The present study was performed to investigate the effects of the plane of nutrition on growth performance and meat quality traits, especially marbling and PSE (pale, soft, and exudative), in finishing pigs. One hundred and four barrows and 102 gilts born to Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace dams and Duroc sires were randomly allocated to 16 pens at approximately 80-kg body weight, with 13 animals housed per pen except for two pens. Each eight pens received a diet containing either 3.4 Mcal ME/kg and 0.98% total lysine (high plane) or 3.1 Mcal ME/kg and 0.81% total lysine (medium plane). All animals were slaughtered at approximately 112 kg BW on an average, after which the Longissimus muscle (LM) was analyzed physicochemically. The ADG, ADFI, gain:feed as well as marbling score did not differ between the two dietary groups, whereas backfat thickness was greater in the high-plane group than in the medium-plane group (24.1 vs. 22.5 mm P<0.05). No LM exhibited PSE, i.e. $L^*$ (lightness) > 50, pH < 6.0 and drip loss > 5.0%, nor were these PSE-related variables influenced by the dietary treatment. Contents of crude protein and fat in LM did not differ between the two dietary groups. In conclusion, the present results suggest that growth performance and the occurrence of the PSE or 'watery' carcass are not influenced significantly by increasing the plane of nutrition in finishing pigs when the finisher is adequate nutritionally for supporting maximal lean growth. However, increasing the plane of nutrition is likely to result in an increase in fat deposition.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a very potent dilatator and a nonadrenergic, noncholinergic (NANC) neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the peripheral and the central nervous systems. The mechanisms of action of VIP were examined in aortic circular and in uterine longitudinal smooth muscle strips of the rat. The effects of sympathetic neurotransmitter were investigated in gastric and aortic circular muscle strips of the mouse and the rat. The effects of silver spike point, SSP, low frequency electrical stimulations of VIP, sympathetic neurotransmitter and $\beta$-endorphin were examined in plasma, serum and 24h urine from the healthy volunteer. In gastric smooth muscle strips from the mouse, adrenergic neurotransmitter norepinephrine was inhibitory effected, followed by caused phasic and tonic contraction to the, muscrine receptor agonist carbachol and acetylcholine, respectively. In urine from the healthy volunteer, both norepinephrine and epinephrine were significantly decreased in continue type and low frequency (3 Hz) of SSP electrical stimulations. The contractile responses to S-HT in uterine longitudinal smooth muscle strips of the rats were completely decreased by a VIP 1 $\mu$M. The contractile responses to PGF2$\alpha$ were not decreased by a VIP. In plasma and serum from the healthy volunteer, both VIP and $\beta$-endorphin were significantly increased in continue type and low frequency (3 Hz) of SSP electrical stimulations. Therefore, this study demonstrate that VIP has the capacity to relax vascular or gastric smooth muscles in part by stimulating the generation of NO, and silver spike point low frequency electrical stimulation has the capacity both to decrease sympathetic neurotransmitters and to increase VIP, $\beta$-endorphin.

Cyclosporin A (CyA) produced by Tolypocladium inflatum is a promising drug owing to its immunosuppressive and antifungal activities. From an industrial point of view, the necessity to obtain a suitable and economic medium for higher production of CyA was the aim of this work. The present study evaluated the effect of different fermentation parameters in solid state fermentation, such as selection of solid substrate, hydrolysis of substrates, initial moisture content, supplementation of salts, additional carbon, and nitrogen sources, as well as the inoculum age and size, on production of CyA by Tolypocladium inflatum MTCC 557. The fermentation was carried out at $25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 9 days. A combination of hydrolyzed wheat bran flour and coconut oil cake (1:1) at 70% initial moisture content supported a maximum production of $3,872{\pm}156\;mg$ CyA/kg substrate as compared with $792{\pm}33\;mg/kg$ substrate before optimization. Furthermore, supplementation of salts, glycerol (1% w/w), and ammonium sulfate (1% w/w) increased the production of CyA to $5,454{\pm}75\;mg/kg$ substrate. Inoculation of 5 g of solid substrate with 6 ml of 72-h-old seed culture resulted in a maximum production of $6,480{\pm}95\;mg$ CyA/kg substrate.

A sensitive and selective method for quantitation of sofalcone and its active metabolite in human plasma has been established using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS/MS). Plasma samples were transferred into 96-well plate using an automated sample handling system and spiked with 10 $\mu$L of 2 $\mu$g/mL $d_3$-sofalcone and $d_3$-sofalcone metabolite solutions (internal standard), respectively. After adding 0.5 mL of acetonitrile to the 96-well plate, the plasma samples were then vortexed for 30 sec. After centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred into another 96-well plate and completely evaporated at 40 ${^{\circ}C}$ under a stream of nitrogen. Dry residues were reconstituted with mobile phase and were injected into a $C_{18}$ reversed-phase column. The limit of quantitation of sofalcone and its metabolite was 2 ng/mL, using a sample volume of 0.2 mL for analysis. The reproducibility of the method was evaluated by analyzing 10 replicates over the concentration range of 2 ng/mL to 1000 ng/mL. The validation experiments of the method have shown that the assay has good precision and accuracy. Sofalcone and its metabolite produced a protonated precursor ion ([M+H]$^+$) of m/z 451 and 453, and a corresponding product ion of m/z 315 and 317, respectively. Internal standard ($d_3$-sofalcone and $d_3$-sofalcone metabolite) produced a protonated precursor ion ([M+H]$^+$) of m/z 454 and 456 and a corresponding product ion of m/z 315 and 317, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of sofalcone and its active metabolite in human plasma.

