This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of antioxidative activity and nitrite scavenging ability of each fractions from Phyllostachys bambusoides S. et Z. (P. bambusoides) trunk ethanolic extract using reverse-phase flash chromatography. Among the each fractions, fraction 3 $(H_2O\;:\;MeOH\;=\;1:1)$ showed high DPPH free radical scavenging activity (81.33%) at $80\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentrations and strongly inhibited autooxidation of pyrogallol by superoxide dismutase-like activity (45.8 %) at 0.46 mg/mL concentrations compared with different fractions. The fraction 3 was also increased to 76.62% cell viability against hydrogen peroxide-mediated cytotoxicity. Nitrite scavenging ability was the most remarkable under pH 1.2 condition among various pH regions examined and effectively exhibited to 65.6% by treatment of the fraction 3 with a concentration of 0.2 mg/ml. In general, nitrite scavenging ability decreased with higher pH condition. These results suggest that fraction 3 from P. bambusoides ethanolic extract can be used for bioacitve and functional materials.

Efficacy of antioxidative activity and nitrite scavenging ability of methanol extract from Acanthopanax sessiliflorus was investigated. Electron-donating ability of extract at $RC_{50}$ was 29.93 ${\mu}g/mL$. After addition of 0.96 mg/mL extract, autooxidation of pyrogallol decreased to 22.85% by superoxide dismutase-like activity. In antioxidative activity of extract against linoleic acid during incubation times of 24, 48, 96 hours at $40^{\circ}C$, lipid peroxidation values significantly decreased by 48.89%, 45.0%, 46.34% with addition of 0.2 mg/mL, respectively. Total phenolic content was determined as gallic acid equivalents (GAE) and values revealed $410.25{\pm}4.74$ GAE ${\mu}g/mg$ of extract. Nitrite scavenging ability showed the most remarkable effect at pH 1.2, exhibited to 88.3% by addition of 0.2 mg/mL. These results suggest that methanol extract from A. sessiliflorus can be used as bioactive and functional material.

Ethanol induces compoundhemorrhagic gastric lesions and causes a dose-dependent decrease in the concentration of endogenous nonprotein sulfhydryls in rat gastric mucosa. Sulfhydryl-containing drugs protect rats from ethanol - induced gastric lesions. Based on this findings, we investigated the involvement of sulfhydryl compounds in the antioxidant effects of Puerariae radix, a traditional herbal medicine, against ethanol - induced gastric lesions in the absence and presence of iodoacetamide(IDA. sulfhydryl blocking agent) in rats. respectively. Because of the known role of sulfhydryls in gastric cytoprotection, its role in gastric antioxidation was of intrest. In vitro, Puerariae radix extract(PRE) reduced linoleic acid autooxidation and exert DPPH radical scavenging effect. In vivo. PRE increased antioxidants(SOD, catalase. GSH) and reduced lipid peroxide level in ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions. But treatment with PRE plus IDA significantly inhibit the antioxidant effects such as SOD and GSH but did not affect catalase levels. These results suggest that Puerariae radix may play roles in the gastric cytoprotection through antioxidant effects and increase of SOD activity and GSH level are dependent of endogenous sulfhydryls.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting $1\%$ of the population above the age of 65 and is characterized by a selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Although the underlying cause of dopaminergic cell death or the mechanism by which these cells degenerate is still not clearly understood, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and protein misfolding are thought to play important roles in the dopaminergic degeneration in PD. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is synthesized exclusively in the monoaminergic, including dopaminergic, cells and serves as an endogenous and obligatory cofactor for syntheses of the potential oxidative stressors dopamine and nitric oxide. In addition to its contribution toward the syntheses of these two potentially toxic molecules, BH4 itself can directly generate oxidative stress. BH4 undergoes oxidation during the hydroxylation reaction as well as nonenzymatic autooxidation to produce hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radical. We have previously suggested BH4 as an endogenous molecule responsible for the dopaminergic neurodegeneration. BH4 exerts selective toxicity to dopamine-producing cells via generation of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. BH4 also induces morphological, biochemical, and behavioral characteristics associated with PD in vivo. BH4 as well as enzyme activity and gene expression of GTP cyclohydrolase I, the rate-limiting enzyme in BH4 synthesis pathway, are readily upregulated by cellular changes such as calcium influx and by various stimuli including stress situations. This points to the possibility that cellular availability of BH4 might be increased in aberrant conditions, leading to increased extracellular BH4 subsequent degeneration. The fact that BH4 is specifically and endogenously synthesized in dopaminergic cells, Is readily upregulated, and generates oxidative stress-related cell death provides physical relevance of this molecule as an attractive candidate with which to explain the mechanism of pathogenesis of PD.

