고려홍삼에서 추출한 성분(RGF-3)이 살서제 Vacor로 유발된 당뇨병에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 흰쥐에서 관찰하였다. 홍삼 RGF-3 분획의 복강내투여 (20mg/kg)는 allo-xan-유발고혈당을 저하시키고 소량(10mg/kg)의 Vacor로 유발된 당불내성을 개선시켰다. 소량의 Vacor로 중독된 흰쥐는 정상대조군에 비하여 높은 혈중 insulin치를 나타내는 경향이었으며, Vacor투여 3시간 전에 복강내 투여한 RGF-3은 정상대조군에 있어서보다 더 높은 혈중 insulin치의 증가를 가져 왔다. 흰쥐의 부고환지방세포의 glucose대사[(1-$^{14}C$-glucose 의 $^{14}CO_{2}$에로의 전환]와 glucose로부터의 지방합성 [(1-$^{14}C$) glucose로부터의 $^{14}C$-lipid에로의 전환]은 Vacor중독에 의하여 저하되었으나, RGF-3 투여에 의하여 정상수준까지 회복되었으나, 그러나 정상지방세포에 대해서는 RGF-3은 별다른 영향을 주지 아니하였다. 한편 이상과 같은 말초지방세포의 glucose 대사는 insulin의 in vitro 첨가에 의하여 촉진되었으나, Vacor 중독에 의하여 감약되었고, RGF-3은 Vacor 중독에 의한 감약된 반응을 어느정도 회복시켰다. 홍삼의 수침추출물 (30mg/kg)과 RGF-3분획 (20mg/kg)의 $10{\~}20$일간 격일 투여는 그 후 대량(25mg/kg)의 Vacor 중독으로 유발되는 고혈당 발생에는 별 영향을 주지 아니하였다. 이와 간은 실험결과에 비추어 홍삼의 RGF-3분획은 Vacor 중독으로 저하된 말초조직의 당대사를 개선시켜 소량의 Vacor 중독시의 당불내성을 정상으로 회복시키는 것이라 사료되었다.\alpha}$-tocopherol의 항 산화작용을 더욱 효과적으로 촉진 시킬 것으로 생각된다.-L(독성 호르몬-L)의 작용을 억제함으로서 암환자의 체중 감소를 방지하고, 식욕감퇴를 개선할것으로 생각된다.해되었으며, $Rb_{1}$은 장내의 효소와 tetracycline-resistantant bacteria에 의해 Rd와 2 종류의 미확인 물질로 분해되었다.xA_{2}$ synthetase 억제제인 imidazole의 효과와 유사하였다. 4.

Troglitazone is an anti-diabetic agent that improves hyperglycemia by reducing peripheral insulin resistance in type II diabetic patients. Troglitazone has been shown to cause growth inhibition of various normal and cancerous cells. However, the molecular mechanism by which troglitazone affects the growth of these cancer cells remains unclear. Here, we report that troglitazone treatment of Hep 3B human hepatocellular carcinoma cells resulted in dose-dependent growth inhibition. Analysis of cell cycle distribution by flow cytometry showed that the number of apoptotic cells was increased in a dose-dependent manner in response to troglitazone treatment. cDNA microarray analysis showed a number of differentially expressed genes in response to troglitazone. Among the upregulated genes, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1)-responsive RTP801 was induced in a dose-dependent manner. We also observed HIF-1 accumulation by immnocytochemistry after troglitazone treatment. These results strongly suggest that RTP801 might be involved in troglitazone-induced apoptosis in Hep 3B cells.