The accelerated thermal aging of a CSPE were carried out for 0, 80.82, 161.63 days at $100^{\circ}C$, which are equal to 0, 40 and 80 years of aging at $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The volume electrical resistivities of the seawater and freshwater flooding were measured through 3-terminal circuit diagram. The volume electrical resistivities of the 0y, 40y and 80y were $2.454{\times}10^{13}{\sim}1.377{\times}10^{14}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, $1.121{\times}10^{13}{\sim}7.529{\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and $1.284{\times}10^{13}{\sim}8.974{\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at room temperature, respectively. The dielectric constant of the 0y, 40y and 80y were 2.922~3.431, 2.613~3.285 and 2.921~3.332 at room temperature, respectively. It is certain that the ionic ($Na^+$, $Cl^-$, $Mg^{2+}$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $K^+$) conduction current was formed by the salinity of the seawater. The volume electrical resistivity of the cleaned CSPE via freshwater trends slightly upward with the number of dried days at room temperature. As a result, the $CH_2$ component of thermally accelerated aged CSPE decreased after seawater and freshwater flooding for 5 days respectively, whereas the atoms such as Cl, O, Pb, Al, Si, Sb, S related with the conducting ion ($Na^+$, $Cl^-$, $Mg^{2+}$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $K^+$) component increased relatively.

홍마늘과 생약재 5종(생강, 도라지, 모과, 진피, 박하)이 혼합된 조성물의 항염증 활성을 검증하고자 홍마늘 50%와 천연식물류 5종을 각각 10%씩 혼합한 조성물을 물과 에탄올로 $70^{\circ}C$ 및 $95^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 동안 추출하여 각각의 추출물을 제조하였다. 총 페놀화합물은 $70^{\circ}C$에서 에탄올로 추출 시 608.60 mg/100 g으로 가장 높은 함량이었으며 물 추출물에서는 이보다 낮은 함량이었다. 홍마늘의 유효성분인 alliin과 SAC는 $70^{\circ}C$에서 물로 추출하였을 때 각각 1.29 mg/g과 2.60 mg/g으로 에탄올 추출물에 비해 유의적으로 높은 함량이었다. 홍마늘과 5종 천연식물류 복합추출물의 DPPH와 ABTS 라디칼 소거활성은 $70^{\circ}C$에서 에탄올로 추출하였을 때 각각 15.96-73.65%와 5.71-77.19%로 가장 높았다. NO 생성억제 활성은 물 추출물 보다는 에탄올 추출물에서 더 높았으며 $70^{\circ}C$ 보다는 $95^{\circ}C$에서 추출하였을 때 더 활성이 높았다. ROS 생성은 에탄올 $95^{\circ}C$ 추출물이 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 대조군 대비 약 64.92%로 가장 활성이 높았다. iNOS와 $IL-1{\beta}$의 발현량은 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도의 $95^{\circ}C$ 에탄올 추출물에서 LPS 단독처리군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 홍마늘 및 생약재 복합 추출물의 항산화와 항염증 활성은 서로 다른 유용물질의 영향으로 발현이 되며, 이들 유용물질은 추출용매와 온도에 따라 함량이나 구성이 서로 상이하였다.

최근 개발된 마늘 가공품의 일종인 흑마늘의 생리활성 규명을 위한 연구의 일환으로 흑마늘의 제조공정을 4단계로 나누어 각 단계마다 시료를 채취하여 이화학적 성분의 변화 및 항산화 활성을 비교하였다. 흑마늘의 색은 제조공정을 거치면서 L, a 및 b값이 모두 감소하였는데 내부색의 경우 가공 초기에 크게 감소하였다. 수분은 1단계에서 65.54${\pm}$0.24 g/ 100 g였던 것이 4단계 시료에서는 $58.48{\pm}0.41$ g/100 g까지 감소하였고, pH도 점차 산성화되어 4단계 시료에서 4.22${\pm}$ 0.02, 반면에 숙성이 진행될수록 서서히 증가하는 경향이었다. 총 페놀화합물과 플라보노이드는 1단계시료에 비해 최종단계에서 각각 약 1.9배, 2.6배 증가하였다. Total pyruvate와 thiosulfinate도 비슷한 패턴으로 각각 약 1.6배, 5.8배 증가하였다. 유리당 중 가장 함량이 높은 fructose는 1단계에서는 1,403.03${\pm}$6.24 mg/100 g였던 것이 4단계에서는 2,454.45${\pm}$ 4.20 mg/100 g으로 증가하였으나, 반면에 이당류인 sucrose와 maltose는 흑마늘의 숙성과 더불어 서서히 감소하는 경향이다. 흑마늘의 제조 단계별 무기물의 총량은 4단계시료에서 1,009.20${\pm}$6.91 mg/100 g으로 가장 많았고, 흑마늘 중 무기물은 칼륨, 인, 마그네슘 및 칼슘의 순으로 높게 검출되었다. 흑마늘의 구성아미노산은 glutamic acid의 함량이 가장 많았고, 다음으로 proline과 aspartic acid였으며, 유리아미노산은 taurine, homocysteine 및 ${\delta}g$-hydroxylysine은 1단계 혹은 2단계 시료에서는 검출되지 않았으나, 2단계 혹은 3단계 이후 시료에서 미량 검출되었다. 흑마늘 가공 중 물추출물과 에탄올 추출물의 DPPH에 대한 전자공여능은 숙성이 진행될수록, 추출물의 첨가 농도를 높일수록 점차 증가하여 4단계시료의 1,000 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 에탄올 추출물은 45.63${\pm}$0.43%, 물추출물은 67.40${\pm}$0.21%로 시험된 시료 중 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 환원력은 100 및 500 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 1, 2단계 시료를 제외한 모든 시료에서 물추출물이 에탄올 추출물 보다 높은 활성을 보였다.
