토끼의 골격근 homogenate에서 23,000$\times$G, 60 분간의 원심분리와 얻은 근 microsome의 ATPase 활성, 근수축에 대한 이완작용, 및 Ca 의 흡수작용을 여러 가지 조건에서 측정하였다. ATPase 활성은 Ca++ Mg++ 양 이온의 존재에 의하여 활성화되며 , 5 mM Mg++ 의 존재하에서는 Ca++ 의 최적농도는 0.1mM이다. Oxalate의 존재하에서는 1 mM 의 Ca++ 이 최적농도이므로 oxalate의 작용은 불용성 Ca-oxalate의 작용은 불용성 Ca-oxalate를 microsome vesicle so 및 medium 내에 침전시켜 유리 Ca++ 농도를 저하시키는 것이라고 생각된다. Microsome의 이완작용은 조제후 120 시간까지 시간에 따라 감소되어 가나, 그이 ATPase 활성은 거의 변화가 없는 것으로 보아 Ca++ + Mg++ -의존성 ATPase 는 이완작용에는 직접 관련이 없는 것으로 해석된다. Oxalatedmlwhswo는 microsome의 Ca++ 흡수량을 현저히 증대시키며 동시에 흡수포화에 도달하는 시간을 지연시킨다. Oxalate의 이러한 효과도 Ca-oxalate의 형성에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다. Microsome 내에 축적되는 Ca 의 량은 ATP 농도가 커질수록 많아진다. 그러나 축적된 Ca 의 량과 ATP 농도사이에 화학정량론적 관계는 없는 것같다.

Effect of the egg yolky from laying hens intubated, p.o., astaxanthin (designated AEY) on the oxidation of mouse liver microtome was investigated using female ICR mouse (6~7 weeks of age). Mice were adapted in a temperature- and humidity-controlled house for one week and randomly divided into 7 treatment groups (10 mice/cage/treatment). Mice were intubated p.o., AEY (50, 100 and 150 mg) or control egg yolk (CEY, 150 mg) every week for 3 weeks. BHT (5 mg) and e -tocopherol (50 mg) were fed to mice as positive control. At week 4, the liver microsome was prepared from sacrificed mice. Protein content of mouse liver microsome with AEY treatment was relatively higher than that with CEY treatment. AEY treatment remarkably lowered the content of unsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid and linoleic acid, but raised that of the saturated fatty acids including stearic acid. AEY group showed relatively higher antioxidative activity than CEY, when used Asc/F $e^{+2}$ or NADPH/F $e^{+2}$ as oxidant. Antioxidative activity of AEY was more effective than $\alpha$-tocopherol, but less effective than BHT.

In vitro effects of nitrofurantoin, an antimicrobial agent for acute and chronic urinary tract infection, on the lung microsomal lipid peroxidation and the generation of reactive oxygen radicals were investigated to elucidate the biochemical mechanisms of its in vivopulmonary toxicity. The interaction of nitrofurantoin with porcine lung microsome resulted in significant lipid peroxidation. In addition, nitrofurantoin stimulated the generation of reactive oxygen radicals, $O^{-}_{2}{\cdot},\;H_2O_2$ as well as a highly reactive secondary oxygen species, $OH{\cdot}$. The stimulation of lipid peroxidation was inhibited not only by superoxide dismutase and catalase, but also by hydroxyl radical scavengers, mannitol and thiourea. Neither singlet oxygen $({^1}O_{2})$ was detected during the incubation of microsome with nitrofurantoin, nor lipid peroxidation was inhibited by singlet oxygen scavengers. When incubated anaerobically under the nitrogen atmosphere, the ability of nitrofurantoin to stimulatle lipid peroxidation was abolished. It appears that NADPH-dependent metaboliam of nitrofurantoin in pulmonary microsome under aerobic condition is accompanied by the stimulation of lipid peroxidation through the mediation of reactive oxygen radicals, particularly hydroxyl radical. It is strongly suggested from these results that the stimulation of pulmonary microsomal lipid peroxidation by the reactive oxygen radical may be a in vivo mechanism of pulmonary toxicity caused by nitrofurantoin.

Using Ames'Salmonella/microsome system, mutagenicity of antirichomonal nitrofuran, nitroimidazole, and nitrothiazole derivatives was examined. Nitrofurantoin, nifuratel, furazolidone, metronidazole, nimorazole, ornidazole, and aminitrozole showed potent mutagenicity en $TA_100$ strain which is a base substitute mutant and contains R-factor plasmid pKM101 without microsomal enzyme activation. In addition, nifuratel, furazolidone, metronidazole, and ornidazole also induced frameshift mutation in $TA_98$ strain.