27-Hydroxycholesterol (27OHChol), a prominent cholesterol metabolite present in the bloodstream and peripheral tissues, is a kind of immune oxysterol that elicits immune response. Recent research indicates the involvement of 27OHChol in metabolic inflammation (meta-inflammation) characterized by chronic responses associated with metabolic irregularities. 27OHChol activates monocytic cells such that they secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and increase the expression of cell surface molecules such as pattern-recognition receptors that play key roles in immune cell-cell communication and sensing metabolism-associated danger signals. Levels of 27OHChol increase when cholesterol metabolism is disrupted, and the resulting inflammatory responses can contribute to the development and complications of metabolic syndrome, including obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular diseases. Since 27OHChol can induce chronic immune response by activating monocyte-macrophage lineage cells that play a crucial role in meta-inflammation, it is essential to understand the 27OHChol-induced inflammatory responses to unravel the roles and mechanisms of action of this cholesterol metabolite in chronic metabolic disorders.

Soy and soy foods are a rich source of isoflavones, which possess several biological activities. The effect of soy isoflavones, genistin and diadzin and their respective aglycones, on glucose uptake in adipocytes isolated from normal or high-fat fed rats was examined. As expected, insulin stimulated glucose uptake in a concentration-dependent manner. However, genistin and daidzin and their aglycones inhibited glucose uptake in a concentration-dependent (25-100μM) manner. In a time-course response, the aglycones significantly inhibited glucose uptake throughout 3 hr (after 30, 60, 120, 180 min), whereas the glycones only significantly inhibited the glucose uptake after 120 min and 180 min in the isolated rat adipocytes. Thus, the glucosides of genistein and daidzein, i.e. genistin and daidzin, were much less effective in inhibiting glucose uptake than their aglycones. In addition, genistin and daidzin did not significantly affect the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, whereas genistein and daidzein did significantly inhibited glucose uptake compared to the vehicle control group by 47.5% and 24.8%, respectively (p < 0.05). The isoflavones also significantly inhibited glucose uptake in adipocytes isolated from rats fed a high-fat diet (50% of total calorie intake) when compared to the vehicle control. Finally, the isoflavones were found to enhance lipolysis in adipocytes isolated from high-fat fed rats, where the glycerol released by the aglycones was also higher than that released by the glycones. The current results showed that the inhibitory effect of daidzein on glucose uptake was very similar to that of genistein. The aglycones were more potent in inhibiting the uptake of glucose and a more potent stimulator of lypolysis than the glycones in adipocytes isolated from high-fat fed rats.

Molecular marker selection has been an acceptable tool in the acceleration of the genetic response of desired traits to improve production performance in chickens. The crossbreds from commercial parent stock (PS) broilers with four Thai synthetic breeds; Kaen Thong (KT), Khai Mook Esarn (KM), Soi Nin (SN), and Soi Pet (SP) were used to study the association among chicken growth hormones (cGH) and the insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) genes for growth and carcass traits; for the purpose of developing a suitable terminal breeding program for Thai broilers. A total of 408 chickens of four Thai broiler lines were genotyped, using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. The cGH gene was significantly associated with body weight at hatching; at 4, 6, 8, 10 weeks of age and with average daily gain (ADG); during 2 to 4, 4 to 6, 0 to 6, 0 to 8, and 0 to 10 weeks of age in $PS{\times}KM$ chickens. For $PS{\times}KT$ populations, cGH gene showed significant association with body weight at hatching, and ADG; during 8 to 10 weeks of age. The single nucleotide polymorphism variant confirmed that allele G has positive effects for body weight and ADG. Within carcass traits, cGH revealed a tentative association within the dressing percentage. For the IGF-I gene polymorphism, there were significant associations with body weight at hatching; at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age and ADG; during 0 to 2, 4 to 6, and 0 to 6 weeks of age; in all of four Thai broiler populations. There were tentative associations of the IGF-I gene within the percentages of breast muscles and wings. Thus, cGH gene may be used as a candidate gene, to improve growth traits of Thai broilers.

