The results of the alcohol decomposition ability of Aronia melanocarpa are as follows. Plasma alcohol concentration of the Aronia group was ca. 48.9% lower than the control group, but half an hour faster in that of Aronia before alcohol group, ca. 54.9% higher and half an hour later than that of the control group. ALDH(acetaldehyde dehydrogenase) of the Aronia group was ca. 243% higher than that of the control group. But maximal ALDH of the group taking Aronia before alcohol administration showed 0.5h faster and ca. 267% higher than that of the control group. This result shows that the activity of ALDH was increased by the Aronia. Aronia group's AST and ALT are increasing with similar patterns and their levels continually under the control's, but ca. 12.6% lower at AST and ca. 19.0% lower at ALT than those of control group. Ca. 21.7% lower at AST and ca. 40.5% lower at ALT in the Aronia group before alcohol administration than those of the control group. This result shows that Aronia has a role of suppressor against the liver damage. Therefore, this study proved lucidly the protective effects of Aronia on the hepatocyte.

An ethanol administration causes hepatic triglyceride accumulation in rats. To assess whether the herbal extract containing Phaseoli radiati semen(herbal extract) inhibit s the triglyceride accumulation in the liver, we determined the hepatic triglyceiide levels in rats fed ethanol and the herbal extract. In addition, the blood ethanol concentrations and the activities of hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH) were measured to determine the effects of the herbal extract on alcohol metabolism in rats. The administration of the herbal extract markedly reduced the triglyceride levels elevated by ethanol in the liver as well as in the serum. The herbal extract remarkably lowered blood ethanol concentrations in a dose-dependent manner. The ADH activities decreased by ethanol were recovered to the normal level by the herbal extract treatment. Moreover, the ALDH activities slightly decreased by ethanol increased beyond the normal level by the herbal extract treatment. We conclude that the herbal extract inhibits the hepatic triglyceride accumulation and stimulates alcohol metabolism by preventing ADH and ALDH from inhbition by the ethanol administration in the rat liver.

강원 양양산과 중국산 헛개 나무 열매와의 활성 차이를 비교하기 위해 쥐 와 사람을 대상으로 생체 내 알콜 분해 속도에 대한동력학적 분석을 실시한 결과 양양산이 중국산에 비해 1-2 % 로 극히 적게나마 빠른 알콜 분해 속도를 보였으며 분획물 에서도 이와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 하지만 이 정도의 차이가 두 품종 간 알콜 분해 속도에 차이가 있다고 주장하기에는 유의성이 적어 일반적으로 두 생산지의 차이에 따른 알콜 분해 속도의 차이는 극히 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 두 추출물 모두 알콜만 섭취했을 경우보다 1-2 시간 정도 빠르게 알콜을 분해했으며 유용 성분이 농축된 분획물의 경우 조 추출물보다 1-2 시간 정도 빨라 분획물을 섭취한 경우 알콜만 섭취한 경우보다 약 2 배 정도 빠른 혈중 알콜 분해 속도를 보였다. ADH 와 ALDH 의 활성 증진에 대한 영향을 비교한 결과 조 추출물의 경우 중국산이 양양산 보다 약간 높은 효과를 보였으나 분획물에서는 그리 큰 차이가 없거나 양양산이 다소 높은 경향을 보였다. 특이한 것은 ADH 의 경우는 두 종의 분획물 모두 조추출물 경우 보다 50-60% 이상 활성 증진 효과가 두드러지게 나타났으나 ALDH 의 경우는 두 분획물 모두 활성 증진이 조추출물에 비해 10% 정도의 낮은 활성 증진 정도만 나타났다. 전체적으로 알콜만 섭취한 경우에 비해 헛개나무 열매 추출물을 동시에 섭취한 경우 ADH와 ALDH 효소의 활성이 약 30-60% 이상 증가하는 것이 확인되었으며 두 효소위 활성 촉진 정도가 공히 28-29% 정도를 유지해 ADH 와 ALDH 의 활성이 생체 내에서 균형을 이루고 있음이 입증되었다. 또한 헛개나무 추출물들은 ADH 보다는 ALDH 효소의 활성에 보다 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 숙취 원인 물질인 acetaldehyde 의 제거 에 효과적일 것이라는 평가가 가능하다. 이와 함께 간의 해독 작용 촉진 정도를 비교한 결과 중국산 헛개나무 추출물이 양양산 보다 상대적으로 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 0.6 g/L 이상의 농도에서는 효소 활성이 어느 정도 저해되는 현상을 보여 헛개나무 추출물이 간해독작용에 관여하는 효소와 competitive inhibition 관계에 있을 수 있다는 추론을 할 수 있다 . 하지만 두 종 모두 조 추출물과 분획물의 경우 120-300% 이상의 GST 효소 활성 증진 효과를 보여 생산지에 관계없이 간 기능 활성이 중요한 역할을 하고 있음이 입증되었다.

