To examine genetic divergences of two endemic Sorex caecutiens subspecies from Korea (S. c. hallamontanus in Korean Jeju Island and S. c. annexus in the mainland Korean Peninsula), we obtained partial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequences (429 bp) and complete cytochrome b sequences (1,140 bp) from the two Korean subspecies, and we compared these sequences to the corresponding sequences of S. caecutiens, obtained from GenBank. We found that Jeju S. c. hallamontanus is one of three clades within S. caecutiens, with an average Jukes-Cantor distance of 1.57% in the COI sequences and the distance of 2.07% and 11 fixed site differences in the cytochrome b sequences, indicating that Jeju S. c. hallamontanus is one endemic subspecies with concordant genetic distinctness, although further analyses with nuclear DNA sequences are necessary to confirm these findings. However, S. c. annexus from the mainland Korean Peninsula was not divergent from S. c. macropygmaeus from northeastern China and adjacent Russia, indicating that S. c. annexus from the mainland Korean Peninsula is another endemic subspecies with only morphological differences, although it is necessary to reexamine the subspecies status of S. c. annexus.

전복은 전복속(Haliotis)에 속하며 전 세계적으로 식품산업에서 중요한 복족류 연체동물이다. 우리나라에는 6개종; 북방전복(Haliotis discus hannai), 둥근전복(Haliotis discus discus), 왕전복(Haliotis madaka), 말전복(Haliotis gigantea), 오분자기(Haliotis diversicolor diversicolor), 마대오분자기(Haliotis diversicolor supertexta)가 보고되어 있다. 이 연구에서는 우리나라 해역에 서식하는 중ㆍ대형 전복과 4종인 북방전복, 둥근전복, 왕전복, 말전복의 유전학적 유연관계를 분석하기 위하여 미토콘드리아의 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) 유전자와 Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) 분석법을 실시 하였다. 본 연구의 결과 COI 유전자 분석과 RAPD 분석을 활용하면 4종의 전복 중 북방전복, 둥근전복, 왕전복을 한 그룹으로 나머지 한 그룹을 말전복으로 구분하는 종 분류는 명확히 구분할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 전복 교잡육종을 이용한 수출용 전복 신종자 개발에 있어 주요 대상종인 전복과 4종에 대한 유전적 근연 관계를 규정함으로써 향후 교잡육종 연구의 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

보구치는 난류성으로 전 세계적으로 널리 분포하며 해양 저층에 주로 서식하는 어종이다. 광양만에 서식하는 보구치의 미토콘드리아 DNA에서 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) 유전자를 발굴하고 해양 어류종에서의 계통유전학적인 위치를 분석하였다. 발굴된 미토콘드리아 DNA 내 605 bp COI 시컨스의 다중배열 결과 광양만 보구치들에서는 높은 염기서열 상동성을 확인하였다 (98~100%). 하지만 광양만 내해와 외해의 어획지점에 따라 염기서열 변이가 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 외해지점의 보구치들에서 COI 내 염기서열 변이가 높게 나타났다(43.2~70.3%). 나아가 13종 어류의 COI 계통유전학적 분석결과 광양만 보구치는 타이완에서 보고된 보구치와 하나의 계통군 (clade)으로 묶이고 진화적 거리는 0.036으로 나타났다. 또한 민어(M. miiuy)와 대두이석태(Pennahia Macrocephalus)에 속한 어종과 진화적 거리가 가까운 것으로 나타났다(0.041~0.048). 본 연구의 결과는 국내산 보구치의 분자 계통유전학적 정보를 제공함으로 연안환경에 따른 어류자원 모니터링 및 종다양성 관리에 주요한 유전적 자료로 활용될 것이다.

Morphological and molecular classifications were attempted in an effort to establish species-specific classifications of three species of the genus Pholis in Korea; these species were subjected to morphological and molecular methodologies using body measurements, RFLP, RAPD, and phylogenetic trees using the nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial 16S and 12S ribosomal DNAs, cytochrome c oxidase I, and cytochrome b. The data demonstrated that the three species of genus Pholis are distinct from each other, both morphologically and genetically.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of green tea catechin o n free radical generation system and peroxidative damage in the liver of streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Spragu-Dawley male rats weighing 150$\pm$10gm were randomly assigned to one normal and three STZ-induced diabetic groups; diabetic groups were classified to catechin free diet(DM-oC group), 0.5% catechin diet(DM-0.5C group) and 1% catechin diet(DM-1C group) according to the levels of dietary catechin supplementation. Diabetes was experimentally induced by intravenous injection of 55mg/kg of body wt of STZ in citrate buffer(pH 4.3) after feeding of three experimental diet for 4 weeks. Animals were sacrificed at the 6th day of diabetic states. Activities of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(GPT) in DM-oC groups were higher than those of the normal group, and those in catechin supplementation group were similar to those of the normal group. Liver lipid peroxide values increased by 153%, 49%, and 27% in Dm-oC, DM-0.5C and DM-0C and Dm-1C but was not significantly different in catechin supplementation groups compared with the normal group, and liver cytochrome $P_{450}$ contents was similar to result of XOD activity. In electron microscopic examination of liver, lysosome was relatively scattered in Dm-oC and Dm-0.5C group and preserved normal shapes in DM-1C group. The present results indicate that STZ-induced diabetic rats are more sensitive to oxidative stress, leading to the acceleration of lipid peroxidation process, but this was reduced by anti-oxidative effect of high level of dietary catechin. It is concluded that dietary catechin serves as powerful antioxidant against lipid peroxidation in diabetic rats.