골격근의 longissimus dorsi근(white muscle) 및 soleus근(red muscle)과 심장근(cardiac muscle)의 근섬유간 지질의 산패량과 각종 영향인자의 첨가효과를 비교하였다. 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 지질의 산패량은 white muscle>red muscle>cardiac muscle의 순이었으나, 지질함량으로 보정된 산패량에는 white muscle과 red muscle사이에 차이가 없으며, 따라서 지질 산패량은 근육의 지질함량에만 지배받는 것으로 나타났다. 미오글로빈은 근섬유의 산패에 대하여 현저한 촉진작용을 나타내었으나, 근섬유의 함량차이(white muscle 1%, red muscle 5%)에 의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 산패 억제기능의 아질산염과 산패 촉진기능의 식염이 적정량 함유된 건조 육제품이 진공포장된 경우 지질 산패량은 전 유통기간에 걸쳐 품질저하의 주요원인이 되지 않았다.

To confirm possibility of Nelumbo nucifera leaves as biofunctional material, we investigated the antioxidant activity and nitrite scavenging ability of ethanol extract from Nelumbo nucifera leaves. Nelumbo nucifera leaves were extracted with ethanol and concentrated under vacuum using rotary evaporator. Then, antioxidative activity and nitrite scavenging ability of the extract were examined in vitro. Electron -donating ability of the extract at RC50 was 90.19 ${\mu}g/mL$. After addition of 0.96 mg/mL, autooxidation of pyrogallol decreased to 66.19% by superoxide dismutase-like activity. In antioxidative activity of the extract against linoleic acid during incubation times of 24, 48, and 96 hours at $40^{\circ}C$, lipid peroxidation values significantly decreased to 72.53%, 82.00%, 84.69% with addition of 0.2 mg/mL, respectively. Total phenolic content was determined as gallic acid equivalents (GAE) and the value revealed to be $282.84\;{\pm}\;9.03$ GAE ${\mu}g/mg$ of the extract. Nitrite scavenging ability showed the most remarkable effect at pH 1.2, exhibited to 45.55% by addition of 0.2 mg/mL. These results suggest that ethanol extract from N. nucifera leaves can be used as bioactive and functional material.

To investigate the oxidative stability of the Lithospermum erythrorhizon extracted oil, we prepared extracted oil from the cultivated and wild roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon by autoclave method with soybean oil. The oil were stored for 30 days at $60^{\circ}C$, and the peroxide value (POV), acid value (AV) and carbonyl value(CV) were measured periodically. The weight was highly decreased in the oil added roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon during the storage period. POV of soybean oil containing wild and cultivated Lithospermum erythrorhizon was generally enhanced with prolonged storage time, with the POV of the samples being lower than 100 meq/kg.oil after 30 days of storage. However, the POV of soybean oil was higher than 100meq/kg.oil after 10 days of storage. The pattern of the changes of AV and CV of soybean oil containing wild and cultivated Lithospermum erythrorhizon, were almost constant during the experimental periods. Nevertheless, the pattern of the changes of AV of soybean oil was rapidly increased during 20 days of storage, and that of CV of soybean oil was rapidly increased duringdays of storage and then slowly increased during the remainder of the experimental period. However, soybein oil was rapidly increased during 20 days of storage and then slowly decreased during the reminder of the experimental period. The overall results suggest that wild and cultivated Lithosyermum erythrorhizon added antioxidant activities to the autooxidation of soybean oil.