The Hovenia extracts showed a significant hepato-protective activity against alcohol and CC4-induced hepatotoxicity. Injection of CC4 and alcohol induced liver injury and increased serum GOT (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase) and GPT (glutamic pyuvic transaminase) levels in injured rats. The ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase)-like and ALDH (aldehyde dehydrogenase)-like activities in the Hovenia extracts were studied. Their activities in the extracts of Hovenia wood were higher than the extracts of other parts of Hovenia. And then Hovenia wood extracts have high effects on the alcohol and acetealdehyde degradation. The Hovenia extracts were decreased concentration of fusel oil. The ADH-like and ALDH-like activities in the Hovenia wood extract were 1.14 $unit/{\mu}l$, 0.33$unit/{\mu}l$ respectively.

We studied the effects of a single, combined and mixed exposure of benzene, toluene and xylene on the activities of rat liver microsomal AHH, ADH and ALDH, and the excretion of their metabolites in urine. The AHH activities of the rats treated in combination and mixture were slightly higher and/or similar to those rats treated with single solvent, while the reverse effects were observed for ADH and ALDH. Similar effects were observed when the metabolites were examined in urine (p < 0.01). These results suggest that each solvent might interJkre the induction and action of ADH and ALDH, and decrease the excretion of their metabolites into urine.

Sea tangle, a kind of brown seaweed, was fermented with Lactobacillus brevis BJ-20. The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content in fermented sea tangle (FST) was 5.56% (w/w) and GABA in total free amino acid of FST was 49.5%. The effect of FST on the enzyme activities and mRNA protein expression of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) involved in alcohol metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. Yeast was cultured in YPD medium supplemented with different concentrations of FST powder [0, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.0% (w/v)] for 18 h. FST had no cytotoxic effect on the yeast growth. The highest activities and protein expressions of ADH and ALDH from the cell-free extracts of S. cerevisiae were evident with the 0.4% and 0.8% (w/v) FST-supplemented concentrations, respectively. The highest concentrations of GABA as well as minerals (Zn, Ca, and Mg) were found in the cell-free extracts of S. cerevisiae cultured in medium supplemented with 0.4% (w/v) FST. The levels of GABA, Zn, Ca, and Mg in S. cerevisiae were strongly correlated with the enzyme activities of ADH and ALDH in yeast. These results indicate that FST can enhance the enzyme activities and protein expression of ADH and ALDH in S. cerevisiae.

Chloral hydrate(CH), an intermediate metabolite of trichloroethylene(TRI) is reduced to trichloroethanol(TCE-OH), and is oxidized to trichloroacetic acid(TCA) by the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD)-dependent enzymes such as alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH) in liver. This study was performed to find out the change of activity of ADH and ALDH with increasing amount of TRI. Intraperitoneal injection of TRI were done to the male Sprague Dawely rats(mean body weight, $170{\pm}10g$) in com oil at the dosage of 150, 300, 600 mg/kg for 2 days. The results of experiments are following : 1. The contents of xenobiotic metabolic enzymes in liver are tended to be decreased with increasing amount of, but not significantlly (p>0.05). 2. Activity of ADH in microsome is decreased(p<0.05), and activity of ALDH is increased with amount of TRI(P<0.05). 3. Total trichloro-compounds(TTC) concentration in urine are increased with amount of TRI, but the ratio of between the TCE-OH and the TCA were not shown any critical change. These results suggests that the ALDH in microsome may be related to metabolism of TRI, but ADH was nothing less than the effected to metabolism of TRI.

