Effects of tocopherols and $\beta$-carotene on the oxidation of the solid model system of a free fatty acid mixture (64.5% of linolic acid ; 26.4% of oleic acid ; 5.0% of palmitic acid) with tocopherols and $\beta$-carotene were studied. $\alpha$-tocopherol revealed an antioxidant activity at the concentration below 0.05%, however, it showed a prooxidant activity when the concentration was higher than 0.05%. The antioxidant activity of ${\gamma}$ -tocopherol was not affected by the concentrations in the range of 0.01~0.10% in the model and ${\gamma}$-tocopherol showed higher antioxidant activity than that of $\alpha$-tocopherol. It seemed that $\alpha$-tocopherol was unstable compared to ${\gamma}$-tocopherol during oxidation. $\beta$-carotene showed a weak antioxidative activity at the initial stage of this system while $\beta$-carotene showed a prooxidant activity in the presence of tocopherol. $\beta$ -carotene was highly susceptible to autoxidative degradation during oxidation.

고추가루로부터 acetone을 추출용매(抽出溶媒)로 하여 oleoresin을 제조한 후 capsanthin과 capsaicin의 안정성(安定性)을 검토(檢討)하고, oleoresin-linoleate aqueous model system을 이용하여 ascorbic acid, 금속(金屬), 염류(鹽類), EDTA 등을 첨가하여 capsanthin의 변화(變化)를 측정(測定)한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 추출용매(抽出溶媒)로는 acetone이 가장 효과적이었으며, 고추가루로부터 oleoresin의 수율은 14.2%이었다. 2. Capsaicin은 capsanthin에 비하여 고온에서 상당히 안정하였으며 $pH\;3{\sim}8$에서 oleoresin중의 capsanthin과 capsaicin도 비교적(比較的) 안정하였다. 3. Ascorbic acid를 $10^{-3}M$ 첨가시 capsanthin의 산화반응에 prooxidant로서 작용하였으나 $10^{-1}M$ 첨가시에는 antioxidant로서 작용하였다. 4. $Cu^{+2}M$, $Fe^{+3}M$ 이온은 capsanthin의 산화반응(酸化反應)을 촉진시켰으며 농도(濃度)가 높을수록 영향이 컸다. 5. EDTA는 capsanthin에 대하여 항산화(抗酸化) 효과(效果)를 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 다양한 생리활성이 보고된 폴리페놀 화합물인 resveratrol의 항산화 활성과 산화촉진 작용을 세포 내에 조성될 수 있는 여러 pH 조건에서 시간별로 분석하고, resveratrol의 세포독성에 미치는 antioxidant들의 작용을 조사하였다. Resveratrol을 pH 6.5에서 저장하였을 경우 pH 7.4에서 저장하였을 때보다 유의적으로 높은 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 나타내었다. Resveratrol을 pH 8.0에서 저장시 항산화 활성을 나타내지 않았으며, 오히려 다른 조건에서 보다 현저히 많은 $H_2O_2$를 생성하는 산화촉진 효과를 나타내었다. Resveratrol의 HeLa 세포에 대한 독성은 SOD, NAC, glutathione, ascorbic acid 등과 같은 antioxidant 존재하에 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 이러한 독성의 강화는 첨가된 antioxidant 의 농도에는 크게 영향 받지 않았다. 본 결과는 resveratrol이 세포 내 pH 환경에 따라 antioxidant 또는 $H_2O_2$와 같은 활성산소종을 생성하는 prooxidant로 작용할 수 있으며, resveratrol로부터 생성되는 활성산소종의 제거가 세포독성을 증가시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.

Objective: Sterilization (tubal sterilization and vasectomy) is a widely applied contraceptive method worldwide. Although most studies have described sterilization as a safe method, there are reports of tubal ligation (TL) and vasectomy complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of TL and vasectomy on the serum oxidative stress, specifically prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, over time. Methods: Male and female rats were classified into vasectomy, sham-vasectomy, TL, and sham-TL groups, respectively. The PAB and MDA levels were measured on days 15 and 45 and months 3 and 6 after the intervention. For female rats, blood sampling was performed during the diestrous phase and estradiol and progesterone were also measured. Results: Serum PAB and MDA increased after TL (p<0.05). Vasectomy increased serum MDA remarkably after 45 days, 3 months, and 6 months (p<0.05). After vasectomy, serum PAB also increased although not significantly. Serum estradiol and progesterone decreased remarkably in the TL group compared to the sham group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Bilateral TL and vasectomy both increase the serum oxidative stress; however the imbalance after TL was very noticeable. As for the TL, the reduction of serum estrogen levels can be involved in this imbalance. Complications followed by TL or vasectomy could be due to increased levels of oxidants. Thus, prescribing antioxidants during and or after surgery may be a solution.

