흑삼의 속성제조와 ginsenoside $Rg_3$ 함량을 극대화하고자 흑삼 제조시 포도주스에 24시간 침지한 후 $120^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 3회 반복 증숙하여 흑삼을 제조한 후 HPLC 방법을 이용하여 ginsenosides를 분석하였다. 포도주스에 침지하여 제조한 흑삼의 ginsenoside $Rg_3$ 함량은 10.91 mg/g으로 구증구포 방법으로 제조한 흑삼보다 약 2배 가량 함량이 증가되었다. 총 사포닌 함량은 14.97 mg/g으로 전통적인 구증구포 방식으로 제조한 흑삼 (12.79 mg)보다 그 함량이 높았다. 흑삼의 단회투여 (200 mg/kg, p.o.)에 의한 뇌조직 AChE 활성은 투여 24시간 후에 유의적으로 억제되는 효과를 보여주었다. 따라서 본 연구에 적용한 새로운 제조방법은 ginsenoside $Rg_3$를 강화하는 흑삼의 속성제조에 효과적인 방법으로 판단된다. 또한, AChE 활성억제를 통해 흑삼이 뇌기능 개선에 대한 잠재적인 효능을 가지고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

가열 및 동결저장이 오징어, 굴, 새우 및 명태의 in vitro 소화율과 trypsin indigestible substrate (TIS) 함량 변화에 미치는 영향을 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. Boiling 했을 때 최고의 운 in vitro 소화율을 나타내는 시간은 오징어 1분, 내장을 제거한 굴 0.5분, 내장을 제거하지 않은 굴은 1분이었고, 명태는 5분 이었으며, 오징어와 굴은 부위에 따라 소화율은 다르게 나타났다. 최고의 in vitro 소화율을 나타내는 steaming 조건은 오징어는 $100^{\circ}C$에서 1분, 굴은 $88^{\circ}C$에서 1분이었으며, 명태는 $100^{\circ}C$에서 $1{\sim}2.5$분이었다. TIS는 진시료에서 in vitro 소화율과 역상관관계를 가지며 변화하였다. 동결건조한 시료가 다른 건조품보다 현저하게 높은 in vitro 소화율을 보였으나, 내장을 제거했거나 지방함량이 낮은 시료를 천일건조했을 때도 동결건조시료에 버금가는 in vitro 소화율을 나타내었다. 동결저장은 지방함량이 낮은 시료의 in vitro 소화율의 저하 및 TIS함량 증가에 효과적이었으나, 지방함량이 높아 산패가 심하게 진행된 시료에는 현저한 효과를 볼 수 없었다. 지방함량은 수산식품단백질을 가열처리했거나 저장했을 때의 소화율 변화에 결정적인 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었으며, 4가지의 효소를 이용한 multi-enzyme digestion technique은 수산식품단백질의 소화율 변화를 측정함에 있어 아주 민감하고 유용한 방법으로 판명되었다.

Background: Black ginseng (BG) is a type of Korean ginseng prepared by steaming and drying raw ginseng to improve the saponin content. This study examined the effects of BG on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in HepG2 cells and diet-induced obese mice. Methods: HepG2 cells were treated with free fatty acids to induce lipid accumulation before supplementation with BG. NAFLD-induced mice were fed different doses (0.5%, 1%, and 2%) of BG for 8 weeks. Results: BG significantly reduced lipid accumulation and expression of lipogenic genes, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c, and fatty acid synthase in HepG2 cells, and the livers of mice fed a 45% high-fat diet with 10% fructose in the drinking water (HFHF diet). BG supplementation caused a significant reduction in levels of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, while antioxidant enzymes activities were significantly increased in 45% high-fat diet with 10% fructose in the drinking water diet-fed mice. Expression of proliferator-activated receptor alpha and carnitine palmitoyltransferase I were upregulated at the transcription and translation levels in both HepG2 cells and diet-induced obese mice. Furthermore, BG-induced phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase and acetyl CoA carboxylase in both models, suggesting its role in AMP-activated protein kinase activation and the acetyl CoA carboxylase signaling pathway. Conclusion: Our results indicate that BG may be a potential therapeutic agent for the prevention of NAFLD.

Background: Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) is a traditional herbal medicine made by steaming and drying fresh ginseng. It strengthens the endocrine and immune systems to ameliorate various inflammatory responses. The cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/prostaglandin E2 pathway has important implications for inflammation responses and tumorigenesis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$) is a transcription factor that regulates not only adipogenesis and lipid homeostasis, but also angiogenesis and inflammatory responses. Methods: The effects of the KRG on inhibition of hypoxia-induced COX-2 via $PPAR{\gamma}$ in A549 cells were determined by luciferase assay, Western blot, and/or quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The antimigration and invasive effects of KRG were evaluated on A549 cells using migration and matrigel invasion assays. Results and conclusion: We previously reported that hypoxia-induced COX-2 protein and mRNA levels were suppressed by KRG. This study examines the possibility of $PPAR{\gamma}$ as a cellular target of KRG for the suppression of hypoxia-induced COX-2. $PPAR{\gamma}$ protein levels and $PPAR{\gamma}$-responsive element (PPRE)-driven reporter activities were increased by KRG. Reduction of hypoxia-induced COX-2 by KRG was abolished by the $PPAR{\gamma}$ inhibitor GW9662. In addition, the inhibition of $PPAR{\gamma}$ abolished the effect of KRG on hypoxia-induced cell migration and invasion. Discussion: Our results show that KRG inhibition of hypoxia-induced COX-2 expression and cell invasion is dependent on $PPAR{\gamma}$ activation, supporting the therapeutic potential for suppression of inflammation under hypoxia. Further studies are required to demonstrate whether KRG activates directly $PPAR{\gamma}$ and to identify the constituents responsible for this activity.