The incidence of diabetes mellitus among Koreans as shown an increasing tendency recently, probably due to the various factors such as the improving living conditions. The majority of people are ignorant or indifferent to the nature, progress and prognosis of diabetes mellitus in Korea. 107 cases of diabetes mellitus which had been admitted to Severance Hospital between January and August, 1971 were Studied. Of these 107 cases, 22 cases were interviewed thoroughly during their hospital stay and the response to their diet therapy was carefully checked. 1) Of the 107 cases 69 cases were male and 38 cases were female; the sex ratio was 18:1. The age of the onset of the disease was as follows: 2 cases were under 20 years of age; 20 cases (18.7%) were under 40 years of age and 85 cases (79.5%) were over 40 years of age. Juvenile diabetes was less frequent when compared with developed countries. 2) Patients complaints and symptoms on admission, complications of sickness, and duration of sickness until the female discharge were also studied. We found that the incidence of tuberculosis complication in diabetes melltius was alarming (13. 8%). 3) In most cases, the control of diabetes was inadequate and diet practisis by the patients was also very poor even when they had known of the diabetes mellitus for a considerable period of time. During hospitalization 75 cases (70.0%) were controlled by diet and oral medications alone. Only 16 cases (15.0%) needed insulin injection, the remaining 16 cases required both diet control and insulin injection. 4) In general, patients received hospital diet satisfactorily. Only a few cases complained of difficulties with milk intake because of no previous dietary experience or of excessive meat orfish because they preferred vegetables and fruit. 5) Patients responded well to the dietitians interviews in the hospital but follow up study and care were poorly organized after discharge from the hospital. 6) The diet exchange 1ist published by the Korean Diabetic Association was not well received by the patients or the general puplic because it is not inexpensive and detailed instructions were not given at the time of discharge from the hospital.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia should be controlled to avoid complications of diabetes mellitus. This study investigated the effects of autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.) berry (AOB) on fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia in mice. MATERIALS/METHODS: In vitro ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory effect of AOB was determined. Maltose solution (2 g/kg) with and without AOB extract at 500 mg/kg or acarbose at 50 mg/kg was orally administered to normal mice after overnight fasting and glucose levels were measured. To study the effects of chronic consumption of AOB, db/db mice received the basal diet or a diet containing AOB extract at 0.4% or 0.8%, or acarbose at 0.04% for 7 weeks. Blood glycated hemoglobin and serum glucose and insulin levels were measured. Expression of adiponectin protein in epididymal white adipose tissue was determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: In vitro inhibitory effect of AOB extract on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was 92% as strong as that of acarbose. The AOB extract (500 mg/kg) or acarbose (50 mg/kg) significantly suppressed the postprandial rise of blood glucose after maltose challenge and the area under the glycemic response curve in normal mice. The AOB extract at 0.4% or 0.8% of diet or acarbose at 0.04% of diet significantly lowered levels of serum glucose and blood glycated hemoglobin and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance values in db/db mice. The expression of adiponectin protein in adipose tissue was significantly elevated by the consumption of AOB at 0.8% of diet. CONCLUSIONS: Autumn olive (E. umbellata Thunb.) berry may reduce postprandial hyperglycemia by inhibiting ${\alpha}$-glucosidase in normal mice. Chronic consumption of AOB may alleviate fasting hyperglycemia in db/db mice partly by inhibiting ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and upregulating adiponectin expression.

PPARs (peroxisome proliferator activated receptors) are member of nuclear hormone receptors superfamily. Activations of PPARs upon binding with ligands modulate glucose metabolite, differentiation of adipocyte, inflammation response, and so on. Thiazolidinedione analog is one of potential antidiabetic drug that binds and activates PPARν selectively and enhances insulin sensitivity. In an effort to develop novel and effective antidiabetic thiazolidindione analogs, syntheses of benzoxazole and benzothiazole-linked thiazolidinedione analogs were performed via coupling reaction of benzoxazolylalkylaminoethanol with hydroxybenzylthiazolidinedione to develop novel and effective antidiabetic thiazolidindiones. All compounds were evaluated their biological potency by PPARν transactivation assay and revealed the similar potency with Troglitazone. However, lengthening of N-alkyl substituent did not seem to be beneficial for the activity.
