본 실험은 벌꿀이 흰쥐(Sprague Dawley, ♂)의 효소활성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고저 설탕, 아카시아, 붉나무 그리고 잡화벌꿀을 각각 10%와 20%의 수용액으로 만들어 7주간 섭취 한 후 벌꿀의 효과를 비교한 바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. LDH활성은 대조군에 비하여 아카시아꿀, 붉나무꿀, 잡화꿀용액 섭취군에서 증가하였다. $\alpha$-HBDH활성은 설탕용액, 아카시아꿀, 붉나무꿀, 잡화꿀용액 섭취군이 대조군에 비하여 증가하였다. 벌꿀 섭취군 중 20% 아카시아꿀 용액만 GOT, GPT의 활성이 증가하였다. ICD활성은 붉나무꿀 용액에서 증가하였으나 아카시아 및 잡화꿀 용액에서 뚜렷하게 감소되었다. 벌꿀용액 섭취는 PHI, 전혈 G-6-P DH 활성을 감소시켰으나, aldolase역가를 증가시키는 경향이었다.

연구배경 : Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)은 인체의 여러 조직 또는 혈청내에 존재하는 glycoprotein peptidyldipeptide hydrolase로써 여러 종류의 peptides에서 dipeptides를 떼어내는 역할을 담당한다. 이러한 ACE는 주로는 혈관 내피 세포에서 형성되며 인체에서는 폐에 가장 많은 모세혈관들이 존재하므로 ACE가 혈중에 존재하는 기질과 작용하는 곳 또한 폐의 모세 혈관내이다. 임상적으로 ACE는 유육종증의 진단 및 경과 관찰에 이용되며 기타 급성 또는 만성 폐질환에서 혈청 ACE 활성도가 감소된다는 사실이 보고되고 있다. 그러나 한 시점에서의 혈청 ACE 활성도는 폐손상의 유무 및 그 정도를 잘 반영한다고 볼 수는 없으나 시간 간격을 두고 차례대로 측정한 값은 예후와 관련이 있다고 알려져 있다. 이에 저자는 폐암환자를 대상으로 혈청내의 ACE 활성도를 측정하여 이들 환자에 있어서 향후 예후 예측의 지표로써의 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 연구대상은 새로 진단된 폐암 환자로 하였고 대조군으로는 연구 대상군과 비슷한 연령군으로 하되 두군 모두에서 고혈압, 심장질환, 간질환, 신장 질환 그리고 폐암 이외의 기타 폐질환이 있는 사람은 제외시켰다. 연구대상군은 편평상피세포 폐암환자 19명, 선암폐암환자 13명, 소세포 폐암환자 9명 이었다. 결과 : 1) 편평상피세포 폐암환자의 혈청내 ACE 활성도는 $36.2{\pm}14.2$ U/L 이었고 선암 폐암환자는 $46.0{\pm}18.7$ U/L, 소세포 폐암환자는 $45.7{\pm}14.1$ U/L, 대조군은 $41.4{\pm}18.7$ U/L로 폐암환자의 ACE 활성도는 대조군과 차이가 없었으며 폐암의 세포형에 따라서도 차이가 없었고 폐암의 병기에 따라서도 ACE 활성도는 차이가 없었다. 2) 편평상피세포 폐암환자 4명과 선암 폐암환자 4명은 폐암의 치료로써 폐절제술을 받았으며 수술 전후 ACE 활성도는 편평세포 폐암환자가 수술전 $35.8{\pm}13.9$ U/L, 수술후 $12.5{\pm}3.9$ U/L로 의미있게 감소하였으며 선암 폐암환자에서는 각각 $47.1{\pm}5.9$ U/L, $15.0{\pm}3.9$ U/L로 수술후 의미있게 감소하였다. 3) 편평상피 세포 폐암환자중 3명과 선암 폐암환자 4명에 대하여 항암제를 투여받은 3개월에 걸쳐 측정한 ACE 활성도는 유의한 변화가 없었으며 임상적으로도 폐암의 호전은 없었다. 4) 소세포 폐암환자 9명은 3개월동안의 항암제 투여 중 임상적으로는 호전이 있었으나 혈청내 ACE 활성도는 의미있는 변화가 없었다. 결론 : 이상에서 폐정제술후 혈청내 ACE 활성도는 감소됨을 알 수 있었으나 폐암의 세포형, 병기, 임상적 호전과 혈청내 ACE 활성도는 연관이 없어 혈청 ACE 활성도는 폐암환자의 질병 경과 판정의 지표로써 부적합함을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to probe the influences of NaF oral administration on a dose-effect relationship between fluoride levels of serum enzyme activity such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in rats fed experimental diets for 5 weeks. All groups increased the activity of serum ALP, AST, ALT, and LDH levels with increasing NaF. In addition the fluoride levels of serum and organ tissues (liver, brain, heart, lung, kidney) in oral NaF groups (NF3~NF50) were significantly increased by adding sodium fluoride in comparison with normal diet group (ND) (p<0.05). These results, a high concentration of sodium fluoride was determined that the toxicity to various organ tissues.

