Objective: The oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1) gene plays an important role in the degradation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein and adipocyte proliferation in mammals. For this reason, we aimed at investigating the association of OLR1 gene polymorphisms with carcass quality traits in Chinese Qinchuan cattle. Methods: The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was identified in the 3' untranslated region of bovine OLR1 gene by DNA sequencing. In addition, the haplotype frequency and linkage disequilibrium estimates of three SNPs were evaluated in 520 individuals. Results: Results indicated that the studied three SNPs were within the range of moderate genetic diversity (0.25< polymorphism information content<0.5). Haplotype analysis of three SNPs showed that ten different haplotypes were identified, but only five haplotypes were listed as those with a frequency of <0.05 were excluded. The Hap3 ($-G_1T_2C_3-$) had the highest haplotype frequency (42.10%). Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed that the three SNPs had a low linkage ($r^2<0.001$). The T10588C and C10647T were significantly associated with backfat thickness and intramuscular fat content in Qinchuan cattle. Conclusion: Based on our results, we believe that the OLR1 gene could be a strong candidate gene for influencing carcass quality traits in Qinchuan cattle.

Low density lipoprotein (LDL)의 산화는 동맥경화의 유발과 진행에 결정적 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 마늘의 주요 대사산물인 allylmercaptan의 산화 low density lipoprotein에 의해 손상된 내피세포의 보호효과에 대하여 실험하였다. Allylmercaptan의 항산화 활성은 thiobarbituric acid substance (TBARS)로 측정하였다. Allylmercaptan은 0.1, 1 및 10 mM의 농도에서 $Cu^{2+}$에 의해 유도된 LDL의 산화를 용량의존적으로 억제하였다. 폐동맥 내피세포를 $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ 상태에서 24시간 동안 미리 배양시킨 후 세측한 다음 다시 24시간 동안 0.1 mg/ml oxidized LDL (ox-LDL)을 첨가하여 배양하였다. 이 때 ox-LDL이 Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)의 방출과 glutathione (GSH)를 감소시키는 원인으로 세포막 손상의 지표로 LDH와 GSH 함량을 조사하였다. 본 실험 결과 allylmercaptan을 일정 농도 별로 endothelial cell에 첨가하여 배양했을 때 LDH의 방출과 GSH의 감소를 현저하게 억제하였다. Peroxide를 형광분석법으로 24 well plate에서 직접 측정한 결과 allylmercaptan이 폐동맥 내피세포 내에서 ox-LDL 유도 peroxide의 방출을 억제하였다. 그리고 allylmercaptan은 과산화수소의 소거능도 있었다. 본 실험결과 allylmercaptan은 ox-LDL 유도 폐동맥 내피세포를 보호할 수 있었으므로 allylmercaptan은 동맥경화의 예방에 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

갈근(Puerariae radix)을 MeOH 추출물에서 silica gel column chromatography를 이용하여 플라보노이드 화합물인 daidzin 및 puerarin를 분리하여 low density li-poprotein의 산화에 대하여 실험하였다. 이들 플라보노이드중 daidzin의 경우 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$에서 puerarin은 600$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 농도에서 5$\mu$M Cu$^{2+}$ 매개산화 LDL에 대하여 억제 효과가 좋았다. 이때 같은 농도의 diadzin과 puerarin를 첨가한 산화 LDL의 전기영동의 이동거리는 native LDL 보다는 약간 높았으나 oxidized LDL의 대조군 보다는 이동거리가 낮았다. 또 J774 및 macrophages 유도 산화 LDL에 있어서도 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ daidzin과 600$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ puerarin을 첨가 하였을 때 억제효과 나타났다. LDL을 5$\mu$M Cu$^{2+}$존재하에서 산화시킬 때 동일 농도의 daidzin과 puerarin 을 첨가하면 conjugated dienes의 생성이 거의 억제되었다.

Purpose: Obesity has become a very significant health problem in childhood. Fructose taken in an uncontrolled manner and consumed in excessive amounts is rapidly metabolized in the body and gets converted into fatty acids. This single center prospective case-control study aims to investigate the relationship between fructose consumption and obesity and the role of fructose consumption in development of atherosclerotic diseases. Methods: A total of 40 obese and 40 healthy children who were of similar ages (between 8 and 18 years) and sexes were included in the study. In the patient and control groups, the urine fructose levels, as well as the levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), small dense LDL, Apolipoprotein A and Apolipoprotein B values, which have been shown to play a role in development of atherosclerotic diseases, were measured. Results: The levels of oxidized LDL and small dense LDL and the ratio of Apolipoprotein A/Apolipoprotein B were found to be significantly higher in the patient group. Conclusion: We found that urinary fructose levels were higher in the obese children than the healthy children. Our results suggest that overconsumption of fructose in children triggers atherogenic diseases by increasing the levels of small dense LDL and oxidized LDL and the ratio of Apolipoprotein B/Apolipoprotein A.

