Chromium is an essential nutrient and participates in glucose and lipid metabolism in human beings and animals. The present study was conducted to assess the effects of chromium picolinate (Cr-pic) on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in type I and ll diabetic rats. The experimental groups were type I diabetic (streptozotocin-induced: 40 mg/kg, i.p.) and type II diabetic (Goto-Kakizaki rats) models. Each group was subdivided into control. low-dose and high-dose of Cr-pic treated groups. The Cr-pic was orally administered with Cr-pic (100 mg/kg for low dose group and 200 mg/kg for high dose group) for 4 weeks. And then we performed intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) and insulin sensitivity test (ITT). The glucose tolerance test was carried out by inection of glucose (2 g/kg, i.p.). The peripheral insulin sensitivity test was con- ducted by injection of insulin (5 units/kg, s.c.) and glucose. We performed determining of blood glucose concentration at 0, 10, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min using automated glucose analyzer. The plasma insulin concentration was determined by rat insulin EIA kit. Administration of Cr-pic improved weight gain in all group s with higher significant in the low-dose group. There was no significance between the control and the Cr-pic treated groups in the area under the blood glucose curve and serum insulin concentration plots of IPGTT and peripheral ITT in type I diabetic rats. But Cr-pic treated groups showed significantly lower levels of the area under the blood glucose currie during IPGTT and ITT and the high-dose group showed less effects compared with the low-dose group in the type II diabetic rats. The plasma insulin concentration of both diabetic groups was not influenced by Cr-pic supplementation. We can conclude that chromium picolinate may improve the endogenous and exogenous insulin action and peripheral insulin sensitivity in type II diabetic rats.

유전자 재조합 대장균을 이용하여 pyruvate dehydrogenase complex-E2 특이성 인간 모노클론 항체의 Fab부분이 생산되 었다. 재조합 대장균의 고밀도 배양과 이를 통한 재조합 인 간 항체의 고생산성을 확보하기 위한 최적 전략을 개발하기 위해 포도당과 초산의 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 포도당의 농 도가 높을수록 세포의 성장속도는 빨라지고 포도당의 소모속 도도 빨라짐을 알 수 있었다, 이때 포도당의 소모속도가 빨 라질수록 초산의 대사 부산물로서의 생성속도도 빨라졌다. 그러나 포도당이 고갈되면 일단 축적된 초산은 에너지원으로 소모되기 시작하고 이때의 소모속도는 배지내의 포도당의 농 도에 의존함을 알 수 있었다. 즉 초기 포도당의 농도가 어느 정도 높아 잔존 포도당의 농도가 높은 경우, 초산의 생성 속 도는 높고 에너지원으로 소모되는 속도는 느려져서 초산의 축적현상이 기하급수적으로 증가한다. 이렇게 높은 포도당 농도에 따라 축적된 초산은 항체 생산을 저해하였고, 저해를 위한 임계 초산 농도는$0.6g/\ell$이었다. 발현에 의해 항체를 생산하는 시기에서는, 포도당 농도가 높을수록 세포성장이 증대되나 초산에 의 한 저해 현상 및 catabolic repression의 영 향으로 항체 생산이 감소하였다. 따라서 발현 후 항체의 생산을 증진시키기 위해서는 포도당과 초산의 농도를 가능한 한 낮게 유지하는 것이 중요하다. 그러므로 고말도 배양과 재조합 인간 항체의 높은 생산성을 확보하기 위해서는 배양 액내의 포도당과 초산의 농도를 정밀하게 조절하는 것이 절실히 요구된다.

사람의 섬유아세포인 GM10을 사용하여 glucose의 배양조건에 다른 물질대사 및 IGFBP-3 발현을 살펴본 결과, glucose 농도에 따른 glucose 소비와 triglyceride 축적 수준은 고농도 glucose 배양 조건에서 증가한 반면, 총 단백질 함량은 고농도 glucose배양 조건에서 시간의 경과에 따라 감소하였다. 또한 고농도 glucose 배양 조건에서 5일 동안 배양한 세포 배양액내의 유리아미노산 함량은 저농도보다 고농도 glucose 배양 조건에서 높게 나타났다. IGFBP-3 단백질 수준과 mRNA수준은 저농도 glucose배양 조건에서 증가하였으나, IGFBP-3 단백질 분해효소에 따른 영향은 없었다. 이상의 결과에서 glucose 배양조건에 따른 물질대사는 부분적으로 세포를 이용한 당뇨병 모델 실험에서 in vivo와 같은 결과를 얻지 못하였지만, IGFs와 같은 세포 성장인자에 대한 연구를 통해 세포수준의 당뇨병 모델화가 가능하다고 여겨진다.

