본 연구는 2015년 KNHANES 자료를 이용하여 30~64세 전당뇨병 대상자들의 유제품 및 어패류의 식품섭취와 대사증후군 위험인자와의 관련성을 분석하였다. 전당뇨병군과 혈당 정상군의 일반적인 특성에서 대사증후군 위험인자 관련 생화학적 지표가 유의적 차이를 보였다. 전당뇨병군의 유제품 섭취량에 따라 분석한 결과, 유제품 섭취 중앙값 (187.0 g) 이상 대상자의 대사증후군 위험인자 중 혈중 TC 수준과 양의 연관성을 보였다. 총 에너지 섭취량, 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방, MUFAs 및 무기질 섭취량은 중앙값 이상 대상자에서 유의적으로 높았으나, 대사증후군 위험인자에 대한 보호효과는 유의적이지 않았다. 어패류 섭취량에 따른 대사증후군 위험인자와의 연관성을 분석한 결과 BP와 혈중 LDL-C 수준은 중앙값 이상 섭취하였을 때 상승할 확률이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 따라서 섭취 유제품의 유형과 함유성분을 고려한 연구 수행이 필요할 것으로 보이며, 어패류는 식사의 반찬으로 제공되는 경우가 많기 때문에 적절한 섭취량 뿐 아니라 조리방법과 함께 섭취하는 식품에 대한 추가 분석을 수행하여 건강에 미치는 효과를 명확하게 규명할 연구수행이 수반되어야 할 것이다.

The addition of decane to biotransfonnation media containing Yarrowia lipolytica led to the accumulation of intennediate L-phenylacetaldehyde and L-phenethyl acetate during bioconversion of L-phenylalanine, whilst none of these products were obtained in conventional aqueous fennentations. The results obtained support an earlier hypothesis (Spinnler et al. 1996. Proc. Natl. A cad. Sci. USA 93: 3373-3376) that organic solvents, acting as "thermodynamic traps" for hydrophobic intermediates, can substantially alter metabolic fluxes.

In this study, we investigated the molecular pathways targeted by platycodin D, which could involve apoptosis in immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT). We demonstrated that platycodin D-mediated apoptosis of HaCaT cells exhibited representative features, including DNA fragmentation, caspase-3, caspase-8 activation, and upregulation of Fas and FasL expression, but not p53 activation. To investigate the events involved in activation-induced FasL upregulation, we have examined mRNA accumulation, protein expression, and NF-$\kappa$B activity to elucidate transcription level in the HaCaT cell line treated with platycodin D.

Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the relationship between metabolic risk factors, Index of Nutrition Quality, and the dietary quality index score of Korean adults. Methods: The subjects were 18,652 Korean adults aged 19 years or older (7,899 males, 10,753 females) who participated in the 2016-2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Subjects were divided into normal, pre-metabolic syndrome, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) groups according to the number of their metabolic risk factors. Data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Results: About 44.7% of men in the MetS group were at least college graduates (P < 0.001), whereas 52.0% of women in the MetS group were middle school graduates or lower (P < 0.001). The frequency of fruit and dairy products intake tended to decrease as the number of metabolic risk factors increased in both men and women (P for trend < 0.001). As the number of metabolic risk factors decreased, the frequency of grain intake tended to decrease in men (P for trend < 0.001) while the frequency of intake of red meat (P for trend = 0.001), poultry (P for trend < 0.001), and eggs (P for trend < 0.001) decreased in women. The total scores of Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I) (men P < 0.001, women P < 0.01) and Korean Healthy Eating Index (KHEI) (men and women P < 0.001) were significantly lower in the MetS group compared to the other groups, and the total score of DQI-I and KHEI tended to decrease as the number of metabolic risk factors increased. Conclusions: Dietary quality evaluation using various indices can provide more information on the dietary problems related to metabolic risk factors. Nutrients and foods that have been confirmed to be related to metabolic risk factors can be used to develop dietary guidelines for the nutritional management of metabolic diseases.

The detection of many synthetic chemicals used in industry that may pose a genetic hazard in our environment is of great concern at present. Since these substances are not limited to the original products, and enter the environment, they have become widespread environmental pollutants, thus leading to a variety of chemicals that possibly threaten the public health. In this respect, to regulate and to evaluate the chemical hazard will be important to environment and human health. The genotoxicity of 3 synthetic chemicals was evaluated in L5178Y $tk^{+/-}$ mouse lymphoma cells in vitro. 9H-carbazole (CAS No. 86-74-8) did not induce significant mutation frequencies both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system. 1, 3-Dichloro-2-propanol (CAS No. 96-23-1) revealed a significant increase of mutation frequencies in the range of $625-373\;{\mu}g/mL$ in the absence of metabolic activation system and $157-79\;{\mu}g/mL$ in the presence of metabolic activation system. And also, fenpropathrin (CAS No. 64257-84-7) appeared the positive results only in the absence of metabolic activation system. Through the results of MLA tk assay with 3 synthetic chemicals in L5178Y cells in vitro, we may provide the important clues on the genotoxic potentials of these 3 chemicals.

