This study investigated the changes in the nutraceutical lipid components of brown rice oil after germination. Four different high-yielding cultivars (Dasan1, Segyejinmi, Hanareum1 and Hanareum2) of Korean brown rice were selected and brown rice oil was extracted from each cultivar before and after germination. Free fatty acid, squalene, policosanols, and isomers of phytosterol were analyzed using GC, and isomers of tocols (tocopherol and tocotrienol) and ${\gamma}$-oryzanol were quantified using HPLC from both brown rice oil (BRO) and germinated brown rice oil (GBRO). The contents of phytosterol isomers, campesterol, stigmasterol, and ${\beta}$-sitosterol were increased by 8.3%, 31.6%, 3.3% in GBRO, respectively. Furthermore, the squalene content showed the highest increase of up to 2.4 fold in GBRO compared to BRO. In addition, linoleic and linolenic acid composition increased whereas oleic and palmitic acid decreased in the GRBO. However, the contents of tocols (tocopherol and tocotrienol) in GBRO were lower than those in BRO, and there was no significant difference in policosanol and ${\gamma}$-oryzanol between GBRO and BRO. These results suggest that GBRO has the potential as a healthy and functional source due to its lipid profile on improved lipid metabolism.

현대를 살고 있는 우리들은 건강함과 더불어 아름다운 피부를 갖기를 원한다. 산업화에 의한 대기 오염의 증가 및 사회가 복잡해지면서 증가하는 스트레스는 피부에 부담을 증가시키고 건강한 피부를 가졌다 하더라도 꾸준히 관리를 해야 만이 유지되기에 피부 미용에 대한 관심은 지대하다고 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 피부 미용을 위한 다양한 제품이 개발되고 있고, 특히 피부 미용은 건강 차원에서 영양과 밀접한 관련이 있다는 인식 변화에 따라 특정 영양소 성분을 이용한 먹는 화장품이나 건강 기능 식품의 개발이 진행되고 있다. 이를 위한 주된 소재로 비타민 A, C, E, Bl, B2, 나이아신, 엽산 등의 비타민류, 셀레늄, 황 등의 무기질류, 단백질 및 아미노산, 불포화 지방산, 약초 추출물 등이 이용되고 있으며 이외에도 콜라겐 단백질 분해물, 대두 추출물, 석류추출물, 포도씨 추출물, 화분 등과 수용성 키틴 등의 기능성 단일 물질을 함유한 제품도 있다. 이와 같이 다양한 식이 소재가 건강한 피부 유지를 위한 기능성 식품 소재로 이용되고 있으나 이 효과는 확실한 검증을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 피부 미용의 관점에서 이들 소재들의 효능을 살펴 피부 미용을 위한 기능성 식이 소재에 대한 이해를 도모하고자 한다.

이 연구의 목적은 Caulerpa okamurae 에탄올 추출물(COE)이 제2형 당뇨병 치료의 약물 표적 중 하나인 당 대사 및 인슐린 민감성에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이다. COE는 in vitro 실험에서 단백질 티로신 포스타제 1B (PTP1B)와 디펩티딜 펩티데이즈-IV (DPP-IV) 효소 활성을 유의하게 억제시켰다. 또한, COE는 3T3-L1 지방세포와 제브라피쉬에서 당 흡수, 인슐린 수용체 기질(IRS-1) 및 당 수송체(GLUT4) 단백의 발현을 대조군에 비해 유의하게 향상시켰다. L6 근육세포의 덱사메타손(dexamethasone)으로 유도된 인슐린 저항성 모델에서도 COE는 인슐린 신호전달 및 당 흡수 단백의 발현을 효과적으로 증가시켰다. 더불어 인슐린 저항성 지표로 알려진 IRS-1 Ser307의 인산화 활성도 COE 첨가에 의해 유의하게 억제되었다. 그러나 COE는 췌장 베타세포의 인슐린 분비에는 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았다. 결론적으로 COE는 인슐린 표적세포와 제브라피쉬에서 인슐린 신호전달과 당 수송체 GLUT4 단백 발현의 조절을 통해 당 대사 및 인슐린 민감성을 개선시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Reactive oxygen species are highly reactive oxidant molecules and react with cellular components, causing oxidative damages. These damages may play a significant role in the causation of several chronic diseases. Antioxidative defence systems are present in the body to protect cells from oxidative damages. The first line of defence include dietary antioxidants and enzymes such as superoxide dismutase. Cynanchum wilfordii Hemeseley has been used for centuries as a tonic nutraceutical in China and Korea.

