The potential for enhancing myocardial protection by adding high-energy phosphate to cardioplegic solutions [St. Thomas Hospital solution] was investigated in a rat heart model of cardiopulmonary bypass and ischemic arrest. Creatine phosphate was evaluated as an additive to the St. Thomas Hospital cardioplegic solution. Creatine phosphate 10.0 mmol/L as the optimal concentration which improved recovery of aortic flow and cardiac output after a 30 minute period of normothermic [37oC] ischemic arrest. In comparing mechanical function in both groups the mean postischemic recoveries of aortic flow, cardiac output, stroke volume and stroke work [expressed as a percentage of its preischemic control] were significantly greater in STH-CP group than in CP- free control group. In addition to improving function and decreasing CK release, CP reduced reperfusion arrhythmias significantly decreasing the time between cross-clamp removal and return to regular rhythm from 81.8 * 13.9 [sec] in CP-free group to 35.9 * 6.8 [sec] in CP group [P< 0.05] so, exogenous CP exerts potent protective and antiarrhythmic effects when added to the St. Thomas Hospital cardioplegic solution. However, the mechanism of action remains to be elucidated.

The author investigated the effect of $Mg^#$, $Ca^#$, $Na^+$, $K^+$ and creatine phosphate on the ATPase activity of microsomal fraction isolated from rabbit uterus and obtained the following results : 1) The uterine microsomal fraction contained the $Na^+-$ and $K^+-$ activated ATPase in the presence of $Mg^#$. The ATPase activity increased with protein content in the fraction. 2) The maximum ATPase activity was obtained at $Na^+$ and $K^+$ concentraction of 100 mM respectively. 3) In the absence of $Mg^#$, the ATPase was not activated by $Na^+$ and $K^+$, but inhibited. 4) Car stimulated the $Na^+-$ and $K^+-$ activated ATPase in the presence of $Mg^#$. However, in the absence of $Mg^#$, the ATPase was not activated by $Ca^#$. 5) The $K^+-$ activated ATPase activity was greater than the $Na^+-activated$ ATPase under all conditions. 6) The $Na^+-$ and $K^+$ activated ATPase activity was increased by addition of creatine phosphokinase and creatine phosphate to the reaction mixture.

To predict the influence of carbon monoxide poisonining on cerebral energy metabolism, rats were exposed to 5000 ppm environment for 30 minutes. Carboxyhemoglobin (HBCO) saturation rate in this condition was 72% equally in male and female rats. Cerebral cortex in the rats showed lower level of ATP, glucose, creatine phosphate and higher level of lactate, pyruvate by anaerobic glycolysis. As for the levels of ATP, creatine phsphate and glucose, the cerebral cortex contents of them were larger in female rats of estrus than in male rats, whereas there was no difference between sexes in the levels of pyruvate and lactate. According to time passage from CO intoxication, the mode of changes in cerebral energy metabolite contents was similar in both sexes.

The effect of Ginseng on global myocardial ischemia and reperfusion was examined in isolated perfused rat hearts. The Ginseng ethanol extract (100mg/kg/day) was administered orally for 10 days. The rat hearts were removed and perfused at 75cm $H_{2}O$ by the Langendorff method. After 25 min. of global ischemia, the hearts were reperfused. The myocardial contents of adenosine 5'-triphosphate, creatine phosphate, and calcium were assayed. There no differences in ATP levels in all group of normal and Ginseng-treated hearts. Both in non-ischemic and ischemic heart, Ginseng increased significantly tissue creatine phosphate levels compared with control. Whereas, in ischemic-reperfused heart, there was no significant difference. In the control groups, myocardial calcium contents in the ischemic hearts were decreased compared with the non-ischemic hearts. But, in the Ginseng-treated groups, the calcium contents in the ischemic herts were not changed with the nonischemic hearts. Therefore, Ginseng appears to exert its protective effect against ischemic heart condition, not against ischemic-reperfused heart condition, by regulating energy metabolism and maintaing cellular function.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the lipid peroxidation, creatine kinase activity and cortisol hormone levels following the training intensity in elite judo players. Six elite Judo players participated in the experiments (3h repetition judo program), which include stretching, judo skill practice and cool down without recess. Blood sampling were taken at the judo gymnasium at the time of resting, 1h training, 2h training, 3h training, 2h recovery, and 24h recovery time and this were analyzed for CK, MDA and Cortisol levels. The results obtained were analyzed via repeated measures of ANOVA using SPSS package program (ver.10.0) and a value of p<.05 was considered statistically significant. The results from this study were as follows. In the CK levels, which reflect the contribution of creatine phosphate and muscle damage degree, there was a significant difference (p<.05) after judo training in every period. Recovery 24h showed the highest level. In the MDA levels, which reflect lipid peroxidation, there was a significant difference (p<.05) after judo training. Recovery 2h showed the lowest level. In the cortisol hormone levels, which reflect stress status, there was a significant difference (p<.05). In this study, we can conclude that For the trained athletes, MDA level was lower at the time of exercise compare to the other period, this is caused by the increased antioxidant defence mechanism.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of ginseng saponins on the cerebral energy metabolite's contents influenced by carbon monoxide(CO) intoxication. Each experimental group was divided young ($5{\sim}8$ weeks) and aged ($43{\sim}52$ weeks) rats, and they were exposed at 5,000 ppm CO (72%HbCO) for 30 min. One of the other groups was pretreated with ginseng saponins for 5 days before CO intoxication. The contents of cerebral energy metabolites in cerebral cortex, stratum and hypothalamus were measured. In cerebral cortex of both young and aged rats, the levels of ATP and creatine phosphate were significantly decreased, while those of lactate were significantly increased. There was no difference between the levels of cerebral energy metabolites of young and aged rats. Pretreatment of ginseng saponins before CO intoxication lowered decrease of the levels of cerebral energy metabolites and ATP levels were significantly recovered. On the other hands, contents of lactate in stratum and hypothalamus of young rats were significantly increased and the levels of ATP and creatine phosphate in stratum and hypothalamus were completely recovered at 2 weeks after CO intoxication. The results suggest that ginseng saponins have an ameliorating action against disturbance of the cerebral energy metabolites by CO intoxication.

