The present investigation was undertaken to study the status of plasma antioxidant vitamins in normal cycling and $\alpha$-tocopherol supplemented anestrus buffalo heifers. The pre-supplementation plasma levels ($\mu$mol/L) of vitamin E and $\beta$-carotene were significantly (p<0.05) lower and of vitamin C was significantly (p<0.05) higher in anestrus heifers (4.06$\pm$0.07; 4.56$\pm$0.17; 21.04$\pm$0.21) when compared to normal cycling ones (4.92$\pm$0.05; 6.76$\pm$0.12; 14.24$\pm$0.16). The oral supplementation of$\alpha$-tocopherol at 3,000 mg per week per animal in anestrus heifers resulted in a significant (p<0.01) increase in vitamin E and $\beta$-carotene levels and a significant (p<0.01) decrease in vitamin C concentration. Results indicated that supplementation of $\alpha$-tocopherol to anestrus buffalo heifers improved the antioxidant status by mitigating the harmful effects of free radical induced oxidative stress.

본 연구에서는 한국인의 주식인 쌀밥과 각종 잡곡밥에 함유된 토코페롤의 8가지 이성질체의 함량을 HPLC를 이용하여 분석하였다. 쌀밥에서는 8가지 이성체중 3개의 이성체가 검출되었고, 보리밥에서는 2개, 팥밥에서는 5개, 콩밥은 7개 그리고 여러가지 곡류의 혼합인 잡곡밥에서는 6개의 이성체가 검출되었다. 본 연구결과 쌀밥에는 alpha-토코페롤 외에도 alpha-, gamma-토코트리에놀이 검출되었고 그 값을 합한 토코트리에놀 함량은 alpha-토코페롤보다 더 높은 것으로 나타나 쌀밥의 비타민 E 영양가치는 일반적으로 알려진 것보다 더 높을 것으로 추정된다. 분석된 토코페롤 이성체의 총합인 비타민 E의 함량은 콩밥>잡곡밥>팥밥>쌀밥>보리밥의 순서로 나타나 콩밥과 잡곡밥의 영양적 우수성을 증명하였다. 따라서 매일 섭취하는 주식인 밥을 쌀밥에서 콩밥이나 잡곡밥으로 대치할 경우, 각종 성인병의 예방효과가 뛰어난 것으로 알려진 토코페롤과 토코트리에놀의 이성체를 골고루 꾸준히 섭취할 수 있으므로 쌀밥에 콩 등의 잡곡을 혼합하는 것이 건강증진을 위해 매우 중요한 사안으로 사료된다.

This study has examined the effects of Aralia elata Seemann ethanol extract on antioxidant enzyme systems inrats along with benzo($\alpha$) pyrene(B(a)P) administration . The ethanol extract of Aralia elata Seemann (50mg/kg body wt.) was fed to rats for 4 weeks by stomach tubing. The extract administration increased antioxidant activities of glutathione sulfur transferase(GST) comparing to the control. also total superoxide dismutase(SOD) and Cu, Zn-SOD activities were stimulated. Catalase activities were increased by 50% with the extract feeding compared to the control . Combined administration of B($\alpha$)P and the extract increased GST activity in B($\alpha$) P group. Although total SOD acitivity was decreased , Cu, Zn-SOD was greately increased from 0.10unit to 0.18 unit and catalase activity also was increased compared to the group of B($\alpha$) P. GST activity in CLE group was 1.32 unit, increased by 33% comparing to the group CL of 0.99unit. Cu, Zn-SOD and catalase activities in thegroup fed high fat and ethanol extracts were increased by 25% and 39%, respectivley comparing to the group of high fat. In addition , total SOD was decreased but, Cu, Zn-SOD acitivity was increased from 0.09 unit to 0.18unit. Catalase activity was 76.05 unit in the group of B($\alpha$) P and extract comparing to 65.26 units in B($\alpha$)P group. Serum $\alpha$-tocopherol of rat was markedly increased by theextract. Administration of B9$\alpha$)P reduced $\alpha$-tocopherol levels in the serum, on the other hand, lard in the diet increased $\alpha$-tocopherol levels in the serum. The above results indicate that Aralia bud exerts antioxidant functions in vivo against B($\alpha$)P. Further research may be necessary for the identification fo the biologically active material.

