Eight cattle and ten sheep were administrated various degree of PMA-B and EPN, and S-GOT, S-GPT and serum cholinesterase activity were tested. Serum cholinesterase activity showed no typical tendency, however, S-GOT/S-GPT ratios were decreased by the administration of PMA-B. It was suggested some degree of liver damage by the administration of the chemicals was recognized.

To evaluate the protective effects of extracts of silkworm on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase activities, malondialdehydes values and glutathione-S-transferase activity were measured in ICR mice. Extracts of silkworm was administered orally at 30min after the administration of CCl4 Mice were sacrificed at 24h after the administration of extracts of silkworm. The activities of serum aminotransferase and the hepatic content of lipid peroxide after carbon tetrachloride treatment were markedly increased than normal control but those levels were decreased by the treatment of butanol soluble fraction of silkworm methanol extract. Glutathione S-transferase activity was decreased by carbontetrachloride than control, but also inhibited by the treatment of butanol soluble fraction of silkworm methanol extract.

In order to evaluate the protective effects of extracts of Mori cortex radicis on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, lactic dehydrogenase, malondiadehyde values and glutathione S-transferase activity were measured in ICR mice. The activities of serum aminotransferase and the hepatic content of lipid peroxide after carbon tetrachloride-treatment were markedly increased than normal control but those levels were significantly decreased by the treatment of butanol fraction of Mori cortex radicis mathanol extract. Glutathione S-transferase activity was decreased by carbon tetrachloride than control, but that also inhibited by the treatment of butanol fraction of Mori cortex radicis methanol extract. These results demonstrate a possible hepatoprotective role of extract role of extract of Mori cortex radicis against ${CCl_4}-induced$ hepatoxicity in vivo.

In the present study, Thespesia populnea (Malvaceae) bark was extracted with methanol and water. The extracts were vacuum dried to yield the respective methanol (MET) and aqueous extract (AET). The extracts were evaluated for hepatoprotective activity against carbon tetrachloride $(CCl_{4})$ induced liver damage at 2 dose levels (250 and 500 mg/kg). The biochemical parameters observed in serum were total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) levels and total protein. Aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and total protein levels in liver were also evaluated. Histopathological study on the liver tissue was also performed. The extracts exhibited dose dependent reduction in total bilirubin, ALP SGOT, SGPT, AST, ALT and increase in total protein (serum and liver) levels. The extracts also exhibited only mild hepatocytic damage compared to the $CCl_{4}$ Treated group. MET was found to exhibit higher hepatoprotection than AET.

A benzomorphan derivative, pentazocine has both opioid agonistic actions and weak narcotic antagonistic activity. In this paper, authors attempted to study the dose response of pentazocine on the blood sugar level, serum transaminase and alkaline phosphatase activity in rabbits. Eighteen rabbits were devided into 3 groups, and each group were injected with pentazocine 5mg, 15mg, and 30mg/kg respectively. And metabolic effects were investigated measuring the change of blood sugar contents, serum transaminase (S-GOT, S-GPT) activities and alkaline phosphatase activities in rabbits. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Pentazocine significantly increased the blood sugar content in rabbits. 2. Pentazocine significantly increased the serum GOT activity but in the serum GPT activity, it significantly increased in large dose. 3. Pentazocine significantly increased serum alkaline phosphatase activity.

(R,S)-3-amino-n-butanoic acid에 대한 광학분할 능력이 우수한 균주 Alcaligenes denitrificans Y2k-2를 토양으로부터 분리하였다. 광학분할 반응에 관계하는 효소는 트랜스아미나제로 추정되며, 아민 수용체에 대한 특이성에서 크기가 작을수록 반응성이 높아지는 경향이 있다. pyruvate에 의한 기질저해 현상이 나타나는데, 효율적인 생산 체계를 갖추기 위해서 이 문제를 해결할 필요가 있으며 현재 효소의 정확한 특성을 파악하기 위한 실험을 진행 중이다.

GABA transaminase is inactivated by preincubation with p$^1$, p$^2$-bis(5'-pyridoxal) diphosphate at pH 7.0. The inactivation under pseudo-first order conditions proceeds at a slow rate (K$\_$obs/=0.035 min$\^$-1/). The degree of labeling of the enzyme by p$^1$, p$^2$-bis(5'-pyridoxal) diphosphate was determined by absorption spectroscopy, The blocking of 2 lysyl residues/dimer is needed for inactivation of the transaminase. The time course of the reaction is significantly affected by the substrate ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate, which afforded complete protection against the loss of the catalytic activity. Whereas cofator pyridoxal phosphate failed to prevent the inactivation of the enzyme. Therefore, it is postulated that binding of ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate tn lysyl residues is the major factor contributing to stabilization of the catalytic site and bifuctional reagent p$^1$, p$^2$bis(5'-pyridoxal) diphosphate blocks lysyl residues other than those involved in the binding of the cofactor.

The root of Polygonum cuspidatum (Polygonaceae) has been used as treatments of hyperlipidemia, dermatitis, gonorrhea, favus athlete's foot, inflammation in traditional medicine. In order to examine anti-lipidperoxidation activity, hexane, EtOAc, BuOH and water fractions of its methanol extract were administered to carbon tetrachloride intoxicated rats. Ethylacetate fraction exhibited antilipidperoxidative effect on liver lipid homogenate and the radical scavenging effect on DPPH. Serum transaminase, AlP, triglyceride and total cholesterol contents significantly decreased by administrations of ethylacetate fraction.

In this study, the anti-lipidperoxidative effects of G009, a polysaccharide extracted from Ganoderma lucidum IY009, was determined in ascorbic acid-$Fe^{2+}$-adenosine 5-diphosphate-intoxicated rat. In a model of ascorbic acid-Fe$^{2+}$-adenosine 5-diphosphate-induced hepatotoxicity in rat, G009 exhibited anti-lipidperoxidative effect in rat liver homogenate, and that malondialdehyde values of the liver homogenate inhibited from 48.1% to 74.8% in comparison to controls (p<0.05). The malondialdehyde formation in serum inhibited 66.5% at 100 mg/kg of G009. Also, serum levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic pyruvic transaminase in peroxidizer-induced rats treated with G009 was decreased compared with control. Especially, the formation of lipid peroxides in serum was related to glutamic pyruvic transaminase levels. These results suggest that G009 has a protective effect on ascorbic acid-$Fe^{2+}$-adenosine 5-diphosphate-induced hepatic injury through an inhibition of lipid peroxidation in liver.r.

Mesorhizobium sp. LUK, which utilizes 3-amino-3-phenylpropionic acid as the sole source of nitrogen with high enantioselectivity (E(S)>100), was isolated using enrichment culture. The enzyme involved in the utilization of (S)-3-amino-3-phenylpropionic acid was confirmed to be a transaminase and was purified by 235-folds with a specific activity of 0.72 U/mg. The molecular weight of the purified protein was ca. 47 kDa and the active enzyme was determined as a dimer on gel filtration chromatography. The N-terminal sequence was obtained from the purified protein. Spontaneous decarboxylation of produced ${\beta}-keto$ acids was observed during the chiral resolution of 3-amino-3-phenylpropionic acid.