The purpose of this study is to examine to control of glucose level and the occurrence of chronic complications of diabetes by compliance groups with health care regimen The subjects were consisted of 300 out patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from beginning of March through the end of April in 2001, who visited at the endocrinology department at Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital of Catholic University in Seoul. The patient's compliance level with health care regimen was assessed at questionnaire. However, the blood glucose level and the occurrence of chronic complications of diabetes were assessed at medical record review. The data were analyzed by SAS program for chi square test and t-test. The results were as follows. 1. Significant differences were found among the factors such as duration of diabetes, the number of participation of diabetes educational program, job, smoking, self monitoring of blood glucose and the methods of diabetes therapy between high and low compliance groups. High compliance group patients had a diabetes longer than low compliance group patients. High compliance group patients more frequently attended the educational program and checked themselves monitoring blood glucose than low compliance group patients. Also, they did not work recently, smoked less and got more insulin injection therapy compared to low compliance group patients. 2. No significant differences were found among the result of fasting blood glucose. 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, and $HbA_{l}c}$ between high and low compliance groups. 3. The occurrence rate of macrovascular complications of chronic complications of diabetes were lower, however, the occurrence rate of microvascular complications were higher in high compliance group than in low compliance group with health care regimen.

Even though coix (Coix lachryma-jobi L. var. ma-yuen) has many physiological effects, since it has been known to cause sterility, farmers avoid using coix bran as a forage for their livestock. Therefore, as the consumption of coix increases, coix bran, which is a by product of pounding process, becomes a serious issue of environmental problem. Present study examined the physiological effects of coix bran in normal and diabetic rats for its possible use as a functional material. The effects of coix bran supplementation on plasma and hepatic lipid profile were evaluated in rats fed one of the following diet for 12 weeks : chow diet ; chow-bran diet (chow diet＋25% coix bran), high fat diet and high fat-bran diet (high fat diet＋25% coix bran). Additionally, glucose challenge and lipid metabolism in streptozotocin-diabetic rats were also examined. In normal rats, consumption of coix bran remarkably reduced body weight gain in chow or high fat diet fed rats. Additionally, consumption of coix branreduced blood TG, TC and atherogenic index (26%, 24% and 72%, respectively) in chow diet fed rats. Liver TG and cholesterol concentrations were reduced (43% and 49%, respectively) in high fat fed rats by coix bran supplementation. In diabetic rats, fasting blood glucose level was reduced about 25% by coix bran consumption. Also, glucose challenge pattern was improved and resembled normal pattern : it reaches to peak 15~30 minutes after glucose administration and get back to fasting blood glucose level after 90 minutes. Plasma concentrations of TG were elevated in diabetic rats and were reduced to normal level by coix bran supplementation. Liver TG and cholesterol concentrations were also elevated in diabetic rats and reduced to normal level by consumption of coix bran. These results suggest that coix bran may have beneficial effects on blood lipid and glucose level in normal and diabetic rats.

