당뇨병 상태에서 항산화영양소인 carotenoids의 공급이 체내 항산화비타민의 함량에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 조사하고자 Sprague-Dawley종 흰쥐를 이용하여 당뇨를 유도하고 비타민 A와 E의 함량 변화를 측정하였다. 당뇨를 유도하기 전에는 체중증가량에 있어서 별다른 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 당뇨가 유도된 후에는 체중증가량이 감소되었으나 $\beta$-carotene의 섭취에 의한 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 식이섭취량은 당뇨쥐에서 대조군에 비해 별다른 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 식이효율은 대조군에 비해 당뇨군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 당뇨 유도로 흰쥐의 혈당치는 대조군에 비하여 2배 이상 증가하였으나 당뇨군 사이에서 $\beta$-carotene의 급여에 의한 혈당강하 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. 혈장의 retinol 함량은 당뇨군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으나 $\beta$-carotene의 급여에 의한 영향은 관찰되지 않았다. 당뇨군에서 retinol함량이 유의적으로 감소되었고 혈장의 $\alpha$-to-copherol의 함량은 혈장 지질 함량을 이용하여 보정하였을 때 당뇨군에서 현저한 감소를 보였으나 $\beta$-carotene의 급여에 의한 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 간조직 중의 retinol과 retinyl palmitate 함량은 당뇨 유발군에서 유의적인 감소를 보였으며, $\beta$-carotene 급여에 의해 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나 $\alpha$-tocopherol 함량은 당뇨 유도와 $\beta$-carotene급여에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 통해 볼 때 당뇨병 환자의 혈관계 합병증을 예방하기 위해 한국인의 식생활에서 $\beta$-carotene 섭취를 효과적으로 할 수 있는 실제적인 식사관리 방안을 강구한다면 당뇨병환자의 혈관계 합병증을 완화시킬 수 있으리라고 여겨진다.

본 연구에서는 단체급식에서 많이 이용되는 시금치의 조리방법에 따른 카로티노이드 분리 및 정량을 위해서 HPLC를 이용하여 분석하였다. 시금치의 methanol 추출물로 THF 용매 분획물에 대하여 카로티노이드 및 그 이성체 화합물을 표준품으로 해서 분리된 카로티노이드의 RT와 함량은 lutein(63%), zeaxanthin(2.1%), crytoranthin, 13-cis-$\beta$-carotene(1.8%), a-carotene, trans-$\beta$-carotene(29.6%), 9-cis-$\beta$-carotene(3.1%)의 순으로 분리되었으며, 여기서 분리된 crytoxanthin은 미량 검출되어 본 실험에서는 정량하지 않았다. Lutein은 다른 카로티노이드에 비하여 조리방법 및 가열에 의한 영향을 비교적 덜 받는 것으로 나타났고, zeaxanthin은 조리 후 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 한편, trans-cis-$\beta$-carotene의 이 성 체 인 9-cis-$\beta$-carotene과 1,3-cis-$\beta$-carotene은 조리방법과 상관없이 가열 후 증가하는 경향을 보였는데 이는 가열과정이 trans-$\beta$-carotene의 이성화를 형성시키는 것으로 설명된다. Steam 조리 및 냉동 후 microwave조리에서 trans-$\beta$-carotene은 증가하는 경향을 보였다(p<0.05). 시금치의 총 non-provitamin A의 경우, 각 처리구간에 별 차이가 없었으나, 총 provitamin A에서는 원재료와 냉동 후 조리에서 유의적 차이를 볼 수 있었다(p<0.05). 또한 provitamin A로서의 기능이 가장 큰 trans-$\beta$-carotene은 steam으로 가열한 경우 가장 높았으며 또한 카로티노이드의 총 함량도 다른 시료보다 높은 함량을 보여주었다. 그 다음은 냉동 후 microwave로 가열한 시료로 두 시료와 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로부터 steam 가열시료, 냉동 후 가열시료, 원재료를 microwave로 가열한 시료 그리고 원재료 시금치의 순으로 카로티노이드의 총 함량이 높게 나타났다.

