Obesity contributes to an increased risk for chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer. The prevalence of obesity has increased in Korea. We compared the clinical and dietary characteristics of obese adults (n = 30, 17 men and 13 women, mean age 29.9) to those with a normal weight (n = 15, 8 men and 7 women, mean age 26.5). We determined lipid profiles, fasting blood sugar (FBS), blood pressure, and serum free fatty acid (FFA). Dietary intake was estimated using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a 3-day dietary record. Exercise patterns and average alcohol intake were determined. The average body mass index was 28.3 kg/$m^2$ in the obese and 21.2 kg/$m^2$ in the normal weight groups. The obese group had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, lower levels of HDL cholesterol, and higher blood pressures compared to the normal weight group. FBS was not significantly different between the two groups. The obese group had significantly more subjects with metabolic syndrome (26.7%) compared to the normal weight group (0%). Serum FFA levels tended to be higher in the obese (P = 0.087). No significant difference in caloric intake was observed between the two groups. No differences in carbohydrate, protein, or fat intake between two groups were observed from the FFQ. However, results from the 3-day dietary record showed that the percentage of energy from fat was significantly higher in the obese group. The frequency and amount of exercise did not differ between the two groups. Alcohol consumed per drinking episode was significantly higher in the obese group. These results confirm that excessive weight is associated with disturbances in lipid metabolism in these fairly young and otherwise healthy adults. Dietary factors, including higher fat intake and alcohol consumption, seem to be contributing to the obesity of these subjects.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary CP levels in gestation under equal lysine content on reproductive performance, blood metabolites and milk composition of gilts. A total of 25 gilts ($F_1$, Yorkshire${\times}$Landrace) were allotted to 4 dietary treatments at breeding in a completely randomized design, and fed 1 of 4 experimental diets containing different CP levels (11%, 13%, 15%, or 17%) at 2.0 kg/d throughout the gestation. Body weight of gilts at 24 h postpartum tended to increase linearly (p = 0.09) as dietary CP level increased. In lactation, backfat thickness, ADFI, litter size and weaning to estrus interval (WEI) did not differ among dietary treatments. There were linear increases in litter and piglet weight at 21 d of lactation (p<0.05) and weight gain of litter (p<0.01) and piglet (p<0.05) throughout the lactation as dietary CP level increased. Plasma urea nitrogen levels of gilts in gestation and at 24 h postpartum were linearly elevated as dietary CP level increased (p<0.05). Free fatty acid (FFA) levels in plasma of gestating gilts increased as dietary CP level increased up to 15%, and then decreased with quadratic effects (15 d, p<0.01; 90 d, p<0.05), and a quadratic trend (70 d, p = 0.06). There were no differences in plasma FFA, glucose levels and milk composition in lactation. These results indicate that increasing dietary CP level under equal lysine content in gestation increases BW of gilts and litter performance but does not affect litter size and milk composition. Feeding over 13% CP diet for gestating gilts could be recommended to improve litter growth.

Medium- and long-chain triglyceride (MCT/LCT) propofol is widely used as an intravenous anesthetic, especially in the intensive care unit. The present study aimed to assess whether MCT/LCT propofol is safe in the hyperlipidemic population for long-term use. Free fatty acids (FFAs) were used to establish high-fat stimulation of HepG2 and Huh7 cells. Subsequently, these cells were treated with propofol at the concentration of 0, 4, or 8 ㎍/ml for 24 and 48 h. The results indicated that the cell viability was notably decreased when the cells were stimulated with 2 mmol/L FFAs and treated with 12 ㎍/ml MCT/LCT propofol. Accordingly, we chose 2 mmol/L FFAs along with 4 and 8 ㎍/ml MCT/LCT propofol for the subsequent experiments. Four and 8 ㎍/ml MCT/LCT propofol inhibited FFA-induced lipid accumulation in the cells and significantly reversed acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) activity. In addition, MCT/LCT propofol not only significantly promoted the phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC, but also reversed the FFA-induced decreased phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC. In conclusion, MCT/LCT propofol reverses the negative effects caused by FFAs in HepG2 and Huh7 cells, indicating that MCT/LCT propofol might positively regulate lipid metabolism.

본 연구는 지구성 운동 시 복합 기능성보조제 투여가 운동 수행력과 에너지기질인 글루코스(Glucose), 유리지방산(FFA)동원과 중추 피로물질인 암모니아(Ammonia), 5-HT, 말초피로요소인 젖산(Lactate), 무기인산(Phosphorus), pH에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 비교분석함으로써, 복합 기능성보조제 투여가 운동수행에 미치는 효과를 규명하는데 그 목적이 있었으며 연구 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 지구성 운동수행시간은 투여 전과 비교하여 투여 후에 10.7% 증가하였으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 2. 혈중 피로물질 농도(Ammonia, Lactate, Phosphorus, pH, 5-HT) 의 변화는 실험의 모든 시기에서 투여 전, 후 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 3. 혈중 에너지기질 농도(Glucose, FFA) 의 농도 변화는 실험의 모든 시기에서 투여 전, 후 간에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로, 복합 기능성보조제 투여는 운동수행력을 10.7% 향상시켰으며, 향상된 운동수행력에도 불구하고 혈중피로물질의 추가적인 축적은 없었다. 따라서, 복합 기능성보조제 투여는 지구성 운동수행 시 피로물질 축적의 지연을 초래함으로써 운동수행력 증진에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 그러나, 단일 물질 투여에 의한 선행연구와 본 연구 결과를 비교할 때, 복합 투여가 단일투여보다 운동수행력 증진에 효과적이라고 판단하기는 어렵다. 따라서, 운동수행력 증진 측면에서 단일투여와 복합 투여 효과의 차이를 규명하기 위해서는 추후 다양한 피험자를 대상으로 복합투여물질의 구성 물질 및 비율, 다양한 운동의 형태에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

