Conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) is a collective term for a group of positional (c8, c10; c9, c11; c10, c12, and c11, c13) and geometric(cis,cis; cis,trans; trans,cis; and trans,trans) isomers of octadecadienoic acid (linoleic acid) with conjugated double bond system. CLA has been shown to have a variety of biological effects. Major effects of CLA on health, such as anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, anti-atherosclerosis and improving immuno-responses, might be derived or partially derived from the alternated lipid metabolism after CLA feeding. Most of studies on the effect of CLA on fat metabolism are concentrated on rats, mice, pigs and other mammals. The CLA inhibited carcinogen-induced neoplasia in several animal models and inhibited the proliferation of human malignant melanoma, colorectal and breast cancer cells and CLA reduced the atherosclerosis. Several studies have determined the antioxidant property of CLA; however, the property still remains controversial. Some of the studies have shown that CLA acted as an antioxidant, whereas some other studies have demonstrated that CLA might be a prooxidant. Several studies suggested that CLA could reduce fat accumulation in mammals. CLA was suggested to promote muscle growth and reduce fat deposition in mouse, and improve feed efficiency in rats. CLA has been shown to inhibit the activity of stearoyl-CoA reductase. CLA also reduced the content of arachidonic acid. Since arachidonic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexenoic acid (DHA) are synthesized by different pathways, reducing the synthesis of arachidonic acid may not mean reducing that of EPA and DHA. Many sutdies have been shown biological effects of CLA. Therefore, further research is needed to answer the following questions: 1) how to synthesize the new CLA by new methods, 2) why CLA has shown biological effects, 3) how to increase CLA effects in animal products.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of diet supplementation with rubber seed oil and flaxseed oil on serum fatty acids profile, oxidation stability of serum and milk, and immune function of dairy cows. Methods: Forty-eight mid-lactation Holstein dairy cows were randomly assigned to one of four treatments for 8 wk, including basal diet (CON) or the basal diet supplemented with 4% rubber seed oil (RO), 4% flaxseed oil (FO) or 2% rubber seed oil plus 2% flaxseed oil (RFO) on a dry matter basis. Results: Compared with CON, all the oil groups increased the levels of trans-11 C18:1 (vaccenic acid), cis-9, trans-11 C18:2 (conjugated linoleic acid, CLA) and C18:3 (${\alpha}$-linolenic acid, ALA) in serum. Both the activity of glutathione peroxidase and catalase in serum and milk in oil groups were decreased, which were negatively correlated with the levels of cis-9, trans-11 CLA and ALA. The concentrations of proinflammatory factors (tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$ and interferon ${\gamma}$) in serum of oil groups were lower than that from the CON cows. Conclusion: These results indicate that diet supplementation with RO or FO could alter serum fatty acid profile and enhance the immune function of dairy cows. However, the negative effect on milk oxidation stability should be considered when feeding these n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid-enriched oils in dairy production.

The oxidation of purified pinenut oil containing various concentration of tocopherols and β-carotene were studied. α-tocopherol revealed an antioxidant activity at the concentration of lower than 0.05%, however, it showed a prooxidant activity when the concentration was higher than 0.05%. The antioxidant activity of γ-tocopherol was not affected by the concentraitons in the range of 0.01∼0.10% in pinenut oil. γ -Tocopherol resulted in higher antioxidant activity than that of α-tocopherol. β -carotene seemed to be a prooxidant when 0.01% of β-carotene was added. The fatty acids composition of purified pinenut oil have been changed during autoxidation. The concentration of linoleic acid decreased readly while oleic acid seemed to increase. And the concentration of saturated fatty acid has'nt been changed much during autoxidation.

