Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, previously named Lactobacillus plantarum, is a facultative, homofermentative lactic acid bacterium widely distributed in nature. Several Lpb. plantarum strains have been demonstrated to possess good probiotic properties, and Lpb. plantarum HOM3204 is a potential probiotic strain isolated from homemade pickled cabbage plants. In this study, whole-genome sequencing was performed to acquire genetic information and predict the function of HOM3204, which has a circular chromosome of 3,232,697 bp and two plasmids of 48,573 and 17,060 bp, respectively. Moreover, various oxidative stress-related genes were identified in the strain, and its antioxidant activity was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Compared to reference strains, the intracellular cell-free extracts of Lpb. plantarum HOM3204 at a dose of 10¹⁰ colony-forming units (CFU)/ml in vitro exhibited stronger antioxidant properties, such as total antioxidant activity, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging rate, superoxide dismutase activity, and glutathione (GSH) content. Daily administration of 10⁹ CFU Lpb. plantarum HOM3204 for 45 days significantly improved the antioxidant function by increasing the glutathione peroxidase activity in the whole blood and GSH concentration in the livers of D-galactose-induced aging mice. These results suggest that Lpb. plantarum HOM3204 can potentially be used as a food ingredient with good antioxidant properties.

We have previously observed that feeding with single-cell hemoprotein (heme-SCP) in dogs (1 g/day for 6 days) and broiler chickens (1 ppm for 32 days) increased the proportion of lactic acid bacteria in the gut while reducing their body weights by approximately 1~2%. To define the roles of heme-SCP in modulating body weight and gut microbiota, obese C57BL/6N mice were administered varied heme-SCP concentrations (0, 0.05, and 0.5% heme-SCP in high fat diet) for 28 days. The heme-SCP diet seemed to restrain weight gain till day 14, but the mice gained weight again later, showing no significant differences in weight. However, the heme-SCP-fed mice had stiffer and oilier bodies compared with those of the control mice, which had flabby bodies and dull coats. When mice were dissected at day 10, the obese mice fed with heme-SCP exhibited a reduction in subcutaneous fat with an increase in muscle mass. The effect of heme-SCP on the obesity-associated dyslipidemia tended to be corroborated by the blood parameters (triglyceride, total cholesterol, and C-reactive protein) at day 10, though the correlation was not clear at day 28. Notably, the heme-SCP diet altered gut microbiota, leading to the proliferation of known anti-obesity biomarkers such as Akkermansia, Alistipes, Oscillibacter, Ruminococcus, Roseburia, and Faecalibacterium. This study suggests the potential of heme-SCP as an anti-obesity supplement, which modulates serum biochemistry and gut microbiota in high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of addition of Lucerne juice (LJ) obtained by mechanical extraction of freshly harvested crop on the nutritive value of rice straw silage. Rice straw (RS) was ensiled with intact, NaOH or $NH_3$ treated LJ at 3:7 ratio on fresh weight basis (LJ RS, LJ NaOH RS and LJ $NH_3$ RS, respectively). Each alkali was mixed with fresh juice at a level of 4% of rice straw dry matter just before ensiling. Rice straw ensiled with water was prepared as the control (W RS). In the digestion trial, goats were allocated in a $4{\times}4$ Latin-square design and fed the diet containing three parts of RS silage and one part of wheat bran (DM basis). For the goats receiving the control silage, urea was supplemented at feeding time so as to adjust the nitrogen intake except for goats on LJ $NH_3$ RS silage. Crude protein content of RS silage was increased from 5.2 to 9.1% (DM basis) by the addition of intact LJ and to about 24% by $NH_3$ treated LJ. The control W RS silage contained only trace amount of lactic acid and was dominated by acetic and butyric acid. The addition of intact LJ reduced butyric acid content and $NH_3-N/TN$ of the silage whereas the addition of alkalized LJ increased those values and shifted to a butyrate type fermentation. Nutrient digestibilities and nitrogen balance of goats were almost the same when they were fed W RS and LJ RS silage indicating the addition of intact LJ did not improve the nutritive value. The addition of alkalized LJ significantly increased the fiber digestibilities of RS silage and $NH_3$ treatment was more effective than NaOH treatment. Postprandial ruminal $NH_3-N$ and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations were decreased by feeding LJ NaOH RS silage suggesting ruminal protein synthesis was enhanced along with the increase of energy supply for supply for rumen microbes by the alkali treatment. The advantageous fiber digestibilities of LJ $NH_3$ RS silage compared with those of LJ NaOH RS silage might be attributable to a sufficient nitrogen supply for microbial fiber digestion in the rumen.