우유의 여러 가지 품질 평가방법 중에서 소비자의 입장에서 중요한 기준이 되는 관능검사를 통해서 ESL우유와 non-ESL우유의 품질을 비교하여 그 차이점을 확인하였다. ESL우유의 1개사 제품과 non0ESL우유 4개사 제품을 $5^{\circ}C$ 와 $10^{\circ}C$에서 시료의 pH 및 적정산도는 그 변화가 크지 않았으며, 유성분인 fat, protein, lactose의 변화 역시 크지 않았다. 반면에 관능적으로 평가된 신섬함은 보존 5일차에 가장 신선하게 나타났다. ESL우유와 non-ESL우유의 QDA(quantitative descriptive analysis) diagram에 따르면, 동일한 조건상에서 저장지간 중 non-ESL우유의 관능적 품질 저하가 ESL우유보다 컸으며, 그 정도는 $10^{\circ}C$에서 두드러졌다. 우유의 신선도 평가 기준인 FFA(free fatty acid)와 관능적으로 느끼는 신선도 상의 상관분석을 통해서, 우유의 신선도는 FFA보다 우유의 풍미 및 미생물적 부패와 상관관계가 크다는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 우유의 신선도 결정에는 관능적 풍미가 가장 중요한 기준이 되며, non-ESL우유보다 ESL우유가 보존기간 중 신선함이 오래 지속되는 것으로 확인되었다.

This study was designed to examine the effects of Salicornia herbacea L. (glasswort: GW) on the plasma blood glucose and lipid metabolites in diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-220g by an injection of streptozotocin (STZ) dissolved in a citrate buffer into the tail vein at a dose of 45 mg/kg of body weight. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed an AIN-93 recommended diet and the experimental groups were fed a modified diet containing 10% and 20% of glasswort powder for 4 weeks. The experimental groups were divided into 6 groups which consisted of normal (N)-control group, N-GW 10% and N-GW 20% treated groups, STZ-control, STZ-GW 10% and STZ-GW 20% treated groups. The rats' body weights, aminotransferase activities and hematocrit (Hct) values were measured, along with plasma levels of glucose, protein, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride (TG) and free fatty acids (FFA). The non-diabetic rats gained weight, while the diabetic rats lost weight. There were significant differences between the control group and the diabetic groups in the weight of the kidney, liver and pancreas. Asparate aminotransferase activity was lower in the non-diabetic control group compared to diabetic experimental groups, even though the difference was not significant. The plasma protein of N-GW 20% group was lower among all experimental groups but it was not significantly different. The blood glucose levels of the STZ-GW 10% group and STZ-GW 20% group were significantly lower than for the diabetic-control group. There were no significant difference of cholesterol levels among diabetic groups. The normal rats of 20% glasswort group in FFA and TG levels showed significant changes among all groups. These results exhibited dose related effect of glasswort and it may contain antihypoglycemic compounds.

This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant effects of pumpkin leaf extracted using a 50% ethanol on ground pork during storage. The pumpkin leaf extracts were added at concentrations of 0.05 (PE-0.05), 0.1 (PE-0.1), and 0.2% (PE-0.2) to ground pork, and 0.05% of ascorbic acid (As-0.05) was added as a control. Each sample was collected after 1, 4, 7, and 10 d of storage and the pH, total viable counts (TVC), conjugated dienes (CD), free fatty acids (FFA), and thiobarbituric reaction substance (TBARS) values were measured. The pH of the pork samples decreased until day 7, and then increased thereafter, except for the control and PE-0.05 sample. Lower CIE $a^*$ values were observed for pork samples containing PE relative to As-0.05 at increasing storage time (p<0.05). The addition of PE decreased the TVC, CD, FFA and TBARS values levels in the ground pork when compared to the control during 10 d of storage. These results indicate that PE can produce notable effects on meat products, such as inhibiting lipid oxidation and discoloration.

Anchovy Engraulis japonica boiled and dried was stored at $20^{\circ}C$ for 5 months after that treatment of sodium-erythorbate (Na-ery) or deoxygenizer (Deoxy). During storage, peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, lipid content, and lipid class compositions were determined to evaluate the quality of the samples. pay was decreased rapidly for the first 3 months storage and its decrease was Deoxy group>Control group>Na-ery group in that order. TBA values increased for the first 4 months and then decreased rapidly, and it's increase was the highest in Control group, followed by Na-ery and Deoxy group. Total lipid contents in all samples declined during storage. Especially, phospholipid decreased mainly in Na- ery and Deoxy group, while neutral lipid mainly in Control group. Triglyceride (TG), phosphatidylethanolamine(PE), and phosphatidylcholine(PC) decreased, while free fatty acid (FFA) and lyso-PC (LPC) increased during storage. The decrease of TG was the highest in Control group and that of PE and PC was higher in Na-ery group than in other sample. The decrease of PE in all samples (except Deoxy group) was higher than that of pc. The increase of FFA and LPC were higher in Control and Na-ery group than in Deoxy group. These results indicated that the lipid deterioration of the boiled and dried-anchovy was effectively suppressed by the enclosed deoxygenizer during storage at $20^{\circ}C$.
