We have studied the effect of fasting on $Na^+$, $K^{+}-ATPase$ activities in the rat intestinal mucosa. Rats were fasted for $18{\sim}48hr$. Intestinal microsomal fraction was prepared by the method of Robinson and ATPase activities were determined by the modified method of Fiske and Subbarow. $Na^+$, $K^{+}-ATPase$ activity was not changed after fasting for 18 and 24 hr but significantly decreased after fasting for 48 hr. Fasting over 18 to 48 hr period had no effect on the $Mg^{++}-ATPase$. Thus, it may be concluded that 48 hr fasting has inhibitory effect on rat intestinal absorptive capabilities. In order to study the effect of Ginseng on the $Na^+$, $K^{+}-ATPase$ activities of the small intestine in chronic $K^{+}-depleted$ rats, rats were fed $K^{+}-depleted$ diets for 3 weeks and Ginseng ethanol extracts were administered orally for 3 weeks concomitantly. ATPase activity was measured by the same method as fasting group. $Na^+$, $K^{+}-ATPase$ activity in the $K^{+}-depleted$ diet group was increased and Ginseng ethanol extracts inhibited the increase of enzyme activity induced by $K^{+}-depleted$ diet. Thus, it may be suggested that increase in the intestinal $Na^+$, $K^{+}-ATPase$ activity of chronic $K^{+}-depleted$ group may be due to the compensatory mechanism and administration of Ginseng with $K^{+}-depleted$ diet may be associated with inhibition of increase in the enzyme activity of the $K^{+}-depleted$ group due to the prevention of the $K^+$ loss in the $K^{+}-depletion$.

완전 단식군의 흰쥐(FO)와 단식중에 소기름(FT), 옥수수기름(FC), 들깨기름(FP)만을 각각 투여하고 비교하니 FO군은 대부분 6일까지 생존하고 FT, FC, FP군은 대부분 16일까지 생존하였다. 폐사 직전의 모든 흰쥐 체중은 -24.5~-25%로 감소되었다. 단식중 유지 섭취는 다소 생명을 연장하나 식이 유지 종류에 따른 생존기간과 체중 변화에 미치는 영향에는 괄목할 차이가 없었다. 간장과 신장 무게 변화도 체중변화와 유사한 양상을 보였다. FO군의 혈중 총 cholesterol 농도, 중성지방 농도, 혈당은 대폭 감소되고 GPT 활성값과 BUN 농도는 상당 수준으로 증가되었다. FC군과 FP군에서 유지의 n-6/n-3비율 혹은 불포화도 특성 차이가 총 cholesterol농도, 중성지방농도, 혈당농도, BUN농도, 단식 초기의 GPT활성도에 영향을 주지 못했다. 그러나 기아사 직전의 FP군에서 GPT활성도가 FT, FC군보다 높았다. 본 연구에서 결론은 기아 상태의 흰쥐에 유지 단독섭취는 유지 종류에 관계없이 생존일수를 다소 비슷하게 연장하였고 n-6/n-3비율, 불포화도 특성차이가 전반적으로 단식중의 대사에 미치는 영향에서 별다른 차이가 없었음을 알 수 있었다.

There are marked variations in the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) among adipose depots. The aim of this study was to compare the mechanisms of 24 h of fasting on LPL regulation between epididymal (EPI) adipocytes and mesenteric (MES) adipocytes in rats. 1-Day fasting consistently decreased activities of heparin-releasable LPL, total extractable LPL and cellular LPL markedly in both EPI and MES fat pads. LPL activity in MES fat pads was relatively lower than in the EPI fat pads. Consistent with data on LPL activity, the levels of expression of LPL mRNA in both nutritional states were lower in MES than EPI adipose tissue and isolated adipocytes. The decreased LPL activity after 1 day of fasting in MES adipocytes was explained mainly by a 50% decrease in the relative abundance of LPL mRNA level and a parallel 50% decrease in relative rate of LPL synthesis. In contrast, fasting of 1 day in EPI adipocytes decreased total LPL activity by 47% but did not affect LPL mRNA level or relative rate of LPL synthesis. A decrease in overall protein synthesis contributed to the decreased LPL activity after 1 day fasting both in EPI and MES adipocytes. In MES adipocytes the decrease in LPL activity, LPL mRNA and LPL synthesis were comparable, but in EPI adipocytes the changes in LPL activity were substantially larger than the changes in LPL mRNA level and LPL synthesis. Therefore, fasting decreased fat cell size, LPL activity, LPL mRNA level and relative rate of LPL synthesis in rats, and these effects were more marked in the MES adipocytes. These results clearly demonstrate the regional variations in the metabolic response of adipose tissue and LPL functions to fasting.