연구배경 : 혈중 유산농도를 측정함으로써 결정되는 무산소역치(유산역치)는 관혈적이라는 제한점이 있어, 운동부하시 유산증가에 수반되는 환기적부하에 반응하는 여러환기지표에서 비관혈적으로 무산소역치 (환기성역치)를 측정하는 방법들이 제시되어 있고, 이들에는 환기 당량법, 종말호기 산소분압법, V-경사법, 호흡지수법 등이 알려져 있다. 무산소역치를 반영하는 환기성 역치의 타당도에 관하여 논란이 없는 것은 아니지만, 일관성있는 방법적 신뢰도가 유효하다면 운동능력 평가에 있어서 환기성역치의 유용성이 인정된다는 일반적인 의견이다. 그러나 이미 환기장애가 초래되어 있는 만성기도폐쇄를 보이는 환자에서는 운동증가에 따르는 유산증가에 대처하는 환기반응이 적절하지 못하므로 환기성역치가 무산소역치를 반영하지 못한다는 지적이 었다. 만성기포폐쇄를 보이는 환자에서 상기한 네가지 환기성역치 측정방법들의 역치검출율과 신뢰도를 확인하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 12명의 정상대조군과 17명의 만성기도폐쇄 환자군을 대상으로 증상제한적 최대운동부하검사(정상군 : 25 W/min, 만성기도폐쇄군 10 W/min)를 실시한 후 환기당량법, 종말호기산소분압법, V-경사법, 호흡지수법 등에 의해 환기성역치를 구한 후 상관계수를 구하여 유의성을 검증하였다. 결 과 : 각 환기성역치 측정방법에 의한 역치 검출율은 정상대조군에서 호흡지수법이 100%, 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법이 91.7%로 같은 빈도를 보였고, V-경사법은 83.3%의 빈도를 보여 점반적으로 비교적 높은 빈도의 검출율을 보인 반면, 만성기도폐쇄군에서 호흡지수법이 94.1%로 가장 높았으나 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법이 64.7%의 같은 검출빈도로 정상대조군에 비해 현저히 감소되었고, V-경사법은 83.3%로 정상대조군과 검출율에 있으서 같은 빈도를 보였다. 각 환기성역치 측정방법들의 유의성을 검증한 결과 정상대조군에서는 호흡지수법을 제외한 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법, 그리고 V-경사법 등간에 모두 유의한 상관관계를 보인 반면 만성기도폐쇄군애서는 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법사이에서만 상관계수가 0.9860으로 정상대조군에서처럼 매우 높은 일치도를 보였고 나머지 방법들간에는 그 어느 조합도 유의한 상관관계를 확인할 수 없었다. 결 론 : 호흡지수법은 매우 예민하지만 신뢰성이 떨어지는 방법이고, 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법은 거의 유사한 방법이며, 환기능이 정상인 사람에서는 환기성역치 측정이 무산소역치를 반영하는 유용성이 었다고 판단되지만 만성기도폐쇄 환자에서는 그 유용성이 떨어진다고 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to isolate probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that produce bile salt hydrolase (BSH), and to evaluate its effects on serum cholesterol level. One-hundred-twenty bacterial colonies were initially isolated from human feces, and five strains were selected after screening based on their resistance to acids, tolerance against bile salts, and inhibitory activity on Escherichia coli. The Lactobacillus plantarum strain with the highest level of BSH activity was identified using 16S rRNA sequences, and was named L. plantarum CK 102. L. plantarum CK 102 at a level of 1.36$\times$10$^8$cfu/ml survived in pH 2 buffer for 6 h and exhibited excellent tolerance for bile salt. Coculturing the strain with E. coli in MRS broth resulted in strong inhibition against growth of E. coli at 18 h. Furthermore, the potential effect of CK 102 on serum cholesterol level was evaluated in rats. Thirty-two rats [Sprague-Dawley (SD) male, 129$\pm$l g, 5 weeks old] were divided into four groups of eight each. For six weeks, Group 1 was fed a normal diet (negative control); Group 2 was fed a cholesterol-enriched diet (positive control); Group 3 was fed a cholesterol-enriched diet plus L. plantarum CK 102 at 1.0$\times$10$^7$cfu/ml; and Group 4 was fed a cholesterol-enriched diet plus L. plantarum CK 102 at 5.0$\times$10$^7$cfu/ml. Blood samples were collected, serum lipids were analyzed, and weights of the organs were measured. Total blood cholesterol level, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, and free-cholesterol values were lower in rats that were fed 1. plantarum CK 102 than in those not fed L. plantarum CK 102. This cholesterol lowering effect implies that L. plantarum CK 102 could be utilized as an additive for health-assistance foods. In conclusion, these results suggest that the 1. plantarum CK 102 isolated could be used commercially as a probiotic.

