Lipoprotein lipase(LPL) is an acylglycerol hydrolase and is the extrahepatic enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of triglyceride-rich plasma lipoproteins. LPL has been isolated from bovine milk by affinity chromatography on heparin-sepharose in 2M NaCl, 5mM barbital buffer, pH 7.4. Para-nitrophenyl butyrate(PNPB) was used as a substrate for the determination of LPL activity. Molecular weight of LPL was 55KD on 10% SDS-PAGE. When the effects of heparin on LPL activation were compared, LPL activity of heparin added group increased approximately 5 times higher than that of heparin non-added groups. These results indicated that heparin involved in the stabilization of LPL structure that led to increase enzyme activity. Furthermore, LPL activity increased about 4 times compared to the absence of heparin at various pH. LPL was stabilized when heparin was added either low or high salt concentrations. With the presence of heparin, NaCl concentration did not affect LPL activity at pH range 6∼9.

Human plasma low density lipoprotein(LDL) is the main carrier for cholesterol, and recent studies suggest the normal LDL can be readily oxidized by free radical and not interact with LDL receptor. Lipoprotein pariticles are consisted of lipid andprotein, and fatty acids of lipoproteins are prone to oxidation. LDL particles readily undergo oxidative modification by copper. From the results, oxidized LDL altered its biological properties. A marked increase in the electrophoretic mobility of LDl on agarose gel indicated that negative surface charge of the LDL particles was increased. Also, the results from the HPLC showed that oxidized LDL was degraded into several polypeptides nonenzymatically. Degradation tests which measured the amount of 5-IAF labelled oxidized LDL were carried out by monocyte and hepatocyte cell culture. Hepatocyte cell culture of modified LDL did not show consistent pattern. However, binding rate of modified LDL with HMDM(human monocyte derived macrophage) was enhanced with oxidation, but was retarded by addition of antioxidants(hyaluronic acid, vitamin A, vitamin E). Also comparisons of oxidized-LDL, acetyl-LDL and MDA-LDL showed significant differences in the chemical properteis and binding affinity to HMDM. Thus, modificaition of normal LDL altered its biological properties.

The effect of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and ${\beta}$-carotene supplementation on reducing the oxidative damag in the liver of rats were studied. Forth-five male Sprague Dawley aged 4 weeks were randomly assigned to 9 groups of five for the 12 weeks of the study. Nine groups, sardine oil, sardine oil＋Vt E, sardine oil＋${\beta}$-carotene, soybean oil, soybean oil＋Vt E, soybean oil＋${\beta}$-carotene, lard, lard＋Vt E, lard＋${\beta}$-carotene group, were prepared. Sardine oil, soybean oil, or lard was used for dietary fat and 200% of ${\alpha}$ -tocopherol or 150% of ${\beta}$-carotene was supplemented to each diet. Each diet supplied 65% of total energy as carbohydrate, 15% as protein, and 20% as lipid. The MDA value and protein carbonyl contents of sardine oil group were significantly different(p<0.05) to those of other fat groups indicating that the most severe lipid oxidation occurred in the group fed diet containing highly polyunsaturated fatty acid. When ${\alpha}$-tocopherol or ${\beta}$ -carotene was supplemented to the sardine oil diet, MDA value(-35%, -15%, respectively) and protein carbonyl content(-44%, -32%, respectively) decreased significantly(p<0.05). Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase activities of three different sardine oil groups with or without antioxidants were lower than those of soybean oil or lard group. The reducing effect of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol on oxidative damage in sardine oil group supplemented with ${\alpha}$-tocopherol was noticeable(p<0.05). However the adverse effect of ${\beta}$-carotene was observed. SOD and catalase activities of ${\beta}$-carotene supplemented groups were that the lowest among the same fat groups, but the differences were not statistically significant. The possible cause of decreased enzyme activity seemed to be related to the vitamin A(Vt A) toxicity in the liver where retinol converted from dietary ${\beta}$-carotene in the intestinal mucosa was stored.

