취장 외분비 기능 부전은 임상적으로 영양결핍, 발육부전, 지방변동을 유발하나 이의 치료로는 결려된 소화효소 보충 등 보존적 요법만 시행될 뿐 근본적인 치료법은 없는 실정이다. 지난해 과제는 합성 단백분해 억제물질인 Camostat이 취장의 비대와 중식을 일으키며 또한 단백분해 효소분비를 증가시킴을 보고한 바 있다. 이를 토대로 최근 보고된 실험적 취장 외분비기능 부전 모델을 이용하여 camostat의 효과를 검색하고자 하였으며 아울러 이를 CCK효과와 비교하였다. 실험동물로는 몸무게 200 g 안팎의 수컷 Sprague-Dawley계 흰쥐를 사용하였으며 취장기능 부전은 oleic acid (25 $\mu$/100 g bw)를 취관내 주입하여 유발하였다. Camostat은 200 mg/kg씩 위내 투여(i.g.)하였으며 CCK(CCK-8)는 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg씩 하루 2회 피하주사하였고 투여기간은 각각 3, 7, 14 일간으로 하였다. 각 약물 투여 후 취장 외분비 기능과 조직학적 검색을 실시하여 다음과 같온 결과를 얻었다. 1. Oleic acid의 취관내 주입으로 흰쥐의 취장 무게, 조직내 효소단백 함량 및 효소분비량이 현저히 감소되었고 조직학적으로 심한 위축과 섬유화를 관찰할 수 있었으며 이는 주입 후 기간이 지남에 따라 계속 진행하였다. 2. 취장기능 부전 유발 흰쥐에서 camostat 처치로 조직내 효소단백 함량 및 효소분비가 증가 되었으며 이는 14일간 처치군에서 뚜렷하였다. 3. 취장 기능부전 유발 횐쥐에서 camostat 처치는 조직학적으로 기능적인 외분비 조직이 유지되었으며 이는 3일군에서 특히 뚜fut하였다. 4. 취장기능부전 유발 횐쥐에서 CCK 처치효과는 camostat 처치효과와 비슷하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 oleic acid 주입은 취장기능부전 연구에 유용한 실험모델로 생각되며 합성 단백 분해 효소 억제제인 Camostat은 취장외분비 기능 부전의 진행을 억제하고 어느정도 그 기능을 호전시킬 수 있으며 이는 CCK유리에 기인한다고 생각한다.

For development of microbial additives applicable to in-vessel composting system of food waste, thermophilic bacteria which showed amylase, protease, lipase and cellulase activity were isolated from soil, compost and food waste. Among 81 isolates, the growth characteristic of 20 strains with high enzyme activity were examined. All strains are Gram positive rod with catalase activity and 17 strains are spore formers. At $50^{\circ}C$, most of the strains were able to grow from pH 5 to pH 10 and in presence of 8% of NaCl. In trypticase soy broth, the growth of these strains was greatly increased by aeration, but decreased at elevated temperature above $50^{\circ}C$.

To shorten the processing of cheese slurry, four different slurries, ie, Control, Cheddar 1 and 2, and Italian-type that were made of Na-caseinates, cream, trace elements, lactic culture, and enzymes were fermented at $30^{\circ}C$ for 7days with daily stirring. PH, titratable acidity, soluble nitrogen, viable cell count, active SH groups, total volatile fatty acid, free fatty acid, electrophoretic patterns of degraded caseins, and viscosity were analyzed to investigate physicochemical properties of fermented slurries. Acid production was accelerated in the cheese slurries with protease than that without the enzyme and PH of the former was decreased after three days of fermentation to 4.90. The Change of titratable acidity agreed to PH patterns. Soluble nitrogen of the Control slurry was increased slowly for four days and then rapidly to 40% of total nitrogen while those containing protease to 70%. The protease of lactic cultures used (Streptococcus lactis and Streptococcus cremoris) broke down as-casein more rapidly than $\beta$-casein and most proteins were degraded to peptides and amino acids after three days of fermentation. Total volatile fatty acids were increased by added lipase and free fatty acids composition analyzed by GLC in cheddar slurry with 0.00001% lipase was similar to that of commercial cheddar cheese, while that in Italian-type slurry was a half of that in commercial Italian cheese. Active SH groups were increased in the cheese slurries with glutathione from fourth day of fermentation. The viscosity of slurries decreased very rapidly by addition of protease.

