토마토 액상을 70% MeOH 수용액으로 추출하고, 얻어진 추출물을 EtOAc, n-BuOH 및 물로 용매 분획 하였다. 이 중 활성이 확인된 EtOAc 분획으로부터 활성을 측정해 가며 silica gel과 octadecyl silica gel column chromatography로 정제하여 1종의 화합물을 분리 하였다. 화합물의 화학구조는 nuclear magnetic resornance, mass spectroscopy 및 infrarad spectroscopy 등의 스텍트럼 데이터를 해석 하여 quercetin (1)으로 동정 하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 glutathione mean의 증가와 glutathione heterogeneity의 감소를 보인 토마토 분획물이 세포 내 glutathione 수준을 균일하게 올려준다는 것을 입증함으로써 항산화 효능을 확인할 수 있었다.

Cisplatin을 투여한 흰쥐의 간장 및 신장에서GSH의 역할을 관찰하고자 총 GSH의 농도, GSH peroxidase 및 GSH reductase이 효소활성도를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 총 GSH의 양(mM/g protein)은 간에서는 cisplatin을 투여한 군($1.51{\pm}0.28$)이 대조군(0.95+0.28)에 비해 현저히 증가하였으며 (p<0.01), 신장에서도 cisplatin 투여군(0$0.87{\pm}0.20$)이 대조군($0.60{\pm}0.14$)에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). GSH peroxidase의 활성도(${\mu}M$ NADPH/mg protein/min)는 간장에서 cisplatin을 투여한 군($348.0{\pm}18.54$)이 대조군(415.5+53.15)에 비해 현저히 감소하였으며(p<0.01), 신장에서도 cisplatin 투여군($380.5{\pm}51.86$)이 대조군($327.2{\pm}20.36$)에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.01). GSH reductase의 활성도(${\mu}M$ NADPH/mg protein/min)는 간장에서 cisplatin 투여군($3.09{\pm}0.88$)이 대조군(2.28+0.61)에 비해 현저히 증가하였으며(p<0.01), 신장에서도 cisplatin 투여군($3.30{\pm}1.01$)에 비해 cisplatin 투여군($8.50{\pm}2.62$)이 현저히 증가하였다(p<0.01). Cisplatin 투여로 인한 해독작용은 간에서는GSH의 양이 신장과 비교시 현저히 증가하였고 GSH reductase의 증가 및 GSH peroxidase의 감소로cisplatin해독에 GSH가 많이 이용되어 해독작용이 신장보다 더 잘 일어났으며 신장에서는 GSH가 증가하였으나 두 효소 모두 증가하였으므로 GSH가 일부 산화형으로 이용되어 간에서 보다는 해독작용이 적게 나타난 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of green tea on gene expression of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) in rat liver exposed to microwave. Sprague-Dawley male rats with 200$\pm$10g body weight were assigned to normal and microwave exposed groups : microwave exposed groups ; microwave exposed groups were divided two groups : microwave(MW) group which was administrated the distilled water and green tea(GT) group which was administrated the green tea extracts. The rats were irradiated with microwave at frequence of 2.45 GHz for 15 min and then the gene expression in the damaged tissue were investigated at 0.1, 3, 4,6 and 8 days after the microwave irradition to compared with the normal group. The level of SOD gene expression in MW group was lower than the normal group within 6 days but that of GT group as higher than MW group. These results may imply that green tea stimulates SOD expression and there by protecting tissues from free radicals. The GSH-Px gene was expressed a little bit lower than the normal group but that of GT group was expressed to higher lever than MW group from 4 days after irradiation. These results suggest that the administration of green tea extract may activate antioxidative gene expressions such as SOD and GSH-Px in rat and that may help to recover liver tissues from microwave damage by removing hazardous free radicals and oxidized by products from cells.

Generally, it is known that the composition of the cation of the dog's RBCs is high in potassium(K) and low in sodium(Na). However, it is reported that certain kinds of dogs have HK, HG phenotype which contains a large amount of reduced glutathione(GSH) by the effect of Na-K pump on the cell membrane of RBC with high concentration of K and low concentration of Na. Although this HK phenotype is not regarded as a disease, it is supposed to be an important assignment to examine the distribution and the occurrence rate of the dogs that contain HK cell in their RBCs for the proper clinical treatments as these HK dogs are very sensitive to aromatic disul-fide or onions and have a tendency to cause hemolysis. Accordingly, present study was performed to measure the concentration of K, Na and GSH in the RBCs of Jindo dogs and that of Dosa dogs at the same time.