Phospholipid(PL), phosphatidylcholine(PC) and phosphatidylcholine free PL(PCF) were extracted from squid viscera and the antioxidant effects of each fraction on the oxidation of refined fish oil were evaluated. Polyunsaturated fatty acid contents were the highest in PC(46.7%) followed by PL(44.8%) and PCF(40.9%). The effects of each phospholipid fraction on stabilizing fish oil were compared by incubating at 40$^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. At the initial period(2 days), changes in peroxide value did not show any significant difference ; however, as incubation time was extended, PC fraction showed the strongest antioxidant activity. PL and PCF added to fish oils also resulted in increased stability against oxidation. Antioxidative effect of PC at the 5% level was equivalent to 0.05% BHT, 1% catechin and 1% tocopherol.

어유는 고도불포화지방산 함량이 높아 산화가 쉽게 되므로 식품가공용이나 기능성식품으로 응용되기에는 많은 제약이 따른다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 어유의 산화안정성을 예측할 수 있는 기본 모델을 다음과 같은 식을 이용하여 제시하였다. $dp/dt=k{\cdot}p(t){\cdot}[P_{max}\;-\;p(t)]$. 상기식을 적분하면, $p(t)=P_{max}/[1\;+\;[(P_{max}/P_{(0)})\;-\;-1]{\cdot}EXP(-K_p{\cdot}t)]$. 여기서 산화온도가 50, 60와 70 및 $80^{\circ}C$ 일 때, $K_p$는 각각 0.00535, 0.01345와 0.02516 및 0.04657였다. 상기식은 대부분 측정치와 잘 일치하였다. 또한 $K_p$를 아래와 같이 온도의 함수로 표현할 수 있었다. $K_p=(1/P_{max})EXP\;[1\;-\;(8148/T)+20.1]$. 여기서 T 절대온도($^{o}K$)이다.

The neutral sugar sidechains of apple pectins were hydrolyzed by commercial hemicellulase produced from Aspergillus niger, and the corresponding changes in solution viscosity were investigated in dilute(cc*) pectin solutions. Pectinase activity included in hemicellulases was removed by Epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B affinity chromatography using polygalacturonic acid as a ligand. Enzymatic hydrolysis of sidechains did not affect the specifc viscosity of dilute(0.5%) pectin solutions, while viscosity significantly decreased in concentrated(2.0∼6.0%) region. These results strongly suggest that the sidechains of pectins exists as an entangled state in concentrated solutions. It was also found that in the concentrated region the extent of viscosity reduction was dependent on pectin concentrations.

Eightly nine common Korean foods were analyzed by the enzymatic-gravimetric method developed by Prosky et al. and adopted by AOAC to determine total dietary fiber(TDF) content. The average TDF content of the foods analyzed was 4.78${\pm}$3.55% for cereal and grain products, 2.56${\pm}$1.65% for potatoes and starches, 1.94${\pm}$0.77% for sugar and sweets, 10.81${\pm}$6.57% for pulse and pulse products, 9.70${\pm}$5.92% for nuts and seeds, 15..38${\pm}$15.76% for seasonings, and 4.98${\pm}$4.35% for beverages. The foods containing the highest TDF values in the food groups were whole grain barley(17.88%) in cereals, yellow soybean(21.05%) in pulses, black sesame(21.34%) in nuts and seeds, and red pepper powder(39.37%) in seasonings except San Cho powder(52.43%). TDF content of rice, the main staple food of Korea, was 2.75% for brown rice and 0.96% for well-milled rice. The TDF value of the foods analyzed ranged from 0.12 to 23.4 times that fo crude fiber reported in the Korean food composition tables. When we consider dietary fiber contents of foods and food consumption patterns together, it is recommended to consume brown rice instead of well-milled rice and increase the consumption of minor cereals and pulses to raise dietary fiber intake.

