Doenjang is a traditional korean fermented soybean paste made from meju (fermented soybean), which are fermented by diverse microorganisms including Bacillus subtilis and molds such as Rizopus, Mucor, and Aspergillus species The purpose of this study was to investigate the antiobesity effect of the black soybean doenjang (Korean fermented soybean pastes) in C57BL/6 mice. The anti-obesity effect was determined by measuring the release of adiponectin, leptin and adipogenic transcription factors by using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot. Weight gain was significantly reduced in the mice fed high fat diets (HFD) plus black soybean doenjang (HBD) compared to HFD mice. The HBD were also effective in improving the lipid profile. They significantly decreased the levels of serum triglyceride and cholesterol. In addition, they had a significantly down regulated impact on antiobesity factors; leptin level and increased adiponectin level. Also, mRNA and protein expression of two adipogenic transcription factors, SREBP-1c and $PPAR-{\gamma}$, in high fat with black soybean fed mice were markedly down regulated. These results indicate that the black soybean doenjang potentiates an anti-obesity effect by modulating lipid metabolism, thereby inhibiting adipogenic transcriptional activation.

Seeds of Korean pine cone (Pinus koraiensis) have long been consumed as an edible food in countries located in North-East Asia, On the other hand, Korean pine cone, containing various polyphenols, is discarded as a useless garbage after removing seeds. This study investigated the lipolytic effects of pine cone extract in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Intracellular lipid accumulation was measured by Oil red O staining, free glycerol release by colorimetric reaction, and expression of genes related to lipid metabolism by real-time PCR. Compared to control, pine cone extract reduced intracellular lipid accumulation by 8.8% and increased free glycerol release by 8.2% a concentration of $5{\mu}g/mL$ in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. mRNA levels of fatty acid synthesis were not significantly different between control and pine cone extract, but mRNA levels of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) significantly increased by 38.7% and 94.1% at a concentration of $5{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Thus, pine cone extract is suggested to have lipolytic effects through induction of LPL and HSL gene expression.

Structured lipids (SLs) were synthesized by enzymatic interesterification with evening primrose oil (EPO) and rice bran oil (RBO) in a batch-type reactor. The interesterification was performed using a water shaker for 24 hr at $55^{\circ}C$. Mixing speed was set at 200 rpm and Lipozyme RM IM (immobilized lipase from Rhizomucor miehei, 10% by weight of total substrates) was used as a biocatalyst. Rice bran oil and evening primrose oil were interesterified with various molar ratios (RBO : EPO, 1:3, 1:4, and 1:5 mol/mol). Reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography connected with evaporative light-scattering detector was performed to separate the triacylglycerol (TAG) species of SLs. In the fatty acid analysis, $\gamma$-linolenic acid (7.9 mol%), linoleic acid (67.3 mol%) and oleic acid (13.2 mol%) were the most abundant fatty acids in the SLs. During 24 hr reaction, most of the reaction occurred within 3 hr. TAG compositions, tocopherols and phytosterols were also analyzed. In the TAG species analysis, LLL (ECN=42, L=linoleic acid) dramatically decreased when the reaction time increased.

We have synthesized ester compounds from the soybean oil and some Polymer alcohol compounds and studied the physical properties of the synthesized esters. We have performed this experiment for the purpose of testing the physical properties by soybean oil ester compounds as a water-soluble metal working lubricant.In addition, we have studied siy, surface tension, viscosity for the synthesized ester compounds in aqueous solution state varying the mixing ratio of water.

Salvia plebeia R. Br. (Lamiaceae) has been used in folk medicines in Asian countries, including Korea and China, to treat inflammatory diseases. The focus of our research was on the anti-adipogenic activity of ethanol extract from Salvia plebeia R. Br. (SPE) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. This study investigated inhibition of differentiation and lipogenesis upon SPE treatment in 3T3-L1 cells. The results reveal that SPE at non-cytotoxic concentration significantly suppressed triglyceride accumulation and reduced expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-alpha, and sterol regulatory element-binding protein as adipogenic transcription factors in 3T3-L1 adipocytes compared to non-treated control cells. Inducible phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase, acetyl CoA carboxylase, and hormone-sensitive lipase as well as carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 mRNA expression increased upon SPE treatment, which suppressed expression of fatty acid synthase. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that SPE can inhibit expression of adipogenic genes in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our study suggests that SPE has potential anti-obesity effects and is a novel therapeutic functional agent with anti-adipogenic activity via reduction of lipogenesis.

