The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of soy protein and soy isoflavones on bone and mineral density in young female Sprague-Dawley rats. Fifty eight rats (body Weight 75 $\pm$ 5 g) were randomly assigned to one of four groups, consuming casein, soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate (57 mg isoflavones/100 g diet) or casein added isoflavones (57 mg isoflavones /100 g diet). All rats were fed on experimental diet and deionized water ad libitum for 9 weeks. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) were measured using PIXImus (GE Lunar Co, Wisconsin, USA) in spine and femur on 3, 6, 9 weeks after feeding. The serum and urine concentrations of Ca and P were determined. Diet did not affect weight gain and mean food intake. Food efficiency ratio was lower In soy protein groups. The serum concentration of Ca and P were not changed by soy protein and isoflavones. Urinary Ca and P excretion were not significantly different. Spine BMD was significantly increased by soy protein isolate on 3 and 6 weeks after feeding. Femur BMD was significantly increased in the groups of soy protein isolate and isoflavones adding on after 9 weeks. Therefore, soy protein with rich isoflavones may be beneficial on spine and femur BMD increasement in growing female rats.

Obesity occur from the imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. Obesity is a complex chronic disease that is suggested to cause other metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and arteriosclerosis. In this study, our purpose is to investigate the anti-hyperglycemic and anti-obesitic effects of Maydis stigma water extract in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and db/db mice. Maydis stigma water extract at dose of 100 and 500 ${\mu}g/ml$ slowly inhibited cell viability as compared to that of control in mature adipocytes. Also, the additions of 50 and 250 ${\mu}g/ml$ of Maydis stigma water extract significantly inhibited the lipid accumulations and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein(C/EBP) ${\alpha}$ and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR) ${\gamma}$ expressions with dose-dependent manner in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Maydis stigma water extract at 250, 500, and 1000 ${\mu}g/ml$ only showed the increasing pattern on lipolysis activity. The oral treatment of Maydis stigma water extract (100 or 400 mg/kg body weight) in db/db mice only showed tendency to decrease body weight, food efficiency ratio (FER), HbA1c, blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and the adipocyte size of in db/db mice. However, Maydis stigma water extract increased the insulin level in a dose dependent manner. Thus these results indicate that Maydis stigma water extracxt inhibits adipogenesis through regulation of C/EBP${\alpha}$ and PPAR${\gamma}$ expressions in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and shows anti-hyperglycemic effect through increase of insulin secretion in db/db mice.

This study was carried out to investigate the distribution of body composition, and to analyze its relationship to dietary behaviors and life style. The study subjects were divided into 3 age groups; 30' years (n = 78) 40' years (n = 71) and 50' years (n = 44). The data was collected by physical measurement (Inbody 230) and questionnaires. The rate of disease and general characteristics were higher in the 50 year old group than in the other groups. Average amount of body water, protein, mineral and body fat were 29.0 kg (50.4%), 7.7 kg (13.4%), 2.8 kg (4.8%), 18.7 kg (31.5%), respectively. The rate of menopause was significantly different with increasing age. Menopause was 1.3%, 9.1%, 79.6% by age respectively. Body fat percent was significantly increased and body water decreased with age (p < 0.01). The fat composition was higher and the mineral content was lower in 50' year old group. Dietary behavior scores of 30' year old group was significant lower than in the other two groups (p < 0.001). The means of salty eating, skipping meals, fruit intake and food habits total point were significantly higher in the 50 year old group than in the other groups. There were significant positive correlations between age, BMI, waist hip ratio respectively (p < 0.01). There were significant negative correlations between age and body water, body mineral, skeletal muscle (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.01). The results of this study suggested that nutritional management and education for adult women differ by age group.

This study was performed to determine the effect of Takju(Korean turbid rice wine) lees on the serum glucose level in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. 24 Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into three groups: normal control(NC), diabetic control(DC) and diabetic rats(DS) were fed on experimental diet and water ad libitum for 4 weeks. DS diet was containing 20% Takju lees. Body weight gain and food Efficiency Ratio(FER) were significantly lower in DC and DS than NC. DS tended to have higher weight, weight gain and FEF than DC nevertheless food intake. Therefore Takju lees could possibly complement casein as a protein source. Gastrointestianl transit time in DS significantly decreased than NC while not significantly than DC. Serum lipid profiles and AST. ALT and amylase were not significantly different between diabetic DC and DS. Blood glucose was measured at fasting state and 30, 60, 90 and 120 minute by oral glucose tolerance test, DS tended to lower the mean(${\pm}$ SE) incremental blood glucose concentrations than DC and was significantly low at 120 min. But incremental AUG(area under the curve) of postprandial glucose response was not significantly different. In conclusion, in spite of high contents of carbohydrate Takju lees perhaps have a benefit effect on the diabetes.

