The present study was investigated to elucidate the effects of chlorambucil the heart tissue of various-aged rats. The male rats ranging from 3 to 36 months were used. The cytochemical and biochemical changes in myocardium of the rats were studied in the aspect of free radical roles in aging process. With the goals of evaluating the potential roles of free radicals in aging process, evidence was shought for alterations of myocardial lipid peroxide levels in control and chlorambucil treated rats. The result are summarized as follows: 1. Cytochemical studies showed that the activities of $Mg^{++}$-ATPase and succinic dehydrogenase increased with age. However, these enzyme activities were decreased with treatment of chlorambucil, when compared with control group. Interestingly it was observed that chlorambucil treatment increased the activity of acid phosphatase from 6 months upto 18 months, and decreased after 18 months. 2. The lipid peroxide level in myocatdium was increased with age; chlorambucil-treated group was higher than that of control group. 3. Age-dependent increase in activities of monoamine oxidase, xanthine oxidase and catalase was observed. But the increase of catalase activity was higher than that of monoamine oxidase and xanthine oxidase activity in control group. However, in chlorambucil-treated group, age-dependent decrease of these enzyme activities was observed, and catalase activity was more significant particularly with regard to other enzymes. In consequently, the morphological alterationsof myocardium due to chlorambucil treatment was exclusively observed. We demonstrate that this alteration is occured by lipid peroxidation upon chlorambucil treatment.

The effects of total dietary restriction(100% restriction of energy intake) on thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS) contents and intracellular antioxidant enzymes activities in the liver and kidney of young male Sprague Dawley rats were studied. The TBARS contents were reduced in both liver and kidney, up to 77% and 79% of the control rats, fed ad libitum, respectively at 7 days after dietary restriction . Superoxide dismutase(SOD) activities in the liver and kidney of rats were increased significantly by total dietary restriction. However, the activity of catalase in kidney was decreased 27% at 6 days after dietary restriction, but this enzyme activity did not change in liver. The changes of glutathione peroxidae(GSHPx) and catalase activities in the liver and kidney of rats with dietary restriction were not significant. These result suggested that dietary restriction reduce the free radical induced by tissue damage, as determined by TBARS content, in both the liver and kidney but the changes of activities of antioxidant enzymes may not be a contributory factor in reducing oxidative damage to tissue.

The hot water and mathanol extracts of Artemisia argyi showed considerable cytotoxicities against H9(ATCC HTB 176) cancer cell with IC50 values of $48.6{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ and $51.9{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, respectively. These cytotoxicities were found to be dependent on the extract concentrations and culture days. CuZnSOD and MnSOD activities were significantly increased in the cytoplasm and mitochondria fractions of cancer cell, and media in the presence of Artemisia argyi. Such enhanced SOD activities were generally in the range of two to threefolds. In contrast to SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities were not detected at all. These results suggest that Artemisia argyi have generated $O_2^-$ in the mitochondria and cytoplasm of H9 cancer cell with concurrent induction of CuZnSOD and MnSOD in situ, which dismutate $O_2^-{\}to{\;}H_2O_2$. Without coordinated actions of catalase and/or glutathione peroxidase $H_2O_2$ is easily converted to very toxic OH and these reactive oxygen species together might have induced necrosis and/or apoptosis of H9 cell.

Methanol extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Labiatae) root was investigated to research the anti-oxidative activity, by using a Caenorhabditis elegans model system. The methanol extract of this plant showed significant DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide quenching activities. Ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the methanol extract that showed the most potent DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide quenching activities. The ethyl acetate fraction was tested on its activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and oxidative stress tolerance in C. elegans. Furthermore, in order to see if regulation of stress-response genes is responsible for the increased stress tolerance of the ethyl acetate fraction treated C. elegans, we checked SOD-3 expression using a transgenic strain. Consequently, the ethyl acetate fraction of S. miltiorrhiza root increased the catalase and SOD activities in a dose-dependent manner in C. elegans. Besides, the ethyl acetate fraction-treated CF1553 worms showed higher SOD-3::GFP intensity than the non-treated ones.

Five different types of catalases from photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum S1 grown aerobically in the dark were found in this study, and designated Catl (350 kDa), Cat2 (323 kDa), Cat3 (266 kDa), Cat4 (246 kDa), and Cat5 (238 kDa). Analysis of native PAGE revealed that Cat2, Cat3, and Cat4 were also produced in the cells anaerobically grown in the light. It is notable that only Cat2 was expressed much more strongly in response to the anaerobic condition. Enzyme activity staining demonstrated that Cat3 and Cat4 had bifunctional catalase-peroxidase activities, while Catl, Cat2, and Cat5 were typical monofunctional catalases. S1 cells grown aerobically in the presence of malate as the sole source of carbon exhibited an apparent catalase Km value of 10 mM and a Vmax of about 705 U/mg protein at late stationary growth phase. The catalase activity of Sl cells grown in the anaerobic environment exhibited a much lower Vmax of about 109 U/mg protein at late logarithmic growth phase. The catalytic activity was stable in the broad range of temperatures (30$\^{C}$-60$\^{C}$), and pH (6.0-10.0). R. rubrum S1 was much more resistant to H$_2$O$_2$in the stationary growth phase than in the exponential growth phase regardless of growth conditions. Cells of stationary growth phase treated with 15 mM H$_2$O$_2$for 1 h showed 3-fold higher catalase activities than the untreated cells. In addition, L-glutamate induced an 80-fold increase in total catalase activity of R. rubrum S1 compared with magic acid. Through fraction analyses of S1 cells, Cat2, Cat3, Cat4 and Cat5 were found in both cytoplasm and periplasm, while Catl was localized only in the cytoplasm.