Gastric ulcer is a clinical symptom characterized by inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Stress and alcohol consumption have been identified as the major cause of gastric ulcer. However, the effects of silkworms on ethanol-induced gastric ulcer have not been studied yet. The mature silkworms that are difficult to eat have become easier to ingest due to recent technological development to make steaming and freeze-drying mature silkworm larval powder (SMSP). In this study, we investigated whether three silkworm varieties, Baekokjam, Golden-silk and Yeonnokjam could alleviate ethanol-induced gastric mucosal damage in vivo. Sprague-Dawley rats pretreated with 3 SMSPs (0.1 or 1 g/kg BW) or normal diet (AIN-76A) were exposed to absolute ethanol (3 g/kg BW, 3 h) by oral gavage. Morphological examination included ulcer index as a measurement of hemorrhages and hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to analyze the severity of gastric ulcer. Results of macroscopic examination suggested that all 3 SMSPs pretreatment significantly protected gastric mucosa against ethanol-induced damage. Microscopic observations demonstrated significant mucosal erosion and inflammation in ethanol-treated rats, which was abrogated in rats pretreated with 3 SMSPs. In addition, pretreatment with all 3 SMSPs showed significant decreases the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, IL-6 and cyclooxygenase-2. Among SMSP from 3 varieties of silkworm, preadministration of 1 g/kg Baekokjam SMSP showed the most effective protective effect against ethanol-induced gastric ulcer. These results suggest that Baekokjam SMSP can be a potential gastroprotective agent against ethanol-induced gastric ulcer.

This study was conducted to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of red doraji (Platycodon grandiflorum, RD) prepared by repeated steaming and drying process in the immune-suppressed mice induced by pre (RD-A) or post-treatment (RD-B) with cyclophosphamide. The immune-stimulating effects of ethanol RD extract in in vivo at 150 (RD-1) and 300 mg/kg body weight (RD-2) for RD-A and RD-B groups were measured and compared to the NC group supplied with distilled water only or positive control group. After 14 days of oral supplement, serum IgA, IgG, and cytokine levels, splenocytes proliferation rate, NK cell activity, and gene expression of cytokines were measured as immune related biomarkers. Serum IgA, IgG, IL-1β, and IL-12 levels increased in both RD-A and RD-B groups while serum TNF-α level decreased in RD-A group compared to the NC group. Splenocytes proliferation rate, NK cell activity, and cytokine (IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ) expression levels were also improved by RD supplement in the both groups. The RD showed more significant immunomodulatory effects at higher dose (RD-2) rather than the lower dose (RD-1). Thus, RD has an immune efficacy in a dose dependent manner and can be used as an immune stimulating source to improve immunity.

This study was to investigate the characteristics of the Yakju fermented with differently-processed lotus leaves such as blanching, steaming, roasting, and drying, and fresh one for control. The total acid content was high (0.82~1.22%) in the lotus leaf Yakju, and lactic acid was the main compound among organic acids. Volatile acid content was high (200~500 mg/L) compared to the results of organic acid composition, and the main volatile acid in lotus leaf Yakju was acetic acid. Though the polyphenol content (616.5~693.1 mg/L) was similar among the Yakju, the Hunter's color value of those were quite different and also had a big impact on the sensory evaluation of color. Therefore, it seems that the enzyme activity of polyphenol oxidase in differently-processed lotus leaves may have an influence on the color of lotus leaf Yakju. In a sensory evaluation of color and aroma, lotus leaf Yakju fermentaed with fresh leaves and roasted ones were preferred to the others, and steamed leaves and roasted ones were the best in taste and overall acceptability.

Previously we have reported that black ginseng was produced by nine-time repeated steaming 5-year fresh ginsengs at 95${\circ}$C for 3hr in pottery apparatus and drying at 60${\circ}$C for 12${\sim}$36 hr and had an outstanding anticancer activity. This study was designed to examine the ability of black ginseng to suppress body weight gain appetite, and to investigate the effect of black ginseng on lipid profile in male rats fed normal diets. The extract of black ginseng was administered daily for 3 weeks, and the changes of body weight and food intake were measured. After administering the extracts for 3 weeks, the fat weight and serum lipid levels were also measured. Black ginseng persistently suppressed weigh gain and food intake was also reduced, but not significantly; The weight of both epididymal and abdominal fats was decreased In black ginseng-treated rats. Serum triglyceride level in rats administered with black ginseng was also significantly lowered. Therefore, these results reveal that the repeated administration of black ginseng causes a suppression of body weigh gain by decreasing triglyceride level in blood and body fat deposit.