Panax ginseng is a medicinal plant is a material with various pharmacological activities and research suggests that it is particularly effective in representative metabolic diseases such as hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Therefore, in this study, systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to investigate the comprehensive effect of P. ginseng on metabolic parameters representing these metabolic diseases. A total of 23 papers were collected for inclusion in the study, from which 27 datasets were collected. The investigational products included P. ginseng and Korean Red ginseng. Across the included studies, the dose ranged from 200 mg to 8 g and the supplementation period lasted from four to 24 weeks. The study subjects varied from healthy adults to those with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and/or hyperlipidemia. As a result of the analysis, the levels of glucose and insulin area under the curves, % body fat, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly reduced in the P. ginseng group as compared with in the placebo group. In conclusion, P. ginseng supplementation may act as an adjuvant to prevent the development of metabolic diseases by improving markers related to blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids.

For metabolic study of pinusolide, a naturally occurring platelet activating factor antagonist, a synthetic method for preparation of radiolabeled pinusolide was studied. Pinusolide was first oxidized with $OsO_4/NaIO_4 $to 17-nor-8-oxo compound (2), which was subsequently converted to pinusolide by treatment with the Lombardo reagent $(Zn/CH_2Br_2/TiCI_4)$. The Wittily reaction was unsuccessful in the latter carbonyl methylenation of 2.

Despite the importance of acetate kinase in the metabolism of bacteria, limited structural studies have been carried out on this enzyme. In this study, a three-dimensional structure of the Escherichia coli acetate kinase was constructed by use of molecular modeling methods. In the next stage, by considering the structure of the catalytic intermediate, trifluoroethanol (TFE) and trifluoroethyl butyrate were proposed as potential inhibitors of the enzyme. The putative binding mode of these compounds was studied with the use of a docking program, which revealed that they can fit well into the enzyme. To study the role of these potential enzyme inhibitors in the metabolic pathway of E. coli, their effects on the growth of this bacterium were studied. The results showed that growth was considerably reduced in the presence of these inhibitors. Changes in the profile of the metabolic products were studied by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Remarkable changes were observed in the quantity of acetate, but other products were less altered. In this study, inhibition of growth by the two inhibitors as reflected by a change in the metabolism of E. coli suggests the potential use of these compounds (particularly TFE) as bacteriostatic agents.

Microorganisms capable of utilizing diaminododecane containing amine groups diterminally were isolated from the soil by enrichment culture. One strain of these isolated strain, designated as EL-0112L, was selected for this study. The results of this study were as follows. 1. This isolated strain EL-0112L was identified as Microbacterium, from the results of morphological, cultural, and biochemical tests. This isolated strain was named temporarily Microbacterium sp. EL-0112L for convenience. 2. Microbacterium sp. EL-0112L was tested for ability to utilize different kinds of substitued alkanes containing cyan, amine, chloro, and thiol groups(monoterminally or diterminall substituted) as carbon source. Pentamethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, n-decane, laurylamine, and alkane derivatives containing cyan, chloro, and thiol groups were not utilized by Microbacterium sp. EL-0112L. 3. The alkane derivatives that did not serve as growth substrates were tested further in oxidation tests using resting cell preparation of Microbacterium sp. EL-0112 L. Alkane derivatives containing cyan, chloro, thiol groups, and n-decane were oxidized by Microbacterium sp. EL-0112 L. It is possible that this isolated strain is also able to degrade their substituted counterparts since they are structually similar to diaminododecane. The remarkable substrates that were being oxidized were dichlorodecane, and 1-dodecanethiol. Microbacterium sp. EL- 0112L could not oxidize pentamethylenediamine, and hexamethylenediamine. 4. The metabolic products formed from diaminododecane by Microbacterium sp. EL-0112 L were acid compound containing carboxyl group and not containing amine group. On the thin layer chromatography, Rf values of these metabolic products were different from that of the product formed by Corynebacterium sp. EL-0112L. These results suggested the specificity of diaminododecane as carbon source.