${\beta}-carotene$을 동결건조 당근분말로부터 초임계이산화탄소와 보조용매로서 에탄올, 메탄올을 사용하여 $40{\sim}60^{\circ}C$와 $138{\sim}276\;bar$에서 추출하였다. 초임계이산화탄소에 대한 ${\alpha},{\beta}-carotene$의 용해도는 동일온도에서 압력이 높을수록, 동일압력에서 온도가 낮을수록 증가하였다. 최고용해도는 $40^{\circ}C/276\;bar$에서 ${\alpha}-carotene$은 $0.604\;{\mu}g/g,\;{\beta}-carotene$은 $4.9\;{\mu}g/g$이었다. 보조용매로서 $CO_2$에 17.4%의 에탄올을 첨가함으로써 ${\beta}-carotene$의 용해도를 82% 이상 증가시킬 수 있었다. 위 결과는 초임계이산화탄소를 이용하여 천연물로부터 식품이나 의약산업에 중요한 특정한 카로테노이드를 추출할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 이와 같이 얻은 천연색소는 추출물에 잔존하는 유기용매가 없기 때문에 직접 식품가공에 이용할 수 있다.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of dietary $\beta$-carotene supplementation on lipid peroxide levels and antioxidant enzyme activities in alcoholic fatty liver rats. Forty five Sprague-Dawley male rats aging 8 weeks were used as experimental animals, which were divided into the control diet (CD) and the ethanol diet (ED) and the ethanol + $0.02\%$ $\beta$-carotene diet (EPD) groups and fed the experimental diet respectively for 5 weeks. After the feeding, rats were sacrificed to get blood and liver to analyze lipid and lipid peroxide levels and antioxidant enzyme activities. The mean body weight and food intake of the ethanol diet group was significantly lower than that of the control diet. The liver index (LI) of the ethanol diet group was significantly higher than those of the control diet and the $\beta$-carotene supplementation group. Serum levels of total lipid, triglyceride of the ethanol diet group were significantly higher than those of the control diet and the $\beta$-carotene supplementation group. Total cholesterol levels were not significantly different among all groups. HDL-cholesterol of the ethanol diet group was significantly lower than those of the control diet and the $\beta$-carotene supplementation group. Liver TBARS of the ethanol diet group was significantly higher than those of the control diet and the $\beta$-carotene supplementation group. Liver lipofuscin and conjugated diene levels were not significantly different among all groups. The superoxide dismutase activity of the ethanol diet group was significantly lower than those of the control diet and the $\beta$-carotene supplementation group. Catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities were not significantly different among all groups. Because v-carotene supplementation significantly decrease the serum total lipid, triglyceride, liver TBARS revels and increase the superoxide dismutase activity in alcoholic ratty liver rats, $\beta$-carotene supplementation seems to give beneficial effect for the alcoholics.

${\beta}-carotene$ is present in carrots, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes. It suppresses many types of cancers by regulating cellular proliferation and apoptosis through a variety of mechanisms. However, the effects of ${\beta}-carotene$ on oral cancer cells have not been clearly established. The main goal of this study was to investigate the effects of ${\beta}-carotene$ on cell growth and apoptosis in oral cancer cells. Our results demonstrate that treatment with ${\beta}-carotene$ induced inhibition of cell growth, and that the effect was dependent on ${\beta}-carotene$ treatment time and concentration in KB cells. Furthermore, treatment with ${\beta}-carotene$ induced nuclear condensation and fragmentation in KB cells. ${\beta}-carotene$ promoted proteolytic cleavage of procaspase-3, -7, -8 and -9 with associated increases in the concentration of cleaved caspase-3, -7, -8 and -9. In addition, the level of cleaved PARP was increased by ${\beta}-carotene$ treatment in KB cells. These results suggest that ${\beta}-carotene$ can suppress cell growth and induce apoptosis in KB human oral cancer cells, and that it may have potential usefulness in anti-cancer drug discovery efforts.

In this study, the contents of ${\beta}$-carotene and cholesterol were evaluated in various types of agricultural and processed foods (vegetables, legume products, dairy products, and eggs). Certified reference material (CRM) with an assigned value was used for the validation of the ${\beta}$-carotene and cholesterol analytical methods. High recoveries (accuracy) of ${\beta}$-carotene (96%) and cholesterol (97%) were obtained from the quantitative analysis of the CRM, with a relative standard deviation (%) of 1.86 and 3.35% for the ${\beta}$-carotene and cholesterol, respectively. Vegetables contained relatively high concentrations of ${\beta}$-carotene (raw Toona sinensis, $1650.97{\mu}g/100g$, a raw small onion, $879.09{\mu}g/100g$, and a raw lettuce stem, $591.89{\mu}g/100g$). The ${\beta}$-carotene values in dried chickpeas ($22.94{\mu}g/100g$) and dried brown lentils ($21.98{\mu}g/100g$) were similar. The highest ${\beta}$-carotene value among the analyzed dairy products was found in banana milk ($234.21{\mu}g/100g$) while other flavored products (strawberry milk and chocolate milk) did not contain any ${\beta}$-carotene. Furthermore, ${\beta}$-carotene was not detected in goat milk and high calcium milk in this study. With regard to cholesterol among the analyzed samples, the highest cholesterol value was found in egg yolk (629.30 mg/100 g), and cooking methods (boiling and frying) had little effect on the cholesterol levels of eggs. In addition, the cholesterol content in vanilla ice cream was 28.77 mg/100 g which was the highest value among the analyzed dairy products.

