This study was conducted to evaluate the application of high dose irradiation for ensuring shelf stability of marinated and precooked pork rib steak in the severe environments such as desert or space, etc. Marinated and precooked pork rib steak was manufactured, vacuum-packaged and gamma-irradiated with the absorbed doses of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 kGy, and used for the tests of the growth of microorganisms and lipid oxidation during storage at 35t of acceleration condition. Any growth of microorganisms was not observed in irradiated samples after irradiation immediately. However, the growths were observed in 10, 20 and 30 kGy samples at 4, 7 and 14 day storage, respectively. High dose (40 and 50 kGy) gamma irradiation retarded the growth of aerobic microorganisms by the analysis of kinetic parameter. The content of malondialdehyde increased in all samples during storage periods, and gamma irradiation accelerated the increase of lipid oxidation. Therefore, the application of combination of the various food processing technology should be considered for the sterilization of marinated and precooked pork rib steak without any deterioration of the quality occurred by high dose irradiation.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of addition of milk minerals (2%) and α-tocopherol (0.03%) on lipid oxidation and minerals content of emulsion-type sausages. The pH values of sausage containing milk mineral alone and combined with milk mineral and α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those for control and α-tocopherol. The POV values of sausage containing combined with milk mineral and α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) lower than those of control and α-tocopherol during storage. The TBARS values of sausage containing milk mineral alone and combined with milk mineral and α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) lower then those for control and α-tocopherol. The Mg, Ca and P content of sausage containing combined with milk mineral and α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of control and the other. The K content of sausage containing α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of control and the other. Milk mineral, when used with α-tocopherol, provided no additional effect on lipid oxidation, but mineral contents were higher than those of control.

Meat model emulsions ware prepared with salt-soluble protein and soybean oil. Effects of water-soluble protein (WSP) on the meat model emulsion treated with/without BHT during 8 day storage $5^{\circ}C$ under both dark and light illumination were studied by measuring POV and TBA. An emulsion without BHA and WSP was used as a control. Under light storage, there was no significant difference in peroxide values between the control and the sample treated with BHA except the 2nd day of storage. However, TBA values of the sample treated with BHA were significantly (p<0.05) lower than those of control except the 4th day of storage. TBA and POV of the samples treated with WSP and WSP + BHA were higher than control after 4th day of storage under light. That is, water soluble protein, which was composed mainly of myoglobin, increased lipid oxidation under light storage. The similar trends were also shown in the samples stored under dark. These results suggested that acceleration of lipid oxidation of the meat model emulsions by water soluble protein (WSP) under both light and dark might not be due to the singlet oxygen formation, but due to superoxide anion formed.

This study was conducted to compare the microbial and physico-chemical quality characteristics in Kimchi-fermented sausages added with sodium nitrite (SN) and green tea extract (GTE). The sausages were fermented at $24^{\circ}C$/RH 89% for 17 hr and then dried at $10^{\circ}C$/RH 70~80% for 9 days. The total bacteria count, lactic acid bacteria count and pH value ranged from 8.7 Log CFU/g sausage, 8.1~8.3 Log CFU/g sausage and 4.35~4.36, respectively, at 9 d of ripening, but did not show significant differences during ripening among all sausages. The lipid oxidation (TBARS) was inhibited by both GTE and SN, but GTE had lower (p<0.05) inhibitory effect, compared with SN. The $b^*$ value of GTE-added sausage was higher than that of the control sausage, but $a^*$ and $b^*$ values of SN-added sausage remained higher than other sausages during ripening. Therefore, it had lower effect on lipid oxidation and color stabilities than SN while GTE improved the lipid oxidation stability in Kimchi-fermented sausage. However, both GTE and SN did not influence the growth of lactic acid bacteria.

Hepatic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to the development of steatosis and insulin resistance. The components of unfolded protein response (UPR) regulate lipid metabolism. Recent studies have reported an association between ER stress and aberrant cellular lipid control; moreover, research has confirmed the involvement of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs)-the central regulators of lipid metabolism-in the process. However, the exact role of SREBPs in controlling lipid metabolism during ER stress and its contribution to fatty liver disease remain unknown. Here, we show that SREBP-1c deficiency protects against ER stress-induced hepatic steatosis in mice by regulating UPR, inflammation, and fatty acid oxidation. SREBP-1c directly regulated inositol-requiring kinase 1α (IRE1α) expression and mediated ER stress-induced tumor necrosis factor-α activation, leading to a reduction in expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α and subsequent impairment of fatty acid oxidation. However, the genetic ablation of SREBP-1c prevented these events, alleviating hepatic inflammation and steatosis. Although the mechanism by which SREBP-1c deficiency prevents ER stress-induced inflammatory signaling remains to be elucidated, alteration of the IRE1α signal in SREBP-1c-depleted Kupffer cells might be involved in the signaling. Overall, the results suggest that SREBP-1c plays a crucial role in the regulation of UPR and inflammation in ER stress-induced hepatic steatosis.