To evaluate an effect of liver xanthine oxidase on the induction of liver damage, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was intraperitoneally injected twice at 0.1ml/100g body weight to the rate fed a low (LP)or high protein diet(HP) while the control group fed LP or HP received only olive oil. The changing rate of liver xanthine oxidas activity was compared with that of a free radical generating enzyme, liver aniline hydroxylase and a scavenging enzyme, glutathions S-transferase activity between the rate fed a LP and those fed HP, and the two groups treated with CCl4. Concomitantly, the degree of liver damage which could be considered as the paramete for CCl4 metabolism in case of CCl4-intoxicated animal was observed in the present experimental conditions and the effect of allopurinol, xanthine oxidase inhibitor, on the CCl4-toxicity of rate liver was alos demostrated. On the other hand, the comparative effect of actinomycin D on the liver and serum xanthine oxidase of CCl4-treated rats fed HP with that of those fed LP and the kinetics of purifed liver enzyme from the liver of CCl4-treated rats fed HP was also compared with that of those fed LP to clarify the differences of xanthine oxidase activity between two groups. The increasing rate of liver weigth/body wt, serum levels of ALT and the decreasing rate of hepatic ALT activity and protein contents to each control group were higher in CCl4-treated rats fed HP than those fed LP. Under the animal models as indentified by the present data herein, the liver xanthine oxidase activity was higher in CCl4-treated rats fed HP than those fed LP, and the control group fed HP also showed the much higher activity xanthine oxidase than that fed LP, whereas there were no differences in the activity of hepatic aniline hydroxylase and glutathions S-transferase between the two group treated with CCl4. Although the hepatic aniline hydroxylase activity was somewhat higher in the rats fed HP than those fed LP, the increasing rate of liver xanthine oxidase to the rats fed LP was higher in those fed HP than that of liver aniline hydroxylase. The degree of liver damage identified such as liver weight and serum ALT activity was less in the CCl4-treated rats pretreated with allopurinol. These results suggest that even a system at which xanthine oxidase acts as well as the drug metabolizing enzyme may influence the acelatin of CCl4 metabolism. In addition, the purified liver xanthine oxidase from CCl4-treated rats fed HP showed decreased Km value when compared to its control group. The Km value of liver xanthine oxidase of CCl4-treated rats fed LP showed a similar Km value with its control group. Furthermore, the decreasing rate of liver and serum xanthine oxidase acitivity in CCl4-treated rats pretreated with actinomycin D to the CCl4-treated rats was higher in rats fed HP than in those fed LP. These results suggest that the inductino of xanthine oxidase in CCl4-treated rats fed HP may be greater than in those fed LP.

The effects of fruiting body of Cordyceps militaris on the growth, the food intake, the food efficiency ratio, the lipid metabolism, the serum protein level ad enzyme activity in male rats were studied. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed four types of diets for five weeks, respectiely: a control diet, a control diet supplemented with 2%, 3% or 4% fruiting body of Cordyceps militaris(CF) powder. In rats fed 2% or 3% CF diets the body weight gain, the food intake, the concentratons of hepatic triglyceride and serum LDL-cholesterol, the atherogenic index, and the total lipid, total cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid in serum were similar to those in rats fed the control diet. Whereas, in 4% CF diet these were significantly decrased. But the all CF diets feeding could not decrease the food efficiency ratio, the weights of liver, pancreas, spleen, kidney and heart, and the concentration of serum HDL-cholesterol. Also, it was shown that the concentrations of glucose, total protein, albumin, urea and creatinine, and the GOT, GPT, LDH, ${\gamma}$-GTP and ALP activities were the same levels in serum of rats of fed all the experimental diets.

The hepatoprotective activity of the alcoholic extract of Rosa damascena was studied against paracetamol induced acute hepatotoxicity in rats. Liver damage was assessed by estimating serum enzyme activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and histopathology of liver tissue. Pre- and post-treatment with ethanolic extracts showed a dose-dependent reduction of paracetamol induced elevated serum levels of enzyme activity. The mechanism underlying the protective effects was assayed in vitro and the R. damascena extracts displayed dosedependent free radical activity using DPPH ($IC_{50}=162.525\;{\mu}g/ml$) and TBA method. The hepatoprotective action was confirmed by histopathological observation. The ethanolic extracts reversed paracetamol induced liver injury. These results suggest that the hepatoprotective effects of R. damascena extracts are related to its antioxidative activity.