The effect of lipoxygenase (LOX) on the oxidation and co-oxidation of lipid fraction was studied in the model system of rainbow trout. For the reaction in model system 1 g of lipid fraction and 50mL of enzyme extract(LOX, 140 unit in 50mL phosphate buffer solution at pH 7,4)), which were obtained from rainbow trout, were homoginized in the presence of Tween 20 and kept at 23$\circ$C for 3 days. The activity of LOX was decreased to 43% of initial level during the reaction in the model system. The initial composition of rainbow trout lipid was showed to be consisted of trigliceride(TG;82%) and free fatty acid(FFA;0.1%), while this converted to 59% of TG and 20% of FIFA, respectively after reaction in model system. Change of fatty acid composition was also observed and the content of linoleic acid, one of the major fatte acids, was decreased to 13% from 54% in the content of total fatty acids after reaction. The carotenoids in rainbow trout were composed of 0.4% $\alpha$-carotene, 1.6% $\beta$ -carotene, 80% canthaxanthin, 7% lutein and 11% zeaxanthin, thus the canthaxanthin was the major component. This canthaxanthin was the most degraded carotenoid by lipoxygenase catalyzed co-oxidation during the reaction. On the other hand the tocopherol isomers found in the rainbow trout were $\alpha$ and $\beta$ -tocopherol, and $\alpha$-tocopherol had a higher degradation rate by the lipoxygenase catalyzed co-oxidation than of $\beta$-tocopherol in the reaction of model system.

The antioxidative effect of leaves of Cedrela sinensis on 0.1M-linoleic acid was compared with some commercial antioxidants during storage at 50$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours, and on soybean oils at 60$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ for 30days. In the oxidation of linoleic acid, antioxidative effects of various leaves of Cedrela sinensis extracts and other antioxidants were shown in the following orders: 3% leave of Cedrela sinensis methanol extract＞1% leave of Cedrela sinensis methanol extract＞0.02% BHT＞3% leave of Cedrela sinensis ethyl acetate extract＞0.5% leave of Cedrela sinensis methanol extract＞0.02% tocopherol＞leave of Cedrela sinensis methanol extract 0.1, 0.02%＞leave of Cedrela sinensis ethyl acetate extract 1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.02%＞control, while in the oxidation of soybean oil, 1% leave of Cedrela sinengis methanol extract＞0.02% BHT＞3% leave of Cedrela sinengis methanol extract＞0.02% tocopherol＞control. The relative antioxidant effectiveness (RAE) were shown to be available in all substrates and the best effect was shown in substrate added compound of 3% leave of Cedrela sinensis methanol extract.

Curcuminoids in turmeric oleoresin (TO) are known to be effective antioxidants; they exhibit photosensitizing properties under light. In this study, the photoreactive properties of TO and its consequent induction of lipid peroxidation and cytotoxicity were evaluated. TO exhibited photosensitizing activities as evidenced by the reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium and by the decolorization of formazan under light, whereas light-irradiated TO did not enhance the levels of reactive oxygen species. The levels of hydroperoxide and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) were significantly elevated under a fluorescent light (10 W/m²) in corn, canola, and soybean oils containing 10-40 and 20-80 ㎍/mL of TO (p<0.05) but not in olive oil. Canola oil was the most sensitive to photo-oxidation induced by TO. The level of TBARS from linoleic acid in the oil in water system was, however, decreased by TO under light. The cytotoxicity effect of TO on melanoma cells was also substantially enhanced under light.

Skin is continously exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the major cause of skin disorders including skin aging. Chlorophylls were well known as photosensitizer initiating subsequent chemical reactions such as photooxidative deterioration of cellular structures. This experiment was designed to elucidate the effects of $\beta$-carotene and ascorbic acid with chlorophylls on UVB-induced photooxidation in linoleic acid emulsion model system and skin homogenate of ICR mouse. In linoleic acid emulsion model system, the addition of chlorophyll and $\beta$-carotene accelerated the photooxidation, while high concentration of ascorbic acid prevented. The combination of chlorophylls, $\beta$-carotene and ascorbic acid, which concentrations are simplified from mustard leaf kimchi, prevented UVB-induced photooxidation. Although single treatment of $\beta$-caretene accelerated photooxidaiton, $\beta$-caretene acted as antioxidant in the combination with ascorbic acid. Similarly the addition of individual chlorophylls and $\beta$-carotene accelerated the UVB-induced photooxidation in skin homogenate of ICR mouse. 50 ppm of ascorbic acid did not show the any preventive effect, however 500 ppm of ascorbic acid effectively prevented the oxidation. Photooxidation was prevented in the combination of chlorophylls and $\beta$-carotene with 500 ppm of ascorbic acid and concentration rate of ascorbic acid plays an important role in the prevention of UVB-induced photooxidation.