Living organisms have antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase SE glutathione peroxidase, that protect themselves from the toxic effect of superoxide free radicals. Some report says that intracellular oxidation stress is involved in pathogenesis of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of red ginseng on lipid peroxidation of red blood cell and antioxidant SOD activity of serum in NIDDM patients. As a result, there were trends for decrease of lipid peroxidases of RBC and Increase of SOD activity of serum in ginseng group but that were not statistically significant. Therefore, we suggest long term and large sized control study is necessary to confirm the protective effects of red ginseng on oxidative damage in NIDDM patients.

Membrane lipid peroxidation processes yield reactive aldehydes that may react with copper,zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn SOD), one of the key antioxidant enzymes against oxidative stress. We investigated this possibility and found that exposing Cu,Zn SOD to malondialdehyde (MDA) or 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) caused the loss of dismutase activity, cross-linking of peptides, and an increase in protein oxidation, reflected by the increased level of carbonyl groups. When Cu,Zn SOD that had been exposed to MDA or HNE was subsequently analyzed by amino acid analysis, histidine content was found to be significantly lost. Both MDA-and HNE-treated Cu,Zn SOD were resistant to proteolysis, which may imply that damaged proteins exist in vivo for a longer period of time than the native enzyme. The lipid peroxidation-mediated damage to Cu,Zn SOD may result in the perturbation of cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms, and subsequently lead to a pro-oxidant condition.

The purpose of this study was to find the extent of lipid peroxidation of erythrocytes in cigarette smokers, and to determine the relative effectiveness of $\beta$-carotene, canthaxanthin , and $\alpha$-tocopherol as antioxidants. Thirty smokers and 30 nonsmokers participated in this study . No significant differences according to age, sex, and height were shown. Cigarette smokers in this study had higher hemoglobin concentrations and more oxidation of hemoglobin than non-smokers. In addition, the erythrocytes of cigarette smokers had significantly higher MDA concentrations than crythrocytes of nonsmokers, which suggests that smokers may have tocopherol were studied in vitro by measuring the concentration of malondialdehyde(MDA) and precent hemolysis of erythrocytes. The addition of any antioxidant to erythrocytes significantly decreased MDA concentrations(p<0.05) while antioxidants showed nonsignificant inhibition of hemolysis. Among the antioxidant used in this study, canthaxanthin showed the greatest inhibition of both lipid peroxidationand hemolysis. Meanwhile, $\alpha$-tocopherol showed potent inhibition of lipid peroxidation, but not of hemolysis.

The skeletal muscle in our body is a major site for bioenergetics and metabolism during exercise. Carbohydrates and fats are the primary nutrients that provide the necessary energy required to maintain cellular activities during exercise. The metabolic responses to exercise in glucose and lipid regulation depend on the intensity and duration of exercise. Because of the increasing prevalence of obesity, recent studies have focused on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of obesity-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Accumulation of intramyocellular lipid may lead to insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. In addition, lipid intermediates (e.g., fatty acyl-coenzyme A, diacylglycerol, and ceramide) impair insulin signaling in skeletal muscle. Recently, emerging evidence linking obesity-induced insulin resistance to excessive lipid oxidation, mitochondrial overload, and mitochondrial oxidative stress have been provided with mitochondrial function. This review will provide a brief comprehensive summary on exercise and skeletal muscle metabolism, and discuss the potential mechanisms of obesity-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.

This study was conducted to investigate the mechanism of the oxidation process of meat. In the instrumental color, redness, yellowness, and chroma showed significant differences during storage period (P<0.05), whereas hue angle increased (P<0.05), but no significant difference in lightness(P>0.05). The results of TBARS increased significantly during storage period (P<0.05). The thiol and carbonyl contents increased significantly during storage period(P<0.05). Metabolites analysis showed that lactic acid, proline, phenylalanine, mannose, talose, lysine, and tyrosine were significantly different with the storage periods (P<0.05). All the samples used in the experiment were able to confirm that sample went through normal oxidation process with indicators and components were increased or decreased. Further research is needed to study the correlation between metabolite materials.