단식 또는 기초사료를 투여한 성장기 rat 에 우지 또는 들깨유를 매일 일정량 투여하여 2일 간격으로 체중변화와 장기중량, 혈액의 생화학적검사 간조직검사를하여 다음의 결론을 얻었다. 완전 단식rat군(F)과 단식중 우지 (FT)와 들깨유(FP)를 투여한 rat군은 1일 평균 -6.2~-4.0%인 체중감소를 보이고 기초식이군 (B) 또는 기초식이에 우지 (BT)나 들깨유(BP)를 투여한 rat군은 1일 2.3~4.0%의 체중증가를 보였다. F군은 4일만에 모두 아사하였고, FT와 FP군은 6~10일 사이에 모두 아사하였다. 단식에 의한 영향으로 아사직전 이들 rat는 간중량(3.6~4.0g) serum cholesterol(70~73.2mg/㎗), serum triglyceride (6.5~7..5mg/㎗) blood glucose (76-91mg/㎗)의 현저한 감소와 GPT (117.5-186.5u), blood urea nitrogen (38~65mg/㎗)을 대폭 증가하는 특징을 가졌다. 유지시료 불포화도에 따른 영향에서 FP군은 FT군에 비해 약 2일 정도 생존일수의 감축과 serum cholesterol, serum triglyceride, blood urea nitrogen 감소를 보이나 GPT, blood glucose를 약간 증가하였다. BP군은 BT군에 비해 serum cholesterol, triglyceride를 상당히 감소하고 blood urea nitrogen의 근소한 감소와 GPT는 대폭 증가하였다. Blood glucose는 거의 차이가 없었다. 간조직 검사 결과 F군은 아사직전 간실질내 염증 세포 침윤을 보이고 FT, FP군은 유지 시료의 불포화도 차이에 관계없이 아사직전 일부 rat가 염증세포 침윤, 간실질의 염증, 간세포의 손상된 모양이 관찰되었다. 따라서 어떤 목적으로 단식 또는 유지만을 공급하는 무단백질 제한식이를 할 때 극심한 체중감소를 보이고 혈중 cholesterol과 trig1yceride는 크게 낮아지며 간을 포함한 모든 조직의 붕괴의 조짐으로 blood urea nitrogen이 크게 증가되고 그에 따른 간기능저하로 GPT도 크게 상승하고 rat의 경우 4~6일만에 사망하였다. 단식중이거나 혹은 정상식이내 고도 불포화 유지 (들깨유)의 섭취는 포화지방 (우지)에비해 혈중 cholesterol 과 triglyceride를 감소시키는 효과는 있지만 GPT가 유의적으로 증가됨을 볼때 장기간 고도 불포화 유지를 다량 섭취함은 간기능을 저하 시킬 수 있음이 나타났다.

A novel gene Jpk, originally isolated as a trans-acting factor associating with the position-specific regulatory element of murine Hox gene has been reported to be expressed differentially in the liver of diabetic animals. Therefore, in an attempt to develop a possible diagnostic marker and/or new therapeutic agent for the Diabetes Mellitus, we analysed the expression pattern of Jpk among organs of normal and diabetic Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Total RNAs were isolated from each organs (brain, lung, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, muscle, blood, and testis) of diabetic and normal rats in both normal feeding and after fasting condition. And then RT (reverse transcription) PCR has been performed using Jpk­specific primers. The Jpk gene turned out to be expressed in all organs tested, with some different expression profiles among normal and diabetes, though. Upon fasting, Jpk expressions were reduced in all organs tested except kidney, muscle and brain of normal rat. Whereas in diabetes, Jpk expressions were increased in all organs except heart, muscle and testis when fasted. Compared to the normal rat, the Jpk expression level in blood was remarkably upregulated (about 15-30times) in diabetic rat whether in normal feeding or fasting conditon, suggesting that the Jpk could be a candidate gene for the possible blood diagnostic marker for the Diabetes Mellitus.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of fasting and high-fat diet feeding on uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) mRNA levels, uncoupling the respiratory chain and producing heat, of skeletal muscle in rat. METHODS. Fasting experiment: Forty Male Sprague-Dawley rats (5 wk) were divided into non-fasting groups (CON) and fasting groups (FG) for 0 day, 0.5 day (12 hr), 1 day, 2 day and 3 day. The rats of CON were sacrificed at 0 and 3 day. High-fat diet experiment: Forty Male Sprague-Dawley rats (5 wk) were divided into low-fat diet groups (LF) and high-fat diet group feeding for 0 day, 0.5 day (12 hr), 1 day, 2 day and 3 day. The rats of LF were sacrificed at 0 and 3 day. Analysis: Analysis of UCP3 mRNA expression was used by Real-time PCR. RESULTS. UCP3 mRNA levels of FG group were increased according to time course for 2 days- fasting but decreased at 3 day-fasting. UCP3 mRNA of HF were increased during HF diet feeding for 2 day, and peaked at 1 day-HF feeding, but decreased 2 day and 3 day-HF feeding CONCLUSION. Therefore, it may be rational that UCP3 is up-regulation when a large amount of fatty acids influx occurs in skeletal muscles as well as might have a role for fine adjustments of energy expenditure.

Insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I)은 성장호르몬의 여러 가지 성정촉진 작용을 매개하는 분열 유발성 폴리펩티드이며, 조직의 수선과 재생, 창상치유 및 골대사와 같은 과정들에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있고, 비교적 여러 조직에서 발현되고 있는 IGF-I 유전자의 전사조절에 대한 정확한 분자적 기전과 호르몬 및 대사 상태가 그것을 어떻게 조절하는지 아직 밝혀져 있지 않다. 쥐를 절삭시키므로써 대사 상태를 변조시켰을 때, 간 조직내 IGF-I mRNA의 발현에 미치는 절식의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 solution hybridizatioon/RNase protection 방법으로 분석 하였다. IGF-I의 exon 1 및 exon 2에 의하여 encode된 tran-scripts 모두가 감소된 결과를 얻었고, 이러한 감소는 전사 수준에서 일어난 것으로 nuclear run-on 분석에 의하여 확인하였다. 또한 절식시킨 쥐에서 IGF-I mRNA의 양을 조절하는 cia-acting elements를 IGF-I 유전자의 5'-flanking 지역과 exon 1과 econ 2에서 밝히고자 절식시킨 쥐의 신선한 간조직에서 핵 추출물을 얻어 IGF-I의 여러 가지 DNA fragments와 반응시켜 DNase I protection 분석을 한 결과, IGF-I 유전자의 주요한 전사 개 시점으로부터 downstream에 있는 sequences가 절식으로 변조시킨 대사상태에서 IGF-I의 발현 조절에 중요하며 이곳에는 전사인자인 C/EBP family의 isoform들을 포함한 간조직에 풍부하게 존재하는 여러 전사인자들이 결합할 것으로 제안하였다.

본 연구에서는 흰쥐 간장에 있어서 아실-CoA 합성효소 4의 세포내 소기관의 존재 여부를 확인함과 동시에 fasting, high fat diet, fat-free high sucrose diet, 퍼옥시솜 증식 인자인 DEHP [Di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate]를 급여한 흰쥐 간장에 있어서 ACS4의 발현에 대하여 조사하였다. ACS4는 ACSI과 마찬가지로 흰쥐 간장의 마이크로솜, 미토콘드리아와 퍼옥시솜에 존재하는 것으로 생각되며 미토콘드리아에서 가장 많은 단백질이 검출되었다. ACS4 mRNA는 절식하였을 때와 high fat diet, fat-free high sucrose diet을 급여하였을 때는 대조군에 비하여 2.3배 발현이 증가하였으며 DEHP을 급여하였을 때는 3.9배 mRNA의 증가를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 보면 간장에 있어서 ACS4는 기본적인 $\beta$-산화뿐만 아니라 호르몬에 의한 조절과 간접적으로는 인슐린에 의한 조절도 받는 것으로 생각되며 다양한 기능을 수행하고 있음을 추측할 수 있다.

Onion (Allium cepa Linn) has been reported to have hypoglycemic activity in human and several animal models. In the present study, we performed intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) in young (1.5mo) and aged (5 mo) rats treated with onion in order to determine whether aging can influence on the anti-hy-perglycemic effect of onion. In addition, we investigated the hypoglycemic effect of onion in streptozotocin- induced diabetic rats treated with aqueous extracts of onion (500 mg/kg, i.p., daily) for 4 weeks. Blood glucose level was determined in fasted and fed rats by using a glucometer (Johnson & Johnson). In glucose tolerance test, blood glucose level was maximally increased 15 min after glucose load (2 g/kg, i.p.), and recovered to the basal level 3 hr after glucose challenge in young and old rats. The maximum blood glucose levels of young and aged rat were 184$\pm$7.49 and 225.2$\pm$ 12.55 mg/dl, respectively. A single i.p. injection of aqueous extract of onion (1 g/kg) 30 min before glucose challenge significantly decreased blood glucose levels at 15, 30, 60, 90 min after glucose load in aged rats, while the administration of onion did not show any significant effect in young rats. In onion-treated diabetic rats, significant hypoglycemic effect (p<0.05) was observed, and the effect was greater in fasted rats than in fed. In conclusion, these results suggest that anti-hyperlycemic effect of onion can be changed by age and fasting.

To understand molecular mechanisms that regulate deposition and release of intramuscular fat, a fasting-induced clone was identified by differential screening from cDNA library of adipose tissues of Korean cattle. The clone had a total length of 1,319 nucleotides coding for 334 amino acids. It was identified as one encoding L-lactate dehydrogenase H chain (LDH-B). Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of bovine LDH-B with those of pig, human, rat, and mouse showed 98%, 98%, 97%, and 96% identity, respectively. Food deprivation for 48 h increased mRNA levels of LDH-B gene in adipose tissues of Korean cattle compared to fed- and 6 h refed- tissues. The expression of obese mRNA was examined for individual adipose tissue from several fat depots. Fasting induced expression of LDH-B gene in subcutaneous adipose tissues, but it did not affect expression levels in abdominal, perirenal and intramuscular tissues. Results demonstrate that induction of LDH-B gene during fasting may represent a metabolic shift from anaerobic state to aerobic predominance in fasted adipose tissues and that its responses to fasting are different among several adipose tissues.
