Rice, the staple food in Korea, is deficient to some extent in protein, lipid and vitamins. This study was carried out in order to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation to the rice diet of cellulose, ginseng, and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol on lead toxicity in rats. Using male rats fed the rice diet with the distilled drinking water containing 750mg of lead as nitrate per liter, for 11 weeks, organ weights, hemoglobin levels, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity and accumulation of lead in liver, blood and kidney were observed. Supplementation of cellulose, ginseng and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol to the lead groups showed the protective effect significantly in the weight of liver but no influence in hemoglobin levels. Ginseng especially decreased the serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity to normal level. The three supplemented diets reduced the lead accumulation in kidney and blood, but not in liver.

The purposes of this research were to investigate in-patients' perception on foodservice quality and to examine factors influencing their meal consumption at hospitals. Three general hospitals with over 400 beds in Seoul and Chon-An agreed to participate in the research. A total of 516 in-patients of the hospitals were surveyed on their meal consumptions, reasons of plate wastes, perceptions of foodservice quality, and demographic information. A response rate was 76% after excluding responses with significant missing data. On average the regular diet patients consumed 72%, 69%, and 68% of rice, soups, and side dishes served, respectively; the therapeutic diet patients consumed less than 70% of the meals they were served. The consumption rates did not differ significantly by diet type, gender, age, and hospitalization period. Among the therapeutic diet patients, those who had nutrition education consumed significantly more rice than the others (p<0.05). The main reasons why the patients did not eat all food served were 'lack of energy' and 'not tasty'. The patients' perception on foodservice quality was low; the therapeutic diet patients perceived more negatively than the regular diet patients in 'keeping hot food hot, cold food cold(p<0.05)', 'maintaining consistency of taste(p<0.01)', and 'providing nutrition information(p<0.01)'. To achieve the goal of the foodservice at hospitals, the dietitians can use the findings of the research in developing and implementing strategies to improve the patients' meal consumption. Recipe standardization, employee training, and production management will be useful for improving food quality and nutrition education on therapeutic diets for the patients will improve their meal consumption at hospitals.

Sodium chloride plays an important role as the main condiment at daily meal. It is well known that humans require sodium chloride as an essential nutrient to keep the homeostasis of electrolytes. The amounts of salt intake may be a reflection of geography, culture and food habit rather than necessity. Lee has reported (1962) that Koreans ingest high amounts of sodium chloride in their meals, with an intake of excess carbohydrate (80-90% of total Calories) and low protein in their diet. This includes large amounts of rice, Kimchi and other fermented soybean products common in the Korean diet. This investigation was designed to study the dietary relations of sodium chloride to other nutrients in the Korean diet. Twenty four albino male rats, weighing from 290-300g, were divided into four dietary groups according to the amounts of carbohydrate, protein and fat in the basal diet. Each diet contained a rice powder as a carbohydrate source. Diet I was a control diet, Diet II, low protein, Diet III, low protein and low fat diet and Diet IV, low fat diet. All rats were provided with 3% sodium chloride solution. Diet and salt solution were given ad libitum. The experiment was carried out for 9 weeks during which time the body weight, the food intake, and 3% sodium chloride solution consumption were determined. At the 9th week, the urine was collected the blood sample from the artery of each rat for the analysis of sodium and potassium and other chemical studies. The rats were sacrificed and the kidney, adrenal, liver and spleen were measured, and observed changes of the pathological tissue in the kidney and adrenal. The results were summarized as follows: 1) The growth rate was higher in Diet I than in the other experimental diets (II, III and IV) after 4 weeks. There was no significant difference found between the experimental Diets II, III and IV. 2) The daily food intake was greater in the experimental diets II, III and IV than in the control diet. However, there was no difference among the high carbohydrate diets Diet II, III and IV. 3) The daily water (3% sodium chloride solution) intake was also greater in the Diets II, III and IV, than in the control diet. However, there was no difference between Diets II, III and IV. 4) The concentration of sodium and potassium in the blood were within the normal range in all diets. 5) The amount of sodium chloride in the urine was significantly greater in Diets II, III and IV than in the control diet. Diets II, III, IV had a larger amount of sodium solution consumption. 6) Observation of pathological tissue in the experimental diets found a cell proliferation in the glomerlulus of the kidney, while such change was not found in the control diet.

