The effects of different dietary fatty acids on the hepatic glutathione S-transferase(GST-P) positive foci and glutathione related enzyme system were investigated in carcinogen treated rats. Weaning male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups and fed the diets of 15% corn(CO), perilla(PO), and sardine oil(SO), respectively. Hepatocellular carcinogenesis was initiated with diethylnitrosamine(DEN) and then fed the diet containing 0.02% 2-acetylaminofluorene(2-AAF) followed by 0.05% phenobarbital for 10 weeks. The hepatic tissues were homogenized and centrifugated to prepare microsomal and cytosolic fractions. The enzyme activities of hepatic glutathione S-transferase(GST), glutathione reductase(GR), and glutathione peroxidase(GPx) were determined from cytosolic fractions. The number of GST-P hyperplastic nodules was the highest in corn oil group at 6th week, the early stage of hyperplastic nodule formation. GST activities were increased significantly by carcinogens in all dietary groups after 6th wk. GR activities followed the same trend as GST activities. GPx activities were decreased by carcinogens in all dietary groups at 10th week. In this experiment, corn oil diet may have promotive effect on hyperplastic nodule formation during the early promotional stages of chemical carcinogenesis.

오존의 처리에 의한 식물체의 항산화 제거 시스템에 관여하는 항산화효소의 활성도 변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다.저분자(低分子)의 항산화물질(抗酸化物質)인 아스코브산은 은하콩과 삼남콩 공히 오존의 노출시간(露出時間)이 길어질수록 서서히 감소(減少)하는 경향(傾向)을 보였으며 환원형(還元形) 글루타치온의 함량변화(含量變化)는 은하콩에서는 거의 증가가 없었으나 삼남콩의 경우는 오존처리 1시간 이후(以後)부터 상당한 증가(增加)가 있었다. Ascorbate peroxidase의 활성도(活性度)는 은하콩에서는 오존처리 초기(初期)부터 서서히 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)을 보였으나 삼남콩의 경우는 처리 4시간 이후에 급격하게 증가하는 경향(傾向)을 보였다. Glutathione reductase활성도(活性度)는 은하콩은 오존처리 3시간까지는 서서히 증가(增加)하다가 그 이후(以後)에 급격(急激)하게 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)이었으며, 삼남콩은 활성증가(活性增加)가 뚜렷하지 않았다. Dehydroascorbate reductase의 활성도(活性度)는 두 품종(品種) 공히 오존처리시 대조구(對照區)보다 활성(活性)이 낮게 나타났으며 처리 3시간 이후(以後)부터 활성(活性)이 크게 감소(減少)하였다. Monodehydrosascorbate reductase는 두 품종(品種) 공히 처리초기부터 활성증가(活性增加)가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 삼남콩의 경우에는 2시간 처리(處理)시 급격(急激)한 증가(增加)를 보이다가 일정(一定)하게 유지(維持)되는 경향(傾向)을 나타내었다. 은하콩의 Ascorbate peroxidase 동위효소(同位酵素)의 패턴변화는 0.2ppm의 오존의 처리(處理)시 5개의 활성 밴드가 확인되었고 Rf 0.18위치의 밴드가 새로 형성되었으며 Rf 0.38의 밴드가 약해지며 0.48위치의 활성 밴드가 강하게 나타났다.

Water extract from Cnidii Rhizoma (CRW) was tested for colon cancer chemopreventive activity by measuring the induction of phase II detoxification enzyme activity [quinone reductase (QR) and glutathione S-transferase (GST)] and glutathion (GSH) levels and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in cultured human colorectal adenocarcinoma HT-29 cells. CRW inhibited cell proliferation in cultured HT-29 cells. CRW induced QR activity in a dose-dependent manner in a concentration range of 0.1${\sim}$5.0 $mg/m{\ell}$. GST activity was also induced with the treatment of CRW in HT-29 cells. In addition GSH levels was increased with CRW. CRW inhibited ODC activity, a key enzyme of polyamine biosynthesis, which is enhanced in tumor promotion. These results suggest that CRW has colon cancer chemopreventive activity by increasing phase II enzyme activity and GSH levels and inhibiting ODC activity in vitro.