Sweat-based glucose sensors are being widely investigated and researched as they facilitate painless and continuous measurement. However, because the concentration of sweat glucose is almost a hundred times lower than that of blood glucose, it is important to develop electrochemical sensing electrode materials that are highly sensitive to glucose molecules for the detection of low concentrations of glucose. The preparation of a flexible and ultra-sensitive sensor for detection of sweat glucose is presented in this study. Oxygen and nitrogen are removed from the surface of a polyimide film by exposure to a CO2 laser; hence, laser-induced graphene (LIG) is formed. The fabricated LIG electrode showed favorable properties of high roughness and good stability, flexibility, and conductivity. After the laser scanning, Pt nanoparticles (PtNP) with good catalytic behavior were electrodeposited and the glucose sensor thus developed, with a LIG/PtNP hybrid electrode, exhibited a high order of sensitivity and detection limit for sweat glucose.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to review the effects of exercise intervention on blood glucose control in obese type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS: The PubMed and KERISS search engines were used and 61 papers that met the key questions were selected. RESULTS: Exercise is an effective intervention for the control of blood glucose in type 2 diabetic patients because it does not impair glucose transport in the skeletal muscle induced by muscle contractions. Insulin resistance, which is characteristic of type 2 diabetes, is caused by decreased insulin sensitivity or insulin responsiveness. Acute exercise improves the glucose metabolism by increasing the insulin-independent signaling pathways and insulin sensitivity in the skeletal muscle, and regular long-term exercise improves the skeletal muscle insulin responsiveness and systemic glucose metabolism by increasing the mitochondrial and GLUT4 protein expression in the skeletal muscle. CONCLUSION: The improvement of the glucose metabolism through exercise shows a dose-response pattern, and if exercise consumes the same number of calories, high intensity exercise will be more effective for the glucose metabolism. On the other hand, it is practically difficult for a patient with obese type 2 diabetes to control their blood glucose with high intensity or long-term exercise. Therefore, it will be necessary to study safe adjuvants (cinnamic acid, lithium) that can produce similar effects to high-intensity and high-volume exercises in low-intensity and low-volume exercises.

고혈당으로 야기된 염증은 당뇨병에서 합병증을 일으키는 주된 요인이다. 최근 연구에 따르면 면역세포에서 TNF-${\alpha}$ 같은 염증성 cytokine의 과도한 생성은 인슐린 저항성을 야기시킨다고 한다. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)는 TNF-${\alpha}$ 생산에 관여하여 면역반응을 조절하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 고농도의 당으로 처리한 RAW 264.7 세포에서 TNF-${\alpha}$ 생산, NF-${\kappa}B$의 활성과 $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ 분해에 대한 CLA 효과를 검토하였다. 고농도의 당에 노출된 RAW세포는 저농도의 당에 노출된 RAW 세포보다 NF-${\kappa}B$의 활성과 $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ 분해가 증가되었으며 RAW 세포의 배양 상층액 중에 TNF-${\alpha}$ 생산을 증가시켰다. CLA와 고농도 또는 저농도의 당을 같이 처리한 군은 당만 단일 처리한 군보다 TNF-${\alpha}$ 생산, NF-${\kappa}B$의 활성 및 $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ 분해가 증가되었다. 그리고 고농도의 당과 CLA를 처리한 군에서 저농도의 당과 CLA 처리군에 비해 NF-${\kappa}B$의 활성과 $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ 분해가 증가되었으며 이와 더불어 TNF-${\alpha}$의 양이 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로부터, CLA는 고농도의 당에 노출된 RAW 세포에서 NF-${\kappa}B$의 활성을 높이고 TNF-${\alpha}$ 생산을 증가시키며 이는 고혈당으로 유발되는 염증반응을 촉진하는 인자로 작용할 수 있음을 시사하였다.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the relations and odds ratio between hs-CRP and the risk factors of metabolic syndrome according to glucose intolerance and diabetes among the residents of a rural community. Methods: The subjects include 1,968 adults aged from 40 to 70 who were divided into four groups and a diabetes group according to glucose intolerance to compare the relations and risk ratio between hs-CRP and the risk factors of metabolic syndrome. Results: The results reveal that the greater the subjects' glucose intolerance was, the higher their hs-CRP became and the more risk factors of metabolic syndrome they had. The impaired glucose tolerance group showed 1.7 times higher blood pressure than the control group. The diabetes group showed a high odds ratio with 2.3 times higher blood pressure, 2.2 times higher abdominal obesity, and 2.4 times higherW/Ht than the control group. And the odds ratio increased significantly by 1.7 times in the hs-CRP intermediate risk group and 2.5 times in the high risk group compared with the control group. Conclusion: Considering the study results, it is very important to monitor abdominal obesity, blood pressure and the intermediate and high risk group of hs-CRP in order to reduce the contraction of cardiovascular diseases.
