  • Obesity is characterized by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance, which are aggravated by the interaction between hypertrophic adipocytes and macrophages. In this study, we investigated the effects of tangeretin on inflammatory changes and glucose uptake in a coculture of hypertrophic adipocytes and macrophages. Tangeretin decreased nitric oxide production and the expression of interleukin (IL)-6, $IL-1{\beta}$, tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2 in a coculture of 3T3-L1 adipocytes and RAW 264.7 cells. Tangeretin also increased glucose uptake in the coculture system, but did not affect the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) and Akt. These results suggest that tangeretin improves insulin resistance by attenuating obesity-induced inflammation in adipose tissue.

  • The effects of liquid pig manure (LPM) on the yield and nutrient supply of green manure crops, such as hairy vetch alone and hairy vetch + rye mixture, were investigated. We used three treatments: no-fertilizer (NF); LPM, $4.0t10a^{-1}$ ($N-P_2O_5-K_2O=4.0-0.024-4.0kg10a^{-1}$); and chemical fertilizer (CF; $N-P_2O_5-K_2O=4.0-0-4.0kg10a^{-1}$). The green manure crops, namely, Vicia villosa Roth. (hairy vetch) and Secale cereale L. (rye). were sown on March 11 and harvested on June 24, 2014. Yield of green manure crops significantly increased in hairy vetch + rye mixture plot compared with the hairy vetch alone plot. In hairy vetch alone plot, yield of green manure crops was increased by application of LPM and CF, but there were no significant differences. Yield of green manure crops in hairy vetch + rye fresh mixture plot significantly increased by the LPM and CF treatments, but no difference was noted between the LPM and CF treatments. Nitrogen supply by the green manure crops was higher in hairy vetch + rye mixture plot than hairy vetch alone plot. However, there was no significant difference. Phosphorus and potassium supply significantly increased in hairy vetch + rye mixture plot compared with hairy vetch alone plot. By treating LPM and CF, the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium supply were higher than those in no fertilizer. In conclusion, LPM could replace CF. When planting green manure crops, the hairy vetch + rye mixture was more effective than hairy vetch alone to effectively use green manure crops.

  • '상도조생'은 온주밀감 중에는 성숙기가 늦은 '좌좌목온주'의 가지변이로 선발된 품종이다. 1996년에 변이 발생이 확인되었고, 1998년에 1차로 선발되어 계통명 'JARES108'로 명명되었다. 2000년에 제주시와 서귀포시에 온주밀감 성목을 중간대목으로 접목을 실시하여 2003~2006년 4년 동안 특성을 조사한 결과, 우수성이 인정됨에 따라 최종적으로 선발하여 '상도조생'으로 명명하였다. '상도조생'은 10월 하순에 성숙하는 극조생온주밀감으로 수세는 극조생온주밀감 중에서는 강한편이고, 수형은 개장형이다. 성숙기는 원목인 '좌좌목온주'에 비해 25일 정도 빠른 10월 하순경이다. 제주에서 재배되고 있는 극조생온주밀감 중 성숙기, 수세, 과형, 과피색 등에서 가장 유사한 품종인 '상야조생'과 비교한 결과, '상야조생'에 비해 당도가 $0.6^{\circ}Bx$보다 높고, 산함량이 낮아 품질이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. '상도조생'은 '궁본조생', '산천조생', '시문조생' 등 품질이 낮은 극조생온주밀감 품종을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다.
