The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of Salvia Plebia R. Br. (SP) powder on the antioxidative defense system and oxidative stress in rats which were fed a high fat high cholesterol diet. Accordingly, the rats were divided into four experimental groups which were composed of a high fat high cholesterol diet group (HF), HF diet with 5% SP powder supplemented group (PA), a HF diet with 10% SP powder supplemented group (PB), and a normal group (N). Consequently, the hepatic catalase activity of the HF group was decreased compared to the normal group (N), but it is recorded that of the PA and PB groups were significantly increased. With this in mind, the PA and PB groups resulted in the case of significantly increased activities of hepatic GSH-px and SOD. The hepatic superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide contents of the PA and PB groups were significantly decreased, as compared to the HF group. The GOT and GPT activities of the PB group were also significantly decreased when thus compared to the HF group. Notably, the carbonyl values contents of the PA and PB groups were significantly reduced compared to the HF group. The hepatic TBARS values in the liver were significantly reduced as measured in the PA and PB groups. These results suggest that the SP powder may reduce the incidence of oxidative damage, by the activation of an antioxidative enzyme in rats fed with high fat high cholesterol diets.

We investigated the anti-obesity effects of Ishige okamurae extract (IOE) on body weight, epididymal adipose tissue weight, plasma lipid levels, and leptin levels in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. After inducing obesity by feeding 45% HFD for 4 weeks, C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to HFD or HFD containing 5% IOE, and then fed for 6 weeks. The body weight and epididymal adipose tissue weight were increased by HFD, but they were significantly less in animals fed HFD containing 5% IOE than in those fed HFD. Levels of plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol were significantly lower, but the HDL-cholesterol level was significantly higher in animals fed HFD containing 5% IOE compared with the HFD group. The plasma leptin level was significantly lower in animals fed HFD containing 5% IOE. The diet containing 5% IOE did not show any adverse effects on liver and kidney functions. These results suggest that IOE has a potential as anti-obesity agent by reducing body weight and lowering the levels of obesity-related factors in plasma.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of Saengshik supplementation on lipid metabolism in rats fed high cholesterol diets. Male Spraque-Dawley rats were administrated 1% cholesterol to induce hypercholesterolemia and were fed on diet containing Saengshik (30%, w/w). Serum and liver lipid profiles and fecal bile acids excretion were examined after 7 weeks of experimental diet. The feeding of diet containing 30% Saengshik significantly decreased total cholesterol (TC) contents in liver and plasma. Since cholesterol was balanced by entero-hepatic circulation through bile acid synthesis and reabsorption, inhibition of bile acid re-uptake in intestine decreases total cholesterol in liver and blood. In this point, significant increament of fecal bile acid excretion in Shaengshik group decreased TC and improved hypercholesterolemia. Also plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) decreasing risk for coronary heart disease in Saengshik supplemented group was significantly higher than control group, whereas low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) accumulation in arterial vessel wall was significantly lower than control group. In this result, we supposed that supplementation of Saengshik, uncooked natural food, may improve hypercholesterolemia through increment of cholesterol excretion.

This study was designed to investigate effects of KH-305 on erectile dysfunction in hyperlipidemic rat. KH-305 has been evaluated for antihyperlipidemic and antierectile dysfunction effects on experimental hyperlipidemic rats induced by high cholesterol-diet. After oral administration of KH-305 water extract (50, 100, 200, 300 mg/kg) to hyperlipidemic rats for 8 weeks, the variables including body weight, total cholesterol, HDL-, and LDL-cholesterol levels in serum, the expression of eNOS and nNOS in penis were measured. Also, erectile function was determined by the measurements of intracavernosal pressure (ICP) and maximal arterial pressure (MAP) after electrical stimulation of the cavernosal nerve. Oral administration of KH-305 extracts significantly inhibited the increase of serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels and the decrease of serum HDL-cholesterol level in hyperlipidemic rats induced by high fat diet. The penile expression level of the two enzymes (eNOS, nNOS) were increased significantly after oral administration of the KH-305 extracts. Erectile function after 10 volts stimulation was significantly decreased in the hyperlipidemic rat compared with the normal rat, but increased in KH-305 group compared with hyperlipidemic group. These results suggest that KH-305 is effective for erectile dysfunction in hyperipidemia.

In Korean academic societies, old maps has not yet been properly investigated in terms of their genealogy, classification, detailed place names, historical backgrounds and the other aspects. With publication of the bibliographies and papers on old maps reserved in museum and library, the scope of research enlarged gradually its scope from 1970s. In 1980s, with the development of theoretical geography, scientific analysis were applied to investigate the projection method of Daedongyeo-jido. The 1990s proved a prominent decade for researches. The photo-copies of old maps enabled researchers to investigate the in-depth comparative study. The more important thing is that old maps became to be powerful instrument in the research of historical geography, such as territorial disputes and marine name(東海). And county old maps compiled by region became to be regional-cultural contents of local areas. Important issues in old map research in Korean academic societies are about Cheonha-do which is unique old world map in Korea, grid-system projection in old county maps and the genealogy of Daedongyeo-jido(manuscript and block print edition). This study shows that bibliography of all old maps preserved in each library and museum should be standardized. This could enable the exchange of information of old maps between institutes. The more important thing is that conciliation of human, social and natural sciences should be applied in the research of old maps.

The dietary effects of chicken treated with Hwangki-Beni Koji sauce (HBS) on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating and scavenging related enzyme activities in rats fed with a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet were investigated. The rats (five rats per group) were divided into a normal control diet group (NC), a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet control group (HFC), HFC plus base sauce-treated chicken supplemented diet group (HFC-BS), and a HFC plus HBStreated chicken supplemented diet group (HFC-HBS), and fed for 5 weeks. Total type T (T) and type O (O) hepatic xanthine oxidoreductase in HFC-HBS were 27.91-35.78% and 24.57-31.84% lower than those of HFC and HFC-BS, respectively. In HFC-HBS compared with HFC and HFC-BS, superoxidase dismutase activity was 62.89-64.50% higher, glutathione S-transferase activity was 19.29-25.17% higher, glutathione content was 25.11-53.30% higher, and lipid peroxide content was 20.29-24.19% lower. Therefore, chicken treated with HBS may prevent liver damage by the ROS formed from a high-fat and high -cholesterol diet.