The simultaneous determination of creatine monohydrate (CrM), dicyandiamide and dihydrotriazine in dietary supplements using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. Chromatography was performed on a Nuclosil 100-5 SA ($4.6{\times}250mm$) column with a mobile phase of 2.3% ammonium phosphate (pH 5.5), and UV detection at 224 nm, 212 nm, and 237 nm, respectively. The performance characteristics of HPLC were determined in terms of selectivity, linearity, precision, recovery, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ). The calibration curves were linear within the concentration range of $40.0{\sim}500.0{\mu}g/mL$ for creatine, $0.1{\sim}12.8{\mu}g/mL$ for dicyandiamide, and $0.05{\sim}6.4{\mu}g/mL$ for dihydrotriazine. The detection limits of the method were 1.09, 0.01, and $0.08{\mu}g/mL$ for creatine, dicyandiamide, and dihydrotriazine, respectively. The recoveries of creatine, dicyandiamide, and dihydrotriazine were 97.2~100.9, 92.3~106.5, and 97.2~105.5%, respectively. It is expected that the chromatographic analytical method developed in this study will be usefully applicable to simultaneous determination of creatine, dicyandiamide, and dihydrotriazine contained in dietary supplements.

We studied the effect of eicosanoids on the content of energy metabolites and the intrasynaptosomal $Ca^{++}([Ca^{++}]_i)$ concentration in cerebral ischemic rats. An ischemic model was made by bilateral carotid artery ligation (BCAL) and by incubation of synaptosomes under aglycemic and $N_2$ gas bubbling condition. The content of ATP, creatine phosphate and glucose decreased at 15 minutes after BCAL while that of lactate increased in male Wistar rats. Oral administration of EPA(100 mg/ml/Kg/day) or DHA(16 mg/ml/Kg/day) for 6 weeks improved both the decreases and the increase of the cerebral energy metabolites. In addition, the increase of $[Ca^{++}]_i$, under BACL was suppressed by EPA or DHA treatment. When the both Wistar rats and SHR were administered orally with EPA or DHA for 6 weeks, the effect on the increase of $[Ca^{++}]_i$ under ischemia by $N_2$ gas bubbling were protected. From these results, it may be that EPA or DHA treatment were greatly contributed to preservation of ischemic cerebral energy metabolism and $Ca^{++}$ concentration.

Creatine(Cr) and phosphocreatine(PCr), the important mediators of intracellular high-energy phosphate buffer system, were found in the tissues of mouse seminal vesicle and also in the extracellular fluids of seminal vesicle secretion. This study was performed m confirm that the secretion and accumulation of Cr and PCr is regulated by testosterone and its $5{\alpha}$-reduced metabolite, $5{\alpha}$-dihydrotestosterone(DHT). In addition, the effect of nandrolone decanoate(ND), a synthetic anabolic steroid, on the levels of Cr and PCr in the seminal vesicle was compared with those of testosterone propionate(TP) and DHT. Male Swiss-Webster mice were castrated and three groups of the castrates were treated with daily injection(sc) of same molar dose($1.45{\times}10^{-8}mol/g\;BW$) of TP, DHT, or ND. All three androgens rapidly increased weights of seminal vesicle tissue and fluid, and also increased concentrations of Cr and PCr in the tissue and fluid. However, ND was least effective in increasing seminal vesicle weights, whereas ND was as effective as, or in some cases, more effective than, TP or DHT in increasing Cr and PCr levels in the tissue and fluid. The results confirm that the accumulation of Cr and PCr in the seminal vesicles is regulated by testosterone and DHT, and also suggest that the effects of androgens on seminal vesicle growth and secretory activity may be differentiated.

심근정지용액의 조성이 심근정지 및 심근정지 후 회복기의 에너지원에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 guinea pig 심실 균질액에서 adenosine triphosphate (ATP), creatine phosphate (CP) 및 lactic acid (LA)의 변화를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) ATP 및 CP 양은 심근정지동안은 감소하고 회복기에는 다시 증가하였으며, 심근정지 후 정상용액으로 30분간 회복시켰을 때에는 ATP 양의 회복이 CP에 비해 느린것을 알 수 있었다. 2) LA 양은 심근정지동안은 증가하고 회복기에는 다시 감소하였다. 3) 심근정지 후 회복시간을 길게할수록 ATP 및 CP 양의 회복은 증가하였으며 CP 양이 더 많이 회복되었다. 4) LA 양도 회복시간을 길게할수록 감소하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 심근정지용액의 $Ca^{2+}$ 및 $K^{+}$ 농도는 심근정지후 회복시 심근세포의 에너지원인 ATP, CP 및 lactic acid 양에 영향을 미친다고 생각된다. 이 연구 결과를 토대로 심근세포내 $Na^{+}$과 $H^{+}$ 활성도 변화 및 심근세포의 산증(acidosis)에 관한 연구를 첨가하면 심근정지시의 심근보호기전을 규명하는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
