본 연구는 scopoletin 식이 보충이 알코올로 인해 유발되는 인슐린저항성과 항산화방어계에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 하였다. 실험동물은 4주령의 수컷 SD계 흰쥐에게 총 열량의 36%에 해당하는 알코올을 액체식이 형태로 8주간 공급하였으며, scopoletin은 알코올 액체식이 리터당 0.01 g과 0.05 g 두 수준으로 첨가하였다. 정상군은 알코올대조군과 동량의 에너지를 섭취하도록 하였다. 8주간의 알코올 급여는 공복 시 혈당 변화를 일으키지 않았으나 혈청 인슐린 함량을 증가시켰으며, 이는 인슐린저항성과 내당능 장애를 유발하였다. 그러나 scopoletin 저농도와 고농도 급여군 모두 인슐린 함량, 인슐린저항성 지표 및 내당능을 효과적으로 개선하는 것으로 나타났다. 알코올대조군은 p-PI3K의 단백질 발현을 유의적으로 낮추어 glucokinase 유전자 발현과 활성을 억제한 반면, 당신생 효소인 glucose-6-phosphatase의 유전자 발현과 활성을 유의적으로 높였다. 그러나 scopoletin 급여에 의하여 이들 변화는 완화되었다. 다른 당신생 효소인 phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase의 유전자 발현과 활성에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 scopoletin 급여군 모두 간조직의 aldehyde dehydrogenase의 활성은 알코올 대조군에 비해 증가된 반면, cytochrome P450 2E1 활성은 억제되었다. 또한 알코올로 인하여 낮아진 간조직 중의 항산화 효소(superoxide dismutase, catalase와 glutathione peroxidase)의 유전자 발현과 활성을 높임으로써 과산화수소 및 지질과산화물의 함량을 낮추었다. 이와 같이 0.001%의 scopoletin 급여량에서도 당대사의 유전자 변화를 통하여 만성 알코올로 유도되는 인슐린저항성을 개선하였으며, 알코올대사계 활성 및 항산화방어계 효소의 유전자 발현을 증가함으로써 알코올로 인한 과산화수소와 지질과산화물 생성을 개선하는 것으로 나타났다.

Liver plays a major role in maintaining glucose homeostasis in mammals. Under fasting conditions, hepatic glucose production is critical as a source of fuel to maintain the basic functions in other tissues, including skeletal muscle, red blood cells, and the brain. Fasting hormones glucagon and cortisol play major roles during the process, in part by activating the transcription of key enzyme genes in the gluconeogenesis such as phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose 6 phosphatase catalytic subunit (G6Pase). Conversely, gluconeogenic transcription is repressed by pancreatic insulin under feeding conditions, which effectively inhibits transcriptional activator complexes by either promoting post-translational modifications or activating transcriptional inhibitors in the liver, resulting in the reduction of hepatic glucose output. The transcriptional regulatory machineries have been highlighted as targets for type 2 diabetes drugs to control glycemia, so understanding of the complex regulatory mechanisms for transcription circuits for hepatic gluconeogenesis is critical in the potential development of therapeutic tools for the treatment of this disease. In this review, the current understanding regarding the roles of two key transcriptional activators, CREB and FoxO1, in the regulation of hepatic gluconeogenic program is discussed.

Cyclohexane에 의한 생체장기의 독성을 검토할 목적으로 흰쥐에 체중 kg당 1.56 g의 cyclohexane을 복강으로 1일 1회 2일 간격으로 4회 투여한 다음 24시간 후에 처치하여 각 장기 (간, 신장, 비장, 심장, 소장, 위 및 폐)의 체중 당 장기무게 (%)와 조직세포중 glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) 활성변동을 측정한 결과, 실험군의 체중 당 폐무게가 대조군에 비하여 현저하게 증가 (p<0.001)하였고 이와는 반대로 G6Pase 활성은 유의한 (p<0.001) 감소를 나타내었다. 그러나 폐를 제외한 장기에서는 별다른 차이를 볼 수 없었다. 이러한 결과는 cyclohexane이 주로 폐조직에 독작용을 야기시킨다는 것을 시사해 주고 있으며, 폐조직에서 malondialdehyde 함량이 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 (p<0.05) 증가된 것이 이를 뒷받침 해 주고 있다. 한편, cytochrome P450에 의해 나타나는 aniline hydroxylase 활성은 폐조직이 간조직에 비하여 대단히 낮았으며, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) 활성 역시 간조직 보다 현저하게 낮게 나타났다. 그리고 cyclohexane 투여로 인하여 ADH 활성은 간 및 폐조직 모두에서 증가하였으나 간조직에서 더욱 민감한 반응을 나타내었다. 이상 실험결과를 종합해 볼 때, cyclohexane은 폐조직에 주로 독성을 나타내며 이는 간조직에서 대사된 cyclohexane의 독성 중간대사산물인 cyclohexanone이 혈류를 통해 폐조직에 분포되어 나타난 결과로 사료된다.