The objectives of this experiment was to evaluate the subsequent growth and organ weights, blood profiles and cecal microbiota of broiler chicks fed pre-starter diets containing fermented soybean meal products during early phase. A total of nine hundred 1-d-old chicks were randomly assigned into six groups with six replicates of 25 chicks each. The chicks were fed control pre-starter diet with dehulled soybean meal (SBM) or one of five experimental diets containing fermented SBM products (Bacillus fermented SBM [BF-SBM], yeast by product and Bacillus fermented SBM [YBF-SBM]; Lactobacillus fermented SBM 1 [LF-SBM 1]; Lactobacillus fermented SBM 2 [LF-SBM 2]) or soy protein concentrate (SPC) for 7 d after hatching, followed by 4 wk feeding of commercial diets without fermented SBMs or SPC. The fermented SBMs and SPC were substituted at the expense of dehulled SBM at 3% level on fresh weight basis. The body weight (BW) during the starter period was not affected by dietary treatments, but BW at 14 d onwards was significantly higher (p<0.05) in chicks that had been fed BF-SBM and YBF-SBM during the early phase compared with the control group. The feed intake during grower and finisher phases was not affected (p>0.05) by dietary treatments. During total rearing period, the daily weight gains in six groups were 52.0 (control), 57.7 (BF-SBM), 58.5 (YBF-SBM), 52.0 (LF-SBM 1), 56.7 (LF-SBM 2), and 53.3 g/d (SPC), respectively. The daily weight gain in chicks fed diet containing BF-SBM, YBF-SBM, and LF-SBM 2 were significantly higher values (p<0.001) than that of the control group. Chicks fed BF-SBM, YBF-SBM, and LF-SBM 2 had significantly lower (p<0.01) feed conversion ratio compared with the control group. There were no significant differences in the relative weight of various organs and blood profiles among groups. Cecal microbiota was altered by dietary treatments. At 35 d, chicks fed on the pre-starter diets containing BF-SBM and YBF-SBM had significantly increased (p<0.001) lactic acid bacteria, but lowered Coli-form bacteria in cecal contents compared with those fed the control diet. The number of Bacillus spp. was higher (p<0.001) in all groups except for LF-SBM 1 compared with control diet-fed chicks. At 7 d, jejunal villi were significantly lengthened (p<0.001) in chicks fed the fermented SBMs vs control diet. Collectively, the results indicate that feeding of fermented SBMs during early phase are beneficial to the subsequent growth performance in broiler chicks. BF-SBM and YBF-SBM showed superior overall growth performance as compared with unfermented SBM and SPC.

