The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of sea tangle extracts on the excretion of neutral steroids and bile acid in diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed on AIN-76 based experimental diets containing methanol extracts (2%, w/w) or water extracts (4%, w/w) of sea tangle for 4 weeks. And then they were induced to be diabetic by receiving streptozotocin (45 mg/kg BW) intramuscularly. The dried fecal weight was increased significantly in water extracts group compared with control group. The fecal content of cholesterol was higher in extracts groups of sea tangle than in control group. But there was no significant difference in fecal excretion of cholesterol between methanol and water extracts groups. The fecal excretion of coprostanol was increased significantly in water extracts group compared with the control group. The fecal excretion of bile acid was increased significantly in sea tangle extracts groups compared to the control group. These data suggest that dietary supplementation of sea tangle extracts might reduce the incidence of atherosclerosis through increasing the excretion of neutral steroids.

양파(노란색, 붉은색, 흰색)의 열수 추출물이 DNCB로 감작된 4주령 BALB/c mouse 암컷에 유도된 접촉성 피부염의 억제효과를 조사하였다. 림프절, 비장 및 흉선의 무게는 양파 투여군이 DNCB 대조군보다는 낮게 나타났다. 양파 추출물을 투여한 군에서 귀의 무게는 양파 추출물의 농도가 높을수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 대조군과 비교하여 무게에 함량 변화가 있었다. 양파추출물을 1,000 mg/kg 농도로 투여하면 귀의 무게는 대조군과 유사한 수준까지 낮아졌으며, 귀의 두께는 양파추출물을 투여한 군에서 시간이 경과할수록 두께가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. MDA 함량은 DNCB대조군과 양파 투여군을 비교하였을 경우에, 간 조직에서 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 염증이 발생한 귀 조직에서는 차이가 나타났으며, NO 함량은 모든 양파그룹에서 염증이 억제되어 대조군에 유사하게 측정되었다.

This study was designed to test the effect of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) extracts on the intestinal microorganisms of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into normal, diabetic control and dandelion extract groups. The extracts were prepared by water, ethylacetate and ether from leaf and root, respectively. Diabetes was induced by injecting streptozotocin (55 mg/kg BW, i.p.) in citrate buffer. The extract was supplemented in 11.45g of raw dandelion / kg diet for 50 days. The growth of Lactobacillus was more enhanced in dandelion leaf-water and leaf-ethylacetate extract group than that of the diabetic control group, whereas the growth of E. coli decreased. Results indicate that the dandelion extracts would be effective to improve the intestinal microorganisms.

Quality characteristics of lotus root pickle added with beet water extract were investigated. Lotus root slices were salted with NaCl, soaked into pickling solution, and then stored at $20^{\circ}C$. Throughout the whole storage periods, pH, acidity, saltiness of pickles (control, 10% beet extract, 20% beet extract, 30% beet extract, 40% beet extract) ranged 3.45$\sim$3.51, 1.42$\sim$1.88% and 1.86$\sim$1.91, respectively. The pH of the experimental groups slowly decreased during the fermentation. The total acidity of the experimental groups were increased. In terms of color values, L and a values were decreased, but b values were increased, with increasing beet extract content. The hardness of lotus root pickles measured instrumentally was higher in lotus root pickle added with 40% beet water extract than in control pickle. Overall, based on sensory evaluation, lotus root pickle added 30% beet extract was preferred over the other samples.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Plantago asiatica L. extract on anti oxidative potential, free radical generation and the lipid levels in rats. Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were divided into two groups based on their diet, as follows: the AIN-76 diet (control group), and the modified AIN-76 diet(cholesterol 0.5%) with 0.5% P. asiatica extract, for 7 weeks. The body weight and teed efficiency ratios of the two groups did not significantly differ. The antioxidative potentials more significantly increased in the group that was fed P. asiatica extract than in the control group(p<0.05). There was no difference in the rate of free radical generation, though. The weights of the organs, such as heart, kidney, liver, and spleen, of the rats in the two groups did not differ, though. The ratio of the HDL cholesterol to the total cholesterol in the P. asiatica group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the other serum lipid parameters (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipids) did not differ between the two groups. These results imply that supplementation with P. asiatica extract may improve the antioxidant potential and decrease the lipid levels in the blood.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of korean pueraria radix extract in Pb administered rats. Forty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing $100{\pm}10g$ were used for this experiment and divided into following 6 groups; control group, 3% pueraria radix group(3% pue.), 100 ppm and 200 ppm alone pb group, 100 ppm and 200 ppm alone pb group with 3% pue. Tissue weight of liver, lung, stomach, heart, kidney and spleen of pb exposed rats were reduced by 3% extracts of pueraria radix group. The Pb content in the rats tissue of pb alone administered group was lower than in the rats tissue of pb group with 3% pue. GPT and GOT were increased in pb-administered group and lower in the 3% extracts of pueraria radix group. LDH was lower in the 3% extracts of pueraria radix-pb group than in the pb group. ChEase was higher in the 3% extracts of pueraria radix group than in the pb alone administered group.

