The increased deposition of extracellular matrix by hepatic stellate cells following liver injury in a process known as activation is considered a key mechanism for increased collagen content of liver during the development of liver fibrosis. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of an aqueous extract from the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC (Campanulaceae), Changkil (CK), on hepatic fibrosis in hepatic stellate cells. We report that CK reduces the accumulation of collagen in acetaldehyde-induced hepatic stellate cells. (omitted)

Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) and the derived myofibroblasts are known to play a central role in liver fibrogenesis. Rhus verniciflua Strokes (RVS) has traditionally been used in Korea herbal medicine for a stomachic tonic. In this study, we observed the effect of RVS acetone extract (Ra) and its five major components on the proliferation, the collagen synthesis, and hepatic fibrosis related proteins mRNA levels in HSC-T6 cells which is a fully activated rat hepatic stellate cell line. Ra inhibited the proliferation and decreased the content of collagen in the HSC-T6 cells. (omitted)

Thermal measurements were made for connective tissues of 5 different fish muscles by using a differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), and connective tissues between muscle fibers and the cross sections of muscle fibers were observed by a light microscope. Red sea bream(cultured and wild) and flounder(cultured, cultured with obosan and wild) were used in this study. It was found that the connective tissues of cultured and frozen fish muscle required less endothermic enthalpy and the endothermic peak temperature was lower than those of wild and fresh ones when they were shrunken and denatured. Therefore, it is likely that the former are more unstable to heat than the latter. The cultured flounder fed with obosan and wild flounder which contained more collagen than cultured flounder and the wild red sea bream showed clear connective tissues between fibers. The cross-section of cultured fish muscle fiber was larger than that of wild one. From these results, collagen content and thermal properties of collagen, cross section of muscle fibers seemed to contribute to the textural difference between wild and cultured fish.

The induction of proliferation of adult rat islets was investigated under various culture conditions. The islets were isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats and subsequently embedded in collagen gels, which mimic the in vivo three-dimensional surroundings. During the culture period, the effects of heterologous serum (fetal bovine serum, FBS), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and retinoic acid (RA) on islet growth were examined with respect to the morphological and total DNA content changes. To investigate these changes at the cellular level, whole mount immunocytochemistry using specific antibodies for insulin and glucagon was performed. The results showed that (i) collagen gels as an extracellular matrix can maintain islets in a similar way to that in vivo, (ii) heterologous serum (FBS) had stimulatory effects on islet proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, (iii) RA had inhibitory effects on islet proliferation induced by the serum in a dose-dependent manner, (iv) EGF had weak inhibitory effects on islet proliferation induced by the serum except at the concentration of 10 nM where its effect was not significant, and (v) whole mount immunocytochemistry revealed that newly proliferated islet cells were mainly $\beta$-and $\alpha$-cells.

Insulin-dependent or Type 1 diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has been associated with an increased severity of periodontal disease. Since periodontal ligament (PDL) cells play a significant role in maintenance and regeneration of mineralized tissue, the success of procedures, such as guided tissue regeneration, is directly related to the ability of these cells to augment mineralized tissue. In this study, we investigated the time- and dose-dependent effect of high glucose on the proliferation and collagen synthesis of human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells. PDL cells were treated with high glucose (22mM, 33mM, 44mM) for 1 or 2 days. High glucose significantly inhibited proliferation of PDL cells as a time- and dose-dependent manner as evidenced by MTT assay. PDL cells were cultured in high glucose media (22mM, 33mM, 44mM) for 24 h. The ratio of collagen content to total protein was evaluated, and the gene expression of type I collagen was assessed by RT - PCR. The high concentration of glucose inhibited collagen synthesis, a marker of bone formation activity. This study indicated high glucose concentration could alter the metabolism of periodontal ligament cell, leading to alveolar bone destruction.

The effects of slaughter age (28, 32, or 38 mon) on the proximate composition, collagen content, fatty acid composition, amino acid content, and mineral contents of horse leg bone (femur and tibia) extracts (HLBE) obtained from Jeju crossbred horses (n=14) in Korea. HLBE was extracted for 24 h with boiling water. At those ages, the respective proximate compositions of the HLBE were found as follows: 5.20-6.42% crude protein; fat 0.61-1.65% crude; and 0.10-0.22% crude ash. At 32 and 38 mon, the HLBE showed higher levels of both crude protein and collagen than at 28 mon. The major fatty acids of the horse leg bone extract powder (HLBP) were palmitic acid and oleic acid. Palmitoleic acid and the essential fatty acids were higher in the HLBP at 38 mon compared to that at 28 mon. Nearly all the amino acids were found at higher levels in the HLBP at 38 mon than at 28 mon, except histidine. The P, K, Zn, Se and Fe contents in the HLBP increased significantly with age. These results suggest that some nutrients in the HLBE increase with age, and that extracts from horses older than 32 mon would be more nutritious for human consumers.

