Sleep deprivation is an extremely common event in today's society. It has caused learning cognitive skill deterioration and poor concentration, increased disease such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity, sexual function decrease, infertility increase, depression and autonomic nervous system disorder. Sleep deprivation-induced stress caused NADPH oxidase and oxidative stress. And this oxidative stress induces apoptosis. Lilii bulbus and Nelumbins semen are known to mental and physical relaxation effects. In this study, we induced sleep deprivation(SD) in Sprague-Dawley rats in water for 5 days and thereafter administered orally L. bulbus and N. semen for 5 days. Brain tissues were observed by histochemical, immunohistochemical and tunel staining. The immunoreactives of Tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$, Neuronal nitric oxide synthases, Phospho-SAPK/JNK and gp91-phox of the L. bulbus administered group and N. semen administered group were weaker than those of sleep deprivation group. In the L. bulbus administered group and N. semen administered group, apoptosis was decreased than that of sleep deprivation group. Proapoptotic p53, Bax, Cleaved caspase 3 immunoreactives of the administered group were weaker than those of sleep deprivation group, whereas anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 immunoreactity was stronger in the L. bulbus administered group and N. semen administered group. Antioxidant mechanism such as DJ-1, superoxide dismutase 1, Nuclear factor-like 2 immunoreactives of the L. bulbus and N. semen administered group were stronger than those of sleep deprivation group. These results demonstrate that L. bulbus, N. semen had the neuroprotective effects on the sleep deprivation-induced oxidative stress in the hippocampus.

Silibinin exhibits antidiabetic potential by preserving the mass and function of pancreatic β-cells through up-regulation of estrogen receptor-α (ERα) expression. However, the underlying protective mechanism of silibinin in pancreatic β-cells is still unclear. In the current study, we sought to determine whether ERα acts as the target of silibinin for the modulation of antioxidative response in pancreatic β-cells under high glucose and high fat conditions. Our in vivo study revealed that a 4-week oral administration of silibinin (100 mg/kg/day) decreased fasting blood glucose with a concurrent increase in levels of serum insulin in high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats. Moreover, expression of ERα, NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in pancreatic β-cells in pancreatic islets was increased by silibinin treatment. Accordingly, silibinin (10 μM) elevated viability, insulin biosynthesis, and insulin secretion of high glucose/palmitate-treated INS-1 cells accompanied by increased expression of ERα, Nrf2, and HO-1 as well as decreased reactive oxygen species production in vitro. Treatment using an ERα antagonist (MPP) in INS-1 cells or silencing ERα expression in INS-1 and NIT-1 cells with siRNA abolished the protective effects of silibinin. Our study suggests that silibinin activates the Nrf2-antioxidative pathways in pancreatic β-cells through regulation of ERα expression.

The Contents of proximate compositions, vitamin C and minerals(Ca, P, Fe and Zn) of five Korean wild vegetables were analyzed. Twenty four cooking recipes with three of the vegetables were developed and their taste characteristics were evaluated by 12-trained panels. The five Korean wild vegetables are Cassia tora(C.t.), Lycium chinese Mill(L.c.), Trichosanthes quadricirra MIQ(T.q.), Polygonatum japonicum MORR et DECAIS(P.j.) and Articum lappa L.(A.l.). They have been known as the efficacious plants agaginst diabetes mellitus. In our previous work, their hypoglycemic effects have been studied through streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and fed on the wild vegetables. Contents of moisture were 14~86% in the samples and L.c. showed relatively higher content of crude protein(16.4%). High level of crude fat was seen in C.t.(9.4%). Contents of vitamin C were also relatively high in the wild vegetables(14.2~42.0 mg%). Analysis of minerals revealed the high level of Ca in L.c. leaves, P in A.l. and Fe in C.t. and L.c. leaves. All of the samples contained Zn in 5.0~14.6 mg%. Twelvetrained taste panels indicated that the 24-preparations of L.c. leaves, fruites and P.j. were well accepted in taste, color and odor. Although L.c. fruit gruel, L.c. cream soup and P.j. saute were evalulated as less acceptable, their sensory scores were in 3.6~5.4 which were not undesirable. The newly developed cooking recipes of L.c. fruits and leaves showed better scores in color and texture, P.j. in texture and odor.