In order to evaluate a potential role of mitochondria in the mediation of toxicity of paraquat (PQ), submitochondrial particle and microsome of mouse liver were compared by oxygen radical generation and lipid peroxidation. With NADH in submitochondrial particle and NADPH in microsome as electron donors, PQ stimulated production of superoxide anion and $H_2O_2$ in both fractions. Under the same conditions, PQ enhanced the generation of ethylene from methional suggestiong stimulation of OH production by PQ. But these effects by PQ were somewhat lower in submitochondrial particle than in microsome. In addition, lipid peroxidation(measured as MDA production) was stimulated by PQ in both fractions. The stimulation of lipid peroxidation in both fractions seemed to occur by the same mechanism probably through perferryl ion. This was supported by the following findings: i) The lipid peroxidation in both fractions was partially inhibited by SOD and completely inhibited by DETAPAC(an iron chelator) but not by catalase or OH scavenger. ii) Addition of $ADP-Fe^{3+}$ further increased PQ-induced lipid peroxidation but decreased ethylene production from methional suggesting no correlation between OH production and lipid peroxidation. The redox-cycling of PQ in mitochondria appeared to be linked to NADH dehydrogenase, not to CoQ since all of the observed stimulations by PQ in submitochondrial particle were inhibited by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate(a NADH dehydrogenase inhibitor) but not affected by other respiratory chain blockers. The above results demonstrate that redox-cycling properties of PQ leading to oxygen radical generation and lipid peroxidation can also occur in mitochondria in the same manner as in microsome. Therefore, the observed actions of PQ in mitochondria suggest that mitochondria may also contribute to toxicity of this drug in vivo.

In this study, to improve the stability of fermented squalene developed using microorganisms, Microsome-SQ20 was prepared, and its physical behavior, properties, and efficacy were studied. The appearance of Microsome-SQ20 was a transparent liquid, no smell, and had a specific smell. The color was a transparent liquid, and the specific gravity was 0.928 and the pH was 5.82 (20% solution), forming a nano-emulsion suitable for use in cosmetics. It was confirmed that the content of the main component of squalene was 20.05%, which was stably sealed. The particle size measured by 0.1% aqueous solution of Microsome-SQ20 was 134.8 nm to obtain a bluish emulsified phase. The antioxidant effects of F-SQ and MF-SQ by DPPH radicals were 80.72% and 81.5%, respectively, showing superior effects compared to L-ascorbic acid. The cell viability of squalene (SQ), fermented squalene (F-SQ) and microsome squalene (MF-SQ) was at 10 ppm, respectively, showing 121.2%, 150.3%, and 129.9% cell viability. It was found that SQ, F-SQ, and MF-SQ had an elastase inhibitory ability of 8.7%, 10.33% and 8.7% at 10 ppm, respectively. In addition, the inhibitory ability of MMP-1 was 1.55%, 41.44%, 31.79% at 10 ppm for SQ, F-SQ, and MF-SQ, respectively, indicating that F-SQ significantly reduced the MMP-1 expression.

In this study, we experimented the influence of three herbal medicines, which are Saussurea lappa Clarke, Poncirus trifoliata Rafin, Citrus aurantium Linne, which are called 'Yigiyak(理氣藥)' on drug metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4 in Human Liver Microsome. Above all, the reason for this study is that herbal medicines can be assumed that herbs might have interactions with drugs, other herbs, alcohol and chemicals whether those are much better synergy effects than expected effects when the medicine was treated alone or not. As a result, we showed that all of five traditional herbal medicines had no CYP 3A4 inhibition effect on 10, 20, 30, 40, $50{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ doses in Human Liver Microsome even Saussurea lappa Clarke showed a little inhibition as about 93% and 79% inhibition rate of control. However, this result are mostly not enough to prove that SLC has a CYP 3A4 inhibition effect. Moreover, it is not that those rates showed that those herbal medicines have CYP 3A4 induction effect. In conclusion, the result could support that those herbal medicines are more safe than chemical drugs even if this is the basic step to prove that result. Therefore, more specific studies to support this result, which are Kinetic study, cell and animal study then finally until clinical research, are required.

A great deal of attention has been directed recently at the roles played by lipidperoxides in the mediation of pathogenesis and complications of various disease. In view of the strong inhibitory activity of Brazilin on the lipidperoxidation, we examined the effect of Brazilin on the lipidperoxidation in diabetic states. Brazilin inhibited the lipidperoxidation of liver mitochondrial and microsomal fraction in alloxan-induced diabetic ICR mice in the dose and time dependent manner. In the light of the present results, further elucidation of the inhibitory activities of Brazilin on the liver and blood plasma is warrented.

동면동물인 한국관박쥐(Korean greater horseshoe bat)와 비롱면 롱물인 토끼의 근소포체가 지니는 생리 및 근조직의 형태적 특징을 비교해 보고자 본 실험을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 내렸다 Caffeine과 Mgcl2는 농도별로 처리하고, p연와 온도에 변화를 주는 등 각각의 생리조건하에서 한국관박쥐와 토끼 대흉근 근소포체 마이크로솜의 C32' 흡수정도가 다르게 나타났으며, Ca2'ATPase 활성 역시 상이함을 보였는데. 이로 미루어 보아 in vivo 상태에서 두 동물의 근소포체가 지니는 생리적 특성에 차이가 있을 것으로 추측된다. 형태학적 측면에서도 근심유의 수기와 미토콘드리아의 크기에 있어서 뚜렷한 차이를 발견할 수 있었는데. 이는 두 동물의 대흉근이 수행하는 운동의 종류와 관련이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

19 pesticides including 12 insecticides, 2 herbicides and 5 fungicides have been tested for mutagenic activity in the Salmonella/microsome system. It was found that insecticides, DDVP, Trichlorfon, Sumithion, Naled, fungicide, TMTD and herbicide NIP induced base substitute mutation and herbicide MO frameshift mutation. Mutagenicity of Sumithion and NIP was appeared only after rat microsomal enzyme activation and that of TMTD was increased after the microsomal enzyme activation.