배추흰나비의 조직과 발생시기에 따른 발생 특이 큐티클단백질의 질적 분포를 조사하기 위해 전기영동법, western blotting 및 autoradiography 법을 사용하였다. SDS-PAGE에서 유충기에는 4개, 용기에는 3개의 단백질이 발생 특이 큐티클단백질로 확인되었다. 전기영동적 이동도로 보아 유충기의 62 Kd 큐티클단백질은 지방체 표피, 혈림프에 모두 분포하며. 22 Kd, 16 Kd 단백질은 지방체와 표피, 그리고 19 Kd 단백질은 지방체에서 확인되고 있으며, 용기의 37 Kd 단백질은 표피에서. 28 Kd, 27 Kd 단백질은 표피와 지방체에 분포하는 양상을 보이고 있다 면역학적 방법으로 발생 특이 큐티클단백질의 동질성을 조사한 결과 용기의 27 Kd 단백질은 표피와 지방체에서 반응을 나타내며, 유충기의 22 Kd 단백질은 단지 표피에서만 미약하게 이의 동질성을 보여주고 있다 즉, 27 Kd 단백질은 지방체 22 Kd 단백질은 표피에서 기원하고 있어 발생 특이 큐티클단백질의 합성부위는 한 조직에서 기원하는 것이 아니라 각기 상이한 조직으로 부터 생성되는 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 현재 우리나라에서 식용으로 많이 쓰이는 식물성 유지인 콩기름, 올리브유, 고추씨기름을 Gas Chromatography를 이용해 각 유지별 지방산의 정성, 정량하였으며 이들 유지의 산화 안정성 평가를 위하여 산화적 반응의 기작의 생성물인 휘발성 분해 산물인 Pentanal 생성을 비교하여 분석하였다. 1. Soybean oil의 지방산 조성은 불포화 지방산은 87.79%, 포화지방산은 12.21%를 차지했으며 Olive oil의 지방산 조성은 불포화 지방산은 82.77%, 포화지방산은 17.23%를 차지했다. Hot pepper oil의 지방산 조성은 불포화 지방산은 85.42%, 포화지방산은 14.58%를 차지했다. 2. 콩기름, 올리브기름, 고추씨기름의 pentane의 함량은 43.4, 30.4, 19.7nL로 측정되었다. 따라서 고추씨기름이 다른 유지에 비해 산화에 대하여 안정함을 알 수 있다. 이상의 결과로부터 실험에 선택된 콩기름, 올리브유, 고추씨기름에는 포화 지방산보다 불포화 지방산의 함량이 많은 것을 알 수 있었고, 특히 체내에서 합성이 불가능해 식품으로 섭취해야만 하는 필수 지방산의 함량이 높아 체내 생체 활동에 유용한 것으로 판단되었다. 산패도 비교 평가에서는 hot pepper seed oil이 olive oil이나 soybean oil보다 낮은 산패도를 나타내어 다른 유지보다 산화 안정성이 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다.

Polyurethanes, synthesized by polyester polyols and aliphatic or aromatic diisocyanates for a crease resist finishing agent, were prepared by two-step reactions, that is, prepolymer synthesis and chain extension. The structures of synthesized polyurethanes were confirmed by the measurement of FT-IR and $^1H$-NMR spectrometer. The number average molecular weight ($\bar{M}_n$) and the weight average molecular weight ($\bar{M}_w$) of the polyurethane with aromatic diisocyanate (MDI) were higher than those of the synthesized polyurethanes with aliphatic diisocyanate (HDI, $H_{12}MDI$). The glass transition temperatures ($T_g$) of soft segments in polyurethanes with MDI, HDI, $H_{12}MDI$ were -25,-42 and -50$^{circ}C$, respectively. In the polyurethanes obtained by two-step reaction, thermal stability and tensile strength increased with increasing hard segment contents, whereas elongation at break decreased with increasing hard segment contents.