This study was conducted to investigate the anti-adipogenic activity of esculetin (ECT) which is reported to be attributable to the modulation of antioxidant enzymes during adipogenesis. After six days of ECT treatment of 3T3-L1 cells, lipid accumulation was determined by Oil red O staining. The levels of glutathione (GSH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the activities of antioxidant enzymes including glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase were examined. In addition, the protein expression of glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was measured by Western blot. ECT significantly inhibited lipid accumulation by approximately 80% and ROS production in a concentration-dependent manner. GSH level and GPx activity were increased by ECT by approximately 1.3-fold and 1.7-fold compared to the control group, respectively. GCLC and HO-1 expression were elevated by ECT. These results showed that ECT treatments strongly inhibit adipogenesis, increase GSH level, and upregulate the expression of GCLC and HO-1, possibly by decreasing ROS production in 3T3-L1 cells during adipogenesis.

Water extract from Prunella vulgaris L. (PVW) was tested for colon cancer chemopreventive activity by measuring the activities of cytochrome P450 1A1, phase Ⅱ detoxification enzyme [quinone reductase (QR) and glutathione S-transferase (GST)] and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and glutathione (GSH) levels in cultured human colorectal adenocarcinoma HT-29 cells. PVW significantly inhibited 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced cytochrome P450 1A1 activity at 10 and 50 ${\mu}g/ml$. PVW induced QR activity in a dose-dependent manner over a concentration range of $1{\sim}50\;{\mu}g/ml$. GST activity was also induced with the treatment of PVW in HT-29 cells. In addition GSH levels were increased with PVW. PVW inhibited ODC activity, a key enzyme of polyamine biosynthesis, which is enhanced in tumor promotion. These results suggest that Prunella vulgaris L. has colon cancer chemopreventive activity by inhibiting cytochrome P450 1A1 and ODC activities and by increasing phase Ⅱ enzyme activity and GSH levels.

Thirty-four glutathione conjugates of 5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones (DMNQ) were synthesized and their structure was determined. The yield of GSH conjugate was dependent on size of alkyl group; the longer the size of alkyl group was, the lower was the yield. It was also found that the length of alkyl side chain influenced the chemical shift of quinonoid protons; the quinonoid protons of 2-glutathionyl DMNQ derivatives with R=H to propyl, 6.51-6.59 ppm vs. other ones with R=butyl to heptyl, 6.64-6.68 ppm. this was explained to be due to a folding effect of longer alkyl group. Glutathione (GSH) reacted with DMNQ derivative first to form a 1,4-adduct (2- or 3-glutathionyl-1,4-dihydroxy-5,8-dimethoxynaphthalenes) and then the adduct was autooxidized to 2- or 3-glutathionyl-DMNQ derivatives. Moreover, GSH reduced DMNQ derivatives to their hydrogenated products. It was suggested that such an organic reaction might play an important role for a study of metabolism or toxicity of DMNQ derivative sin the living cells.

Protein S-glutathionylation is a reversible post-translational modification on cysteine residues forming a mixed disulfide with glutathione. S-glutathionylation, not only protects proteins from oxidation but also regulates the functions of proteins involved in various cellular signaling pathways. In this study, we developed a method for the detection of S-glutathionylated proteins (ProSSG) using eosin-glutathione (E-GSH) and mouse glutaredoxin 1 (mGrx1). ProSSG was efficiently and specifically labeled with E-GSH to form ProSSG-E via thiol-disulfide exchange. ProSSG-E was readily luminescent allowing the detection of ProSSG with semi-quantitative determination. In addition, a deglutathionylation enzyme mGrx1 specifically released E-GSH from ProSSG-E, which increased fluorescence allowing a sensitive determination of ProSSG levels. Application of the method to the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells showed specific detection of ProSSG and its increase upon differentiation induction, which was consistent with the result obtained by conventional immunoblot analysis, but with greater specificity and sensitivity.
