This study was undertaken to investigate the acute effect of caffeine consumption on the change of mineral concentration in serum and urinary mineral excretion in healthy young females. On two separate mornings at one week intervals, each subject drank a coffee which contained no caffeine and 3mg/kg body weight caffeine. To obviate dietary effects on mineral concentration in serum and urine, each subject fasted at least ten hours before consuming the test beverage. At one, two, three and four hours, serum and urine production collected seperately for measurement of sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium concentration. The results were as following : 1) Mean age of subjects was 20.6$\pm$0.32, Mean body mass index of subjects was 21.64$\pm$0.89, which was within $\pm$10% of ideal body weight. 2) Total urine volume of caffein groups for 4 hour after caffeine consumption was higher than that of decaffeine one, but urine pH was unchanged after caffeine consumption. Total urinary four hour excretion of creatinine was not affected by caffeine consumption and creatinine clearance also was not different from the control value. 3) In serum, mean three hour content of sodium(p<0.01) and phosphorus was higher in the subject given the caffeine. Mean serum magnesium and calcium contents were lower in caffeine group than that of decaffeine one. Mean serum magnesium content for three hour after caffeine ingestion was affected by caffeine consumption(p<0.001). Mean serum content of potassium was unaffected by caffeine consumption. 4) Total urinary four hour excretion of sodium, increased significantly after caffeine consumption(p<0.05), while total urinary four hour excretion of potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium was unchanged after caffeine intake. Urinary excretion of Na, Ca, P and Mg was greatest at one hour after caffeine consumption, especially urinary sodium and potassium excretion was significantly high(p<0.05, p<0.01). The above results show that only 3mg caffeine per kg body weight increase the urinary macro mineral excretion in healthy young females.

This study was to investigate the effect of fermentation extracts on the concentration of serotonin and melatonin in the serum of the ICR mice. The ICR mice were divided into water control group, lactobacillus fermentation solution including (Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium longum B6) control group, positive control group (milk and doxylamine succinate), negative control group (caffein) and the groups treated with the extracts of Berberis koreana bark (WE: water extracts, FE-L.P: fermentation extracts of Lactobacillus paracasei, FE-B.L: fermentation extracts of Bifidobacterium longum B6). After ten-day feeding treatment, the mean concentration of serotonin for water control, WE, FE-L.P and FEB. L group was 134.72, 183.01, 232.09 and $223.78 ng/m{\ell}$, respectively. The mean concentration for FE-L.P and FE-B.L group were approximately 66% larger than that for water control group. The mean concentration of melatonin for water control, WE, FE-L.P and FE-B.L group was 76.92, 106.66, 157.56 and $141.81pg/m{\ell}$, respectively. The mean concentration of melatonin for FE-L.P and FE-B.L group were also larger than that for water control group. Our results indicated that the fermentation extracts of Berberis koreana bark have relatively greater potential to induce secretion of serotonin and melatonin. Therefore, the fermentation extracts have antidepressant effect.

Adenylate cyclase 효소를 활성화시키는 약물인 Forskolin의 흰쥐 적출관류 부신으로부터 Ach, excess $K^+$, McN-A-343 및 caffein에 의한 catecholamines (CA) 분비작용에 대한 영향을 검색하고, 그 기전을 규명코자 연구를 시행하여 다음과 같은 연구결과를 얻었다. Forskolin (1.0 uM)은 흰쥐 부신적출정맥내로 1분동안 관류시킨 후 Ach(50 ug), excess $K^+$(56 mM), DMPP (100 uM) 및 caffeine (0.3 mM)에 의한 CA 분비작용을 현저히 증강시켰으나 McN-A-343에 의한 CA분비작용에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. Forskolin 자체는 CA분비작용을 일으키지 못하였다. 또한 세포의 calcium을 제거한 상태에서도 위 약물에 의한 CA분비작용에 대하여 유의한 증강작용을 나타내었다. 그러나 McN-A-343의 CA작용에는 영향이 없었으나 위의 약물의 CA분비작용을 유의하게 강화시켰다. Cyclic AMP를 증가시키는 약물로 알려져 있는 dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DBcAMP)는 300 uM농도를 1분간 관류시 Ach, excess $K^+$ 및 DMPP의 CA 분비작용을 뚜렷하게 증강시켰으나 McN-A-343 및 caffeine의 CA분비에는 별다른 영향이 없었다. DBcAMP 자체도 CA분비작용에는 영향을 미치지 못하였으나 또한 DBcAMP는 세포의 칼슘제거시에도 위의 약물에 의한 CA분비작용을 의의있게 증강시켰다. 그렇지만, McN-A-343의 CA분비작용은 증강시키지 못하였다. 이상의 연구결과로 보아 Forskolin는 adenylate cyclase를 활성화 시킴으로써 cyclic AMP 농도를 증가시켜 세포내로 칼슘유입을 증강시키며, 또한 세포내의 칼슘이동에도 관여함으로써 cholinergic nicotinic stimulation 및 depolarization에 의한 CA분비작용을 상승시키는 것으로 사료되어진다.

본 연구는 TOC/TN-IRMS를 이용하여 총 유기탄소 및 총 질소 안정동위원소 분석법을 연구하였으며, 수환경 중저농도 시료에서도 분석이 가능하게 시스템을 구축하였다. 수생태계로 유입되는 다양한 유기탄소 기원을 파악하기 위하여 형광지표와 δ¹³C-DOC 안정동위원소비를 활용한다면 효율적인 수질 관리를 위한 해석기능을 제공할 것이며, 추후 유역 오염원의 대표값(end member)의 지속적인 조사를 통하여 자료구축이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
