A new technique combining forced-feeding and dorsal aorta cannulation was developed to monitor concentration of nutritions in the blood circulation and their metabolites in rainbow trout. To study the effect of dorsal aorta cannulation on stress, 30 rainbow trout (523$\pm$5.4 g; Mean$\pm$SD) were divided into 6 groups of 5 individuals each. A group was anesthetized and blood samples were taken at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 or 48 h after dorsal aorta cannulation. Hematocrit peaked at 6 h and returned to 0 values by 12 h after dorsal aorta cannulation. Plasma cortisol and glucose concentrations also peaked at 6 h and returned to 0 values by 48 h after dorsal aorta cannulation. Based on the plasma cortisol and glucose concentrations, the rainbow trout recovered from the operation of dorsal aorta cannulation within 48 h. To compare the patterns of plasma free amino acid concentrations after force-feeding in the fish with dorsal aorta cannulation, 5 dorsal aorta cannulated individuals (511$\pm$6.2 g) were kept in a cage. After 48 h starvation, they were anesthetized and blood samples were taken at 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36 or 48 h after forced-feeding. The concentration of all plasma free amino acids, except isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan, also peaked at 4 h and returned to 0 values by 24 h after feeding. The combined technique allows forced-feeding and repeated sampling of blood in rainbow trout with minimum stress.

General composition and cholesterol contents of chicken 4 parts (breasts, thighs, legs without skin, and wings with skin) were analyzed. Fatty acids, amino acids, and mineral contents of breasts and thighs were also analyzed and compared with sirloin parts of beef and pork. Lipid contents of chicken parts (1.2% in breasts, 2.8% in thighs, and 14.9% in wings) were lower than those of beef and pork. Protein contents of chicken parts (22.9% in breasts, 19.7% in thighs, and 17.6% in wings) were higher than those of beef and pork. Cholesterol contents of chicken parts (99.0 mg% in wings, 80.8 mg% in thighs, and 56.7 mg% in breasts) were higher than those of beef and pork. However, saturated fatty acid contents of chicken (31.6~32.9%) was lower than those of beef (40.8%) and pork (42.7%). In the meanwhile, unsaturated fatty acid contents of chicken (67.1~68.4%) was higher than those of beef (59.2%) and pork (57.3%). Essential fatty acid contents of chicken (16.6~16.9%) were 1.6 times as high as that of pork (10.4%) and 5 times as high as that of beef (3.9%). Major amino acids composition were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and leucine. Ten essential amino acid contents were 11,860 mg% in breasts and 10,454 mg% in thighs, and the ratio of essential amino acids (41.7~44.1%) was similar to those of pork and beef. Mineral contents of chicken were similar to those of pork and beef despites of slight different mineral contents in thighs and breasts.

For the purpose of investigating the influence of pollen load un alcohol metabolism in rat, we analyzed quantitatively amino acids of pollen load, and investigated the changes of hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) activity and hepatocyte morphology in rat administrated various concentrations of alcohol and various amounts of pollen load. 18 species of amino acids including phenylalanine in the sunflower pollen load were quantitatively analyzed, and it was found that the amount of phenylalanine, leucine, threonine, lysine are especially higher than that of the other amino acids. The liver ADH activity of experimental animals decreased with the proportion of ethanol concentration much more in ethanol administrated group than in control group, while increased in pollen load mixed with ethanol administrated group, but didn't increased as much as that in control group. In any case the less the degree of ethanol concentration was administrated, the higher the liver ADH activity increased. There was fat infiltration in the hepatocyte of ethanol administrated animals, and remarkably little fat infiltration in that of animals administrated pollen load mixed with ethanol.