The objective of this study was to characterize the meat quality traits that affect the texture and savory taste of Ufipa indigenous chickens by comparing the proximate composition, physical characteristics, collagen, and nucleic acid contents with those of commercial broilers. It was found that Ufipa chicken breast and thigh meat had a higher protein content (p<0.05) than broiler chicken meat, whereas the fat content was lower (p<0.01). The moisture content of thigh meat was lower in Ufipa chicken meat than in broiler chicken meat (p<0.05). Regarding meat color, broiler chickens had considerably higher L^* and b^* than Ufipa chickens in both the breast and the thigh meat, except for a^* (p<0.01). Regarding water holding capacity, Ufipa chicken breast exhibited higher drip loss but lower thawing and cooking losses than broiler chicken (p<0.01). In contrast, its thigh meat had a much lower drip and thawing losses but higher cooking losses (p<0.01). The shear force of Ufipa chickens' breasts and thighs was higher than that of broiler chickens (p<0.05), while the amount of total collagen in the thigh meat was higher than that of broiler chickens (p<0.05). Additionally, the inosine-5'-monophosphate (IMP) of Ufipa chicken breast and thigh meat was higher than that of broiler meat (p<0.05). The principal component analysis of meat quality traits provides a correlation between the proximate and physical-chemical prosperties of both breeds with some contrast. In conclusion, the present study provides information on healthy food with good-tasting Ufipa indigenous chickens, which offer a promising market due to consumers' preferences.

본 연구에서는 비타민 C의 배양세포 증식을 촉진하는 기능을 세포 간 결합조직의 주성분인 콜라겐 생합성에 초점을 맞추어 3T6 세포주 및 흰쥐에서 분리한 초대 연골세포를 이용하여, 세포 및 세포 외액 중의 콜라겐 함량의 분석과 콜라겐 생합성에 미치는 비타민 C의 영향을 각 농도별로 분석하여 콜라겐 생합성에 필요한 비타민 C의 적합한 첨가 농도를 검토하였다. 비타민 C를 1.0 mM 농도가 되도록 첨가하여 3T6 섬유아세포 및 초대연골 세포를 배양하였을때 양 세포 모두 콜라겐 양은 비타민 C를 첨가한 세포가 높은 수치를 나타내어 비타민 C에 의한 콜라겐 합성의 촉진효과가 현저하였으며 일수의 증가에 따라 그 합성량도 증가하였다. 비타민 C 무첨가의 경우 세포층의 콜라겐 합성량을 3T6 섬유아세포와 연골세포를 비교하였을 때 3T6 섬유아세포의 경우 배양일수의 경과와 더불어 콜라겐 양이 증가하였으나 연골세포의 경우 1일째부터 21일째까지 콜라겐양은 거의 변화하지 않아, 본 실험에 사용한 연골세포는 초대 배양세포로서 세포외로부터 비타민 C의 공급이 되지 않을 경우콜라겐 합성은 일어나지 않는 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 배양세포의 콜라겐 합성에 미치는 비타민 C의 영향을 검토하기 위하여 초대연골세포를 이용하여 비타민 C의 농도를 변화시켜 가면서 콜라겐 합성량을 측정하였다. 5 mM, 7 mM, 10 mM의 고농도의 비타민 C를 첨가한 경우 저 농도의 비타민 C 첨가 경우보다 plate 내의 총 콜라겐 함량은 적었다. 그러나 DNA 양에 대한콜라겐 함량을 비교하였을 때 5mM 이상의 비타민 C 첨가에서는 콜라겐 합성 증가량이 조금 낮은 경향을 보였으나, $0.1\~2mM$을 첨가하였을 때의 콜라겐 양과 최종적으로는 거의 비슷한 수치를 나타내었다. 0.5 mM 이상의 비타민 C 첨가는 콜라겐 합성을 저해한다는 기존의 보고와는 달리 본 연구에서는 세포독성을 억제할 목적으로 배지 중에 catalase 첨가하였으며, 그 결과 $0.1\~10mM$의 비타민 C 농도범위에서는 콜라겐 합성량에 차이가 크게 없는 것으로 나타나, $0.1\~10mM$의 비타민 C 농도로는 catalase를 첨가한 배지를 사용할 경우 세포내의 콜라겐 양에 대한 비타민 C 첨가농도별 차이는 크게 없는 것으로 추측된다.

A study was conducted to compare the quality characteristics among commercial broiler, Wangchoo (imported dual purpose breed) and Korean native chicken(KNC). Thigh and breast meat of the broiler(7-wk old), Wangchoo(15-wk old), and Korean native chicken(15-wk old) stored for 24 h at 5t were used to analyze chemical composition, physico-chemical characteristics, textural traits and sensory evaluation test. Crude fat and moisture contents in broiler meat and crude protein content in KNC were significantly(P<.05) higher than those in the other breeds regardless of parts of the body. Total collagen content in broiler meat was significantly higher than those of the other breeds, however, the heat-soluble and the acid-soluble collagen content in Wangchoo were significantly lower than those of the other breeds. Water-holding capacities of KNC in breast meat, and of broiler in leg meat were significantly higher than that of the other breeds, while the results of the water-holding capacity and the cooking loss were reversed. Myofibrillar fragmentation index in broiler meat was significantly higher than that in the other breeds regardless of body parts. Hardness, elasticity and cohesiveness in Wangchoo were significantly higher than those in the other breeds. The prominent fatty acids were oleic, palmitic and linoleic acids and run up to 79.03~83.82 %, regardless of breeds and parts. The sensory evaluation score of tenderness, taste and preference in Wangchoo were lower compared to the broiler and KNC, however, they were not significantly different between broiler and KNC. In conclusion, the quality characteristics of KNC were excellent compared to Wangchoo.