This study was undertaken to examine the effect of Cheongahwan(CAH), being known to reinforce Kidney-yang, on the activities of endogenous antioxidant enzymes and the production of oxygen free radicals in the kidney tissues. Alterations in enzyme activities were observed after in vivo treatment in rats. CAH caused a significant increase in the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase. But catalase activity was not significantly altered by CAH. Treatment in vitro of CAH decreased the production of oxygen free radicals in a dose-dependent fashion. These results suggest that CAH stimulate the activities of antioxidant enzymes and inhibit directly the production of oxygen free radicals. These effects of CAH may contribute to prevent the oxygen free radical-induced impairment of cell function.

본 실험은 N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)와 사염화탄소($CCl_4$) 로 유발된 흰쥐의 간암에 대한 인진호탕의 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 먼저 실험군 설정은 세 군으로 분류하였다. 정상군(Nor)에는 일반적인 식이를 공급하였고, 대조군(Con)에는 NDEA(200 mg/kgb.w., i.p.)와 $CCl_4$를 투여하였고, 인진호탕 추출액 투여군(IJH)에는 인진호탕 추출액(260 mg/kg/day)을 8주 동안 투여하였다. Superoxide dismutase (SOD)와 catalase와 같은 항산화계 효소를 측정한 결과, SOD의 활성은 Con군에서 증가하였으나, catalase의 활성은 Con군에서 감소하였다. 면역조직화학적 관찰에서, 인진호탕 추출액의 투여로 인해 Con군에서보다 p53 면역 반응율을 감소시켰다. 전자현미경 관찰의 경우, 간암 세포들은 Con군에서 과립세포질세망의 팽대와 무과립세포질세망의 증가가 뚜렷하게 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 인진호탕 추출액 투여가 NDEA와 사염화탄소로 유도된 흰쥐의 간암을 억제 또는 지연하는 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Ulmi Pumilae cortex extracts on acute reflux esophagitis rats induced by pylorus and forestomach ligation operation. 40 rats were divided into five groups; Normal group, Sham group, Control group, T1 group and T2 group. 4 groups has a laparotomy after controled 2weeks and sham group, T1 group, T2 group has ligation in stomach. After laparotomy, all group`s body weight, gastric volume, gastric juice PH, SOD activities, catalase activities, lipid peroxidation, total glutathione, the effects on esophageal and stomach mucosa damage were checked. There was significant statistical differences between control group and Ulmi Pumilae cortex extracts adminitration groups(T1 and T2 group) in terms of gastric volume decreasing. Also, adminitration groups has significant effect than control group in decreasing mucosa damage. SOD(superoxide dismutase) and catalase activities has a significant statistical differences between control group and T2 group not in T1 group. These results suggest that the medication of Ulmi Pumilae cortex extracts is effective for the treatment of acute reflux esophagitis in terms of decerasing gastric volume and mucosa damage. Especially, the results were shown to be more positive in High-dose administration group (T2 group) than in Low-dose administration group (T1 group) in SOD and catalase activities.

인삼성분과 카페인 함유제품을 마우스에 섭취시켜 4주간사육한 후, 마우스 신장 조직에서 Superoxide dismutase, Catalase, Hydroperoxide 등의 항산화 활성 및 조직학적 변화를 비교 검토하였다. 유영능력은 모든 실험군에서 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나 무수카페인 실험군만은 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Superoxide dismutase 및 Catalase 활성은 카페인함유 실험군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으나, 인삼성분함유 실험군에서는 활성도가 높게 나타났다. Hydroperoxide 함량은 모든 실험군에서 유의적인 증가를 보이지 않았으나 인삼성분함유 실험군은 대조군과 비슷한 함량을, 카페인함유 실험군은 대체로 증가하는 경향이었다. 과산화 지질 수준 및 단백질 함량 변화는 인삼성분 실험군은 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있게 증가하지 않았으나 카페인 함유제품 실험군은 유의성 있는 증가를 보였다. 신장 조직학적 변화는 인삼성분 및 카페인 함유 실험군에서 크나큰 조직적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 각 실험군과 실험방법에 따라 차이는 있겠으나 본 실험에 있어서는 인삼성분 함유제품이 카페인 함유제품보다 신장 조직의 항산화활성능력이 다소 증가하는 것으로 생각된다.