단백질을 함유하지 않은 식이를 5일간 먹인 쥐에게 동량으로 혼합된 필수 아미노산 혼합물(amino acid mixture)을 투여 하여 ornithine $\delta$-transamiaase(OT)를 유도(induction)한 군과 또한 amino acid mixture를 먹인 후 $6{\sim}9 \;1/2$시간 후에 glucose를 동시에 먹인 군에서 OT의 유도 기전을 보기 위하여 방사성 동위원소인 L-methionine-$CH_{3}-C^{14}$ 또는 L-Phenylalanine-$H^{3}$(uniformly labelled) 을 사용하여 유도전 OT를 pulse label하여 준비된 항체로 각각 유리 분리시켜서 방사능을 측정하였다. Amino acid mixture만을 투여한 군에서는zero time에 비해 OT활성은 6시간 후에 1.5배, 12시간 후에는 약 3배, 18시간 후에는 13배가 증가되었다. 또한 OT에 incorporate된 표지 아미노산의 방사능은 6시간 후에 1.5배, 12시간 후에 약 3배가 증가 되었을을 보였다. 그러나 이 기간동안 간장의 total soluble protein에 incorporate된 표지 아미노산의 방사능은 거의 증가하지 않았다. 그러므로, amino acid mixture에 의한 OT의 증가는 고유하게 유도되었으며 이때의 관성의 증가는 OT 단백질의 분해률의 감소에 의한 것이 아니라 순수하게 OT 단백질의 생합성에 의찬 증거라고 볼 수 있다. amino acid mixture를 투여한지 6시간 후에 glucose 용액을 동시에 먹인 쥐에서는 OT 활성은 증가를 하였으나 amino acid mixture만을 먹인 군보다는 약간 감소를 보였다. 또한 glucosedp이 투여된 후에는 OT에 표지 아미노산이 더 이상 incorporate되지는 않아 방사능의 증가는 보이지 않았으나 glucose가 투석될 당시보다 더 이상 감소되지는 않았다. 그러므로 glucose에 의한 유도에 대한 억제 (repression)는 단백질의 분해률의 증가에서 온 것이라기 보다는 OT 단백질의 생합성을 억제하여서 $OT_{1}$활성을 감소하지 않았는가 본다.

The effect of diet with Laminaria religiosa on egg quality were investigated. Isa Brown chicken (28 weeks old) were raised for 10 week. The addition level of Laminaria religiosa to each treatment was 0, 10 and 20%, respectively. No difference in egg yolk and white color was found among treatment. The contents of Ca, Fe, K and Mg were increased but of P decreased with the feeding of Laminaria religiosa. Total mineral content were increased from 860.9 mg% to 936.8 mg%. Tensile strength of egg shell was improved from $63g/cm^2$ to $77g/cm^2$. Total cholesterol content were reduced from 1,760 mg% to 1,113 mg%. Among the analyzed amino acids, the content of each amino acid was reduced except histidine increased from 2,024.0 mg% to 2,119.6 mg%. Essential amino acids in the total amino acids, 42.1% to 42.6%, were hardly changed among treatments.

A cDNA (SeMIPS) encoding myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase has been isolated from developing sesame (Sesamum indicum L. cv. Dan-Baek) seeds and its structure and function analyzed. The SeMIPS protein was highly homologous with those from plant species (88-94%), while a much lower degree of sequence homology (60%) was found with that of human. The functional domains commonly found in MIPS protein were identified and their amino acid residues were compared with each other. Northern blot indicated that the expression of the SeMIPS gene might be organ-specifically regulated. A complementation assay based on a yeast mutant system confirmed that the SeMIPS gene encodes a myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) of sesame by showing functional expression of the SeMIPS cDNA in the yeast mutants containing the disrupted INO1 gene.

After establishment of methodology for the separation and quantitation of optical isomer existed in food or biomaterial, the relationship between isomer and nutrient or biological sample was investigated. The optical isomers of standard amino acids and free amino acids were quantitized and the protein was assayed from the Korean bean, pasted bean, soy sauce, gochujang, powderd milk and cataract followed by hydrolysis and dervatization with TFA-IPA for GLC analysis with chirasil val column. Amino acids showing the racemization were alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and phenyl alanine. The most convenient amino acid deducing age and biological activity was aspartic acid. Glutamic acid and phenyl alanine have shown poor resolution with less racemization. The ratio of d-form amino acids was 3~6% for home made pasted bean, about 3% for commerical pasted bean, 2~4% for soy sauce, about 1% for bean, 1~2% for cataract, 1.0~1.5% for powdered milk. The racemization during fermentation process was significant.

In this research chromoproteins, namely phycoerythrin and phycocyanin in Korean laver are isolated and purified and their characteristics and the contents of amino acid are investigated. Three kinds of laver, Yonpyungdo product, Jindo product, and Kohung product are used in the experiments. The results are as following: 1) 0.68g of phycoerythrin and 0.72g of phycocyanin are isolated from 50g of laver. 2) when observed by microscope (1,000 times amplification), the crystals of phycocrythrin have the shape of small needles and phycocyanin that of platelets. 3) Absorption spectra of purified phycoerythrin shows strong absorption peaks at 546, 526, and $496m{\mu}$,and phycocyanin shows strong absorption peaks at 610 and $546m{\mu}$. After the phycoerythrin and phycocyanin were kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for 24 and 48 hours. The peaks of phycoerythrin are slightly shifted and those of phycocyanin are decreased. 4) In amino acid analysis, sixteen kinds of amino acids are detected in phycoerythrin and phycocyanin. Amino acids found in the greatest amounts in phycoerythrin are glutamic acid, alanine, glycine and leucine. Essential amino acids are found to exist in phycocyanin in greater amounts than in phycoerythrin.