Negatively charged functional organic molecules such as retinoic acid, ascorbic acid, indole acetic acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, acidic dye (indigo carmine, Food Blue 1) are intercalatively encapsulated by zinc basic salt (hydrozincite) and layered double hydroxide. Such functional organic-inorganic nanohybrids are realized via coprecipitation reaction involving simultaneous formation of layered inorganic lattice and intercalation of anionic species. The heterostructural nature of these nanohybrids, their particle morphology and textural characterizations are mainly discussed on the basis of Powder X-ray Diffraction and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy results.

Present study aimed to determine the effect of 'bitter melon', a popularly used fruit in Bangladesh and several other Asian countries, on high-fat-diet-induced type 2 diabetes. To investigate the effect, ethanol extract from bitter melon (BME) as a dietary supplement with mouse chow was used. BME was found to significantly attenuate the high-fat diet (HFD) -induced body weight and total fat mass. BME also effectively reduced the insulin resistance induced by the HFD. Furthermore, dietary supplementation of BME was highly effective in increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing hepatic fat and obesity. These results indicate that BME could be effective in attenuating type 2 diabetes and could therefore be a preventive measure against type 2 diabetes.

The current study investigated the anti-obesity effect of Cissus quadrangularsis extracts (CQR-300) and its molecular action mechanism on obese mice induced high-fat diet (HFD). To induce the obesity, mice were fed a HFD for 6 weeks and then fed HFD only or HFD with CQR-300 at 50 and 200 mg/kg. Then, body weight gain and white adipose tissue weights were measured. We investigated the reduction in body fat and the regulation of fatty acid synthesis was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and real-time PCR with Western blot, respectively. In vitro study, CQR-300 inhibited pancreatic lipase activity. The CQR-300 treatment was significantly decreased the body weight gain and adipocytes size as well as white adipose tissues weights in HFD-induced obese mice. Furthermore, CQR-300 reduced the body fat and fat mass with regulating of adipose tissue hormones as leptin. Treatment with 50 mg/kg CQR-300 showed effectively lower expression levels of adipogenesis/lipogenesis related genes and proteins such as CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ${\alpha}$ ($C/EBP{\alpha}$), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$), Sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), and fatty acid synthase (FAS) in white adipose tissue (WAT) as compared with the HFD fed only mice. These results suggest that the CQR-300 has an anti-obesity effect via inhibition of lipase activity, decrease the body fat mass by regulating the adipogenesis and lipogenesis related genes and proteins in epididymal adipose tissue with evaluate body fat reduce in the HFD-induced obese mice.

The present study focused on the production, characterization, and in vitro prebiotic evaluation of an exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Bacillus sonorensis MJM60135 isolated from ganjang (fermented soy sauce). Strain MJM60135 showed the highest production ($8.4{\pm}0.8g/l$) of EPSs compared with other isolates that were screened for EPS production based on ropy culture morphology. Furthermore, MJM60135 was cultured in 5 L of medium and the EPS was extracted by ethanol precipitation. The emulsification activity of the EPS was higher in toluene than in o-xylene. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed the presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups and glycosidic linkages. The isolated EPS contained mannose and glucose, as observed by thin-layer chromatography analysis of the EPS hydrolysate. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and pathogenic E. coli K99 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium were tested for their growth utilizing the EPS from B. sonorensis MJM60135 as the sole carbon source for its possible use as a prebiotic. All the tested LAB exhibited growth in the EPS-supplied medium compared with glucose as carbon source, whereas the pathogenic strains did not grow in the EPS-supplied medium. These findings indicate that the EPS from B. sonorensis MJM60135 has potential application in the bioremediation of hydrocarbons and could also be used as a prebiotic.

본 연구에서는 천연소재 혼합물이 혈중 지질 함량 및 부고환 지방세포의 크기에 미치는 영향을 측정하였다. 그 결과 혈액 중 총 콜레스테롤과 LDL 콜레스테롤은 천연소재 섭취에 의한 유의적인 감소 효과가 나타나지 않았지만, 중성지방은 정상식이군에서 감소하였고 HDL 콜레스테롤은 정 상식이군에서 증가하였다. 부고환 지방조직은 고지방식이 섭취에 의해 지방세포 크기가 유의적으로 증가되었으나 천연소재 섭취로 인하여 유의적으로 감소하였다. 이는 천연소재섭취에 의해 체지방 축적이 억제되어 지방세포의 hypertrophy를 억제했기 때문으로 사료된다.