근육은 지속적인 수축운동 과정상에서 근육 세포내의 에너지원인 ATP가 고갈되고, 근육피로를 나타내는 물질이 축적되어 근력이 약해지고 피로도가 증가하게 된다. 지구력을 향상시키기 위하여 ATP의 합성 증가 및 근육내 피로 물질의 축적 방지 등이 요구되어지는데, 본 연구에서는 전통 생약재로부터 추출 증류한 조성물 JR-22를 이용하여 지구력 향상 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. JR-22를 4주간 실험 동물에게 투여한 이후 체중의 4-8%에 해당하는 무게를 부가하고 강제수영 시간을 통하여 지구력 향상효과를 확인한 결과 JR-22의 투여로 인하여 지구력이 향상되는 효과를 확인하였다 JR-22에 의한 지구력 향상효과의 기작을 관찰하기 위하여 체중의 4%에 해당하는 무게를 부가한 뒤 90분간 강제 수영시킨 실험 동물로부터 근육 피로 물질들과 근육내 ATP 함량을 측정한 결과 JR-22의 투여가 근육내 ATP 함량을 증가시키는 것으로 나타나 JR-22의 투여가 근육내 ATP를 증가시킴으로서 지구력을 향상시키는 효과를 나타내는 것으로 추측되었다. 또한 근육세포의 강화와 연관성이 있는 IGF-1과의 관련성을 알아보기 위하여 JR-22를 투여한 이후 혈액중의 IGF-1의 농도를 측정하였을 때도 JR-22에 의해서 유의성이 있는 IGF-1의 증가가 관찰되어 JR-22의 투여가 근력 강화에 도움을 줄 수 있다고 추측되었다. 이러한 운동 과정상에서 발생하는 체내의 산화적 손상은 JR-22의 투여를 통해 완화되고 있음을 확인하여 JR-22의 투여가 체내의 항산화력 증진에 도움을 줄 수 있는 것으로 추측되었다. 한편 JR-22를 4주 이상 투여하였을 경우에도 간독성 지표인 GOT, GPT를 비롯한 각종 혈액 생화학적 수치들의 변화가 나타나지 않았으며, 기타 이상 소견이 발견되지 않아 JR-22의 식용으로서의 안전성에도 문제가 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과에서 JR-22는 IGF-1의 증가 및 근육내 ATP 농도를 증가시킴으로서 지구력을 강화시키는 효과가 있을 뿐 아니라 운동시 발생하는 부작용중 하나인 산화적 손상을 억제시키는 항산화 효과 또한 겸비하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of protein supplementation of green tea waste (GTW) on the performance of lactating cows. Another aim was to increase resource utilization and to eliminate any environmental negative impact from the tea waste. GTW from a beverage company was ensiled at a low pH (<4.0) and high acetic acid and lactic acid concentration, and it contained high crude protein (CP, 34.8%), total extractable tannins (TET, 9.2%) and condensed tannin (CT, 1.7%). Two experiments were conducted to investigate the palatability and performance in lactating cows fed GTW. In the palatability trial, three lactating cows were allocated to three dietary treatments in a 3$\times$3 Latin square design. The animals were offered a total mixed ration (TMR) including GTW at rates of 0, 2.5 and 5.0% on a dry matter (DM) basis. Total DM intake was not different among the treatments. In the performance trial, four lactating cows were used in a 2$\times$2 Latin square design with a 3 week sampling period. GTW was incorporated into TMR at a rate of 5.0% on a DM and 10.0% on a CP basis. Thus GTW replaced alfalfa hay and soybean meal at a level of 25.0% on a DM. DM and CP intake were not affected by the inclusion of GTW, whereas TET and CT intake were significantly increased (p<0.001). Milk production, milk composition and the efficiency of milk production were not altered by the GTW inclusion. Although ruminal pH and VFA, and blood urea nitrogen were not changed, ruminal $NH_{3}-N$ and plasma total cholesterol were relatively low in the GTW group, but not significantly different. The excretion of urinary purine derivatives and estimated MN supply were also not significantly affected by GTW treatment. It is therefore concluded that GTW can be used as a protein source without any detrimental effects on the performance of lactating cows.