A sensitive enzyme immunoassay for serum TSH has been developed utilizing the tight binding between biotin and avidin, and three layered protein polystyrene beads as solid phase. To increase binding capacity of TSH and sensitivity of the assay, the polystyrene beads were coated sequentially with mouse immunoglobulin as first layer, rabbit antimouse immunoglobulin as second layer and monoclonal anti-TSH as third layer. A serum sample was incubated simultaneously with a monoclonal anti-TSH immobilized polystyrene beads and a second monoclonal anti-TSH covalently attached to biotin. After washing, the antibody bound serum TSH-anti-TSH-biotin complex is reacted with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled avidin. Following second wash, the bound HRP activity was measured calorimetrically. Reproducible results were obtained within 4 hours for serum TSH in the range between $0{\mu}\textrm{IU}$ml and ${50}{\mu}\textrm{IU}$ml with detection limit of $0.1{\mu}\textrm{IU}$ per test.

The present study was carried out to investigate the serum enzyme activities of racehorses. The enzymes investigated were aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (GOT, GPT), ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transpeptidase(${\gamma}$-GTP), Lactic dehydrogenase(LDH), creatine phosphokinase(CPK), and alkaline phosphatase(ALP). Animals used were 30 healthy racehorses(♀17, ♂13) average weighing 435kg and were from 2 to 8 years of age. LDH activity was progressively decreased with age and next in the order of GOT and CPK activities. GOT and ${\gamma}$-GPT activities were not changed with age but ALP activity tended to be decreased wish age. Activities of GOT, GPT, ${\gamma}$-GTP and ALP were higher in female than in male. There was no difference in CPK activity by sex, and no difference was found out among breeds.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of chitosan oligosaccharide supplementation on the improvement of blood glucose, lipid components and enzyme activities in the serum of streptozotocin(STZ, 55 mg/kg B.W., I.P. injection)-induced hyperglycemic rats fed on experimental diets for 5 weeks. The concentrations of blood glucose, total cholesterol, atherosclerotic index, LDL, LDL-cholesterol, free cholesterol, cholesteryl ester ratio, triglycerides(TG) and phospholipids(PL) in serum were remarkably higher in the hyperglycemic group(group BSW) and STZ(I.P.)+chitosan oligosaccharide supplementation group(group ECW) than those in the control group(group BW, basal diet+water). However the concentrations of blood glucose, total cholesterol, atherosclerotic index, LDL, LDL-cholesterol, tree cholesterol, cholesteryl ester ratio, TG and PL in serum were lower in the ECW group than in the BSW group, whereas the ratio of HDL-cholesterol concentration to total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol concentration in the ECW group were higher than in the BSW group. The activities of alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and aminotransferase(AST, ALT) in serum were lower in the ECW group than in the hyperglycemic BSW group. The results shown above suggested that chitosan oligosaccharide supplementation effectively improves blood glucose, lipid composition and enzyme activities in the sera of STZ-induced hyperglycemic rats.

포유동물의 성숙한 난포의 난포액 속에는 여러 종류의 단백질 분해효소가 있으며 이들은 난포의 형성과 퇴화 및 난자의 성숙과 배란 등의 다양한 변화에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 여겨진다. 난포액 속의 단백질 가수분해효소 중에는 serine proteinase가 비교적 잘 알려져 있으나 다른 효소 특히, caseinolytic enzyme에 대해서는 거의 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 사람의 난포액을 재료로 하여 caseinolytic enzyme의 존재 여부 및 동 효소의 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 사람의 난포액과 혈청 그리고 사람의 제대혈을 $\alpha$-casein을 기질로 하는 zymography 방법으로 분석 한 결과 분자량 80 kDa의 매우 강한 caseinolytic activity를 지니는 효소 단백질과 분자량 78 kDa의 비교적 약한 caseinolytic activity를 갖는 단백질 등 두 개의 caseinolytic enzyme이 관찰되었다. 이 caseinase들의 특성을 알아보기 위해 phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride(PMSF), soybean trypsin inhibitor(SBf), 1,10-phenanthroline, E-64 그리고 ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA)를 zymouaphy의 substrate buffer에 처리한 결과 EDTA와 SBTI에 의해서 80 kDa와 78 kDa caseinase의 활성이 억제되었다 이로 미루어 80 kDa와 78 kDa caseinase는 trypsin-like enzyme인 것으로 추측된다. 한편 사람 난포액의 zymouaphy 수행시에 5 mM의 EDTA가 첨가된 substrate buffer에 CaC $l_2$, MgC $l_2$, MnC $l_2$ ZnC $l_2$를 각각 0에서 10 mM의 농도별로 처리한 결과 모두 5 mM 농도에서 가장 높은 caseinase 활성을 보였다. 금속 이온의 첨가없이 EDTA만 처리한 대조군의 경우 caseinase의 활성은 나타나지 않았다. 이로 미루어 80 kDa 및 78 kDa caseinase는 효소 활성을 위해 이가 금속 양이온을 필요로 하는 것으로 여겨진다.