고들빼기 김치의 식품학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 김치 제조과정 중의 식이섬유질 함량과 구성 변화를 실험하였으며, 진공동결건조 김치분말에 대한 보수력과 오일 흡착력을 측정하였다. 어린 고들빼기일수록 중성 세제 섬유질(NDF) 및 산성세제 섬유질(ADF)의 함량이 많았으며 뿌리부분에는 잎부분에 비하여 적은량의 식이섬유질(ADF 및 NDF)가 함유되어 있었다. 성숙한 뿌리를 제외하고는 일반적으로 5% 식염수에 침지할 경우에는 식이섬유질 함량은 높아지나 발효가 진행됨에 따라 이들 섬유질의 함량은 서서히 줄어들고 있었다 셀룰로오즈가 산성세제 섬유질의 90%를 차지하는 것으로 보아 김치제조과정 중의 식이섬유질 함량 변화는 일부 가용성 식이섬유질의 유출 및 셀룰로오즈의 구조변화에 영향을 받은 것으로 생각되었다. 보수력과 오일흡착력은 식이섬유질 함량변화와 비슷한 결과를 보였으며 오일 흡착력은 보수력의 40% 정도였다.

모델시스템에서 얻어진 tyrosinase의 효소적 산화반응생성물 (enzymatic oxidation products of tyrosine ; EOPTs) 그리고 동 반응의 중간 또는 최종 물질로 알려진 두가지의 표준 물질 즉, dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)과 melanin에 대한 일련의 항산화 특성을 살펴보았다. Tyrosine-tyrosinase 반응시스템(pH 6.5, 온도 $25^{\circ}C$, 시간 0~120분)에서 얻어진 EOPTs는 전반적으로 200~210, 280, 310~320 그리고 450~490mm에서 정점을 갖는 광학적 흡수특성을 보였으며 15분 후에는 450~520nm에서 강한 흡수특성을 나타냈다. EOPTs의 리놀레산에 대한 산화반응 억제 효과는 다 같이 최초 반응 물질인 tyrosine 보다는 현저히 높고 반응초기(1~3분)의 것이 후기의 것들 보다 높았다. 또한 tyrosine, DOPA 및 melanin 등의 표준물질에 있어서는 tyrosine 보다는 다른 두 물질에서 항상화 효과가 더 높았고 그 중 DOPA의 항산화력이 가장 높게 나타났다. 한편 이들의 유리기 소거능은 tyrosine 보다는 다른 두 표준물질에서 높았으며 이러한 산화반응 물질들은 다양한 항산화 특성을 나타내고 있으며 특히 최종 갈변생성물 보다는 중간물질에서 더 높은 효과를 보이고 있다. 그러나 아직은 그 작용 메카니즘이 분명치 않으며 앞으로 더 규명되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Ornithine decarboxylase(ODC) catalyzes the first and key step in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. Ornithine decarboxylase is known to the enzyme that increase substantially its activity in regenerating liver. We found that activity and mRNA level for ODC increase significantly after partial hepatectomy in the rat. After laparotomy, there was significant decrease in activity ; however, mRNA content was unaltered in contrast to previous reports of no change in ornithine decarboxylase and thymidine kinase after sham hepatectomy. This may be mediated by the decrease in food intake after hepatectomy. Therefore it is necessary to examine the effect of food intake after hepatectomy on the ODC activity and mRNA level in the future.

Volatile compounds in raw oyster and oyster hydrolysate produced with protease were compared by vacuum simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Sixty-two volatile compounds were detected in both samples. Of these, 57 were positively identified, composed mainly of aldehydes(12), ketones(9), alcohols(14), nitrogen-containing compounds(9), acids(6), terpenes(4), and miscellneous compounds(8). Levels of acids decreased after hydrolysis, whereas several other compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, and nitrogen containing compounds increased. Pyrazines, found in high abundance, were only detected in oyster hydrolysate.

