조경수목(造景樹木)들의 대기오염물질(大氣汚染物質)들에 대한 감수성(感受性) 및 저항성(抵抗性)을 규명하기 위해서 야외조사(野外調査)와 실내실험(室內實驗)을 통하여 엽내(葉內) 유황함량(硫黃含量)과 peroxidase(POD) 및 superoxide dismutase(SOD) 함량(含量)을 측정(測定) 분석(分析)하였다. 은행나무에서는 엽내(葉內) 유황함량(硫黃含量)과 POD 활성간(活性間)에 부(負)의 상관(相關)이 나타났고 잣나무, 소나무 및 양버즘나무에서는 엽내(葉內) 유황함량(硫黃含量)과 POD 활성간(活性間)에 정(正)의 상관(相關)을 나타내었다. 각 수목(樹木)들은 오염물질(汚染物質)이 체내(體內)에 흡수(吸收), 축적(蓄積)됨에 따라 내성기구(耐性機構)로써 POD 같은 효소(酵素) 활성(活性)을 증가시켰다. 특히 잣나무와 양버즘나무의 POD 활성(活性)이 높게 나타났다, $SO_2$ 처리실험에서 고유의 POD 활성(活性)이 낮은 침엽수(針葉樹) 1년생 잎이나 은행나무에서는 $SO_2$ 처리구간에 POD 활성(活性) 변화가 거의 없으나, 고유의 POD 활성(活性)이 높은 스트로브잣나무와 튜립나무에서는 처리농도가 높을수록 POD 활성(活性)이 증가하는 것으로 보아, 외부 stress에 대한 단기적 POD 활성(活性)은 감수성(感受性)이 큰 수종(樹種)에서 나타나며, 장기적 POD 활성(活性) 증가는 식물체(植物體)의 방어기작(防禦機作)중의 일부로써 나타났으며 수목(樹木)의 SOD와 POD 활성간(活性間)의 상관관계(相關關係)는 은행나무에서만 부(負)의 상관(相關)을 보이고 나머지 수목(樹木)에서는 정(正)의 상관(相關)을 나타내었다. SOD와 POD 활성(活性)은 수종(樹種)마다 특이한 반응(反應)을 나타내며, 대부분의 수종(樹種)에서 SOD와 POD가 동시에 내성(耐性) 기구(機構)에 참여함을 알 수 있었다.

Rheum undulatum and Rheum palmatum have been widely used as food material as well as medicinal ingredients for their therapeutic effects in oriental countries. Many kinds of herbs are being used in the manufacture of functional foods. The objective of this study was to determine polyphenol content, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, tyrosinase activity, and electron donating ability of R. undulatum and R. palmatum. Total polyphenol content were most effective in 50 and 100% ethanol extracts from R. undulatum and R. palmatum. SOD-like activities of R. undulatum extracts were higher than those of R. palmatum extracts, and water extracts of samples were highest. EDAs of R. undulatum extracts were higher (26.76-44.46%) than those of R. palmatum extracts, while those of both extracts were lower than 1.0 and 0.1% L-ascorbate. And these suggest that the extracts of R. undulatum and R. palmatum can be used as a material in functional food.

The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb. water and 70% ethanol extracts. The content of total polyphenol was significantly higher in water extract than in 70% ethanol extract. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of water extract was similar to that of Vit. C at a concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. The ABTS radical scavenging activities of water and 70% ethanol extract were similar to that of Vit. C at a concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. SOD-like activity of water extract was higher than that of 70% ethanol extract at a concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ but lower than that of Vit. C. The DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and SOD-like activity increased as concentrations of water and 70% ethanol extracts increased. Cell cytotoxicity was not observed at all concentrations except at $100{\mu}g/mL$ concentration of water extract. Inhibitory activity on NO production effect of water extract was significantly higher than that of 70% ethanol extract. These results show that E. caryophyllata Thunb. has potent biological activities, and their activities were different depending on extraction solvent.

To elucidate the relationship between blood parameters related bone metabolism and antioxidant enzyme activity in postmenopausal period 60 women residing in Iksan area were recruited. Food and nutrient intake of each individual subject were estimated by 24-hour recalls of 3 non-consecutive days. The biochemical markers including total protein, albumin, osteocalcin (intact bone gla protein; BOP), calcium, phosphorus and hemoglobin were measured in fasting blood. In addition, parameters of antioxidative capacity including the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) , catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacity (TA) were monitored in blood, also. The mean age, height, weight, and BM! of subjects were 64.8 years, 151.1 em, 59.5 kg $26.0\;kg/m^2$, respectively. The mean SOD, GPx, and CAT activities were 138.5 U/ml, 1,273.8 U/ml and 314.3 kU/l respectively, and TA was 1.16 mmol/l without significant difference among different age groups. BMI was positively correlated with SOD activity (p < 0.01). SOD activity and CAT activity showed positive correlation with serum albumin (p < 0.05) and hemoglobin (p < 0.01). In conclusion, this study revealed that antioxidant enzyme activity holds a significant relationship with the blood parameters like as serum albumin and hemoglobin in postmenopausal women and further systematic research is needed to investigate the their relation mechanism.

