Fruits of Arctium lappa L. (Compositae), which has been used as the antiinflammatory, detoxifying and diuretic agents in the folk remedies, was examined on the in vitro oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL). Several lines of evidence indicate that oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) may promote atherogenesis. Hence. The role of antioxidants in the prevention of LDL oxidation needs to be determined. The activity of fractions of Arctii Fructus treated with oxidized LDL which was incubated with $16\;{\mu}M$ of $Cu^{2+}$ for metal catalyzed oxidation was investigated. The BuOH fraction (4\;ppm) inhibited the oxidative modification of LDL as evidenced by a decrease in the lipid peroxide content (thiobarbituric acid reacting substances activity), the negative charge of LDL (electrophoretic mobility) and increase of the vitamine E content.

The importance of lipids in cell signaling and tissue physiology is demonstrated by the many CNS pathologies involving deregulated lipid metabolism. One such critical metabolic event is the activation of phospholipase $A_2$ ($PLA_2$), which results in the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids and the release of free fatty acids, including arachidonic acid, a precursor for essential cell-signaling eicosanoids. Reactive oxygen species (ROS, a product of arachidonic acid metabolism) react with cellular lipids to generate lipid peroxides, which are degraded to reactive aldehydes (oxidized phospholipid, 4-hydroxynonenal, and acrolein) that bind covalently to proteins, thereby altering their function and inducing cellular damage. Dissecting the contribution of $PLA_2$ to lipid peroxidation in CNS injury and disorders is a challenging proposition due to the multiple forms of $PLA_2$, the diverse sources of ROS, and the lack of specific $PLA_2$ inhibitors. In this review, we summarize the role of $PLA_2$ in CNS pathologies, including stroke, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Multiple sclerosis-Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and Wallerian degeneration.

뇌 세포막 유동성의 촉진 및 LPO생성의 억제효과는 중풍 등 뇌혈관질환을 억제할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 혈관성치매의 예방에도 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다[26,18]. 따라서 솔잎 EtOAc획분을 하루 25, 50, 100 mg/kg BW로써 SD계 랫트에 45일동안 투여하여 뇌조직중의 세포막 유동성 (membrane fluidity : MF), 기초 및 유도활성산소(BOR 및 IOR), 산화적 스트레스로서 과산화지질(lipid peroxide : LPO) 및 산화단백질(oxidized protein : OP), 그리고 리포푸신(lipofuscin : LF)의 축적에 미치는 영향을 평가하여 보았다. 솔잎 EtOAc획분의 투여에 의하여 뇌조직의 mitochondria 및 microsome획분에서 용량의존적으로 MF가 증가효과가 나타났지만, EtOAc-100 투여그룹의 mitochondria 획분에서만 약 10%의 유의적인 MF의 증가효과가 인정되었다. 뇌조직의 mitochondria에서 기초 및 유도활성산소로서 BOR 및 IOR의 생성은 EtOAc-50 및 EtOAc-100투여그룹에서 각각 9.2∼10.2% 및 17.1∼24.0%의 유의적인 억제효과가 인정되었고, microsomes에서 BOR 및 IOR의 생성은 EtOAc-50및 EtOAc-100투여그룹에서 각각 11.6∼16.6% 및 12.1∼16.1%의 유의적인 억제효과가 인정되었다. 산화적 스트레스에 미치는 영향은 mitochondria 및 microsomes획분에서 EtOAc-50 및 EtOAc-100투여그룹에서 각각 8.5∼12.0% 및 11.6∼18.5%의 유의적인 LPO의 생성 억제효과가 인정되었지만, 뇌조직의 두 획분에서 OP의 생성은 EtOAc획분의 용량의존적으로 억제되었지만, 유의성은 인정할 수 없었다. 또한 뇌조직에서 LF의 축적도 EtOAc획분의 용량 의존적으로 억제효과가 나타났지만, 유의성은 인정할 수 없었다. 이상의 결과에서 평가하여 볼 때 솔잎 EtOAc획분의 투여는 뇌조직의 유동성을 촉진하고 LPO의 생성을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있지만, 현재의 투여농도에서는 OP 및 LF의 생성을 방지할 수 없을 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives : The present study investigated effects of Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg ethanol extract(EtOH ext). on lowering lipid, anti-oxidation and concentration of plasma inflammatory mediators using rat fed on high oxidized fat. Methods : We divided fat sprague-dawley rats fed on high oxidized into 4 groups. They were normal group, feed with 100 mg/kg Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg group, feed with 200 mg/kg Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg group and feed with 300 mg/kg Artemisia capilaris Thunberg group. They were administered for 4 weeks. We measured concentration of plasma free fatty acid(FFA), plasma triglyceride, plasma total cholesterol, and plasma low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-cholesterol), plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-cholesterol), concentration of liver total cholesterol and liver triglyceride (TG), concentration of plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS) and liver thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity and catalase(CAT) activity, plasma nitric oxide(NO), ceruloplasmin and ${\alpha}-glycoprotein$. Results : 1. The Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups showed low concentration of plasma FFA, plasma triglyceride, plasma total cholesterol and plasma LDL-cholesterol compared to control group. However, concentration of plasma HDL-cholesterol was increased in the Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups. 2. Concentration of liver total cholesterol and liver TG showed a significantly decrement in all Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups than that of control group. 3. The Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups showed lower values in concentration of plasma TBARS and liver TBARS than that of control group. The values of GSH-Px activity, SOD activity and CAT activity were increased in the Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups. 4. The values of plasma NO, ceruloplasmin and ${\alpha}-glycoprotein$ were decreased in Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups. Conclusions : Based on the results in this study, the Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. showed a positive effect in lowering lipid, anti-oxidation and decrement of plasma inflammatory mediators.