To determine the effects of ${\beta}$-carotene on the control of mastitis in dairy cows during the dry period, 38 dairy cows (18 mastitic cows and 20 healthy cows) were administered with 5 ml of ${\beta}$-carotene (30 mg/ml) intramuscularly twice (4 week intervals). Blood samples were taken from the cows before the injection and two weeks after the second injection, respectively, and were measured for the proportion of lymphocyte subpopulations and lymphocyte proliferation responses. With ${\beta}$-carotene injection, the proportion of cells expressing BoCD2, BoCD4 and B and N cells increased in healthy cows. In the presence of mitogens, lymphocytes from healthy cows showed significantly higher proliferation responses after ${\beta}$-carotene injection than before (p < 0.05), The somatic cell counts in ${\beta}$-carotene injected group decreased from 1,001,00 cells/ml at dry off to 647,000 cell/ml and 447 cells/ml at the stage of first and second weeks after calving, respectively (p < 0,05), This study indicated that ${\beta}$-carotene as a nonspecific immunostimulator could have a definite role for the prevention of intramammary infections in dairy cows at dry period.

The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of $\beta$-carotene on vitamin A metabolism in ethanol-fed rats. Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 190~210g were fed a liquid diet containing 36% of total calories as ethanol for 6 weeks. The pair-fed control rats(1BP group, 2BP group) were given an isocaloric amount of diet containing sucrose instead of ethanol on the following day. Additionally, the liquid diet, contained different levels of $\beta$-carotene(1BE group: 2.1, 2BE group: 21mg/L liquid diet). Body weight gains and food efficiency ratios of ethanol groups were lower than those of pair-fed groups. This effect did not change with dietary supplementation of $\beta$-carotene. The levels of plasma and hepatic retionl were decreased after chronic ethanol feeding, but the values in 2BE group were higher than in 1BE group. The content of hepatic retinoic acid tended to increase in proportion to $\beta$-carotene supplementation. There results suggest that ethanol consumption may affect the vatamin A methabolism and reduce the conversion of $\beta$-carotene to retinol in rats.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of dietary $\beta$-carotene supplementation on lipid metabolism and antioxidant enzyme activities in hyperlipidemic rats. Fifty Sprague-Dawley male rats aging 7 weeks were fed the control diet (CD,5% corn oil) and the high fat diet (HFD,15% beef tallow +1% cholesterol) for 4 weeks and then 0.02% $\beta$-carotene was supplemented to CD and HFD group for 8 more weeks. Serum lipid compositions, lipid peroxides and antioxidative enzymes in liver were analyzed at 4, 8 and 12week of the experiment. Serum levels of total lipid, total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol were higher in HFD groups than in CD groups (p < 0.001), Serum levels of HDL-cholesterol were higher in CD groups than in HFD groups (p < 0.01) . The effect of $\beta$-carotene supplementation was not significant in all groups but tended to be lower in total lipid, total cholesterol and Triglyceride. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels in plasma and liver were showed significantly higher in HFD groups (p < 0.001, p < 0.05). The effects of $\beta$-carotene supplementation on the level of plasma and liver TBARS were not found except HFD groups at 12 week. Liver conjugated diene levels in HFD groups were higher than in CD groups (p < 0.01), but the effect of $\beta$-carotene supplementation did not show any differences. Liver lipofuscin levels were not significantly different among all groups. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase were significantly lower in HFD groups at 8 week (p < 0.001) but were not significantly different at 4 and 12week. The activity of SOD in $\beta$-carotene supplemented HFD group was significantly higher at 8 week (p < 0.01). Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity was significantly lower in HFD groups (p < 0.01) and was significantly increased in groups supplemented $\beta$-carotene (p < 0.05). It is suggested that $\beta$-carotene supplementation partly decreases the serum lipid and lipid peroxide levels and increases the activities of antioxidant enzymes in hyperlipidemic rats.
