This study was investigated the effects on the radical scavenging activities and hepatic lipid levels in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD) by the 70% ethanolic extract from Rubus coreanus. The Rubus coreanus extract (RCE) was administered through the gastrointestinal tract at 150 mg/kg BW/day for 5 weeks (HFD+RCE). Total phenol content was 157.93 mg gallic acid/g in the RCE. Scavenging activities to DPPH, ABTS, an d hydroxyl radicals by RCE significantly increased in a does-dependent manner of $50{\sim}500{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were over the 70% in the $500{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. During the five weeks study, the food efficiency ratio was no significant differences between the HFD and HFD+RCE. Liver weight of HFD+RCE (3.75 g/100 g BW) was significantly decreased compared to those of the HFD. Hepatic triglyceride and total cholesterol levels of HFD+RCE were significantly lower compared to those of the HFD. The hepatic TBARS contents in the HFD+RCE was significantly decreased to the HFD, radical scavenging activity was markedly increased in HFD+RCE as normal group. In histological observation of liver tissues, the hepatocytes of HFD+RCE appeared the reduced aspects on the size and numbers of lipid droplets in cytoplasm compared to the HFD. Our results suggest that RCE could have antioxidant activities and hepatic hypolipidemic effects by its phenolic compounds.

The aim of this study was to measure and compare polyphenol content, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity of six halophytes (Limonium tetragonum, Suaeda glauca, Suaeda japonica, Salicornia europaea, Triglochin maritimum, and Sonchus brachyotus). Depending on the total polyphenol content, the plants were categorized into two groups: (1) a high total polyphenol content group that included L. tetragonum, S. brachyotus, and S. europaea, and, (2) a low total polyphenol content group consisting of S. glauca, T. maritima, and S. japonica. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays, and by measuring ROS. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by measuring NO and $PGE_2$. L. tetragonum and S. brachyotus, that have high polyphenol content, also showed strong antioxidant activity. In addition, L. tetragonum, S. brachyotus, and S. europaea showed good anti-inflammatory activity. Consequently, the total polyphenol content was thought to be related to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Therefore, S. brachyotus and L. tetragonum are good candidates for use in pharmaceuticals and functional foods.

The water extract of Saururus chinensis was investigated for oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), reducing capacity, metal chelating activity, and intracellular antioxidant activity using HepG2 cell. When 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) was used for the generation of peroxyl radicals in vitro, S. chinensis extract (SC-E) showed the strong and concentration-dependent scavenging activity through donating protons which could be explained by its reducing property. When hydroxyl radicals were generated in vitro through the addition of $Cu^{2+}$ and $H_2O_2$, SC-E demonstrated the antioxidant activity depending on its concentration. In HepG2 cell model, most of intracellular oxidative stress generated by AAPH was efficiently removed by SC-E. However, when $Cu^{2+}$ without $H_2O_2$ was used as an oxidant in the intracellular assay, SC-E partially reduced the oxidative stress caused by $Cu^{2+}$ in cellular antioxidant activity assay system. These results indicate that SC-E could be utilized for the development of functional foods as antioxidant resource in the near future.

Methods : The antioxidant activity concerning extract from SA was studied with in vitro methods by measuring the antioxidant activity by TEAC, measuring the scavenging effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) [superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical] and on reactive nitrogen species (RNS) [nitric oxide and peroxynitrite] as well as measuring the inhibitory effect on $Cu^{2+}$-induced human LDL oxidation and the inhibitory effect on thrombin-induced platelet aggregation and thrombosis. Results : SA extracts were found to have a potent scavenging activity regarding oxidative stress as well as an inhibitory effect towards LDL oxidation, platelet aggregation, and thrombosis. Conclusions : The SA extracts have anti-oxidative and anti-atherosclerotic effects in vitro system, which can be used for developing pharmaceutical drugs against oxidative stress and atherosclerosis.

본 연구에서는 솔방울을 새로운 천연 식물자원으로서의 이용 가치를 평가하기 위해 솔방울 ethyl acetate 분획물의 항산화 활성과 DNA 손상억제 효과를 조사하였다. 솔방울 ethyl acetate 분획물의 DPPH, Fe²⁺ 킬레이팅 및 환원력 활성은 대조군인 L-ascorbic acid와 유사한 활성을 나타내었다. 특히 ABTS 소거 활성의 IC₅₀값은 L-ascorbic acid (10.49 ㎍/㎖)에 비해 솔방울 ethyl acetate 분획물(7.80 ㎍/㎖)이 더욱 높은 활성을 보였다. 또한 총페놀성 화합물과 비타민 C 함량은 각각 27.3 ㎎/g, 1.8 ㎎/g로 나타났다. Hydroxyl radical과 fenton reaction에 의한 산화적 DNA 손상억제 효과는 모든 농도에서 50% 이상의 높은 손상 억제 효과를 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 통한 솔방울 ethyl acetate 분획물의 항산화 활성과 산화적 DNA 손상 억제 효과 입증은 다소 부가가치가 낮게 평가되어온 솔방울은 식품이나 천연 의약품 분야에 새로운 천연소재로써의 활용가치가 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Objective : This study was designed to investigate the anti-oxidative effects of Oldenlandiae Diffusae Herba Water extract (ODHW) on lipid peroxidation by free radicals oxidative hepatic injury. Methods : In order to evaluate anti-oxidative activities of ODHW in the liver cell, cultured normal rat liver cells(Ac2F) were incubated with or without ODHW. After 16 hours to 18 hours of experiment, cells were placed in DMEM medium without serum, and then incubated with 1mM tert-butyl hydro-peroxide(t-BHP) for two hours. Viable cells were detected by MTT assay. The levels of LPO induced by hydroxyl radical derived from H2O2-Fe2+ system in rat liver homogenate were determined by means of TBA. Inhibitory effect of ODHW on superoxide generation was measured by xanthine-xanthine oxidase system. Results : In the linoleic acid autoxidation system, ODHW exhibited antioxidant activity, which inhibited 85% of linoleic acid peroxidation. These effects were similar to those of dl-a-tocopherol. ODHW showed scavenging effects on DPPH radical, inhibited superoxide generation in xanthine-xanthine oxidase system, and also inhibited lipid peroxidation of rat liver tissue with hydroxyl radical derived from $H_2O_2-Fe^{2+}$ system. In addition, ODHW protected the cell death induced by t-BHP and it significantly increased cell viability in a normal rat liver cell(Ac2F)
