We analyzed the compositions of proximate and total fatty acids in the reproductive organs of male (testis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, and spermatophore sac) and female (ovary, oviduct, oviducal gland, and nidamental gland) common squid. The protein contents were 12.1-22.7 and 13.2-19.4% for males and females, respectively, and the lipid contents were 1.0-2.7 and 2.1-8.0%, respectively. The prominent fatty acids in all reproductive organs were 22:6n-3, 20:5n-3, 16:0, 20:1n-9, 18:0, 18:1n-9, and 20:4n-6. Females had 28.6-32.0% of 22:6n-3 and 11.3-22.6% of 20:5n-3, while males had 20.8-26.8% of 22:6n-3 and 14.4-28.7% of 20:5n-3. These results indicate that the reproductive organs of both male and female squid are potential sources of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid.

Fatty acid compositions of Setaria italica, Panirum miliaceum and Sorghum bicolor were determined with total lipids extracted. Total lipid content of Setaria italica, Panium miliaceum and Sorghum bicolor were 3.9%(w/w), 2.7%(w/w) and 2.3%(w/w), respectively. Total lipids were fractionated into neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids by the silicic acid column chromatography. Neutral lipids were the most abundant component. Among fatty acids separated by GC, linoleic acid was determined as a major fraction in Setaria italica, Panicum miliaceum and Sorghum bicolor. Palmitic acid and oleic acid were also separated as second major components. In Setaria italica, behenic acid was separated from the phospholipid fraction and myristic acid from the neutral lipid fraction. Linolenic acid was not detected in all the samples.

The compositions of tofus made with Baktae and Huktae were compared to those made with other respective types of soybeans. The lipid and protein contents of Baktae were 20.8% and 39.7%, while those of Huktae were 15.8% and 41.1%, respectively. In both soybean types, linoleic acid(18:2), oleic acid(18:1), and palmitic acid(16:0) accounted for more than 80% of the total fatty acids. The tofu made from Baktae was whiter than the tofu made from Huktae, as exhibited by a higher Hunter's L-value. The lipid content of the Baktae tofu(4.41%) was higher than that of the Huktae tofu(3.26%). The amino acid compositions of the Huktae and Baktae tofus were similar, with glutamic acid and aspartic acid being the most abundant amino acids in both tofus. However, the content of the limiting amino acid, methionine, increased 2.5-fold in the tofus as compared to the soybeans, on a per gram protein basis. Isoflavones were lost during tofu making as contents for the tofu were 20${\sim}$25% of those for the soybeans.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the feeding mixture of linesed oil, rich in n-3 PUFA and the sunflower seed oil, rich in n-6 PUFA on the lipid metabolism in the dietary hypprlidemic rats. After male Sprague-Dawley rats were induced hyperlipidemia by feeding the diet containing lard, butter, and cholesterol for 3 weeks, then they were fed with the diet containing lard 3.0% and butter 12.0% for control, the mixture in different proportion of both linseed oil and sunflower seed oil, and antihyperlipidemic durgs for 2 weeks. Analysis of the lipid component and the fatty acid composition of the liver showed following results. Concentration s of the total cholesterol and phospholipid in liver were significantly higher in group 2 (olive oil 12.0%) and lower in the other groups than in the control group, especially lower in groups 3 (cholestyramine 2.0%) and 9 (sunflower seed oil 12.0%) . Concentration of triglyceride was lower in the other groups except group 4 (liparoid), especially lowe rin group 9 than in the control group. In the fatty acid composition of liver lipids, C18:2 was the major fatty acid. Contents of n-6 PUFA increased , while those of n-3 PUFA decreased in groups composition of the test lipids. From the data on concentration s of total cholesterol. Phospholipid and triglyceride in liver, we concluded that the feeding mixed with 3.0% lard and 12.0 % sunflower seed oil were most effective for the improvement of the live lipids. The fatty acid composition in liver lipids were affected by the fatty acid composition of the test lipids.

Proximate compositions, fatty acid profiles, and total amino acid compositions of the muscle and liver of Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides were studied. Lipid contents of the muscle and liver of the fish were 22.3% and 35.3%, respectively. Protein content was higher in the fish muscle (12.8%) than in the liver (8.7%). Moisture content was also higher in the muscle (63.6%) than in the liver (49.8%). The prominent fatty acids in the total lipids of the fish muscle and liver were 18:1n-9, 16:0, 20:1n-9, 16:1n-7, 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA), 18:1n-7, 22:1n-11, 18:0, and 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA). The fish muscle and liver contained approximately 1,000 to 2,500 mg of DHA and 400 to 600 mg of EPA per 100 g of tissue. Therefore, the fish muscle and liver are good sources of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. On the other hand, the total amino acid content of the fish was 11.7 g/100 g muscle and 6.53 g/100 g liver. The prominent total amino acids profiles in the fish muscle and liver were glutamic acid, lysine, aspartic acid, leucine, and alanine, which are similar to those in other fishes.