본 연구는 $H_2O_2$ 축적이 수반되는 잎의 노쇠현상과 관련하여 세포질내 ascorbate-glutathione 회로의 역할 가능성과 이때 benzyladenine(BA)의 효과를 밝히기 위하여 노쇠중인 밀 잎에서 시토졸 ascorbate peroxidase(APX) isozyme 분리 및 발달양상과 ascorbate-glutathione 회로 구성효소들의 활성도 변화를 조사하였다. 성숙한 밀 제1엽 절편을 4일간 암배양하는 동안 증가된 엽록소 분해 및 $H_2O_2$ 축적으로 규정되는 잎의 노쇠발달중 대조구 잎에서는 시토졸 APX 활성도의 유의성 있는 증가가 관찰되지 않았으며 dehydroascorbate reductase(DHAR)의 활성도는 급격히 감소되었고, glutathione reductase(GR) 활성도는 완만하게 증가하였다. 그러나 BA로 처리된 잎에서는 시토졸 APX 활성도가 현저하게 증가하였으며 DHAR 활성도의 감소가 지연되어 나타났고 GR 활성도의 증가는 대조구에 비해 증진되었으며 내재성 ascorbate 함량의 감소율과 H2O2 축적이 억제되었다. 3개의 시토졸 APX isozyme이 native-PAGE법에 의해 노쇠중인 밀 잎에서 발견되었으며 그 중 2개 isozyme은 높은 활성도를 보였다. 시토졸 APX isozyme의 발달양상의 경우 4일간의 암배양 동안 대조구 잎에서는 단지 2개의 isozyme band("a"와 "b")가 거의 같은 활성도를 지닌 채 출현하였으나 BA로 처리된 잎에서는 추가로 1개의 약한 isozyme band("c")가 더 나타났으며 "b" isozyme의 활성도가 약간 촉진되었다 그러나 "a" isozyme 활성도는 대조구 잎에 비해 암배양시간 경과에 따라 현저하게 발달하였다. 대조구 잎과 비교시 BA로 처리된 잎에서는 시토졸 APX isozyme의 발달 및 APX, DHAR, GR의 전체 활성도가 함께 증진되어 그 결과 $H_2O_2$ 제거능력이 증대된 본 실험의 결과는 ascorbate-glutathione 회로가 밀 잎의 노쇠과정에 중요하게 작용하고 있음을 제시하였다.

Dithiocarbamate and mixed disulfide containing allyl functions were designed and synthesized as putative chemopreventive agents, i.e. N,N-diallyldithiocarbamate (DATC) and S-(N,N-diallyldithiocarbamoyl)-N-acetylcysteine (AC-DATC). DATC and AC-DATC were administered and the activities of cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR) and microsomal N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) deethylase were assayed in order to test the effects of these organosulfur com-pounds on the detoxification and metabolic activation system of NDEA. The amounts of hepatic glutathione (GSH and GSSG) was also determined. The administration of DATC to rats led to an increase in the activity of GR and to an inhibition of CYP2E1-mediated NDEA deethylation. AC-DATC induced the activity of GR and GST, increased the hepatic GSH content and inhibited the rate of NDEA deethylation. The level of GSSG was decreased as a consequence of the increased activity of GR. These effects may contribute to possible antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic action of the dithiocarbamates investigated.

수태는 많은 신체적인 기능들의 높은 에너지 요구 및 산소요구량 증가로 인하여 생리적인 변화를 수반한다. 때문에 산소 섭취량 및 이용이 증가하여 산화적인 스트레스의 증가를 기대할 수 있다. 수태중에 발생되는 free radical에 대하여 홍삼사포닌 투여가 간 항산화효소의 활성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 수태중에 superoxide dismutase(SOD)의 활성은 전반적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 사포닌 투여군은 대조군에 비하여 유의한 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 그리고 glutathione peroxidase(GPX) , gluthatione reductase (GRD)와 catalase의 활성도는 수태중에 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 반면에 사포닌 투여군은 대조군 비하여 GRD 및 catalase의 활성도에 유의한 변화를 나타냈다. 사포닌 투여군의 GPX의 활성도는 대조군에 비하여 감소하는 경향이 다소 적게 나타났다. 수태중 대조군의 glutathione-S-transferase (GST) 활성도는 항상성을 유지하기 위해 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 사포닌 투여군도 대조군에 비하여 이 효소의 활성도가 더욱 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 분만 후 대조군 및 사포닌 투여군은 정상수준으로 회복되었다. 수태와 같은 생체변화에도 불구하고 수태한 흰쥐의 간 항산화 효소활성에 대한 사포닌의 영향은 산소독성에 대하여 모체간을 보호해주는 생리적 항상성의 적응메카니즘에 의하여 조절되는 것으로 보인다.