흰쥐를 실험 대상으로 하여 Treadmill 운동을 실시하여 운동에 의한 심근의 적응과 cytochrome oxidase 활성에 관한 세포화학적 연구 알아보고자 실험을 실시하였다. 실험동물은 SD계 웅성 흰쥐를 이용하여 출생 3개월 정도의 체중 $150{\pm}10g$정도로 실험을 시작하였다. 실험군은 일상 대조군과 운동군 2개군으로 나누고, 각각 1일, 3일, 1주일, 4주일, 8주일 및 12주일 동안 각각 4마리씩 운동시켜 실험에 이용하였다. 형태 계측학적 방법으로 심장의 무게변화, 심근섬유와 모세혈관의 비, 그리고 CO 활성정도를 측정하였다. 광학및 전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 심장무게 변화는 모든 실험군에서 실험기간에 비례하여 증가하였다. 일상 대조군에 비해 운동군에서 유의한 증가를 보였다. 모세혈관과 근섬유 비율은 일상 대조군에서는 유의한 변화가 없었고, 운동군에서는 운동 4주일 이후부터 유의한 증가를 보였다. Cytochrome oxidase C 활성율은 일상 대조군에서는 유의한 변화가 없었고, 운동군에서는 운동 1주일 이후부터 유의한 증가를 보였다. 사립체에 CO활성 형태는 일상 대조군에서는 I형과 III형이, 운동군에서는 실험기간에 비례해서는 II형과 III형이 많이 관찰되었다. 이상과 같은 실험결과들을 미루어볼 때 Treadmill 운동결과 CO의 활성과 심근섬유와 모세혈관의 비율이 운동에 의해 변화를 보여, 흰쥐의 심근에서는 treadmill 운동은 약 4주 정도에서 심장의 적응성이 어느 정도 이루어지는 것으로 사료된다.

An extremely cadmium tolerant yeast, Hansenula anomala B-7 used to determine the modification of the intracellular enzyme activities by cadmium ion. The activities of alcohol dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, and cytidine deaminase were decreased up to 90%, 40%, and 86% compa- red with the control by 1 mM cadmium nitrate respectively, but the activities of malate dehydrogenase, 6- phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase, and alkaline phosphatase were increased up to 440%, 136%, 260% and 155% compared with the control by 1 mM cadmium nitrate respectively. These results show that the activities of the enzymes participating in Embden-Mayerhof pathway (e.g. anaerobic metabolism) were reduced by cadmium, but those involved in hexose monophosphate pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle (e.g. aerobic metabolism) were stimulated in contrast. It has been suggested that the diminished activity of cytidine deaminase in pyrimidine nucleotide dissimilation occured due to the inhibited nucleotide dissimilation by cadmium ion; the enhanced activity of cytochrome c oxidase was specifically required in order to oxidize a raised amount of NADH and NADPH due to the increased aerobic metabolism.

To determine the molecular phylogenie location of Plagiorchis muris, 28S D1 ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) were sequenced and compared with other trematodes in the family Plagiorchiidae. The 28S D1 tree of P. muris was found to be closely related to those of P. elegans and other Plagiorchis species. And, the mtCOI tree also showed that P. muris is in a separate clade with genus Glypthelmins. These results support a phylogenie relationship between members of the Plagiorchiidae, as suggested by morphologic features.

The crinoid specimens of the genus Anneissia were collected from Nokdong, Korea Strait, and Moseulpo, Jeju Island. The specimens were identified as Anneissia pinguis (A.H. Clark, 1909), which belongs to the family Comatulidae of the order Comatulida. Anneissia pinguis was first described by A.H. Clark in 1909 around southern Japan. This species can be distinguished from other Anneissia species by a longish and stout cirrus, much fewer arms, and short distal cirrus segments. The morphological features of Korean specimens are as follows: large disk (20-35 mm), 28-36 segments and 32-43 mm length cirrus, division series in all 4 (3+4), very stout and strong distal pinnule with 18-19 comb and 40 arms. In Korea fauna, only three species of genus Anneissia were recorded: A. intermedia, A. japonica, and A. solaster. In this study, we provide the morphological description and phylogenetic analysis based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I.

The pulmonate gastropod Ellobium chinense (Pfeiffer, 1864) is an endangered marine species along the South Korean coasts due to habitat destruction and population declines. We sequenced the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) of 25 E. chinense specimens collected from five coastal sites in South Korea, and identified 16 unique haplotypes. The maximum intraspecific variation among individuals was 1.6%, while interspecific differences from another ellobiid species, Auriculastra duplicata (Pfeiffer, 1854), ranged from 21.9 to 23.0%. Our barcoding data will be useful to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships among pulmonate gastropods and infer the population genetic structure of E. chinense.
