examined tha changes of sulfide and polyphosphate amount, it was reflected that Cd:S complex was located at the cell surface. In the results of $in-vivo^{31}$P NMR spectra in the cells with cadmium pressure, several phosphate signals arose newly from the polyphosphate region with moving chemical shift of it. This phinomenon strongly implied the actual existence of Dd:Pi comples and /or Cd:poly-P complex in the cell and also the cellular compartmentalization of cadmium detoxifying mechanism.

Rhizopus oryzae의 카드뮴 적응 및 해독기작과 이에 관련된 세포내 생리 생화학적 변화를 조사하였다. R. oryzae는 카드뮴 첨가농도가 증가함에 따라 거의 비례적으로 잠복기가 길어졌다. 카드뮴의 해독에 관련하는 system은 카드뮴 첨가 배양시에만 적응기 중에 특이하게 유도, 생성되어져 카드뮴 결합단백질의 성격을 지닐 것으로 추정되는 2종류의 단백질과 동일한 시기, 조건하에서 유의하게 증가되는 무기인산중합체 pool에 의하여 1차적으로 운용되어질 것으로 사료되며, 2차적, 보완적 system은 ACPase의 derepression 그리고 phosphatidyl serine의 합성증가 등의 방법을 통하여 운용될 것으로 생각된다. 또한 총지질화합물의 조성변화 등과 같은 다양한 생리 생화학적 물질대사 경로의 변화를 일으켰다. 이러한 변화의 총화로 크게는 형태적 변화까지 일어나 카드뮴 적응 및 해독에 필요한 성장형태로서 여러 가지 산물 생성에 유리한 dispersed filamentous type을 취하였다.

The aim of this study was to investigate if dietary Chlorella vulgaris(chlorella) intake would be effective on cadmium(Cd) detoxification in rats fed dietary Cd. Fourteen-week old male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats weighing $415.0{\pm}1.6\;g$ were randomly divided into two groups and fed slightly modified American Institute of Nutrition-93 Growing(AIN-93G) diet without(n=10) or with(n=40) dietary Cd(200 ppm) for 8 weeks. To confirm alteration by dietary Cd intake, twenty rats fed AIN-93G diet without(n=10) and with(n=10) dietary Cd were sacrificed and compared. Other thirty rats were randomly blocked into three groups and fed slightly modified AIN-93G diets replacing 0 (n=10), 5 (n=10) or 10% (n=10) chlorella of total kg diet for 4 weeks. Daily food intake, body weight change, body weight gain/calorie intake, organ weight (liver, spleen, and kidney), perirenal fat pad and epididymal fat pad weights were measured. To examine Cd detoxification, urinary Cd excretion and metallothonein (MT) concentrations in kidney and intestine were measured. Food intake, calorie intake, body weight change, body weight gain/calorie intake, organ weight and fat pad weights were decreased by dietary Cd intake. Urinary Cd excretion and MT concentrations in kidney and small intestine were increased by dietary Cd. After given Cd containing diet, food intake, calorie intake, body weight change, body weight gain/calorie intake, organ weights and fat pad weights were not influenced by dietary chlorella intake. Renal MT synthesis tended to be higher in a dose-dependent manner, but not significantly. And chlorella intake did not significantly facilitate renal and intestinal MT synthesis and urinary Cd excretion. These findings suggest that, after stopping cadmium supply, chlorella supplementation, regardless of its percentage, might not improve cadmium detoxification from the body in growing rats.

돼지고기 섭취가 카드뮴에 중독된 쥐의 대사에 어떻게 영향을 주는가를 규명하고자 이 연구를 수행하였다. 카드뮴(0, 25, 50, 100, 250 ppm)을 사료에 섞어 8주 동안 급여하여 일단 중독을 유발시킨 후 또 다시 8주 동안 돼지고기에 의한 해독 효과를 대조구와 비교하였다. 8주 동안 카드뮴 중독용 실험 식이를 급여한 결과, 카드뮴 중독 현상이 나타났다. 해독기간 중 돼지고기를 급여한 경우 체중 회복이 빠른 경향을 보였으나 유의적 차이는 없었다. 해독에 의해 헤모글로빈과 헤마토크릿은 완전히 정상치와 같은 수준으로 향상되었다. 체중 100g당 간의 무게는 250 ppm 카드뮴 중독 후 해독시 돼지고기를 섭취한 처리구에서 가장 높게 나왔다 카제인을 섭취한 처리군보다 돼지고기를 섭취한 처리군에서 카드뮴의 축적이 더 낮게 나타났으며 특히 신장에서의 카드뮴 축적 농도에 영향을 미치는 인자로서 카드뮴뿐만 아니라 카드뮴과 돼지고기 섭취 여부의 교호작용$(Cd^{***},\;Cd^*\;Pork^{**})$등이 나타났다. 해독시 metallothionein(MT) 합성은 돼지고기에 의해 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 보여졌다.

