  • Phenanthrene-induced changes in blood organic components. transaminase and ALP activities of Paralichthys oIivaceus were investigaled. The aim of this study was to obtain a holistic view of the toxic responses, and compensations of fish exposed to waterborne phenanthrene. Fish were exposed to 0, 0.5, 1, 2$\mu$M of phenanthrene for 4 weeks. The most noticeable changes were concentration-dependent increase in levels of blood GOT and GPT activities. At concentrations 1.0 and 2.0 $\mu$M of phenanthrene GOT, GPT and ALP enzyme activities in plasma were increased. Plasma albumin concentration was stable in phenanthrene-exposed fish, however, plasma total protein level was reduced significantly at the 4-week sampling points (2.0$\mu$M). Plasma glucose levels were found to be increased significantly over the cootrol throughout duration of the experiment with phenanthrene. Overall the results suggest that phenanthrene has the potential to alter some physiological functions in olive flounder.

  • Most psychophysical studies in manual material handling (MMH) have paid more attention to two-handed MMH activities than to one-handed MMH activities. Also, studies are involved only with single MMH activities - lifting, lowering, carrying, holding, pushing or pulling. Very few studies are reported on the determination of workers' capacities for combinations of one-handed MMH activities (lifting a box, then carrying the box, and lowering the box). The objective of this study was to find the psychophysical and physiological responses of human subjects from a simulated industrial task involving one-handed and two-handed combined tasks. The capacities that were determined as the maximum acceptable weight workloads for 1 hr work period for one-handed and two-handed combined tasks - lifting a box from floor to knuckle height, carrying the box for 4.3 m, and lowering the box from knuckle to floor height - were determined psychophysically under three frequencies: six handlings per minute, one handling per minute and one handling per five minutes. In addition to maximum acceptable weight, heart rate and RPE values on wholebody, back, and arm were also measured as responses.

  • 우리나라 남해안 연안에서 주로 양식되는 진주담치(국산 홍합)와 세계적으로 기능성이 잘 알려진 뉴질랜드 초록입 홍합의 열수 추출물을 제조하여 생리활성을 비교하였다. 모든 홍합 추출물들은 알코올대사와 관련한 alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH)와 acetaldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH)의 활성을 상승시켰으며, 특히 ADH의 활성을 크게 향상시켰다. 국산 홍합의 육질 추출물은 초록입 홍합의 육질 추출물에 비하여 ADH 상승 효과는 비슷하였으며, ALDH 상승 효과는 약간 낮았다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능으로 조사한 항산화능은 국산 홍합의 육질 추출물이 초록입 홍합의 육질 추출물 보다 높았다. 항고혈압과 관련한 ACE 저해능의 경우에는 국산 홍합 육질 추출물이 초록입 홍합의 육질 추출물에 비해 10 mg/mL 농도에서는 낮았으나 20 mg/mL 이상의 농도에서는 유의차(P<0.05)를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 국내에서 양식되고 있는 홍합도 세계적으로 초록입 홍합에 못지않은 생리활성을 가지고 있음을 시사한다.

  • In order to examine the cross-tolerance of two chilling-tolerant cultivars (Donganbyeo and Heukhyangbyeo) and two chilling-susceptible cultivars (Hyangmibyeo and Taekbaekbyeo) to salt, paraquat, and drought, changes of physiological response and antioxidant enzymes were investigated. The seedlings were grown in a growth chamber until the 4-leaf stage. The seedlings were exposed to chilling at $5^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. For drought treatment, the seedlings were subjected to drought by withholding water from plants for 5 days. For paraquat study, plants were sprayed with $300{\mu}M$ paraquat. For the salt stress, the seedlings were transferred to the Hoagland's nutrient solution containing 0.6% (w/v) NaCl for 4 days. Chilling-tolerant cultivars showed cross-tolerant to other stresses, salt, paraquat, and drought in physiological parameters, such as leaf injury, chlorophyll a fluorescence, and lipid peroxidation. The baseline levels of antioxidative enzyme activities, catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POX) activities in chilling-tolerant cultivars were higher than in the chilling-susceptible cultivars. However, there were no differences in ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities between chilling-tolerant and -susceptible cultivars in untreated control. CAT activity in chilling-tolerant cultivars was higher than that in chilling-susceptible cultivars during chilling, salt, and drought treatments, but not during paraquat treatment. However, other antioxidative enzymes, APX, POX, and GR activities showed no significant differences between chilling-tolerant and -susceptible cultivars during chilling, salt, paraquat, and drought treatments. Thus, it was assumed that CAT contribute to cross-tolerance mechanism of chilling, salt, and drought in rice plants.