This study was conducted to investigate total polyphenol contents and antioxidative effects of the enzymatic hydrolysates digested by several kinds of carbohydrases from the powder of ripened pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata), sweet pumpkin (C. maxima) and green pumpkin (C. moschata). The total polyphenol contents of all enzymatic hydrolysates from green pumpkin powder were higher than those of ripened and sweet pumpkins. DPPH radical scavenging activities of the enzymatic hydrolysates digested by AMG and Termamyl from green pumpkin were also very strong compared to ripened and sweet pumpkins. However, the most enzymatic hydrolysates of ripened and sweet pumpkin powders, except Viscozyme digestion, were higher superoxide anion scavenging activities than green pumpkin powder. Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities in the enzymatic digests (not Ultroflo) of green pumpkin were potent compared to other pumpkin powders whereas hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were low at less than 14% in hydrolysates of all pumpkin species. Nitric oxide scavenging activities were very effective in Viscozyme digests of sweet and green pumpkin, and other enzymatic hydrolysates also showed higher activity than $\alpha$-tocopherol control (not BHT).

A bacterial strain NO. AM-28, showing proteolytic activity against defatted soybean was isolated from domestic soil. The isolated strain was identified as Aeromonas hydrophila by both the biochemical tests using API kit and the analysis of cellular fatty acid profile with MIDI system. The protease production from A. hydrophila AM-28 was highly enhanced when it was cultivated in the medium containing glycerol as a carbon source, tryptone or $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ as a nitrogen source, and $CaCl_2$ as a mineral source. The optimal pH and temperature for the enzyme was 8.0 and $65^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable up to $55^{\circ}C$ and at pH values ranging from 7.0 to 13.0. The enzyme activity was inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and EDTA, indicating that serine residue and metal ions be involved in enzyme activity.

Microorganisms which can degrade organic compounds such as proteins, lipids, and cellulose in food wastewater, were isolated from food wastewater, livestock wastewater, earthworm, and etc. Among these, eleven strains which showed higher degrading activities against three organic compounds, were finally isolated, characterized, and identified. Nine strains were found to be Bacillus species, and other two were to be Enterobacter sp. and Pantoea agglomerans. The strains FWB-5 (Bacillus pumilus), FWB-6 (B. lichenisformis) and OD-4 (Pantoea agglomerans), isolated from food wastewater and livestock wastewater, respectively, showed higher three enzyme activities to organic compounds, especially to cellulose, compared to other strains. The optimal growth conditions for the great enzyme activities were at $37^{\circ}C$ with pH 7.0 for FWB-5 and OD-4 strains, whereas, these were at $25^{\circ}C$ with pH 7.0 for FWB-6 strain.

Chrysanthemum zawadskii, a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Compositae, grows wild in Asian countries, including Japan, China, and Korea. The biological, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities of C. zawadskii have been reported, its antiobesity activity has not been elucidated. In the present study, the effect of C. zawadskii methanol extract (CZME) on pancreatic lipase enzyme activity, adipocyte differentiation, and adipogenesis was investigated using an in vitro assay and a cell model system. CZME effectively suppressed lipase enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner. CZME also inhibited insulin, dexamethasone, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (MDI)-induced adipocyte differentiation, lipid accumulation, and the level of triglyceride in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner, without cytotoxicity. The antiobesity effect of CZME might be modulated by gene and protein expression of cytidine-cytidine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine (CCAAT)/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBP) α, C/EBPβ, and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR γ). CZME also triggered lipolysis in a dose-dependent manner in MDI-induced 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Taken together, these results provide important new insights into the antiobesity activities of C. zawadskii, showing that they involve pancreatic lipase inhibition, as well as antiadipogenic and lipolysis effects. CZME might be a promising source in the field of nutraceuticals. However, the active compounds that confer the antiobesity activities of CZME need to be identified.

