This study was carried to investigate the antidiabetic effect of ethanol extract of Smallanthus sonchifolius(S.S) in Streptozotocin(STZ)- induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by intravenous injection of STZ at a dose of 43mg/kg dissolved in citrate buffer. The ethanol extract of S,S in leaves and root were orally administrated once a day for 7 days at a dose of 1,000mg/kg. The contents of serum glucose, triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol were significantly decreased in S.S treated group compared to the those of STZ-control group. The content of hepatic glycogen and activity of glucokinase(GK) were significantly increased,and activity of glucose-6-phoshatase(G-6-Pase) was significantly decreased in S.S treated group compared to the those of STZ-control group, but activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G-6-PDH) was not significantly increased, These results indicated that ethanol extract of S.S would have antidiabetic effect in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

The ethanol extract of the Crotalaria juncea seeds, which showed promising antispermatogenic and antiandrogenic activities in albino mice, was taken up further for the isolation of the active fractions present in it. Two fractions that were obtained from thin layer chromatography were subjected for testing to know their antispermatogenic and antiandrogenic activities. After preliminary trials the fraction I showed maximum antifertility activity at the dose level of 200 mg/kg body weight when administered orally to the rats for 50 days. The fraction I was found to affect spermatogenesis as well as the endocrine functions of the testis as indicated by gravimetric, histopathological and biochemical changes. Further this fraction has caused degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules and Leydig cells of the testis. The accessory reproductive organs like epididymis, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, prostrate, Cowper's gland and Levator Ani muscle showed significant malfunction. Cauda epididymal sperm count and sperm motility were reduced significantly. The treatment has also resulted in increase in the cholesterol level and alkaline phosphatase activity, and decrease in protein, glycogen, sialic acid contents and acid phosphatase activity in testis. It is noteworthy that RIA studies have shown significant reduction in serum FSH, LH and testosterone. Scanning electron microscopic observations revealed abnormalities in sperm structure.

Petroleum ether, chloroform and ethanol extracts of the seeds of Melia azedarach Linn. administered orally to male rats at the dose level of 25 mg/100 g body weight for 48 days showed antispermatogenic activity, as the number of spermatocytes, spermatids and spermatozoa was decreased. The total cholesterol content was increased while protein and glycogen contents were decreased. The acid phosphatase content was also decreased while that of alkaline phosphatase increased. At the same time the weight of caput and cauda epididymis, prostate gland, seminal vesicle and Levator Ani muscle was decreased indicating its antiandrogenic property. Of the three extracts, the petroleum ether extract was more potent in its antispermatogenic and antiandrogenic activities and did not produce any sings of toxicity upto a dose of 25 mg/100 g body weight oral administration. After subjecting it to preliminary phytochemical screening the petroleum ether extract showed positive tests for steroids and saponins.

This study was conducted to investigate the food components of cooking drips from shell oysters steamed under various retort pressures. Among the drips from shell oyster steamed under different retort pressures (1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 kg/$cm^2$) the oyster drip obtained at the 4.5 kg/$cm^2$ of retort pressure had the highest degree of brix, yield, crude protein, glycogen and trichloroacetic acid soluble-N contents, while its salinity was the lowest. In the results of food safety test, the presence of E. coli (18 MPN/100 g>) and viable cell (30 CFU/g>) in the oyster drip was in acceptable level as a food-stuff. However, the sensory evaluation such as color, flavor and taste, total amino acid and free amino acid contents of cooking drip from shell oyster steamed at 4.5 kg/$cm^2$ were inferior to those of oyster wash water. Differences in the major amino acids of total amino acid and free amino acid between oyster cooking drip and oyster wash water were also found. The results suggested that the effective use methods of oyster cooking drip should be investigated.

Objective: This study investigated the meat quality characteristics, endogenous proteolytic enzymes, collagen content, and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms of different muscles of Thai native cattle (TNC). Methods: Infraspinatus (IF), Longissimus thoracis (LT), and Supraspinatus (SS) muscles were obtained from two TNC breeds, Kho-Lan (KL, n = 7) and Kho-Isaan (KI, n = 7). The muscle and meat characteristics of TNC breeds and their relationship with MyHC expression were examined. Results: Three MyHC isoforms namely MyHC I, MyHC IIa, and MyHC IIx were detected in the muscles. The KL had higher (p<0.05) MyHC IIx than the KI. The IF muscle had higher (p<0.05) MyHC I compared to other muscles. The LT muscle had the least MyHC I. The LT had higher (p<0.05) MyHC IIx than the IF and SS muscles. The IF presented the least MyHC IIx. The KL had higher (p<0.05) lightness and moisture content and lower crude protein, redness, cooking loss, shear force, and calpastatin than the KI. The glycogen, total collagen, soluble collagen, crude protein, ash contents, and troponin T degradation product of IF and SS were lower (p<0.05) than that of LT. Ether extract in LT was lower (p<0.05) than that of IF and SS. The percentage of MyHC I, MyHC IIa, and MyHC IIx were significantly correlated with muscle and meat characteristics of TNC. Conclusion: These results suggest that the differences in the MyHC isoforms may partly account for the variation in meat quality between breeds and among muscles of TNC.

난태생 어류인 조피볼락(Sebastes schlegeli)의 성숙과 안정적인 출산을 위한 기초 정보를 얻고자, 간중량지수의 월별 변화와 간세포의 활성이 생식소의 발달과 어떤 관계에 있는지 조사하고, 아울러 생식소 발달에 따른 간 및 근육조직내의 단백질과 총 RNA 함량변화도 조사하였다. 암컷의 HSI는 9월부터 높아지기 시작하여 2월에 최대 값(2.58)에 달한 뒤, 3월(성숙기) 부터 5월(출산기) 사이에는 낮아졌다 수컷에서는 10월(성숙기)부터 높아지기 시작하여 4월(회복기)에 최대 값(3.20)에 달했다. 암컷의 난황형성기에 간세포내 글리코겐과 지방적의 양이 점차 감소되나, 총 RNA의 함량은 증가하였다. 그러나 수컷에서는 다량의 지방적들이 소모되지 않고 성숙기에도 세포질내에 잔존하고 있었다. 생식소의 발달과 함께 간 세포질에는 잘 발달된 조면소포체 가 증가하였는데, 이 들은 단백질 합성과 난황 전구물질의 형성에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 간주된다. 암컷의 간과 근육조직의 단백질 및 총 RNA 함량은 1월(성장기)부터 점차 증가되기 시작하여 4월 초순(성숙기)에 최대 값을 나타낸 다음, 4월 하순(임신기)에 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 수컷에서는 초기 성숙기인 10월부터 점차 증가하여 성숙 및 교미기인 12월에 최대 값을 보인 다음, 퇴화기인 1월에 다시 감소하였다.