  • In this experiment, three different diets were produced to investigate the effects of Jeju native chicken meat, from chickens that were fed a tangerine by-product, on physiological activities in rats. The first diet did not contain any chicken (TS), the second diet contained 10% chicken that had not been fed the tangerine by-product (T0), and the third diet contained 10% that had been fed the by-products (T1). These diets were provided to 11-week-old male rats for four weeks. Weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency, liver, kidney, and epididymis fat weights were not significantly different among the TS, T0, and T1 groups. Total lipid, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels in the liver were significantly lower in T0 and T1 than in TS (p<0.05). And total lipid, phospholipid, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, DL+VLDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol, and atherogenic index levels in the blood serum were similar between T0 and T1, which did not present any significant differences. The feed containing the tangerine by-product did not cause any statistically significant differences in serum protein, glucose, or hemoglobin. Finally, T0 and T1 showed similar trends in terms of $\gamma$-GTP, ALT, AST, and ALP activities, which again did not present any statistically significant differences.

  • 검은비늘버섯을 이용하여 심혈관계 질환과 관련된 기능성 식품 개발을 위한 기초자료를 얻기 위해 검은비늘버섯물 추출물과 유기용매 분획물을 이용하여 심혈관계 질환관련 생리활성을 확인하였다. 물 추출물은 57.57%의 항산화활성을 나타냈지만 혈전용해활성, 트롬빈저해활성, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해효과는 매우 낮게 나타났다. 반면 에틸 아세테이트 분획물은 0.70 plasmin unit의 높은 혈전용해 활성과, 87.36%와 46.44%의 높은 트롬빈 저해활성과 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 나타냈으며, 물 분획물은 48.27%의 항산화활성을 나타냈다. 혈전용해활성이 높은 에틸 아세테이트 분획물은 섬유소원의 $A{\alpha}$$B{\beta}$ chain은 모두 분해시켰지만 ${\gamma}$ chain과는 반응하지 않았으며, $100^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 가열에도 혈전용해 활성에 변화가 없었다. 실험 결과로부터 검은비늘버섯의 에틸아세테이트 분획물은 높은 혈전용해활성과 트롬빈 저해활성과 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 나타내 심혈관계 질환 관련 치료나 예방을 위한 기능성식품 개발에 이용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

  • 본 연구에서 비쭈기 나무의 잎 부분에 대한 다양한 생리활성을 조사하여 기능성소재 응용가능성을 검토하였다. 비쭈기 나무 잎 추출물은 멜라노마 세포에 대하여 낮은 세포독성을 나타냈다. 비쭈기 나무 추출물 처리 시 항산화(IC50, 22.90 ㎎/L) 및 항균활성이 매우 우수하게 나타났으며 특히 그람양성세균에 대한 항균활성이 높았다. 또한, 비쭈기 나무 추출물 처리시 tyrosinase 활성저해 및 멜라닌 함량 저하(IC50, 101.90 ㎎/L)를 보여주었다. 이와 같은 결과로 미루어 볼 때 비쭈기 나무 추출물은 피부미백 소재 등 피부개선 효과를 비롯한 기능성 화장품에 활용하기 위한 매우 효과적인 재료가 될 수 있다고 판단된다.