Alcoholic steatosis is a fundamental metabolic disorder and may precede the onset of more severe forms of alcoholic liver disease. In this study, we isolated enzymatichydrolysate from Semisulcospira libertine by alcalase hydrolysis and investigated the protective effect of Semisulcospira libertine hydrolysate on liver injury induced by alcohol in the mouse model of chronic and binge ethanol feeding (NIAAA). In an in vitro study, the hydrolysate protects HepG2 cells from ethanol toxicity. Liver damage was assessed by histopathological examination, as well as by quantitating activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). After the administration of S. libertina hydrolysate, fat accumulation and infiltration of inflammatory cells in liver tissues were significantly decreased in the NIAAA mouse model. The elevated levels of serum AST, ALT, and ALP activities, along with the lipid contents of a damaged liver, were recovered in experimental mice administrated with S. libertina hydrolysate, suggesting its role in blood enzyme activation and lipid content restoration within damaged liver tissues. Moreover, treatment with S. libertine hydrolysate reduced the expression rate of cyclooxygenase (COX-2), interleukin $(IL)-1{\beta}$, and IL-6, which accelerate inflammation and induces tissue damage. All data showed that S. libertine hydrolysate has a preventive role against alcohol-induced liver damages by improving the activities of blood enzymes and modulating the expression of inflammation factor, suggesting S. libertine hydrolysate could be a commercially potential material for the restoration of hepatotoxicity.

이온성 계면활성제 존재하에서 유기용매에 물을 첨가하면 물이 계면활성제에 약해 둘러싸이면서 유기용매에 용해되어 의사 이상계가 형성된다. 이러한 계를 역미셀 또는 W/O microemulsion이라고 하며 계면활성제로 둘러 쌓인 물분자 집하체를 water pool이라고 한다. 그런데, 10여년 전 water pool에 bipolymer를 용해시킬 수 있다는 사실이 밟혀짐에 따라 이러한 체계를 생체막을 단순화시킨 모형막으로서 막을 통해 일어나는 여러 가지 현상의 규명에 이용하거나 물에 불용성인 기질의 효소 촉매반응의 반응계로 이용하는 연구가 꾸준히 이루어져 있다. 본 강연은 역미셀계에 리파제를 용해시켜 유지의 가수분해를 유도함으로써 지방산을 생산하는 방법에 관한 연구이다. 역미셀계에서 리파제의 특성은 에멀전계와 비교했을 때 큰 차이가 없었으며 물과 계면활성제의 몰 비율(R값)은 효소의 초기반응 속도에 커다란 영향을 끼치는 인자로 나타났다. 올리브유 농도가 5%(v/v), AOT농도가 0.1M, 초기 물 농도가 1.0M의 조건에서 유지의 회분식 가수분해 실험을 행한 결과 이 기질은 거의 완전히 가수분해되었으며, 이 반응계에서 R값과 초기 물 농도는 반응의 평형에 커다란 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났는데 초기 물 농도가 증가할수록 평형 가수분해율은 증가하였단 이러한 결과를 반응속도론 측면에서 분석한 결과 역미셀계에서 리파제 반응은 에멀전계에서와는 달리 2차 반응을 따르는 것으로 나타났다. 물 농도가 평형 가수 분해율과 속도 변수에 끼치는 영향을 수학적으로 표시하기 위하여 2차 가역적 반응 속도론에 근거하여 가수분해율, 평형상수, 속도상수 둥을 나타내는 식을 유도하였고 이를 바탕으로 여러 가지 실험 조건 하에서 리파제 반응의 반응 시간에 따른 가수분해율을 예측한 결과는 실제 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다(편차는 5%). 또한 속도상수와 R값과의 관계식 및 유도한 방정식을 이용하여 추정한 초기속도와 평형 가수분해율을 최대화하는 R값은 각각 10.4 와 11.4 였다.

Salsola collina (S. collina) is an annual plant widely distributed in drought and semi-drought areas, which has been used for a long time as a kind of folk remedy in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of hypertension. Previously, the anti-oxidative and anti-cancer activities of S. collina were elucidated in our research group. In this study, the anti-obesity activities of S. collina ethanol extract (SCEE) were evaluated using a pancreatic lipase enzyme inhibition assay and cell culture model. The results showed that SCEE effectively suppressed pancreatic lipase enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, SCEE significantly suppressed adipocyte differentiation, lipid accumulation, and triglyceride (TG) content, and triggered lipolysis on insulin, dexamethasone, and 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine-treated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner without cytotoxicity. Its anti-obesity effect was modulated by cytidine-cytidine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine (CCAAT)/enhancer binding proteins ${\alpha}$ ($C/EBP{\alpha}$), $C/EBP{\beta}$, and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) gene, as well as protein expressions. Taken together, these results offer the important new insight that S. collina possesses anti-obesity properties, such as pancreatic lipase inhibition and anti-adipogenic and lipolysis effects through the modulation of their upstream signaling pathway. It could become a promising source in the field of nutraceuticals, and the identification of active compounds that confer the biological activities of SCEE may be needed.