Lactobacillus 균주들의 에탄올과 acetaldehyde의 대사 가능성을 시험관내 및 생체내에서 시험하였다. ADH와 ALDH 활성은 L. brevis 균주들이 다른 Lactobacillus 균주들과 비교하여 높게 나타났으며, 특히 L. brevis HY7401은 가장 높은 ADH와 ALDH 활성을 나타냈다. L. brevis HY7401$(10^9\;cfu/mL)$을 2주간 하루에 1 mL씩 쥐에게 급여한 후 시험 14일째에 에탄올(4g/kg BW)을 경구투여하고 혈중 에탄올 양을 측정한 결과, L. brevis HY7401 급여에 의해 혈중 에탄올 수준이 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 에탄올 투여 6시간후의 혈중 에탄올 양이 각각 $1,195{\pm}92.9$(대조군) 그리고 $454{\pm}150mg/L$(HY7401군)으로 나타났다. 또한 L. brevis HY7401 급여한 군에서 소장내 에탄올 농도가 대조구와 비교하여 약 1/2수준이었으며, 초산 농도는 2배정도 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 이 연구결과들은 사람으로부터 분리된 L. brevis HY7401이 높은 ADH와 ALDH 활성을 갖고 있어 에탄올과 acetaldehyde를 대사한다는 것을 의미하고 있다. 또한 L. brevis HY7401을 쥐에게 급여함으로써 혈중 에탄올 수준을 낮출 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 시험은 흑홍삼이 함유된 혼합물의 숙취해소효능을 확인하기 위해 수행하였다. 효소원을 이용한 혼합 재료들 간의 ADH와 ALDH의 활성은 시중에 판매되고 있는 타사 비교군에 비해 현저히 높은 값을 보였다. 그리고 알코올을 투여하여 숙취를 유도한 시험동물의 혈중 에탄올의 양과 아세트알데히드의 양을 측정하여 생체 내 알코올 분해효능을 평가한 결과, 흑홍삼혼합물을 섭취한 군에서 알코올 투여 1시간 후부터 에탄올의 양은 숙취유도군에 비해 월등히 낮았으며, 시간이 지날수록 농도 의존적으로 에탄올의 양이 감소하였다. 주요 숙취 증상을 야기하는 아세트알데히드의 양은 숙취유도군에서 시간이 지날수록 증가한 반면, 흑홍삼혼합물 섭취군은 알코올 섭취 1시간 후부터 증가하였다가 시간이 지날수록 빠르게 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 흑홍삼혼합물이 알코올분해효소의 활성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 간 조직을 분리해 ADH와 ALDH의 활성을 측정한 결과, 흑홍삼혼합물을 섭취한 군이 타사 비교군에 비해 높은 활성을 보임을 확인하였다. 이상의 시험결과로 보아 흑홍삼 혼합음료는 혈중 에탄올의 흡수를 지연시킬 뿐 아니라, ADH와 ALDH의 활성을 증가시켜 혈중 에탄올과 아세트알데히드의 농도를 효과적으로 감소시켜 숙취해소 음료로 이용이 가능하리라 기대된다.

Introduction: Prostate cancer in Indonesia is the $3^{rd}$ ranking cancer among males and the $5^{th}$ rank for their cancer mortality. Prognostic markers that can identify aggressive prostate cancer in early stages and help select appropriate therapy to finally reduce the mortality are therefore urgently needed. It has been suggested that stem cells in the prostate gland have a role in initiation, progression, and metastasis of cancer, although controversy continues to exist. Maintenance of normal stem cell or reserve cell populations in several epithelia including prostate has been shown to be regulated by p63 and alteration of p63 expression is considered to have an oncogenic role in prostate cancer. We hypothesize that the expression of cytoplasmic aberrance of p63 is associated with high ALDH1A1 expression as a cancer stem cell marker, thus leading to progression of prostate cancer. Methods: Using a cross-sectional study during two years (2009-2010), a total of 79 paraffin embedded tissues of benign prostatic hyperplasia, PIN prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, low and high Gleason score prostate cancer were investigated using immunohistochemistry. Associations between cytoplasmic p63 and ALDH1A1, as well as with pathological diagnosis, were analyzed by Chi-Square test using SPSS 15.0. Links of both markers with cell proliferation rate (KI-67) and apoptotic rate (cleaved caspase 3) were also analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The mean age of patient at the diagnosis is 70.0 years. Cytoplasmic aberrance of p63 was associated with ALDH1A1 expression (p<0.001) and both were found to have significant relationships with pathological diagnosis (including Gleason score), (p=0.006 and p<0.001 respectively). Moreover, it was also found that higher levels of cytoplasmic p63 were significantly associated with the frequency of proliferating cells and cells undergoing apoptosis in prostate cancers (p=0.001 and p=0.016 respectively). Conclusion: p63 cytoplasmic aberrance is associated with high ALDH1A1 expression. These components are suggested to have an important role in prostate cancer progression and may be used as molecular markers.
