  • It has long been known that nutritional and environmental influences during the early developmental period affect the biological mechanisms which determine animal metabolism. This phenomenon, termed 'metabolic imprinting', can cause subtle but long-lasting responses to prenatal and postnatal nutrition and even be passed onto the next generation. A large amount of research data shows that nutrient availability, in terms of quantity as well as quality, during the early developing stages can decrease the number of newborn piglets and their body weight and increase their susceptibility to death before weaning. However, investigation of potential mechanisms of 'the metabolic imprinting' effect have been scant. Therefore, it remains unknown which factors are responsible for embryonic and early postnatal nutrition and which factors are major determinants of body weight and number of new born piglets. Intrauterine undernutrition, for example, was studied using a rat model providing dams 50% restricted nutrients during pregnancy and the results showed significant decreases in birth weight of newborns. This response may be a characteristic of a subset of modulations in embryonic development which is caused by the metabolic imprinting. Underlying mechanisms of intrauterine undernutrition and growth retardation can be explained in part by epigenetics. Epigenetics modulate animal phenotypes without changes in DNA sequences. Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, chromatin modification and small non-coding RNA-associated gene silencing. Precise mechanisms must be identified at the morphologic, cellular, and molecular levels by using interdisciplinary nutrigenomics approaches to increase pig production. Experimental approaches for explaining these potential mechanisms will be discussed in this review.

  • 가성부갑상샘기능저하증(pseudohypoparathyroidism, PHP)은 부갑상샘호르몬에 대해 표적 기관이 저항성을 가지며, 저칼슘혈증과 고인산혈증을 특징으로 하는 질병이다. PHP의 원인은 자극형 G 단백의 신호전달이 문제인데, α-아형을 인코딩하는 GNAS 유전자와 GNAS 유전자 상부의 각인 이상으로 발생한다. 가족력 없이 발생하는 산발성 PHP 1b형은 GNAS 유전자 상류 다발 지역의 메칠화 이상으로, 그 중 일부는 모계 유전형이 소실되고, 부계 유전형만이 표현된다. 본 논문에서는 간헐적 강직을 주소로 내원한 10.8세 남아에서 발생한 20번 염색체 장완의 부계 단친성 이염색체에 의한 산발성 PHP 1b형의 증례를 고찰해보고자 한다.

  • Oryeong-San, Pangpungtongseong-San, Rangkyeoksanwha-Tang, Sipeemikwanjoong -Tang and Taeumjoui-Tang are not only examined using the code which are related to overweight in the QRIS but are also investigated the level of Free Radical using the Free Radical Measurement after steeping those 5 prescriptions in water. The results are as follows: 1. We indicated in the study of QRIS that 5 kinds of medicines which used most frequently In the treatment of the obesity appeared to affect the Immune system, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, the fatigue toxicity, TSH, and the metabolic disability but did not influence high on the contents of overweight and those of fatty cell, as well. in addition, there were no significant differences between the prescriptions as regards testosterone and progesterone. 2. In the Free Radical Measurement, Rangkyeoksanwha-Tang evaluated significantly high level of Free Radical, whereas others appear to have the similar level of Free Radical. These findings suggest that the treatment of the obesity affects particular body parts with respect to the control of overweight, although those medicines are not related directly to the areas(such as fatty cell Code), it is possible that they influence on the cure for the obesity. Furthermore, they indicate that with soaking prescription, Free Radical is not produced as much as we expected.

  • Intramuscular fat (IMF) content in skeletal muscle including the longissimus dorsi muscle (LM), also known as marbling fat, is one of the most important factors determining beef quality in several countries including Korea, Japan, Australia, and the United States. Genetics and breed, management, and nutrition affect IMF deposition. Japanese Black cattle breed has the highest IMF content in the world, and Korean cattle (also called Hanwoo) the second highest. Here, we review results of research on genetic factors (breed and sex differences and heritability) that affect IMF deposition. Cattle management factors are also important for IMF deposition. Castration of bulls increases IMF deposition in most cattle breeds. The effects of several management factors, including weaning age, castration, slaughter weight and age, and environmental conditions on IMF deposition are also reviewed. Nutritional factors, including fat metabolism, digestion and absorption of feed, glucose/starch availability, and vitamin A, D, and C levels are important for IMF deposition. Manipulating IMF deposition through developmental programming via metabolic imprinting is a recently proposed nutritional method to change potential IMF deposition during the fetal and neonatal periods in rodents and domestic animals. Application of fetal nutritional programming to increase IMF deposition of progeny in later life is reviewed. The coordination of several factors affects IMF deposition. Thus, a combination of several strategies may be needed to manipulate IMF deposition, depending on the consumer's beef preference. In particular, stage-specific feeding programs with concentrate-based diets developed by Japan and Korea are described in this article.

  • 목적: 가성부갑상선기능항진증은 GNAS 부위의 돌연변이에 의해 발생하며, 여러 호르몬에 대한 저항성과 올브라이트 유전성 골이영양증을 특징으로 한다. 이 연구는 가성부갑상선기능항진증의 표현형 특성과 분자유전학적 특징을 조사하고자 하였다. 방법: 부산대학교 어린이병원에 등록된 가성부갑상선기능항진증으로 진단된 환자 8명의 임상적 특징과, 생화학적, 유전학적 검사 결과들을 포함한 의무기록을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결과: 총 8명의 환자 중 5명은 PHP1a로 진단되었고 3명은 PHP-1b로 진단되었다. PHP1a 환자는 GNAS 유전자의 3가지 서로 다른 돌연변이를 가졌고, PHPIb 환자는 DMR (differential methylated region) 각인 GNAS의 소실을 보였다. 두 개의 새로운 GNAS 변이(c.313-2A>T, c.1094G>A)가 PHP1a 환자에서 발견이 되었다. 모든 PHP1a 환자는 저신장(80%), 단지증(80%), 둥근 얼굴(80%), 비만(40%), 이소성 골화(60%), 지적 장애(60%) 등의 올브라이트 유전성 골이영양증의 특징을 보였으며, PHP1b 환자의 경우는 한 명(33.3%)만이 둥근 얼굴과 같은 올브라이트 유전성 골이영양증의 특징을 보였다. PHP1a 환자와 PHP1b 환자의 표현형 특징을 비교하였을 때, 현재 키 SDS만이 PHP1b 환자에서 PHP1a 환자보다 각각 더 높은 경향성을 보였다(P=0.06). 결론: 본 연구는 한국인 PHP 환자들의 임상적 표현형 및 유전학적 특징을 요약하였다. PHP1a와 PHP1 환자들 간에 상당한 임상적 중복이 있었지만, 다른 장기 말단 저항의 영향뿐만 아니라 PHP로 진단받은 소아의 성장과 발달을 평가하기 위해서는 더 장기적인 추적 연구가 필요하겠다.