This study was executed to investigate the effects of drinking deep sea water treated by reverse osmosis process (RO-DSW) on growth performance, nutrient utilizability, relative weight of lymphoid organs and the concentration of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) in broiler chickens. A total of 200 one day old broiler chickens (Ross 308) were equally and randomly distributed into 10 ground floor pens (20 chicks per pen, 5 pens per treatment) bedded with rice-husks. The broilers were offered either fresh tap water (Control) or RO-DSW for 28 days (from d 6 to d 33) as the drinking water. The same basal phase 1 diet for first 2 weeks and phase 2 diet for last 2 weeks were offered ad libitum to the birds. The RO-DSW was prepared by diluting 1:20 ratio with deionized water before offering to chickens. The diet for control birds was supplemented with 0.21 % of food-grade salt to satisfy salt need of the birds. Broiler feeding study resulted that there were no differences in amount of water consumption, mortality and FCR between RO-DSW and control chickens. However, feed intake and body weight gain were increased (p<0.05) by RO-DSW drinking. There was no (p>0.05) difference in nutrients utilizability between RO-DSW and fresh water drinking. There were no (p>0.05) differences in the immune response between the control and treatment group. The serum IgG levels were 3.01 vs 2.87 mg/ml and the relative weights of spleen, thymus and bursa of Fabricius were 0.23, 0.18 and 0.20 vs. 0.20, 0.17 and 0.14 for RO-DSW vs. control birds, respectively. The immune responses were tended to be improved by RO-DSW drinking. This study showed an improvement in weight gain and feed intake that could be induced by RO-DSW drinking, although it is difficult to explain the reasons of the improvement at this moment. This study implied that RO-DSW could be successfully used as drinking water to broiler chickens.

납과 산수유 열수 추출물을 6주간 급여하여 사육한 흰쥐의 식이섭취량, 음용수 섭취량, 체중증가량과 식이효율에서 흰쥐의 평균 체중 증가량과 식이섭취량은 정상군에 비하여 납 단독 급여군이 낮은 증가를 보였다. 간 장기 조직의 중량은 납 단독 급여군이 정상군에 비하여 증가하였다. 납 해독에 미치는 영향은 각 장기 조직에서 정상군과 산수유 급여군은 납 단독 급여군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮은 증가를 보였다. 반면에 납과 산수유 병합급여군은 정상군에 가깝게 회복되어 산수유가 어느 정도 조직을 보호하는 것으로 생각된다. 혈청 중의 AST와 ALT 활성은 정상군에 비하여 납 단독 투여군이 유의적으로 증가되었으며, 산수유 추출물 급여군은 억제되었다.

