인체에 대해서 유익한 작용을 하며 실생활에서 쉽게 접할수 있는 3개의 보익제를 동의보감으로부터 선정하여 효능을 과학적으로 검증하기 위한 자료로서 항산화력을 조사하였다 동의보감의 처방에 따라서 약재를 혼합한 후 열수 추출한 물질의 항산화력을 전자공여능, SOD 유사 활성 및 지질과산화 억제능을 이용하여 조사한 결과 대표적 항산화제인 vitamin C에 비하여 낮은 활성을 보였으나 모두 항산화력을 나타내었다. 이 3개 탕제를 흰쥐에게 4주간 투여한 뒤 혈장에서 총항산화력이 대조군에 비하여 증가하였다. 또한, 탕제 투여한 흰쥐의 간 조직을 적출 하여 활성 산소발생제인 2.2'-azobis(amidinopropane)dihydrochloride(AAPH)를 처리한 결과 조직내의 대표적 비효소 항산화제인 환원형 glutathione의 감소가 억제되었으며, 산화형과 환원형의 비율 또한 증가하여 탕제 투여에 의해 간 조직 및 혈장의 항산화력이 증가함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과 산화적 손상의 지표로 사용되는 지질과산화(TBARS) 단백질 분해도 역시 탕제 투여군이 비투여군에 비하여 감소하였다. 따라서, 보익제로 사용되는 3개 탕제는 체내 항산화력을 증강시켜 노화 및 다양한 질병의 원인이 되는 산화적 손상으로부터 체내를 보호할 수 있을 것으로 추측된다.

갓김치로부터 분리한 probiotic L. acidophilus GK20 및 L. paracasei GK74를 단독 혹은 혼합 배양하여 제조한 요구르트를 저장하는 동안 이화학적 및 미생물학적 특성과 스타터의 위산이나 담즙산에 대한 저항성, Caco-2 cell에 대한 부착능, 항균, 항산화 및 효소적 활성에 대한 prebiotic FOS(fructooligosaccharide)의 영향을 살펴보았다. FOS를 첨가했을 때 요구르트 내의 스타터 균수, 총산도 및 점도는 유의하게 높아짐과 동시에 pH는 감소되었다(p<0.05). 또한 E. coli ATCC 11229와 S. enteritidis ATCC 13076은 probiotics 스타터가 생산한 항균물질에 의해 저해되었으며, FOS를 첨가한 synbiotic 요구르트의 항균활성은 더욱 증가되었다. 게다가 FOS (1.0%)를 첨가하여 혼합 스타터로 발효시킨 요구르트에서 가장 높은 단백질 분해능 ($1.06{\pm}0.06$ unit) 및 ${\beta}$-galactosidase 활성 ($20.14{\pm}0.31$ unit)을 나타내었다. 하지만 비록 L. acidophilus GK20과 L. paracasei GK74 모두 장관액에 대한 저항성, 장관상피세포에 대한 부착능 및 DPPH radical 소거능이나 환원력과 같은 항산화 활성을 나타내었지만, 이들 활성이 FOS에 의해 증가되진 않았다. 결과적으로 L. acidophilus GK20과 L. paracasei GK74 혼합 배양에 FOS를 첨가한 synbiotic 요구르트는 장내환경 개선과 건강기능 향상에 유용한 것으로 여겨지며, 생리활성은 $4^{\circ}C$에서 7일간 저장 하에서도 일정하게 유지되었음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 고탁도의 사육조건에서 탁수가 어류의 조직과 생리에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 참갈겨니의 아가미와 신장을 사용하였다. 탁도가 높고 사육기간이 길어질수록 아가미에서는 이차 새변의 간격이 불규칙해지고, 곤봉화, 부종, 상피세포의 박리가 나타났으며 새변 사이에는 이물질의 부착이 두드러지게 관찰되었다. 신장조직에서도 탁도의 증가에 따라 사구체가 수축되고 있으며 보우만 주머니의 공간이 넓게 관찰되었다. 고탁도의 탁수가 아가미와 신장 조직 내 항산화효소의 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사해 보면 SOD활성은 아가미와 신장 조직에서 고탁수로 감에 따라 활성이 증가하였으나 CAT와 GPX의 활성은 주로 신장에서 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 즉 고탁수의 스트레스에 의해 생성되는 유해한 라디칼은 주로 신장 조직의 항산화효소에 의해 제거하는 것으로 사료된다. 탁도 변화에 따라 어체에 축적되는 미량 중금속 농도의 경우 탁도가 매우 높은 1,000 NTU에서는 대조실험군 어류에 비해 중금속의 함량이 급격히 증가되는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이러한 결과로 보아 장기간 고탁도가 유지된다면 아가미와 신장 조직은 비정상적인 형태로 변형되고 중금속은 체내에 급격히 축적됨으로 치명적인 유해 작용을 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death. Oxidative DNA damage may contribute to cancer risk and the antioxidant paraoxonase is one endogenous free radical scavenger in the human body which could therefore exert an influeence. Purpose: Aim of this study was to determine the role of serum arylesterase (ARE) and paraoxonase 1(PON1) activities in CRC patients and to find any association between (PON1) Q192R and L55M gene polymorphisms in CRC patients. Also the serum ARE and PON1 activities in CRC patients will be investigated before and after surgery Materials and Methods: This study involved a total of 50 patients with newly diagnosed CRC and 80 healthy controls. PON1 and ARE activities were determined using an enzymatic spectrophotometric method. PON1 Q192R and L55M gene polymorphisms were determined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) based restriction fragment analysis. The restriction enzyme AlwI was used to examine the Q192R polymorphism and Hsp92II for the L55M polymorphism. Results: Significant differences in the PON1 Q192R polymorphism were found between patients and controls. The Q allele was more frequent in the patient group than in controls, while the R allele was more frequent in the controls. Significant differences were found in the L55M polymorphism. Additionally, there were significant differences in L and M allele frequencies (p=0.001). The serum activities of PON1 and ARE were low in QQ and MM genotype. Conclusions: serum PON1 and ARE activities were significantly lower in CRC patients compared to healthy subjects. The R allele may protect against colorectal cancer.