The optimal condition for hydrolysis of oyster was evaluated with proteases using response surface methodology(RSM). Among 11 commerical proteases, APLTM 440 was selected as the suitable protease for producing oyster hydrolysate on the basis of cost per unit enzyme activity. The effect of autolysis on degree of hydrolysis in oyster was negligible comparing to that of APL 440 protease treatment. From RSM and ridge analysis, the conditions favoring the highest degree of hydrolysis were pH 9.95, 61.1$^{\circ}C$, 2.64 hr reaction time, 49.2% substrate, and 0.35% enzyme/substrate ratio. Oyster hydrolysate prepared under optimal conditions shwoed virtually 51.98% of hydrolysis.

단세포 단백질 자원으로 이용 가능한 균주로 알려진 Candida utilis ATCC 42416 균체를 생산하기 위하여 무를 파쇄하여 얻은 무즙을 배지로 균체배양 실험을 하였다. 무즙의 수용성 고형물과 총 당량은 각각 5.0~8.8 Brix와 3.5~6.5%였다. C. utilis ATCC 42416 균주를 무즙에 접종하여 $30^{\circ}C$에서 200rpm으로 진탕 배양하였을 때 24시간 이내에 증식이 끝났으며, 단위 소모당에 대한 최대 균체 생산량은 당농도 1% 회석 무즙에서 L당($5\;\times\;DCRI$) 21.5g의 건조균체를 생산하였다. 5배 회석무즙에 약간의 영양소 glucose(2.0%), yeast extract(0.2%), peptone(0.2%), ammonium sulfate(0.2%) 및 $KH_2PO_4(0.2%)$ 등을 각각 보강하여도 증식 속도, 균체생산 및 세포 단백질 함량 등에 차이가 거의 없어서 무즙자체가 C. utilis ATCC 42416 균체 생산에 좋은 기질이었음을 알 수 있다.

The antimutagenic effects of juices from green pepper(GP), red pepper leaf(RPL), red pepper(RP) and sweet pepper(SP) were examined by the Ames method using Salmonella typhimurium TA100. The juice supernatants of GP, RPL and RP showed antimutagenic activities against afltoxin B1(AFB1) in Salmonella typhimurium TA 100. The juice supermatants of GP and RPL also exhibited the inhibitory effects(p<0.05) to the mutagenicities induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG) and 4-nitro-quinoline-1-oxide(4-NQO). The juice of RP showed antimutagenic activities against indirect mutagen of AFB1, however, the activity was reduced at higher concentration(5.0%), furthermore, as the adding concentration of sample increased to 5.0%, it exhibited slight comutagenicith on direct mutagen of MNNG. Theantimutagenic activities of GP and RPL juices were reduced significantly after heating at 100℃ for 20min, supposing that the antimutagenic compound(s) in the juices were heat labile.

The improtant components of extracellular matrix(ECM) are collagen and chondroitin sulfate. The hydrophobic surface of collagen is one of the determining factors of diameter of collagen fiber and also is closely related to the aging phenomena. The controlling mechanism of the diameter of collagen fiber influenced by the interaction with chondroitin sulfate was evaluated using bis-ANS as a hydrophobic probe. Hydrophobic surface area of collagen molecule shielded by chondroitin sulfate was evaluated. Relative fluorescence intensity of collagen in thepresence of chondroitin sulfate was measured using bis-ANS as a hydrophobic probe. The fluorescence intensity decreased with the increase in chondroitin sulfate up to 3.8 chondroitin sulfate/collagen(mole/mole). Further increase in the ratio of chondroitin sulfate to collagen did not change the fluorescence intensity. Similar changes in the relative fluorescence intensity were observed for both rat tail and lathyrific rat skin collagen. The fluorescence intensity indicated by the binding between bis-ANS and hydrophobic sites of collagen was pH dependent, and the shielding effect of collagen-chondroitin sulfate interaction could not be detected at pH above 6.0. This is probably due to the charge repulsions caused by negative charged collagen molecules at higher pH.

