Some antioxidant phenolic compounds exhibit prooxidant activity mainly due to their abilities to reduce $Fe^{3+}\; to\; Fe^{2+}.$ Reducing ability and prooxidant activity of maltol, an antioxidant component of Korean red ginseng, were compared with those of pyrogallol. Maltol at 2 mM did not appreciably reduce$ Fe^{3+}\; to\; Fe^{2+}$ and also failed to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium. Stimulation of hydroxyl radical mediated-deoxyribose degradation by pyrogallol was maximal at 60 .mu.M. Maltol stimulated the deoxyribose degradation to a much less extent, and a similar stimulatory effect was observed at a concentration of more than 100-fold higher than that of pyrogallol. The stimulatory effect of maltol reached a plateau over 1 mM, suggesting the removal of hydroxyl radicals by excess maltol. In bleomycin-$Fe^{3+}$-DNA assay, maltol at 2 mM produced a 2.5-fold increase of the iron-bleomycin-dependent DNA degradation over the basal value, whereas pyrogallol at 10 .mu.M accelerated DNA degradation by ca. 10-fold. Furthermore, maltol inhibited $Fe^{2+}$-stimulated DNA degradation by bleomycin. These results strongly suggested that maltol is an antioxidant with little prooxidant activity.

The protective adaptive response to electrophiles and reactive oxygen species is mediated by enhanced expression of phase II detoxifying genes including glutathione S-transferases. ${\alpha}$-Lipoic acid, which exerts prooxidant or antioxidant activities, has been shown to activate the insulin signaling pathway and thus to induce insulin-like actions via PI3-kinase and Akt. Our previous studies have shown that PI3-kinase plays an essential role in Nrf2-or C/EBP${\beta}$-mediated glutathione S-transferase A2 (GSTA2) induction. (omitted)

Objective: Concerns about the safety of assisted reproductive technology (ART) have been raised, as some studies have shown elevated incidence rates of childhood cancer, asthma, allergies, and other diseases in ART-conceived babies. Findings regarding the health of ART-conceived babies are controversial. The present study was conducted to evaluate the prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB) in in vitro fertilization (IVF)-conceived mice in comparison to naturally conceived offspring. Methods: Mice (6-8 weeks) were divided into two groups (IVF-conceived and naturally conceived) matched by sex, age, weight, and litter size. A 1-mL blood sample was taken and the sera were separated. The oxidant-antioxidant balance was evaluated using a fast and reliable PAB assay. The results were expressed as $mean{\pm}standard$ deviation. Results: The mean PAB values (HK units) in the IVF-conceived and naturally conceived groups were $59.70{\pm}22.30$ and $54.70{\pm}18.22$, respectively (p= 0.82). Conclusion: Since free radicals contribute to several pathological conditions and antioxidants play an important protective role against oxidative stress, evaluating the oxidant-antioxidant balance is very important. Although the results of this study showed that the quality of the defense mechanism against free radicals was not significantly different between the IVF-conceived and naturally conceived mice, other parameters of metabolic dysfunction need to be measured.

달맞이꽃 종자유의 산화안정성에 대한 0.02%(w/w), 0.05%(w/w) 및 0.10%의 알파와 델타토코페롤의 첨가효과를 과산화물가, 공액이중산가 및 지방산조성의 측정치로 비교한 결과는 다음과 같다. 알파토코페롤은 첨가농도에 비례하여 모든 측정치에서 무첨가군에 비해 가속적인 산화촉진작용을 나타냈으며 델타토코페롤은 무첨가군에 비해 약간의 항산화효과가 저장초기에 첨가농도에 비례하여 나타났으나 저장일이 경과됨에 따라 그 효과는 저하되는 경향이었다. 따라서 자체내 분자구조 및 높은 함량의 고도 불포화지방산으로 인해 저장성이 취약할 것으로 예측된 달맞이꽃 종자유의 산화안정성에 대한 토코페롤의 첨가는 기름제조 단계에서부터 이화학적 변화에 대한 각별한 주의와 함께 첨가전의 토코페롤의 함량 등이 신중하게 고려되어 결정되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the effect of oleic acid on the autoxidation of the commercial rice bran oil. Rice bran oil samples with oleic acid at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% level were kept at 45 $\pm$ 0.3$^{\circ}C$ for 40 days. The rate of autoxidation of each samples was estimated regularly on the basis of the changes of peroxide value, acid value, anisidine value and the fatty acid composition. The per oxide, acid and anisidine values of the rice bran oil with the oleic acid increased as compared with that of the rice bran oil without the oleic acid during the autoxidation. The induction period of the rice bran oil without the oleic acid, control was 19.8 days, while those of the rice bran oil with oleic acid at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% levels were 18.3 days, 16.8 days, and 15.5 days, respectively. In conclusion, it seemed that oleic acid acted as weak prooxidant when added at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% levels to the commercial rice bran oil.

In the present study, an attempt was made to Investigate the effect of stearic acid on the autoxidation of the commercial rice bran oil, Rice bran oil samples with stearic acid at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5oh level were kept at 45$\pm$0.3$^{\circ}C$ for 40 days. The rate of autoxidation of each samples was estimated regularly on the basis of the changes of peroxide value, acid value, anisidine value and the fatty acid composition. The results were as follows : The peroxide, acid and anisidine values of the rice bran oil with the stearic acid at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.591 levels during the autoxidation Increased as compared with that of the rice bran oil without the stearic acid. The induction period of the rice bran oil without the stearic acid, control was 19.0days, while those of the bran oil with stearic acid at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% levels varied 19.0 days, 17.7days and 14.2 days, respectively. In conclusion, it seemed that stearic acid acted as weak prooxidant when added at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% levels to the commercial rice bran oil. The prooxidant activity of the stearic acid appeared to depend on the oxidative mechanism and their concentration.

W/O/W multiple emulsion의 산화에 미치는 surfactant micelle의 영향을 규명하기 위하여 W/O/W multiple emulsion에서 continuous phase로 전이되는 ferric iron의 양과 hydroperoxide의 양을 측정한 결과, continuous phase로 전이된 ferric iron과 hydroperoxide의 양은 첨가한 과량의 surfactant micelle에 의해, 저장기간이 길어질수록 증가하였다. Ferric iron을 함유한 W/O/W multiple emulsion의 지방산화 정도는 hydroperoxide와 TBA값 및 headspace hexanal을 측정하여 살펴본 결과 과량의 surfactant에 의해 산화는 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로 첨가된 과량의 surfactant에 의해 W/O/W multiple emulsion에서 prooxidant로 작용하는 ferric iron의 위치가 변화되어 산화를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다.

The oxidation of purified pinenut oil containing various concentration of tocopherols and β-carotene were studied. α-tocopherol revealed an antioxidant activity at the concentration of lower than 0.05%, however, it showed a prooxidant activity when the concentration was higher than 0.05%. The antioxidant activity of γ-tocopherol was not affected by the concentraitons in the range of 0.01∼0.10% in pinenut oil. γ -Tocopherol resulted in higher antioxidant activity than that of α-tocopherol. β -carotene seemed to be a prooxidant when 0.01% of β-carotene was added. The fatty acids composition of purified pinenut oil have been changed during autoxidation. The concentration of linoleic acid decreased readly while oleic acid seemed to increase. And the concentration of saturated fatty acid has'nt been changed much during autoxidation.