우리나라 남해안 연안에서 주로 양식되는 진주담치(국산 홍합)와 세계적으로 기능성이 잘 알려진 뉴질랜드 초록입 홍합의 열수 추출물을 제조하여 생리활성을 비교하였다. 모든 홍합 추출물들은 알코올대사와 관련한 alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH)와 acetaldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH)의 활성을 상승시켰으며, 특히 ADH의 활성을 크게 향상시켰다. 국산 홍합의 육질 추출물은 초록입 홍합의 육질 추출물에 비하여 ADH 상승 효과는 비슷하였으며, ALDH 상승 효과는 약간 낮았다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능으로 조사한 항산화능은 국산 홍합의 육질 추출물이 초록입 홍합의 육질 추출물 보다 높았다. 항고혈압과 관련한 ACE 저해능의 경우에는 국산 홍합 육질 추출물이 초록입 홍합의 육질 추출물에 비해 10 mg/mL 농도에서는 낮았으나 20 mg/mL 이상의 농도에서는 유의차(P<0.05)를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 국내에서 양식되고 있는 홍합도 세계적으로 초록입 홍합에 못지않은 생리활성을 가지고 있음을 시사한다.

This study investigated the antioxidative action of Corni Fructus aqueous extract on kidneys of diabetic mice. The electron donating abilities of Corni Fructus aqueous extract and its antioxidant activities (XO, SOD, CAT, GST, eNOS) in kidneys of C57BL/6 or db/db mice were evaluated. For in vivo study, seven week-old male mice were divided into normal control group (NC, C57BL/6 mice), diabetic control group (DC, db/db mice) and Corni Fructus (500 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks) treated diabetic group (DCF, db/db mice). The electron donating abilities of Corni Fructus aqueous extract exhibited 7%, 24.4%, and 42.7% at concentrations of 100, 500, and $1000\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The activity of XO in the DCF group was significantly lower than the DC group by 35% (p < 0.05). The SOD activity was significantly higher in the DCF group than the DC group by 26% (p < 0.05). The activities of CAT and GST were lowered in the DCF group than the DC group by 26% (p < 0.05) and 7.6%, respectively. The mRNA expression of eNOS in kidneys was lower in the DCF group than the DC group by 24%. These results indicate that Corni Fructus reduced oxidation stress as evidenced by the restoration of the enzymatic antioxidative defense system in renal tissues of db/db mice. It is suggested that these antioxidative actions of Corni Fructus on renal tissues in db/db mice could contribute to its renoprotective effects on diabetic nephropathy.