This study was conducted to evaluate changes in plasma concentration and urinary excretion of carnitine, as well as plasma lipid level and fatty acid composition, caused by short term supplementation of carnitine in humans. Ten healthy male subjects (21.2 $\pm$ 0.5 years old) received oral carnitine supplementation (4 g/day) as tablets for two weeks. Fasting blood and random urine samples were collected from each subject both prior to and at the end of carnitine supplemention program. Following the 2 weeks of carnitine supplementation, plasma total carnitine (TCNE) concentration increased 20% (85.1 $\pm$ 7.4 vs 67.3 $\pm$ 9.1 $\mu$ mol/1, p> 0.05), while urinary excretion of total carnitine increased ten times compared to the value measured prior to the supplementation (3051 $\pm$ 692 vs 278 $\pm$ 90.1 $\mu$ mol/g creatinine, p < 0.01). Non-esterified carnitine (NEC) comprised from 71 to 88% of TCNE in plasma, and from 32 to 40% of TCNE excreted in the urine. Two weeks of carnitine supplementation in healthy adults significantly elevated plasma level of acid soluble acylcarnitine (ASAC) which is esterified mostly with short chain fatty acids (21.6 $\pm$ 1.6 $\mu$ mol/l) compared to the value measured prior to the supplementation (6.4 $\pm$ 0.8 $\mu$ mol/l) (p < 0.05). Carnitine supplementation significantly increased plasma HDL-cholesterol level (p < 0.05), and decreased the atherogenic index (p < 0.05), but failed to cause any significant change in plasma levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, and free fatty acids. Plasma triglyceride and phospholipid fatty acid compositions were not significaly affected as well by the oral supplementation of carnitine in subjects with normal range of blood lipid levels.

The change of tissue lipid levels and fatty acid compositions in alloxan-induced diabetes was studied in rats (SD, male) in order to examine the pathway of diabetic complications. Rats were injected with alloxan 20 mg/kg BW or 40 mg/kg BW to induce diabetes. In rats injected with alloxan (40 mg/kg BW), the body weight was significantly decreased, food intake and liver weight per 100 g (BW) were significantly increased, compared with other groups. The blood glucose levels were apparently elevated as about 2 times in rats injected with alloxan (40 mg/kg BW) than the other groups. The concentrations of serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol were not significantly different among the groups. However, the levels of serum triglyceride tended to increase according to amount of alloxan injected. Liver cholesterol levels were significantly decreased in rats injected with alloxan (40 mg/kg BW) compared with other groups, but triglyceride levels of those were not significantly different among groups. Concerning the fatty acid compositions of serum, liver, kidney, spleen phosphatidylcholine, the percentage of linoleic acid in rats injected with alloxan (40 mg/kg BW) was significantly increased, while that of arachidonic acid was significantly decreased compared with the other groups. Therefore, the ratios of arachidonic/linoleic acid in tissue phosphatidylcholine tended to be low in rats injected with alloxan (40 mg/kg BW) and especially significant low levels were found in serum and spleen. Thus, it was suggested that insulin deficiency can affect on fatty acid biosynthesis and induce diabetic complications.

The proximate, fatty acid and total amino acid compositions of striped jewfish Stereolepis doederleini muscle were studied. The proximate composition was: 76.4% moisture, 19.4% protein, 2.92% lipid, and 1.19% ash. The predominant total lipid fatty acids were 16:0 (18.7%), 18:1n-9 (16.5%), 22:6n-3 (16.0%), 16:1n-7 (8.53%), 20:5n-3 (7.97%) and 18:0 (5.34%). Glutamic acid (17.4%), lysine (10.6%), aspartic acid (10.4%) and leucine (8.27%) were the predominant amino acids in striped jewfish muscle. These food components of striped jewfish were similar to those of costal and reef dwelling fishes such as black rockfish, black sea bream and rock trout, which are common sliced raw fish in Korea. Therefore, these results suggest that striped jewfish may represent a new aquaculture fish species.

Phospholipids are crucially important in a cell membrane function and could thereby influence antibiotic susceptibility. In order to investigate the antifungal mechanism the total lipid was extracted from C. albicans treated with citronellol or thymol in concentration of their minimum inhibiting concentration and the changes in phospholipids composition were analyzed using ketoconazole as control. The cell growth and total lipid synthesis in cell walls of C. albicans were inhibited by treatment with citronellol. The levels of total lipids were decreased by 35.85% compared to the control. They also showed a significant decrease in the contents of phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine(PC), phosphatidyl ethanolamine(PE) and phosphatidylinositol(PI). As the result of GC assay for total fatty acid methyl esters of PC, PE and PI in C. albicans treated with citronellol, it was found that the major fatty acid composed of three phospholipid were palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid. Moreover, the pattern of the fatty acid compositions of PC, PE and PI were changed by the oil. Based on the results, the anti-Candida mechanism of citronellol or thymol might be closely associated with disrupting the permeability barriers of the fungal cell wall composition or construction.
