The purpose of this study was to compare the anthropometry, the serum lipid levels and the nutrient intakes of two groups according to their alcohol intake, smoking habits, regular exercise patterns, menopause status and obesity levels. The subjects consisted of 180 clinically normal adults (males 89, females 91) in the Youngdong area. There were significant differences in the triglyceride (TG) concentrations between the alcohol consumers (169.3 \pm 130.0 mg/dl) and the non-alcohol consumers (111.4 \pm 64.5 mg/dl), and the smokers (165.0 \pm 103.6 mg/dl) and the non-smokers (110.8 \pm 39.0 mg/dl). Although regular exercise did not affect the serum lipid levels, the dietary intakes of cholesterol, niacin and phosphate were significantly higher (p<0.05) in the male exercising group than in the male non-exercising group, and female exercising group consumed more polyunsaturated fatty acids (p<0.05) than the female non-exercising group. The waist/hip ratio. serum total cholesterol (198.4 \pm 36.3 mg/dl) and serum LDL-cholesterol (119.5 \pm 34.9 mg/dl) levels of the postmenopausal females were significantly higher than those of the premenopausal females (p<0.01). The obese males showed higher serum cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, LDL/HDL, and relative cholesterol levels than those of the normal-weight males : and the obese females showed higher serum TG levels than that of the normal-weight females (p<0.01). These results suggested that drinking, smoking, menopause and obesity are risk factors for hyperlipidemia. Thus, moderation in alcohol consumption, non-smoking, regular exercise and the maintenance of normal weight are necessary to Prevent hyperlipidemia in middle-aged People.

We have previously reported that Acer tegmentosum extract, which is traditionally used in Korea to reduce alcohol-related liver injury, suppresses liver inflammation caused by excessive alcohol consumption and might improve metabolism. The active ingredient, 6-O-galloylsalidroside (GAL), was isolated from A. tegmentosum, and we hypothesized that GAL could provide desirable pharmacological benefits by ameliorating physiological conditions caused by alcohol abuse. Therefore, this study focused on whether GAL could ameliorate alcoholic fat accumulation and repair liver injury in mice. During chronic alcohol consumption plus binge feeding in mice, GAL was administered orally once per day for 11 days. Intrahepatic lipid accumulation was measured in vivo using a noninvasive method, ¹H magnetic resonance imaging, and confirmed by staining with hematoxylin and eosin and Oil Red O. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured using a Konelab system, and the triglyceride content was measured in liver homogenates using an enzymatic peroxide assay. The results suggested that GAL alleviated alcohol-induced steatosis,e as indicated by decreased hepatic and serum triglyceride levels in ethanol-fed mice. GAL treatment also correlated with a decrease in the Cd36 mRNA expression, thus potentially inhibiting the development of alcoholic steatosis via the hepatic de novo lipogenesis pathway. Furthermore, treatment with GAL inhibited the expression of cytochrome P450 2E1 and attenuated hepatocellular damage, as reflected by a reduction in ALT and AST levels. These findings suggest that GAL extracted from A. tegmentosum has the potential to serve as a bioactive agent for the treatment of alcoholic fatty liver and liver damage.

Objective : This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Effects of Akebia quinata (AQ) extract on alcohol-induced damage of liver, spleen and thymus in rats. Method : Experimental animals were divided in to 4 groups; Normal group, Alcohol group, AQ50 group and AQ200 group. All rats, except for Normal group, were fed 25 % ethanol for 55 days. During experimental period, Normal group and Alcohol group were administrated saline, and AQ50 group and AQ200 group were administrated AQ extract at dose of 50 and 200 mg/kg/day, respectively. We measured organ weight, liver triglyceride contents, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and triglycerid levels in serum. Also, we conducted histomorphometry and histopathological observation of liver, spleen and thymus. Results : AQ significantly decreased the level of AST, ALT and triglyceride in serum and the liver triglyceride contents induced by ethanol. Also, AQ significantly inhibited lipid droplets accumulation in hepatocytes. The decreased relative organ weight of spleen and thymus by ethanol were increased by AQ administration. In histopathological analysis of spleen, the rats administrated AQ 200 mg/kg presented significantly increased mean diameters of white pulps, numbers of white pulps and splenic thicknesses. The administration of 200 mg/kg AQ improved decreased lobular thickness and cortex thickness of thymus, which were decreased by ethanol. Conclusions : The results of present study indicated that AQ has an ameliorating effect for fatty degeneration of liver and damage of spleen and thymus.

