본 연구에서는 프로폴리스의 다양한 효능을 이용한 식품 소재 개발을 위해 반응표면분석을 이용하여 프로폴리스의 에탄올 추출농도(50, 60, 70, 80, 90%)와 추출시간에 따른 항산화능, 플라보노이드 등의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 총 페놀성 화합물 함량은 에탄올 농도가 높을수록 증가하다가 80% 이상에서는 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 추출시간보다는 에탄올 농도에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 추출물의 전자공여능은 에탄올 농도가 높을수록, 추출시간이 짧을수록 전자공여능이 증가하였으며, 추출시간보다는 에탄올농도에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 항산화능이 가장 높은 범위는 에탄올 농도 65~75%, 추출시간 2.2~3.6시간이었다. 추출물의 아질산염소거능은 에탄올농도가 높을수록 증가하였고, 추출시간이 짧을수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 총 플라보노이드 함량은 에탄올 농도 68~82% 및 추출시간 2.4~3.7시간 범위에서 최대 함량을 나타내었으며, 에탄올 농도 및 추출시간 모두에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 에탄올 농도, 추출시간에 따른 반응표면을 superimposing하여 얻은 프로폴리스의 최적 추출조건의 범위는 에탄올 농도 72-82%, 추출시간 2.2-3.3시간 범위인 것으로 나타났다.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) screening method revealed that a propolis product marketed as a functional food contained an undeclared substance similar to tadalafil, the active ingredient of the prescription drug Cialis$^{(R)}$ approved for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. In order to identify the illegal additive, the propolis product was extracted with methylene chloride, and the extract was purified further using semipreparative HPLC. The chemical structure of the isolated substance was elucidated based on IR, LC/MS-ESI, and $^1H$- and $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopy, which showed the characteristics similar to tadalafil. The only difference was the substitution of the methyl group at the piperazinedione ring of tadalafil to the amino group of the identified illegal additive.

Heat stress is a major challenge to animal production in tropical and subtropical climates. Rabbits suffer from heat stress more than farm animals because they have few sweat glands, and their bodies are covered with thick fur. Intensive farming relies on antibiotics as antimicrobials or growth promoters to increase animals' productivity and health. However, the European Union and many countries have banned or restricted the use of antibiotics in animal feed for human health concerns. Several studies have found that replacing antibiotics in rabbit feed with natural plants or feed additives increases productivity and improves immune capacity, especially under heat stress conditions. Growth performance, immune response, gut microflora, and carcass yield may be increased in rabbits fed a diet supplemented with some natural plants and/or propolis. In this review article, we discuss and summarize the effects of some herbs and plant extracts as alternative feed additives on rabbit productivity, especially for those raised under hot ambient temperatures.

본 연구는 방사선조사 후 신장 조직의 손상과 방어기전을 알아보고자 생쥐 모델을 이용하여 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 광학현미경(LM)의 관찰 결과; 5Gy 조사 후 10일된 신장 조직에서는 정상조직과 비교하여 사구체가 위축되었으며, 10Gy 관찰에서는 곱슬세관(convoluted tubules)의 막이 파괴되어 세포질이 유출되었다. 투과전자현미경(TEM) 관찰 결과; 5Gy 조사에서는 사립체의 막이 파괴되거나 함몰된 것으로 관찰되었으며, 내부 크리스테의 형태도 소실되었다. 또한 일부에서는 핵막의 파괴도 확인되었다. 10Gy 조사한 조직에서는 기저막의 파괴가 뚜렷하게 관찰되고, 용해소체도 비후 된 것을 관찰하였다. 하지만 프로폴리스 섭식한 실험 군에서는 소기관의 형태가 뚜렷하게 관찰되었고, 핵막과 염색질도 선명하게 관찰되어 방어효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) playa critical role not only in the initiation of immune responses, but also in the induction of immune tolerance. In an effort to regulate immune responses through the modulation of antigen presenting cell (APC) function of DCs, we searched for and characterized APC function modulators from natural products. Methods: DCs were cultured in the presence of propolis components, WP and CP, and then examined for their ability to present exogenous antigen in association with major histocompatibility complexes (MHC). Results: WP and CP inhibited class I MHC-restricted presentation of exogenous antigen (cross-presentation) in a DC cell line, DC2.4 cells, and DCs generated from bone marrow cells with GM-CSF and IL-4. The inhibitory activity of WP and CP appeared to be due not only to inhibition of phagocytic activity of DCs, but also to suppression of expression of MHC molecules on DCs. We also examined the effects of WP and CP on T cells. Interestingly, WP and CP increased IL-2 production from T cells. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that WP and CP inhibit MHC-restricted presentation of exogenous antigen through down-regulation of phagocytic activity and suppression of expression of MHC molecules on DCs.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of mangosteen extract complex (MEC; Garcinia mangostana L. and propolis extracts) on the inhibition of inflammation and prevention of alveolar bone loss using a ligature-induced periodontitis model. Rat molars were ligatured with silk, and $1{\mu}g/mL$ of lipopolysaccharide of Porphyromonas gingivalis was injected into the buccal and palatal gingivae of the teeth with or without treatment with the MEC. Changes in the expression levels of prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$), interleukin-8 (IL-8), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, and COX-2 in gingival tissues were evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Alveolar bone loss around the ligated molars was examined using micro-computed tomography. The expression levels of $PGE_2$, IL-8, iNOS, MMP-8, COX-1, and COX-2 in gingival tissues were significantly reduced in the group treated with a mixture of $16{\mu}g$ of mangosteen extract powder and $544{\mu}g$ of propolis extract powder (ligation [Lig] + lipopolysaccharide extracted from P. gingivalis KCOM 2804 [L] + MEC 1:34). Additionally, alveolar bone loss was significantly reduced in the Lig + L + MEC 1:34 group compared with that in other groups. These results indicate that the MEC could be useful in preventing and treating periodontitis.