This study was performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity induced by ischemia-like condition (ILC) in cultured neuroglial cells (C6 glioma cells). The protective effect of kaempferol (KAE), flavonoid against the cytotoxicity induced by ILC induction was assessed. In addition, antioxidative effects of KAE were done by colorimetric assays. Cell viability and the antioxidative effects such as DPPH-radical scavenging activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and inhibitory activity of lipid peroxidation (LP) were analyzed. ILC induction decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, and the $XTT_{90}$ value (low cytotoxicity value) and $XTT_{50}$ value (high cytotoxicity value) were determined during ILC induction for 15 and 40 minutes, respectively. The butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) antioxidant significantly increased cell viability damaged by the ILC-induced cytotoxicity. In the protective effect of KAE on ILC-induced cytotoxicity, KAE protected the ILC-induced cytotoxicity by the significant increase of cell viability, and also it showed DPPH-radical scavenging ability, SOD-like ability and inhibitory ability of LP. From these results, it is suggested that ILC induction showed cytotoxicity in these cultures and the oxidative stress is involved in the ILC-induced cytotoxicity. While, KAE prevented ILC-induced cytotoxicity by antioxidative effects. In conclusion, natural products like KAE may be a putative therapeutic agent for the treatment of disease associated with oxidative stress such as ischemia.

The purpose of this study was to examine the antioxidative activity of feral haw (Crataegus pinnatifida BUNGE) seed extracts using 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, chloroform:methanol (CM, 2:1, v/v), n-butanol and ethyl acetate (EA). The total phenol content of the five extracts ranged from 37.29 mg/g to 55.53 mg/g. Moreover, the content was high in the 70% methanol and, 70% ethanol extracts, but low in the n-butanol extract. On the contrary, the total flavonoid content decreased in the order of n-butanol (2.93 mg/g), EA (2.67 mg/g), 70% methanol (1.00 mg/g), 70% ethanol (0.88 mg/g) and CM (0.67 mg/g) extracts. The $NO_2$ radical scavenging activity, antioxidant activity by ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assay and, superoxide dismutase (SOD) like ability decreased in the order of 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, CM, EA and, n-butanol extracts; further, a similar tendency was also observed in the total phenol contents. Overall, these results indicated that the antioxidative activity of feral haw seeds was closely related to the total phenol and flavonoid contents. Therefore, haw seeds might be usefully applied to natural antioxidants as well as functional foods.

The objective of this study was to evaluate their effects as the meat antioxidant and on the antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase during the refrigeration storage of ground beef, respectively. Ground beef loin was treated by three natural antioxidants(pycnogenol, catechin, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol) and the synthetic antioxidant(BHT) at the level of 0.01%(w/w) of total fat. Samples were refrigerated at $4{\sim}6^{\circ}C$ for 3, 5, 7 and 10 days to evaluate the color and the pH as the quality parameters, TBA value and fatty acid composition as the parameters of lipid peroxidation, and the activities of SOD and catalase. This study showed that catechin and pycnogenol were excellent in terms of meat color, pH and delaying lipid peroxidation and also maintained the activity of in vivo SOD and catalase better than ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and BHT. These results suggested that the duration of the refrigeration of ground beef may be prolonged up to 10 days in catechin and pycnogenol treated ones in terms of the lipid peroxidation, but 5 days of refrigeration will be more adequate if considering the microbial safety as food, too.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are typical probiotic microbes which are used in various industries including fermented foods, feed additives, and pharmaceuticals. The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of antioxidative activities of 23 strains of LAB isolated from cheese, kimchi, yogurt, and etc. LAB were tested for antioxidative activities such as 2,2'- azino-bis(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging abilities and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like ability. Antioxidative activities were examined different media such as MRS, M17, and 10% skim milk. Culture supernatant in M17 medium showed a higher antioxidative activity than these in MRS and 10% skim milk. Comparison of ABTS radical scavenging ability by the LAB showed a wide variation with a range from 9~93% and SOD-like ability of LAB ranged from 70~78%, respectively. Therfore, some of LAB can play important roles in the protection for oxidative stress and CPP-producing activity of LAB may be a promising material for application in the dairy industry.