For the induction of arthropathy, 5% hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$) was injected for 5 weeks into the intraarticular space of the New Zealand white rabbits to damage articular cartilage. Alginic acid of low molecular weight (2%) made from macromolecular alginate treated with enzyme was administered into articular space at the dose of 5 mg/kg twice a week for 3 and 6 weeks using 1 ml syringe and 26 G needle. Saline was injected for the control. Tissues surrounding the articulation were obtained for the measurements of superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity as a major antioxidant enzyme and malondialdehyde (MDA) as a lipid peroxidation level. Histopathologic examination on the surface of articular cartilage was carried out. Data showed that injection of hydrogen peroxide for 5 weeks had led to the induction of free radical damage and of articular cartilage change as confirmed by microscopic observation. The application of hydrogen peroxide caused a gradual increase in the SODs and MDA. These patterns were similar after 3 and 6 weeks of alginate treatment. Furthermore, microscopic examinations revealed that hydrogen peroxide caused flaking, fibrillation, fissuring, denudation, and hypocellularity in the articular surfaces. In conclusion, lipid peroxidation was demonstrated in the articular cartilage by the administration of hydrogen peroxide in the rabbit model. This lipid peroxidation could be caused by oxygen free radicals. The histologic and enzymatic correlations on lipid peroxidation in the articulation have provided a better understanding of arthropathy. It is possible to take advantage of these findings to evaluate effective alginate dosage more efficiently.

The protective effect of pig skin gelatin water extracts (PSW) and the low molecular weight hydrolysates of PSW generated via enzymatic hydrolysis with Flavourzyme® 1000L (LPSW) against scopolamine-induced impairment of cognitive function in mice was determined. Seventy male ICR mice weighing 20-25 g were randomly assigned to seven groups: Control (CON); scopolamine (SCO, 1 mg/kg B.W., intraperitoneally (i.p.); tetrahydroaminoacridine 10 [THA 10, tacrine; 10 mg/kg B.W. per oral (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.)]; PSW 10 (10 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.); PSW 40 (40 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.); LPSW 100 (100 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.); LPSW 400 (400 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.). All treatment groups, except CON, received scopolamine on the day of the experiment. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity of LPSW 400 at 1 mg/mL was 154.14 μM Trolox equivalent. Administration of PSW and LPSW for 15 weeks did not significantly affect on physical performance of mice. LPSW 400 significantly increased spontaneous alternation, reaching the level observed for THA and CON. The latency time of animals receiving LPSW 400 was higher than that of mice treated with SCO alone in the passive avoidance test, whereas it was shorter in the water maze test. LPSW 400 increased acetylcholine (ACh) content and decreased ACh esterase activity (p<0.05). LPSW 100 and LPSW 400 reduced monoamine oxidase-B activity. These results indicated that LPSW at 400 mg/kg B.W. is a potentially strong antioxidant and contains novel components for the functional food industry.

Reactive oxygen species(ROS) can induce hepatotoxicity and trigger apoptosis in the liver. In this study, we investigated the sulfated polysaccharide A-1 from Opuntia ficus-indica against alcoholic oxidative stress in human liver Hep G2 cell. An antioxidant substance A-1 obtained from the enzymatic extract of Opuntia ficus-indica fruit was purified by DEAE-cellulose ion exchange and sephadex G-100 gel permeation chromatography. The purification yield and molecular weight were 14.3% and 1.8 KDa, respectively. The A-1 predominately contained arabinose, galactose, rhamnose and also sulfate group. The structure of A-1 was investigated by periodate oxidation, FT-IR spectroscopy, $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy. The A-1 mainly composed of alternating unit of ${\rightarrow}4$)-$\alpha$-L- Rapp-2-$SO_3^-$-$\alpha$-L-Galp-($1{\rightarrow}$ and branched linkage of $\beta$-D-Arbp- ($5{\rightarrow}$. The antioxidative activity was measured using the SOD, CAT activity and GSH assay, respectively. The expression of Nrf2 protein was analyzed by western blotting. The viable cell count analyzed by autofluorescence. Oxidative stress induced by ethanol(1 M) were dramatically reduced by A-1 treatment. A-1 also prevented cell death induced by oxidative stress. It also increased expression Nrf2 protein level. We concluded that sulfated polysaccharide A-1 from Opuntia ficus-indica effectively protect Hep G2 liver cell from alcoholic oxidative stress.

In the previous report, E-kong-san, which is usually used for recovering health in traditional medicine, has been shown to decrease cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity in vivo and in vitro. The significant reduction of E-kong-san on the cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity led us to investigate whether the effect of this water extract was a result of triggering antioxidation. In monkey kidney Vero cells, E-kong-san at $5{\sim}10\;mg/ml$ was able to attenuate 2mM cisplatin-stimulated cell death by 46.8% and 31.8%, respectively. E-kong-san showed strong free radical scavengering activities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) radical and xanthine/xanthine oxidase (XOD) generated superoxide anion radical $(O_2^{-.})$. We further studied the effects of E-kong-san on lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes induced by enzymatic and nonenzymatic methods. Moreover, E-kong-san exhibited significant inhibition on both ascorbic $acid/Fe^{2+}$ and $ADP/NADPH/Fe^{3+}$ induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. Based on these results, we suggest that E-kong-san protects the cisplatin induced cytotoxicity by its antioxidative mechanism.