The flavonoids are one of the most numberous and widespread groups of natural consituents. The low molecular weight of benzo-${\gamma}$-pyrone derivative are ubiquitous in plants and are vegetables nuts, seeds, leaves, flowers, and bark. The flavonoids constitute of a large class of compounds ubiquitous in plants containing a number of phenolic hydroxyl groups attached to ring structures conferring the antioxidant activity. Epidemiologic studies suggest that the dietary intake of antioxidants constitutes a risk factor for vasclar disease indicating that oxidation may be important in the pathogenesis of human athero-sclerosis. Elevated plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentration are associated with accelerated atherosclerosis, LDL is oxidized by smooth muscle cells resulting in several chemicals and physical changes of LDL. Oxidized LDL is responsible for cholesterol loading of macrophages foam cells formation and atherogenesis. There have been insulficient tests of the protective effects of flavonoids against LDL oxidation to make definitive statements about their structure activity relationships. How-ever hydroxylation of the flavone uncleas can appears to be advantageous because polyhydroxylated aglycone flavonoids are potent inhibitor of LDL modification. This identification may lead to new and more effective antioxidant strategies for abrogating the atherosclerotic process the leading cause of death and disability in industrialized societies.

Fruits of Arctium lappa L. (Compositae), which has been used as the antiinflammatory, detoxifying and diuretic agents in the folk remedies, was examined on the in vitro oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL). Several lines of evidence indicate that oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) may promote atherogenesis. Hence. The role of antioxidants in the prevention of LDL oxidation needs to be determined. The activity of fractions of Arctii Fructus treated with oxidized LDL which was incubated with $16\;{\mu}M$ of $Cu^{2+}$ for metal catalyzed oxidation was investigated. The BuOH fraction (4\;ppm) inhibited the oxidative modification of LDL as evidenced by a decrease in the lipid peroxide content (thiobarbituric acid reacting substances activity), the negative charge of LDL (electrophoretic mobility) and increase of the vitamine E content.

Human plasma low density lipoprotein(LDL) is the main carrier for cholesterol, and recent studies suggest the normal LDL can be readily oxidized by free radical and not interact with LDL receptor. Lipoprotein pariticles are consisted of lipid andprotein, and fatty acids of lipoproteins are prone to oxidation. LDL particles readily undergo oxidative modification by copper. From the results, oxidized LDL altered its biological properties. A marked increase in the electrophoretic mobility of LDl on agarose gel indicated that negative surface charge of the LDL particles was increased. Also, the results from the HPLC showed that oxidized LDL was degraded into several polypeptides nonenzymatically. Degradation tests which measured the amount of 5-IAF labelled oxidized LDL were carried out by monocyte and hepatocyte cell culture. Hepatocyte cell culture of modified LDL did not show consistent pattern. However, binding rate of modified LDL with HMDM(human monocyte derived macrophage) was enhanced with oxidation, but was retarded by addition of antioxidants(hyaluronic acid, vitamin A, vitamin E). Also comparisons of oxidized-LDL, acetyl-LDL and MDA-LDL showed significant differences in the chemical properteis and binding affinity to HMDM. Thus, modificaition of normal LDL altered its biological properties.

Antioxidative activity of fraction extracted from cultivation of Aspergillus sp. A-5 against oxidation of human low density lipoprotein(LDL) was investigated. Fractions of Aspergillus sp. A-5 cultivation was sucessively purified with ethyl acetate and silica gel column chromatography. The concentration of fraction 4 inhibited Cu$^{2+}$-induced oxidation of LDL almost completely. Band 3 isolated by the further purification of fraction 4 was higher than that of same concentration of $\alpha$-tocopherol, BHA and BHT. The elcetrophoretic mobility of oxidized LDL by addition of Band 3 was faster than that of native LDL, but slower than that of oxidzed LDL. It is concluded that fraction of Aspergillus cultivation contained antioxidants with the capacity to inhibit oxidative modification of LDL.