주류의 섭취가 산업화학물질의 생체 내 독성유발에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 검초하기 위해 흰쥐를 이용하여 15% 에탄올을 6주간 섭취시킨 후, cyclohexane (CH)을 2일 간격으로 4회 복강 투여하고 24시간 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 체중 당 폐 무게와 폐 세척액 내 단백질 함량은 에탄올 전처치군이 대조군과 비교하여 증가되었고, 폐 조직 중 glucose-6-phosphatase의 활성은 감소되었다. 형태학적 변화에서도 CH만 투여한 군과 비교하여 에탄올 6주 섭취 후 CH를 투여한 군에서 부분적인 무기폐현상과 색전현상이 심화되어 나타났다. 따라서 CH 투여 시 에탄올을 전처치함으로써 간 조직 중 CH 효소의 활성이 증가되어, 과잉의 대사부산물들이 폐에 분포됨으로 인해 폐 조직의 손상이 심화되는 것으로 나타났다.

Cell death has been traditionally classified in apoptosis and necrosis. Apoptosis, known as programmed cell death, is an active form of cell death mechanism that is tightly regulated by multiple cellular signaling pathways and requires ATP for its appropriate process. Apoptotic death plays essential roles for successful development and maintenance of normal cellular homeostasis in mammalian. In contrast to apoptosis, necrosis is classically considered as a passive cell death process that occurs rather by accident in disastrous conditions, is not required for energy and eventually induces inflammation. Regardless of different characteristics between apoptosis and necrosis, it has been well defined that both are responsible for a wide range of human diseases. Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD-I) is a kind of human genetic disorders and is caused by the deficiency of a microsomal protein, glucose-6-phosphatase-${\alpha}$ ($G6Pase-{\alpha}$) or glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT) responsible for glucose homeostasis, leading to GSD-Ia or GSD-Ib, respectively. This review summarizes cell deaths in GSD-I and mostly focuses on current knowledge of the neutrophil apoptosis in GSD-Ib based upon ER stress and redox signaling.

This study was designed to examine the anticarcinogenic effect of dietary supplementation with garlic powder on rat hepatocarcinogenesis. All rats were initiated by a single dose (200 mg/body weight) intraperitoneal injection of diethylnitrosamine (DEN), and three weeks later, subjected to two-thirds partial hepatectomy. Two weeks after initiation, four groups of rats were given experimental diets supplemented with 0 (control group), 0.5, 2.0, or 5.0% garlic powder for 6 weeks. Rats were sacrificed at eight weeks after initiation. The induction of placental glutathione S-transferase (GST-P) positive foci was significantly inhibited almost equally in all three groups fed garlic diets. Glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activity was increased in rats fed 0.5% and 2.0% garlic powder, and was negatively correlated with the number and area of GST-P positive foci. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) contents were decreased in rats fed 2.0% and 5.0% garlic powder. Only 5.0% garlic powder supplementation significantly increased the glutathione content and the glutathione S-transferase activity, compared to the control group. Therefore, all levels of garlic powder, 0.5% to 5.0%, exerted an anti promotional effect during hepatocarcinogenesis. Dietary supplementation with garlic powder seemed to maintain microsomal membrane integrity by increasing G6Pase activities. Glutathione-dependent detoxifying enzymes did not seem to contribute to this protective effect directly. The present study suggests that garlic powder is effective in inhibiting the induction of GST-P positive foci, possibly by stabilizing the hepatic microsomal membrane.

Alkaline phosphatase (APase) was found to be inducible in Anabaena sp. strain CA Growth was less than control in presence of most amino acids except glycine and serine, but most amino acids enhanced APase activity. Highest APase activity was recorded in tyrosine supplemented culture followed by hydroxyproline, cystein, valine and glutamic acid. Threonine supplemented material showed lowest APase level (1.8 nmol/mg protein/min). Lactose, glucose, sodium pyruvate and succinate stimulated growth but not APase activity. APase activity was high in the presence of sucrose, mellibiose, mannitol, arabinose, maltose and sorbose, even though the growth in these supplements was less than in control. Organic phosphate sources supported good growth of the organism. Best growth occurred in presence of inorganic phosphate, adenosine diphosphate, fructose 1,6-diphosphate or ribulose 1,5-diphosphate, followed by other phosphorus sources tested. APase activity in presence of any of the organic phosphate sources was 3 to 5 fold low as compared to phosphate limited culture. Also, there was no APase activity in cultures grown on inorganic phosphate. These data indicate that most amino acids and a few carbohydrates (sucrose, mellibiose, arabinose and sorbose) are suitable for APase production. Lactose, glucose, pyruvate or succinate may be used as a carbon source during photoheterotrophic growth of the cyanobacterium. Glycine and serine are preferred nitrogen sources for its growth. Phosphate repressible APase activity has been found in Anabaena sp. strain CA.

This study was done to investigate the antidiabetic effect of Glechoma hederacea LINNAEUS in Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by intravenous injection of STZ at a dose of 45 mg/kg dissolved in citrate buffer. The methanol extract of Glechoma hederacea was orally administrated once a day for 6 days. The contents of serum glucose, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol and Atherogenic Index (Al) were significantly decreased, but high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio (HTR) were significantly increased in Glechoma hederacea treated STZ-sample group compared to the those of STZ-control group. The content of hepatic lipid peroxide and activity of catalase were decreased, but content of glutathione as well as activities of glutathione-S-transferase and superoxide dismutase were increased in Glechoma hederacea treated STZ-sample group compared to the those of STZ-control group. The content of hepatic glycogen and activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucokinase were significantly increased, but activity of glucose-6-phosphatase was decreased in Glechoma hederacea treated STZ-sample group compared to the those of STZ-control group. These results indicated that methanol extract of Glechoma hederacea would have antidiabetic effect in STZ-induced diabetic rats.