최대골질량에 근접할 수 있는 20대 여성들의 골격건강 상태는 중년기 이후 급증하는 골절이나 골다공증 발병과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 본 연구는 골격계질환 예방을 위하여 청년층의 식사지침 설정에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자, 20대 여대생들의 골밀도를 측정하여 정상군과 골질환군으로 분류한 후, 신체계측과 식사섭취 상태 등을 조사 비교하고, 골밀도와 관련된 제 요인들을 분석하였다. 대상자들의 골밀도는 WHO에서 분류한 T-score값에 따라 정상군 59명($-0.42{\pm}0.45$), 골감소증군(골다공증 2명+골감소증 41명, $-1.52{\pm}0.41$) 43명이었으며, 골다공증과 골감소증을 나타낸 대상자는 전체 대상자의 약 42%로 나타났다. 평균 연령은 21.43세, 신장, 체중 및 체질량지수(BMI)는 각각 $161.25{\pm}4.77\;cm$, $56.05{\pm}9.20\;kg$과 21.5($kg/m^2$)이었으며 전체 대상자 중 60명(58.8%)만이 정상체중군에 속하였고 골감소증군에서 저체중자의 비율이 높게 나타났다. 정상군과 골감소증군의 신체계측치를 비교했을 때, 체중, 체단백질(protein mass), 무기질(mineral mass), 골격근량(skeletal muscle mass), 제지방량(fat free mass) 및 체수분(total body water) 함량 등이 골감소증군에서 유의적으로(p<0.05) 낮게 나타났다. 영양소 섭취 상태를 분석한 결과에서는 한국인영양섭취기준(KDRIs)의 75% 이하로 섭취하고 있는 영양소에는 비타민 C(73%), 엽산(49%), 칼슘(66%)과 칼륨(45%) 등이었고, 영양섭취기준에 비해 높게 섭취하고 있는 영양소에는 단백질(136%), 비타민B6(120%), 인(122%) 및 나트륨(충분섭취량의 256%) 등이었다. 체중 1 kg당 영양소섭취량을 분석 비교한 결과에서는 두 군간 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았으나, 정상군에 비해 골감소증군에서 에너지섭취량이 다소 높았고, 칼슘은 섭취량자체는 많았지만 동물성칼슘의 비율이 낮게 나타났고, 마그네슘(Mg)의 섭취량도 적게 나타났다. 식품군별 섭취량과 섭취빈도를 분석한 결과에서는, 정상군과 골질환군에서 섭취량에는 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 우유와 유제품의 섭취빈도가 골감소증군에서 다소 낮게 나타났다. Tscore와 관련성을 보인 신체계측지수는 체중(p<0.01), PIBW(p<0.05), 신장(p<0.01), 체단백질(p<0.001), 체지방량(plt;0.05), 무기질(p<0.001), 체수분(p<0.001), 근육량(p<0.001), 제지방량(p<0.001), BMI(p<0.05), 골격근량(p<0.001), 허리둘레(plt;0.05) 및 엉덩이둘레(plt;0.05) 등이었으며, 체중 1 kg당 영양소섭취량과의 관련성에서는 에너지, 단백질, 지질, 당질, 인, 나트륨 및 칼륨이 유의적으로($p<0.05{\sim}p<0.01$) 음(-)의 관련성을 나타내었고, 섭취빈도와의 관련성에서는 우유 및 유제품의 섭취빈도는 양(+)의, 버섯류의 섭취빈도는 음(-)의 유의적인(p<0.05) 관련성을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 최대의 골질량에 근접해야하는 20대 여대생의 골격건강상태는 약 42%의 대상자가 골감소증군으로 나타나, 중년층의 골질환 발병율과 거의 같은 수준을 보였다. 따라서 이에 대한 예방대책이 조속히 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다. 골격건강 상태에 영향을 주는 요인으로는 적정 체중유지가 중요한데, 전체 대상자의 약 59%만이 적정체중 범위에 있었고, 골감소증군에서 저체중자의 비율이 높게 나타나 건강체중유지에 대한 교육도 강조되어져야 할 것이다. 식사관련요인에서는 각 영양소의 섭취량 자체도 중요하지만 특히 칼슘, 인, 나트륨, 칼륨 및 마그네슘등의 경우 각 영양소 상호간의 섭취 비율이 골격건강에 더 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 사료된다. 취약한 칼슘섭취상태를 보완하기 위한 주요 급원식품으로는, 우유와 유제품의 공급이 우선시되어야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Vitamin K has been suggested to plays a role in bone metabolism. The objective of this study was to determine whether vitamin K2 supplementation is related to bone mineral density, bone formation markers, and bone resorption in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Forty Sprague-Dawley female rats (body weight, $200{\pm}10$ g) were divided into four groups: a sham group fed a control diet, a sham group fed a vitamin K2 supplemented diet, OVX fed a control diet, and OVX fed a vitamin $K_2$ supplemented diet (3.5 mg vitamin $K_2$/kg diet). All rats were fed the experimental diets for 6 weeks, and deionized water was provided ad libitum. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), osteocalcin, and urinary deoxypyridinoline crosslink values were measured as markers of bone formation and resorption. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content were measured in the spine and femur using PIXImus (GE Lunar Co., Madison, WI, USA). No significant differences in body weight gain, food intake, or food efficiency ratio were observed between the control and experimental groups. Serum ALP, osteocalcin, and urinary crosslink values were not significantly different between the vitamin $K_2$ supplemented groups. No significant differences were observed for any of the variables in the sham group. Spine BMD values were significantly lower in the OVX than those in the sham groups. Spine and femur BMD per weight of vitamin $K_2$ tended to be higher than the control diet group within the OVX group, but no significant differences were observed. In conclusion, dietary vitamin $K_2$ supplementation may have a beneficial effect on spine and femur BMD in OVX rats. Further research is needed to understand the potential benefits of vitamin $K_2$ on bone loss in OVX rats.