In order to investigate the effect of Korean green tea, oolong tea and black tea beverage on the antioxidative detoxification in cadmium(Cd) poisoned rat liver, male Sprague-Dawley rat weighing 143$\pm$3.2g were divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental groups were fed standard diet containing 40ppm Cd and were given distilled water(CD), 5% black tea(BT), oolong tea(OT) and green tea(GT), respectively. Tea beverages were extracted from 5G dry leaves of teas in 100ml hot distilled water by the treatment at 85$^{\circ}C$ for 3 min. Liver xanthine oxidase(XOD) activity was increased by the administration of Cd except GT group. Liver superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-px), glutathione S-transferase(GST) activities were decreased by te administration of Cd but did not decreased by the administration of green tea(in GT group). Vitamin E and reduced glutathione contents were significantly decreased in Cd administered groups. Liver lipid peroxide value in Cd administered groups were increased compared to control group, but was not increased in GT group. Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(GOT) activities in CD, OT, BT groups were higher than control, but that in GT group was similar to control group. Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(GPT) activity was not significantly different among various groups. It was concluded that green tea might alleviate peroxidative damage in Cd-administered rat liver by reinforcing antioxidative detoxification system.

To examine the possibility of biomonitoring of heavy metal removal ability and soil, a study was performed to investigate the heavy metal removal ability and metal-binding protein (MBP) as detoxification process using Oenanthe stolonifera. After O. stolonifera was exposed to individuals (cadmium, zinc) and mixture (cadmium+zinc)for 4 days, removal rate of heavy metal and pH in the treatment medium was measured. MBP was assayed by means of ion exchange column chromatography. The exposure to mixture (Cd:76.8%, Zn:75%) rather than individuals (Cd:82.9%, Zn:90.4%) showed a synergism raising the toxic effect. Initial removal rate was different for each heavy metal : in case of exposure to cadmium it was over 60% on day 1, while for zinc it was 75~90% on day 4. Throughout the experimental period, pH value of treatment medium continuously decreased, since cortex in the roots may secret organic acid to adjust and prevent toxicity of metals. The existence or MBP in the 70~80 fraction and the presence of Zn-enzyme pool was ascertained with the column chromatography. This study demonstrated a possibility that heavy utilized as a biomarker of heavy metal pollution.

The aim of this study was to develop antitoxic compound for cadmium-induced cytotoxic Vero cells. These cells were divided into five groups; control group (medium only), cadmium group (cadmium only), and two experimental groups. SRB (sulphorodamine B) assay was performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of cell organelles. After cadmium was treated on Vero cells, we determined IC50 values to examine the detoxification effects of Houttuynia cordata methanol extract and quercetin under cadmium-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, morphological changes were observed by the light microscope. In Vero cells, methanol extract of Houttuynia cordata, and quercetin showed inhibitory effects on cadmium-induced cytotoxicity and these detoxification effects were increased in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest that methanol extract and quercetin from Houttuynia cordata retain a potential antitoxic activity.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of Korean native plant diets on lipid and cadmium (Cd) metabolisms and also antioxidative enzyme activities in rats. Seventy male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 210.3$\pm$2.7g were blocked into ten groups according to body weight. Rats were raised for four weeks with diets containing 0 or 0.04%(w/w) cadmium chloride and 5%(w/w) plant powder-Ssook(Artemisia princeps var. orientalis HARA), Chamchwi(Aster scaber THUNB), Gomchwi(Lingularia fischeri TUBCZ). or Solbeerum (Portulaca oleracea LINNE). Food intake, weight gain, food efficiency ratio, and weights of liver, kidney, spleen and epididymal fat were significantly lower in Cd-exposed groups, food efficiency ratio, and weights of liver, kidney, spleen and epididymal fat were significanlty lower in Cd-exposed groups. Plasma total lipid level, liver total lipid, cholesterol and triglycerde concentrations, and fecal total lipid, cholesterol and triglyceride excretions were decreased by Cd administration. Total lipid and triglyceride concentration in plasma and liver were lower in Chamchwi groups together with increased fecal total lipid and triglyceride excretions. Cholesterol concentration in plasma and liver were lower in Gomchwi groups with increased fecal cholesterol excretions. Activities of red-blood-cell superoxide dismutase(SOD), and liver catalase, SOD and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) were decreased significantly by Cd administration. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS) concentrations of plasma and liver were increased by Cd administration. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS) concentration of plasma and liver were increased by Cd administration. Administration of plant diets decreased plasma and liver catalase, SOD and GSH-px activities in Cd-free diet groups and increased them in Cd-administered groups. Plasma and liver TBARS concentrations were decreased in animals fed plant diets, with Chamchwi showing the most effective antioxidative capacity. The concentration of Cd accumulated in blood and tissue decreased in Cd-exposed groups fed plant diets. Liver Cd concentration were lower in the Chamchwi and Gomchwi groups, and kidney Cd levels were lower in the Ssook and Chamchwi groups. Among them, Chamchwi was the most effective in Cd detoxification. In conclusion, Chamchwi and Gomchwi were effective in lowering tissue lipid levels, with Chamchwi having the greatest antioxidative and detoxifying effects.

The effects of the methanol subfraction from Pueraria Radix on hydrogen peroxide-induced lipid peroxidation and cadmium-induced cytotoxicity were investigated in NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells. After the methanol subfraction treatment, the content of MDA induced by 600 ${\mu}g$ $H_2O_2$ significantly decreased in proportion to the subfraction concentrations as well as 50 ${\mu}M$ $CdCl_2$-induced cytotoxicity. Especially, 200 ${\mu}g/mL$ concentration of methanol subfraction was strongly shown inhibition of lipid peroxidation and detoxification of cadmium. These results suggest that the methanol subfraction from Pueraria Radix retains a potential antioxidant and protective effect against cadmium.