This study was undertaken to estimate seasonal variation of riboflavin status and investigate the relationship between riboflavin intake and its biochemical status in rural women. Dietary intake was measured by determining both 24hr recall method and conventient method. The riboflavin intake was also estimated by food frequency method. Ribofiavin biochemeical status was assessed by erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient(EGR AC) and urinary riboflavin excretion. All information was repeatly collected in three seasons ; farming season (June), harvest season(October), nonfarming season(February). Mean daily riboflavin intake was below RDA for Koreans in all seasons. Cereal & pulse, vegetable were the primary sources of riboflavin intake and provided above 60% of the total dietary riboflavin intake in all seasons. Riboflavin biochemical status was significantly different among seasons(EGR AC P<0.005, 24hr urinary riboflavin excretion P<0.05), and riboflavin biochemical deficiency was highest in February. The mean values of EGR AC revealed riboflavin deficiency in all seasons. However the mean values of urinary riboflavin excretion were within the normal range except 24hr urinary riboflavin excretion in February. On the basis of EGR AC criteria, 44.7% of subjects were at risk of deficiency in June, 44.7% in October, 81.6% in February. Result of individual riboflavin status assessed by EGR AC or 24hr urinary riboflavin excretion criteria was quite alike. Urinary riboflavin excretion per gram of creatinine underestimated riboflavin deficiency. Significant correlations were observed among biochemical indexes. It also appeared that riboflavin intake measured by food frequency method showed significant correlation with biochemical indexes, especially high correlation with EGR AC (P<0.001). The results indicated that the prevalence of riboflavin deficiency seems to be high among rural women in all seasons and the inadequacy of dietary riboflavin intake was reflected in the abnormalcy of riboflavin biochemical status assessed by EGR, AC. Therefore EGR AC seems to be more sensitive measure of impaired riboflavin status compared to urinary excretion.

Chromium (Cr) toxicity is hazardous to the seed germination, growth, and development of plants. ${\gamma}$-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid and is involved in stress tolerance in plants. To investigate the effects of GABA in alleviating Cr toxicity, we treated eight-d-old mustard (Brassica juncea L.) seedlings with Cr (0.15 mM and 0.3 mM $K_2CrO_4$, 5 days) alone and in combination with GABA ($125{\mu}M$) in a semi-hydroponic medium. The roots and shoots of the seedlings accumulated Cr in a dose-dependent manner, which led to an increase in oxidative damage [lipid peroxidation; hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) content; superoxide ($O{_2}^{{\cdot}-}$) generation; lipoxygenase (LOX) activity], MG content, and disrupted antioxidant defense and glyoxalase systems. Chromium stress also reduced growth, leaf relative water content (RWC), and chlorophyll (chl) content but increased phytochelatin (PC) and proline (Pro) content. Furthermore, supplementing the Cr-treated seedlings with GABA reduced Cr uptake and upregulated the non-enzymatic antioxidants (ascorbate, AsA; glutathione, GSH) and the activities of the enzymatic antioxidants including ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glyoxalase I (Gly I), and glyoxalase II (Gly II), and finally reduced oxidative damage. Adding GABA also increased leaf RWC and chl content, decreased Pro and PC content, and restored plant growth. These findings shed light on the effect of GABA in improving the physiological mechanisms of mustard seedlings in response to Cr stress.

Induction of NAD(P)H:(quinone-acceptor) oxidoreductase (QR) which promotes obligatory two electron reduction of quinones and prevents their participation in oxidative cycling and thereby the depletion of intracellular glutathione, has been used as a marker for chemopreventive agents. Induction of phase II enzyme is considered to be an important mechanism of cancer prevention. In our previous study, we assessed the quinone reductase QR-inducing activities of 216 kinds of medicinal herb extracts in cultured murine hepatoma cells, BPRc1 and hepalc1c7 cells. Among the 216 herbal extracts tested in that study, extracts from Chrysanthemum zawadskii showed significant induction of QR. In this study, we examined QR-inducing activity of solvent fractions of the herbal extract. The dichloromethane fraction of the herb showed the highest QR induction among the samples fractionated with four kinds of solvents with different polarity. The fraction also significantly induced the activity of glutathione S-transferase (GST), one of the major detoxifying enzymes, at $4{\mu}g/mL\;and\;2{\mu}g/mL$ in hepalc1c7 and BPRc1 cells, respectively. In conclusion, dichloromethane-soluble fraction of Chrysanthemum zawadskii which showed relatively strong induction of detoxifying enzymes merits further study to identify active components and evaluate their potential as cancer preventive agents.