This study was devised to observe the nutritional effect by feeding of rice diet supplemented with Ginseng powder in Albino rats. The male albino rats (84 heads), weghing about 56g, were used for the experimental animals. They were divided into six diet groups; which were the 6.4% protein diet, the 12.8% protein diet and the 17.9% protein diet as the control and each control diet was supplemented with 3% of Korean Ginseng powder as experimental diet. These diet groups were again divided into 2 groups according to the feeding terms, 3 weeks and 6 weeks. The animals were sacrificed after feeding the coresponding diet for 3 weeks and 6 weeks and the liver, heart, kidney, intestine and serum were collected as samples for analysis. The growth rate, efficiencies of protein and food, lipid, cholesterol and nitrogen in the samples were determined. The results obtained are summerized as follows; 1. The growth rate were improved by feeding of the 13% and the 18% protein diet supplemented with 3% ginseng powder than the coresponding control diet group, although the same results were not observed in the 6.8% protein diet groups. 2. The consumptions of the food and the protein in each dietary group were similar to each other. 3. The efficiencies of the food and the protein were improved by feeding of the 13% and the 18% protein diet supplemented with the ginseng powder than each control diet group. 4. The lipid contents in the liver of each expperimental diet group, in the feeding for 3 weeks, were shown the tendency to increase slightly, compared with the coresponding control group, whereas in the feeding group for 6 weeks, the contents were shown rater the decreasing tendency. 5. The total cholesterol contents in the liver of each experimental diet group, in the feeding group for 3 weeks, were maintained slightly higher level than the coresponding control group, whereas in the feeding group for 6 weeks, the contents were shown similar levels. 6. The total cholesterol contents in the heart were maintained with similar level in each diet group and each feeding term.

The effects of several carbohydrate sources on plasma, liver and fecal lipid contents of rats fed diet containing sucrose, corn starch, brown rice, milled rice or wheat flour with 0.3% cholesterol for four weeks were investigated. Plasma triglyceride and total cholestrol increased significntly in sucrose group, and decreased significantly in milled rice group compared to other three groups. There were no significant differences in plasma lipid contents among corn starch, brown rice and wheat flour groups. The contents of liver triglyceride and cholesterol in brown rice group decreased significantly compared to there four groups. Fecal excretion of total cholesterol in rice and wheat flour groups was significantly higher than in sucrose and corn starch groups. The contents of fecal bile acid increased significantly in milled rice and brown rice groups compared to other three groups. Fecal bile acid content of wheat flour group was similar to those of sucrose and corn starch group. From these results, it is suggested that rice has a possibility of hypolipidemic effect in cholesterol fed rat.

본 연구는 밥 중심 식사 패턴이 비만에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 C57BL/6 마우스를 고지방식이 대조군(HFD), 밥 중심 식사 급여군(RD) 및 빵 중심 식사 급여군(BD)으로 분류하여 각 실험 식이를 5주간 공급하여 마우스의 체중 변화, 혈중 지질 함량, 지방조직의 무게 및 혈중 glucose 및 insulin 함량을 비교 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 모든 처리군에서 사료 섭취량의 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, RD 급여군에서의 체중 증가량은 BD 급여군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮아졌다(p<0.05). 지방조직 무게 역시 RD 급여군에서 낮은 수치를 보였으며, 특히 부고환지방의 무게 및 지방세포의 크기는 BD 급여군에 비하여 현저하게 감소하였다. RD 급여군에서의 혈중 중성지방 및 총콜레스테롤, 포도당 및 인슐린 농도 역시 BD 급여군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). 이상의 실험 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 밥 중심의 식사는 고지방 식이를 비롯한 빵 중심 식사에 비하여 체내 지방조직의 축적을 억제하고, 혈중 지질농도를 감소시키며, 혈당의 증가를 억제함으로써 비만 및 당뇨병 등의 대사성 질환을 개선하는 데에 있어서 효과적인 것으로 사료된다.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of disodium fumarate on the in vitro rumen fermentation profiles of different substrates and microbial communities. In experiment 1, nine diets (high-forage diet (forage:concentrate, e.g. F:C = 7:3, DM basis), medium-forage diet (F:C = 5:5, DM basis), low-forage diet(F:C = 1:9, DM basis), cracked corn, cracked wheat, soluble starch, tall elata (Festuca elata), perennial ryegrass and rice straw) were fermented in vitro by rumen microorganisms from local goats. The results showed that during 24 h incubations, for all substrates, disodium fumarate increased (p<0.05) the gas production, and tended to increase (p<0.10) the acetate, propionate and total VFA concentration and decrease the ratio of acetate to propionate, whereas no treatment effect was observed for the lactate concentration. The apparent DM loss for tall elata, perennial ryegrass and rice straw increased (p<0.05) with the addition of disodium fumarate. With the exception of tall elata, perennial ryegrass and rice straw, disodium fumarate addition increased the final pH (p<0.05) for all substrates. In experiment 2, three substrates (a high-forage diet, a medium-forage diet and a high concentrate diet) were fermented by mixed rumen microbes in vitro. A polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) technique was applied to compare microbial DNA fingerprints between substrates at the end of 24 h incubation. The results showed that when Festuca elata was used as substrate, the control and disodium fumarate treatments had similar DGGE profiles, with their similarities higher than 96%. As the ratio of concentrate increased, however, the similarities in DGGE profiles decreased between the control and disodium fumarate treatment. Overall, these results suggest that disodium fumarate is effective in increasing the pH and gas production for the diets differing in forage: concentrate ratio, grain cereals and soluble starch, and in increasing dry matter loss for the forages (tall elata, perennial ryegrass and rice straw) in vitro, whereas its effect on changes of ruminal microbial community may largely depend on the general nature of the substrate.