This study investigated whether or not Citrus unshiu peel extract (CPE) affects fat accumulation in livers of rats fed an ethanol-containing liquid diet. Initially, male Sprague-Dawley rats were housed individually in stainless steel, wire-bottomed cages with free access to a Lieber-Decarli control liquid diet. Rats were divided by body weight into three groups of eight each: one group of rats was fed the Lieber-Decarli control liquid diet devoid of ethanol (control), another was fed the Lieber-Decarli ethanol diet (ethanol), and third was fed the same ethanol diet except containing CPE. All three groups were fed their respective diets for 6 weeks. Serum and liver lipids were analyzed and liver histology performed. Body weight did not differ among the groups over the 6-wk duration. Histology images showed that CPE administration significantly improved fat accumulation in livers, which was induced by ethanol diet. Serum levels of transaminases and lipids also were reduced by CPE consumption. Taken together, the results indicate that CPE may protect ethanol-induced fatty liver by lowering fat accumulation in both the liver and blood. The protective effects of CPE appear to be due to its phenolic contents.

생쥐의 체장, 신장 및 혈청내 LDH 활성에 있어서 간장과 신장에서는 염화메틸수은 투여군과 염화 메틸수진-홍삼추출물 투여군의 총 LDH 활성치가 대조군에 비하여 감소되었으나 염화 메틸수은-홍삼추출물 투여군의 활성치는 염화메틸수기 투여군 보다 약간 감소되었다. 혈청에서는 염화 메틸수은 투여군의 LDH 활성치가 대조군에 비하여 2배로 크게 증가되었으며 염화 메틸수은홍삼추출물 투여군의 활성치는 대조군과 유사하였다. LDH isosyme의 전기영동상에 있어서 간장의 대조군과 염화 메틸수은-홍삼적출물 투여군에서는 5가지 LDH isoBym삐 모두 나타났으나 염화 메틸수진투여군에서는 LDH1 제외한 4가지 LDH isosyme 나타났다. 신장과 혈청에서는 3군 모두에서 5가지 LDH isozyme 나타났다.

To develop tofu with bioactivity, red ginseng extract was added and soft tofu was prepared without pressuring and forming steps. Then, the content of antioxidant components and antioxidative activities were measured using the prepared soft tofu during storage. The contents of polyphenols of the control and the sample added red ginseng extract were $605.25{\mu}g/mL$ and $598.51{\sim}681.65{\mu}g/mL$. The content of the polyphenols was proportional to the concentration of added red ginseng extract. The content of ascorbic acid of the control was 6.42 mg%, and the ascorbic acid contents of the sample added red ginseng extract were higher than that of the control. The contents of polyphenols and ascorbic acid of control were lower than those of the sample added red ginseng extract during the storage. The addition of red ginseng extract increased reducing power and ABTS radical cation decolorization.

물(water, TW), 에탄올(ethanol, TE) 및 핵산(n-hexane, TH)을 이용하여 탱자씨 추출물(trifoliate orange seed extracts, TSEs)을 각각 제조한 후 그람양성 식중독균 6종(Bacillus cereus KCCM 11341, Bacillus subtilis KCTC 1022, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 12692, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 19111, Streptococcus mutans KCTC 3065 및 Yersinia enterocolitica KCCM 41657)에 대한 항균활성과 Lactobacillus acidophilus IFO 3025에 대한 프레바이오틱 효과(prebiotic effect)를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 탱자씨 핵산추출물(TH)은 S. aureus ATCC 19111에 대해 배양시간이 증가함에 따라 대조군에 비해 강한 증식저해활성을 보였으며, 탱자씨 에탄올 추출물(TE)은 약간의 증식저해활성을 보였다. 특히, 배양 81시간 후 대조군은 90.31%의 증식활성을 보인 것에 반해 탱자씨 핵산추출물과 에탄올추출물은 64.95%와 75.50%의 증식활성을 각각 보였다. 탱자씨 추출물의 Lb. acidophilus IFO 3025에 대한 프레바이오틱 효과는 대조군에 비해 증식활성을 보이지는 않았으나, 적어도 생육저해효과를 보이지는 않았다. 따라서 탱자씨의 핵산 및 에탄올 추출물은 S. aureus ATCC 19111에 대한 항균활성물질로서의 가능성을 제시하였다.