The cardiotoxic effects of acute and chronic administration of adriamycin (ADR) were evaluated in A/J Swiss albino mice. In acute studies, male mice received intravenous ADR, 5mg or 15mg/kg per day for 3 or 1day and were sacrifice 12 hours later. Because the glutathione-glutathione peroxidase system is major pathway for free radical detoxication, glutathione levels and glutathione peroxidase activity was measured. In acute studies, ADR-treated mice exhibited significantly decreased levels(p<0.05) of total glutathione and unchanged levels of oxidized glutathione and percentage of oxidized glutathione. The earliest myocardial fine structural alterations included swelling and degeneration of mitochondria and dilatation of sarcoplasmic reticulum at all dosage of acute models. In chronic studies, mice received 5mg/kg ADR once a week for up to 16 weeks. Levels of total and reduced glutathione were decreased significantly(p<0.01) and oxidized glutathione and percentage of oxidized glutathione were increased significantly (p<0.05). Chronic myocardial lesions included perinuclear vacuolization, seperation of myofibrils and the fasciae adherens of intercalated disc and hypercontraction band within myocyte. Glutathione peroxidase activity reduced significantly (p<0.01) in any group of acute and chronic ADR-treated animals. Test for lipid peroxidation(malondialdehyde) was increased significantly(P<0.01). Thus, we conclude 1) ADR significantly lowers glutathione levels in heart tissue, and 2) cellular damage progress produced by alteration of this system in mouse models of ADR cardiotoxicity. These results suggest that the glutathione-glutathione peroxidase system may be involved in the modulation of ADR-induced cardiotoxicity.

Phenol성 물질로서 hydroxyl기가 두개인 caffeic acid와 세개인 phloroglucinol을 methyl linoleate에 첨가하여 산화시키면서 활성화 효과와 산화생성물을 분석하였다. Methyl linoleate에 대한 $37^{\circ}C,\;3{\sim}9$일간의 산화반응에서 caffeic acid 및 phloroglucinol 첨가군은 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ 첨가군에 비해 높은 항산화성을 나타내었다. 이 때 산화생성물로서는 methyl linoleate(ML)군은 methyl-8-(2-furyl)-octanoate, 9,13-trans, cis hydroperoxide isomer 9,13-trans, trans hydroperoxide isomer 및 9-TMSO-12, 13-epoxy-10-octadecenoate로 나타났으며, 기간이 경과함에 따라 9,13-trans, trans isomer에 대한 9,13-trans, cis isomer의 비율이 낮아졌다. Caffeic acid 첨가군(CML)에서는 methyl-8-(2-furyl)-octanoate, 9-trans, cis hydroperoxide isomer 및 9-trans, trans hydroperoxide isomer였으며, 13-hydroxy isomer는 검출되지 않았다. Caffeic acid의 농도를 높일수록 9-trans, trans isomer에 대한 9-trans, cis isomer의 비율이 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 때 가장 주된 산화물인 caffeic quinone이 생성되는 것으로 보아 caffeic acid와 같은 o-dihydroxy cinnamate들은 lipid media에서 산화가 쉽게 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 phloroglucinol 첨가군(PML)의 산화 생성물들은 methyl-8-(2-furyl)-octanoate, 9-trans, cis hydroperoxide isomer, 9-trans, trans hydroperoxide isomer 및 9-hydroxy-12,13-epoxy-10-octadecenoate로서 CML군과 유사한 경향을 보였으나 phloroglucinol은 반응 9일째에도 산화되지 않았다.

Phenolics as antioxidant were added to linoleic acid to prevent lipid oxidation. Antioxidative effectiveness of them was measured by peroxie value at each 24hour interval in order to compare with 0.02% protocatechuic acid(PRL) and phloroglucinol(PHL) in linloleic acid, contrast tube at 37$^{\circ}C$for 96 hours blowing oxygen into specimen. Perocide values of oxidized linoleic acid, PRL, PHL for 96 hours were 78, 42, 30, From that the effect is more clearly demonstrated by NMR rather than UV and that the effect was dependent on the functional group and geometric molecular structure of phenolics.

수산식품의 품질보존에서 문제시되고 있는 지질의 산화생성들이 단백질의 영양학적 변화에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 새우를 시료로하여 건조과정과 저장중에 생성되는 지질의 산화생성물과 유효성 lysine간의 반응과 갈변반응에 미치는 영향을 실험한 결과는다음과 같다. 새우를 5%식염수에서 자숙한 후 $30{\pm}5^{\circ}C$에서 30시간 열풍건조 및 천일건조하였을 때 과산화물값은 열풍건조한 시료에서 12시간후, 천일건조한 시료에서는 18시간후에 증가하여 저장 15일경에 최고도에 달하였다. TBA값은 건조과정중에 급격히 증가하였으며 저장 25일경부터는 서서히 감소하였다. 유효성 lysine은 건조과정중 지질이 산화됨에 따라 감소되었으며, 특히 감소현상은 건조초기에 현저하였다. 지질이 산화됨에 따라 갈변색소는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 큰 차이는 없었다. 이상의 결과로부터 새우는 건조과정에서 지질이 산화됨에 따라 유효성 lysine의 량이 감소됨을 알 수 있었으나 건조방법에 의하여서는 큰 차이가 없었다.