Alkylpyrazines in snow crab cooker effluent(SCCE) and effluent concentrate(EC) were quantitatively analyzed and compared by simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(SDE/GC/MS). A total of 11 pyrazines were identified in both SCCE and EC. Amounts of tetramethylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, trimethylpyrazine, and 2,6-dimethylpyrazine were 23.0, 21.1, 13.8, and 13.3 times higher, respectively, in EC than those in SCCE. The total amount of pyrzines in EC (1664.0${\pm}$171.1ng/g) was 8.1 times higher than that in SCCE(204.5${\pm}$32.2). The compounds, ethylpyrazine and 2-ethyl-3,6-dimethylpyrazine, were only detected in EC.

The ether extract of Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix(SMR) was fractioned to give five subfractions, so that two subfractions of them were recrystallized to yield each pure diterpene quinone pigment. On the basis of spectral evidence, these two compounds were identified as tanshinone II and crytotanshinone. Cryptotanshinone exhibited both of a potent platelet anti-aggregating activity in vitro and a potent antimicrobial activity. GC-MS analysis of the other extract showed that tanshinone II was contained in the largest proportion of all the diterpene quinones. In addition, GC-MS analysis gave other valuable analytical informations.

아스코르빈산-리듐 유도체의 항바이러스의 작용을 검토하기 위하여 여러 종의 박테리아 파이지를 이용하여 이에 대한 불활성화를 조사하였다.아르코르빈산-리듐 유도체는 조사된 모든 파야지에 대하여 불활성화를 보이므로서 항바이러스 작용이 있음을 알 수 있었다. Lithium 2-o-octadecyl ascorbate의 파야지 불활성화 작용은 lithium ascorbate와 아스코르빈산 보다 10~20배 정도 강하였다. 이러한 결과들은 아스코르빈산-리듐 유도체도 아스코르빈산과 마찬가지로 항바이러스 작용이 있으며 그 정도는 아르코르빈산과 비슷하거나 또는 좀 더 강함을 보여 주었다.

유선에 존재하는 유선 상피 모세포(mammary epithelial stem cells)의 존재 증거, 정상 조직에서 이들의역할, flow cytometry 및 면역 염색법에 의한 세포 분리, 세포 기질 단백질을 이용한 삼차원적 세포 배양에서의 증식 등을 요약한다. 유선의 실질 조직에 상피 모세포가 존재한다는 것은 여러 형태의 이식 실험에서 설명되었고 또 모세포의 표현형적 특징들은 여러 가지의 monoclonal antibodies에 의해 논증되었다. 이들 연구의 결과들은 유선의 모세포군이 end bud와 유선의 기저층(basal layer)에 존재한다고 제시하고 있다. 이들을 분리, 동정하기 위해 FITC-PNA와 PE-Thy-1.1 항체와 같은 세포 표지자를 이용하여 유선 상피 세포를 4군으로 나눌 수 있었다. FITC-PNA에만 양성 반응을 보인 PNA+ 세포군, PE-Thy-1.1에만 양성 반응을 보인 Thy-1.1+ 세포군, 이들 두 표지자에 양성 반응을 보인 B+ 세포군, 그리고 양쪽에 음성 반응을 보인 B- 세포군이었는데 이들을 flow cytometry로 분리하고 생체에 이식 실험을 하였을 때 PNA+ 세포군이 유선 모세포들을 가장 많이 가진 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 유선 상피세포로 이루어진 유선 조직 절편(organoids) 이들 상피세포군을 세포외기질 단백질체인 Matrigel 내에서 배양한 결과 a) stellate, b) duct, c) web, d)squamous, e) lobuloduct 등 5종류의 다세포 구조물이 생성됨을 확인하였다. 이들 중 편평상피화생의 구조물은 정상적인 유선 조직에서는 나타나지 않는 구조물인데 all-trans retinoic acid를 처리하였을 때 배지의 조정에 따라 다소 차이는 있으나 대부분 이들 편평상피화생의 생성이 억제됨을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 본 연구에 이용된 생체 이식법 및 삼차원적 세포외기질 세포 배양법이 상피세포의 성장, 분화 및 모세포 연구에 유용하게 이용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