미강은 쌀 도정의 부산물로 다양한 연구에서 미강의 생리활성 구성 요소의 항산화, 항암, 면역 강화, 콜레스테롤 저하효과가 보고되어 미강을 식품소재로 활용하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 미강을 첨가한 제품의 품질과 관능 기호도에 대한 기초 자료를 제공할 뿐이고, 미강의 생리활성에 대한 연구는 미강 추출물로 이루어진 것이 대부분이다. 이에 본 연구는 안정화 미강 첨가가 항비만 및 항산화 효과를 나타내는지 생리적 효과를 검토하기 위해 in vivo model에서 실험을 진행하였다. C57BL/6 마우스에 6주간 고지방식이를 급여하여 비만을 유도하였고, 미강이 비만에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 제품 개발 시 기능성을 유지하는 적정 첨가비율을 확인하기 위해 안정화 미강 분말을 고지방 식이에 각각 20%, 40%를 첨가하여 7주간 실험을 진행하였다. 실험결과 고지방 식이에 미강을 20% 첨가한 HFRB20군은 HFD군과 유의한 차이가 없었지만, 고지방 식이에 미강을 40% 첨가한 HFRB40군에서 체중 증가 억제와 지방 조직 무게감소 효과 및 혈당 저하와 leptin 농도의 감소를 보였고 항산화 효소 활성을 개선시켰다. 이러한 결과는 안정화 미강의식이 섬유소와 그 외의 주요 성분들이 복합적으로 시너지효과를 나타냈기 때문으로 보인다. 결론적으로 안정화 미강을 이용하여 생리적 효과를 나타내는 제품 개발에 안정화 미강의 첨가량은 40%가 적절한 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 본 연구는 7주의 단기 연구를 수행하였고 통계적 유의성은 없었으나 HFRB20군에서 비만과 항산화 및 관련 지표가 개선되는 경향을 나타내었으므로 장기간 섭취 시의 효과에 대한 추후 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

This study was designed to determine whether dietary glutinous barley (GB) affects lipid metabolism in middle-aged rats previously fed a high-fat diet. To induce obesity, 20 male 9-month-old Sprague Dawley rats were raised for 1 month on a diet containing 20%(w/w) lipid. The rats were allocated to 1 of 2 groups of 10 rats each and for the subsequent 2 months were fed an 8%(w/w) lipid diet containing well-milled rice (WMR) or GB powder. Rats fed the GB diet had significantly lower concentrations of plasma triglyceride, plasma total cholesterol, and liver cholesterol than rats fed the WMR diet. Fecal excretions of triglyceride and bile acids were significantly greater for the GB group than for the WMR group. In conclusion, dietary GB has positive effects on lipid metabolism: it decreases plasma cholesterol concentration by increasing fecal excretion of bile acids.

In order to know the effect on the growth of experimental rats, this, this experimental rats, this experiment was carried out on two groups of rats-a rice-diet animal group and a stock-diet animal group. Results of the growth experiment are shown in the tables 3 and 4, and growth curves are shown in the figures 1 and 2. The growth curves are shown in the figures 3 and 4. Based on the statistical analysis of growth rats, the male group on stock-diet was stimulated significantly in its growth by adding antler. The female group on rice-diet was also significantly stimulated in growth by anter. The other groups are not significant but it seems likely that the growths wers stimulated. As shown in table 7, the numbers of days when the body weight of the animals in each group became two times, three times, three times, and four times are discussed. This method of analysis shows clearly the stimulation of growth by adding antler in each group in both sexes. It can be summarized that the antler stimulates the growth of the experimental rats but it is not discussed in this paper whether this stimulation in the growth might be due to calcium, vitamins and amino acids in antler or to an unknown growth factor.