본 연구는 백서에서 전상악골 봉합부의 확장시 비타민 E($\alpha$-토코페롤) 복용의 골형성 효과를 조직계측학적으로 평가하기 위해 시행되었다. 30마리의 50 - 60일된 백서를 6마리씩 5개 집단(대조군과 실험군 4개 집단)으로 분류하였다. 모든 실험 집단에서 50 gm의 힘으로 전상악부를 확장하였다. 장치 장착 1일 후, 대조군(Group I)에는 생리식염수를, 실험군(Group II, Group III, Group IV)에는 $\alpha$-토코페롤을 각각 2 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg씩 전상악골 봉합부에 주사하였다. 다른 실험군(Group V)에는 장치 장착 3, 6, 9일 후 각각 10 mg/kg씩의 $\alpha$-토코페롤을 주사하였다. 10일간 유지한 뒤 봉합부에서의 골형성을 조직계측학적 방법으로 평가하였다. Kruskal-Wallis rank 및 Mann-Whitney U test를 사용하여 유의수준 0.05에서 통계분석하였다. 신생골 면적, 둘레, 직경의 계측치에서 실험군이 대조군보다 통계적으로 유의성있게 높은 수치를 나타내었다 (p < 0.001). $\alpha$-토코페롤을 주사한 집단에서 골 내부구조가 향상되었고, 확장으로 인한 골형성은 주사한 $\alpha$-토코페롤 용량에 비례하여 유의성있게 증가되었다. 백서에서 전상악골 봉합부의 확장시 초기 단계에서의 $\alpha$-토코페롤 주입은 골형성을 촉진하고 유지기간을 단축시킬 수 있을 것이다.

The present study was undertaken to analyze the status of erythrocytic malonyl dialdehyde (MDA) as an index of lipid peroxidation in normal cycling and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol supplemented anestrus buffalo heifers. Before supplementation, the blood samples were collected at weekly interval in anestrus and normal cycling buffalo heifers and data from four samples was pooled to establish pre-supplementation base line. Thereafter, the blood samples from anestrus and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol supplemented anestrus buffalo heifers were taken at fortnightly interval for 12 weeks during supplementation and for four weeks during the post-supplementation period. The pre-supplementation endogenous erythrocytic MDA, 0.3% $H_2O_2$ induced-erythrocytic MDA and 1.5% $H_2O_2$ induced-erythrocytic MDA levels (nmol/g Hb) increased significantly (p<0.05) in anestrus heifers ($372.3{\pm}5.0$, $564.4{\pm}5.7$, $862.4{\pm}8.5$) when compared to normal cycling animals ($289.6{\pm}3.0$, $508.2{\pm}6.0$, $777.7{\pm}4.9$). Oral supplementation of 3,000 mg of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol per week per animal in anestrus heifers resulted in a progressive and significant (p<0.01) decline in erythrocytic MDA levels. These observations implied that supplementation of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol to anestrus buffalo heifers ameliorated their antioxidant status by alleviating the effects of oxidative stress.

Serum $\alpha$-tocopherol was measured in cattle to evaluate normal range and to investigate the difference of $\alpha$-tocopherol levels between healthy cattle and diseased cattle. Seventy two heads of 1 year old beef Cattle have 429.9$\pm$77.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/100ml of Serum $\alpha$-tocopherol. The Serum $\alpha$-tocopherol values of calves with diarrhea(8 heads), pneumonia(6 heads) and piroplasmosis(4 heads) were 87.1$\pm$19.2, 126.3$\pm$45.7 and 106.3$\pm$30.9$\mu\textrm{g}$/100ml, respectively. But that of calves in good health (S heads) was 357.t$\pm$68.4 $\mu\textrm{g}$/100m1. And the values of diseased calves are significantly lower an that of calves in good health(p<0.05). Seasonaly, serum $\alpha$-tocopherol levels of dairy Holstein cows were 529.9$\pm$ 120.3(March), 540.2$\pm$127.2(June), 566.9$\pm$149.5(September) and 550,0$\pm$ 125.4(December)$\mu\textrm{g}$/100m1, respectively. The values on autumn was the highest than that of othor seasons. Serum H-tocopherol level of cows with retained placenta was 262.2$\pm$40.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/100m1. And the level of retained placenta was significantly lower than that of healthy cattle regardless seasonal variation(p<0.05).

Korean cabbage (Brassica campestris L.ssp.pekinensis) is one of the major cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables contain a rare series of secondary metabolites of amino acids called glucosinolates, as well as carotenoids, tocopherol, vitamin C and fibers. This study evaluated the effect of common cooking methods (boiling, microwaving, steaming and frying) on the phytochemical content (lutein, ${\beta}$-carotene, ${\gamma}$-tocopherol, and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol), and total antioxidant capacity of Korean cabbages, determined by DPPH assay and ABTS assay. Boiling caused a decrease in carotenoids, lutein and tocopherols. Microwaving and steaming were relatively good cooking methods for maintaining lutein, ${\beta}$-carotene, ${\gamma}$-tocopherol, and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. The overall results of this study demonstrate that some domestic cooking procedures, specifically microwave and steaming, increased the bioaccessibility of carotenoids and tocopherol, highlighting the positive role of the nutritional properties of Korean cabbage.

Kainic acid (KA), an agonist for kainate and AMPA receptors, is an excitatory neurotoxic substance. Vitamin E such as alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocotrienol is a chain-breaking antioxidant, preventing the chain propagation step during lipid peroxidation. In the present study, we have investigated the neuroprotective effects of alphatocopherol and alpha-tocotrienol on KA-induced neuronal death using organotypic hippocampal slice culture (OHSC). After 15h KA treatment, delayed neuronal death was detected in CA3 region. Alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocotrienol increased cell survival and reduced the number of TUNEL-positive cells in CA3 region. These data suggest that alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocotrienol treatment have protective effects on KA-induced cell death