Objectives : Mori Folium is used for hyperlipidemia or diabetes. The study was designed to test the anti-obesity effect of Mori Folium on body weight, hepatic fat accumulation and serum lipid level. Methods : The extract from Mori Folium was made by the pharmacy department of Kyung-hee oriental medical hospital. Normal diet, high-fat diet, 30% reduced diet and Mori Folium groups were set. The normal group was administered normal rat food, but the other three groups were administered high fat food. We measured body weight once a week. After 3 weeks experiment, hepatic lipid accumulations were measured. Also we compared serum lipid levels among the 4 groups after 3 weeks. Results : Mori Folium had no effect on body weight, but the 30% reduced diet had an inhibitory effect on body weight gain. Mori Folium had more inhibitory effect on hepatic fat accumulation than a 30% reduced diet. Mori Folium also has more inhibitory effect on serum triglyceride than 30% reduced diet. Conclusions : Mori Folium has anti-obesity effect on hepatic lipid accumulaion and serum triglyceride level in high fat diet induced rats.

In the Present study, the therapeutic hypolipemic effect of water extract of Saengjinyanghyl-tang (SJYHT), a herbal extract mixture for treatment of diabetes in oriental medicine was tested in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic hyperlipemic SD rats. For detect the therapeutic effects, the test articles were once a day dosed for 28 days by gastric gavage at a dosage 1000, 500 and 250mg/kg from 25 days after STZ-dosing, and the changes on body weight and gains, serum LDL, HDL, Triglyceride and Total Cholesterol levels were observed In addition, the effects of test articles were compared to that of Simvastatin, a well known hypolipemic agents 10mg/kg-dosing group. Base on these results, although no meaningful effects were detected on the serum HDL levels, it is concluded that Saengjinyanghyul-tang water extracts have relatively good favorable effect treatment of STZ-induced diabetic hyperlipemia because they showed clear evidences inhibit the increase of serum LDL, Triglyceride and Total Cholesterol levels. Therefore, it is expected that Saengjinyanghyul-tang extract has favorable potency to development hypolipemic drugs. In addition, about 1000mg/kg of Saengjinyanghyul-tang extracts have similar effect compared to that of Simvastatin 10mg/kg. The effective dosage of Saengjinyanghyul-tang water extracts in the present study was considered as below 250mg/kg.

해당화 뿌리는 우리나라 민간에서 당뇨병 치료제로 사용되는 약용식물이다. Bromobenzene으로 간독성을 유발한 흰쥐에 뿌리에서 분리한 화합물인 (+)-catechin을 경구투여하여 bromobenzene대사계에 미치는 효소활성을 간독성 물질인 bromobenzene 3,4-oxide 생성에 관여하는 효소인 aminopyrine N-demetylase와 aniline hydroxylase와 독성 epoxide 대사중간체를 무독화 시키는 epoxide hydrolase와 glutathione S-transferase에 활성을 관찰하였다. (+)-Catechin의 투여가 aminopyrine N-demetylase, aniline hydroxylase 및 glutathione S-transferase에 활성에는 영향을 주지 못하였으나, epoxide hydrolase는 positive control로 사용한 ascorbic acid에 미치지 못하지만, bromobenzene 처리군 보다 39% 효소활성을 회복 시켰다. 따라서, (+)-catechin은 간독성 물질을 무독화시키는 epoxide hydrolase의 활성을 회복시켜 간보호 활성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었으며, 해당화에서 분리한 사포닌 성분인 rosamultin도 이효소의 활성을 증가시킴으로 인해 보호활성을 나타내는 것으로 보고된바 있다.