본 실험은 알코올 발효사료 처리에 따른 in vitro 발효 pattern의 변화를 검토하기 위하여 반추위내 ammonia, pH, alcohol 및 volatile fatty acids 농도와 NDF 분해율에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 비지박 알코올 발효사료(AFS)는 비지박(DM 20%)과 시판중인 배합사료(DM 87%)를 각각 50:50의 비율로 혼합하고 당밀 5%, yeast 0.5%를 첨가한 후 $30^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 혐기적으로 배양하여 제조하였으며, 맥주박 알코올 발효사료(AFB)는 맥주박(DM 25%), 비지박(DM 20%), 옥분 및 시판중인 배합사료를 각각 25:25:25:25의 비율로 혼합하고 당밀 5%, yeast 0.5%를 첨가한 후 제조하였다. 시험구 처리는 배합사료를 급여하는 대조구(control), 비지박 및 맥주박 알코올 발효사료(AFS구 및 AFB구)를 첨가하는 처리구를 각각 AFS 및 AFB구로 나누어 실시하였다. 조사항목은 배양 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 및 12시간별로 배양액을 채취하여 배양액의 alcohol 농도, ammonia 농도, pH, VFA 농도 및 NDF 분해율의 변화를 조사하였다. 배양액의 ammonia 농도는 배양 2시간에 대조구 11.84 mg/dl 보다 AFS구 및 AFB구에서 각각 12.47 및 12.85 mg/dl로서 높은 결과를 보였다(p<0.05). 배양 6시간까지의 pH는 대조구보다 AFS 및 AFB구가 현저히 높게 나타났으며, 배양시간이 경과하면서 AFS 및 AFB구들이 대조구에 비해 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 배양액의 알코올 농도는 AFS 및 AFB구에서 배양 12시간에 대조구보다 각각 43.9 및 48.0%씩 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). Acetate 농도는 배양시간이 경과함에 따라 대조구는 빠른 속도로 감소하였으며 AFS 및 AFB구들은 다소 감소하는 결과로 나타났다. Propionate 및 Butyrate 농도는 배양 전기간동안 대조구보다 AFS 및 AFB구에서 현저하게 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 배양 4시간까지 NDF의 분해율은 대조구에 비해 AFS 및 AFB구가 높았으나, 배양 4시간 이후부터 대조구에 비해 AFS 및 AFB구가 낮은 결과로 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로부터 알코올 발효사료는 반추위 내에서 반추미생물의 발효 pattern을 조절하여 주는 작용이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

전통주를 대표하는 주종인 막걸리는 최근 지속적인 출고량의 감소세를 보여 막걸리의 고급화 또는 프리미엄화가 필요한 시점이다. 고급화를 위해서는 술의 향기가 중요한데 대부분 막걸리의 경우에 소비자들이 관능적으로 인식할 수 있는 정도의 향기가 나타나지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Saccharomyces cerevisiae 98-5KCCM11396P 효모와 isoamyl acetate의 합성을 저해하는 unsaturated fatty acid가 존재하는 일반적인 도정율의 쌀을 사용하여 발효온도와 당농도를 달리하여 대표적인 바나나 향기인 isoamyl acetate 생성량의 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 발효온도 20℃에서 관능적으로 바나나향기를 가장 잘 느낄 수 있었으며 GC-MS 분석결과에는 발효온도 10℃와 당농도가 높을수록 isoamyl acetate가 다량 정량 되었다. 이에 막걸리 담금 과정에서 발효 초반 isoamyl acetate의 기질인 isoamyl alcohol 생성량을 증가시키고 alcohol acetyltransferase의 열에 의한 안정성 및 불포화지방산에 의한 저해를 최소화해야 한다. 또한 저온발효로 인한 생산 원가 부담을 감안하여, 발효 초반 당성분을 보충해주고 발효 온도를 20℃~25℃로 높게 유지해야한다. 이후 관능적으로 바나나 향기를 인식할 수 있도록 isoamyl acetate 이외의 향기성분을 생성시키면서 연속적으로 추가 담금을 해가며 단계적으로 온도를 10℃~15℃까지 낮추는 방법을 통해 효과적으로 막걸리에서 바나나 향기를 생성시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Alcohol consumption increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, its effects on prediabetes or early diabetes have not been studied. We investigated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the pancreas and liver resulting from chronic alcohol consumption in the prediabetes and early stages of diabetes. We separated Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, a type-2 diabetic animal model, into two groups based on diabetic stage: prediabetes and early diabetes were defined as occurrence between the ages of 11 to 16 weeks and 17 to 22 weeks, respectively. The experimental group received an ethanol-containing liquid diet for 6 weeks. An intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was conducted after 16 and 22 weeks for the prediabetic and early diabetes groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in body weight between the control and ethanol groups. Fasting and 120-min glucose levels were lower and higher, respectively, in the ethanol group than in the control group. In prediabetes rats, alcohol induced significant expression of ER stress markers in the pancreas; however, alcohol did not affect the liver. In early diabetes rats, alcohol significantly increased most ER stress-marker levels in both the pancreas and liver. These results indicate that chronic alcohol consumption increased the risk of diabetes in prediabetic and early diabetic OLETF rats; the pancreas was more susceptible to damage than was the liver in the early diabetic stages, and the adaptive and proapoptotic pathway of ER stress may play key roles in the development and progression of diabetes affected by chronic alcohol ingestion.

Using a flue-cured tobacco variety, BU 109, effect of growth regulators(Fatty Alcohol and C-MH) on the change of invertase activity and sugar metabolites were investigated. Invertase activity in untreated leaf tissue was decreased along with maturation of leaf, However, a momentary increase of the activity was observed in leaves by the dual treatment of fatty alcohol and C-MH regardless of leaf position while sole C-MH treatment resulted in activity increase by 14 days after the treatment. Similar tendency was observed in stalk. Sugar content in leaf was increased immediately after the treatment but no significant increase at large resulted until 14 days after treatment. After harvest, reducing sugar was increased by the growth regulators. Nevertheless, in case of dual treatment, the total sugar content was not different with that of untreated control. R/T ratio was gradually increased after topping stage and reached maximum at 14 days after treatment of growth regulators. It decreased a little after harvest but the RR ratio was relatively higher due to increase of reducing sugar resulted by the treatment of the chemicals. Upon treatment of growth regulators, reducing sugar content was increased in lugs and leaves compared to untreated control and the content of sugar metabolites was increased by the use of the chemicals either at lower or higher than recommended dose. Key words : MH, FA, invertase activity, total sugar, reducing sugar