The purpose of this study was to investigate any differences in the efficiency of various antioxidants for the three types of substrates such as corn oil in water (O/W) emulsion, water in com oil (W/O) emulsion, and bulky corn oil. ${\alpha}$-Tocopherol (${\alpha}$-Toc) at 0.01 or 0.02%, ascorbic acid (AsA), ascorbyl palmitate (AP), and BHT at 0.02% were added separately to the prepared O/W emulsion, W/O emulsion, and bulk oil, and their antioxidative effects were compared. The mixture of ${\alpha}$-Toc ind AsA or AP at the level of 0.02% also was tested to observe any synergistic effect. Oxidation was made by storing at 42${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$ for 25 days and the oxidative stability was determined by peroxide value and conjugated dienoic acid with time fluctuation of storage. The results were as follows: 1. In case of O/W emulsion, the order of antioxidative effect was AP> ${\alpha}$-Toc+AP>${\alpha}$-Toc+AsA>AsA>BHT. 2. In case of W/O emulsion, the order of antioxidative effect was AsA>AP>${\alpha}$-Toc+AsA>BHT. ${\alpha}$-Toc+AP mixture showed the prooxidant effect rather than synergistic effect. 3. In case of bulk oil, the order of antioxidative effect was AsA>AP>${\alpha}$-Toc+AsA>${\alpha}$-Toc+AP\ulcornerBHT. Therefore, AsA, a hydrophilic antioxidant, was more effective in W/O emulsion system than in O/W emulsion system, while the opposite trend was found in AP, a lipophilic antioxidant. AsA, a hydrophilic antioxidant, was more efficient in bulk oil of anhydrous substrate. ${\alpha}$-Toc showed prooxidant effects in all substrates.

대두유 수중유적형 유화액의 산화에 미치는 surfactant micelle의 영향을 규명하기 위하여 수중유적형 유화액에서 continuous phase로 전이되는 ferric iron의 양을 측정하였다. Continuous phase로 전이된 ferric iron의 양은 첨가한 잉여의 surfactant micelle의 농도를 $0.5{\sim}2.0%$로 증가시킬수록, 저장기간이 길어질수록 증가하였다. pH 3.0에서 continuous phase로 전이된 ferric iron의 양은 pH 7.0에서 보다 높게 나타났다. Ferric iron을 함유한 대두유 수중유적형 유화액의 지방산화정도는 hydroperoxide와 headspace hexanal을 측정하여 살펴본 결과 첨가된 계면활성제의 양이 증가할수록 산화는 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로 첨가된 계면활성제에 의해 수중유적형 유화액에서 prooxidant로 작용하는 ferric iron의 위치가 변화되어 산화를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다.

Purpose : 귀전우(Euonymus alatus, EA)는 현재까지 항종양활성을 나타낸다고 보고되었지만 그 작용 메커니즘에 대해서는 아직 밝혀지지 않은 채 남아 있다. 본 연구에서는, 자궁근종세포(ULSMC)에서 EA의 분자적 수준에서의 작용메커니즘을 연구${\cdot}$검토하고자 하였다. Methods : EA의 열수추출액이 자궁근종세포(ULSMC)와 caspase-3 pretense의 활성도에 미치는 영향을 측정하였다. Results : 우리는 자궁근종에서 EA 유도 세포독성의 메커니즘을 검토하였는바, 근종 세포들은 20-200g/ml 농도의 EA추출물에 6시간 배양될 때, caspase-3가 활성화되고, 그때 세포들은 apoptosis를 유발하게 되었다. EA에 의한 apoptosis의 유도가 진행되었으며, cytochrome- c의 세포질분획에서 양적증가가 caspase-3의 활성보다도 우세하였다. GSH합성의 저해제인 5mM buthionine용액에 전처리는 EA유도 apoptosis를 용이하게 하지만 pan-caspase inhibitor인 Z-VAD-fmk용액 전 처리는 부분적으로 apoptosis유도를 억제하였다. 한편, EA는 건강한 지원자들로 부터 채취한 말초혈액 단핵세포들에 있어서는 독성의 효과는 없었다. Conclusion : 이들 결과들은 EA가 prooxidant로 작용을 하고 그리고 caspase-3 activation과 mitochondrial pathway를 경유하는 apoptosis를 유발한다는 것을 나타낸다. EA의 탕제약제로서 열수추출액이 항산화활성뿐만 아니라, 종양세포에 대한 세포독성효과를 나타낸다고 보고된 바, 이에 향후 근종치료에 대한 임상연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

The content of anserine, taurine, and L-histidine was measured by HPNC in the muscle of mature(670~690g) and juvenile(80~120g) rainbow trout fatmed in Chungsun, Korea. The concentration of anserine and taurine was higher in mature rainbow trout than in juvenile, but that of L-histidine was lower in mature than in juvenile. When measured with the chemiluminescence(CL) assay, anserine and taurine showed very powerful antioxidative activity above physiological concentration rainbow trout. Taurine still showed antioxidative activity below physiological concentration, while anserine showed prooxidative activity below that. L-Histidine was prooxidative dose-dependently. In TBA method, while taurine showed very week antioxidative effect, anserine appeared very powerful antioxidant and L-histidine prooxidant at physiological concentration. There was no synergism between anserine and taurine and anserine inhibited prooxidative effect of L-histidine.

Vanadium has been known as environmental polluants resulted from the burning of fossil fuels in nature. It led to toxic responses by prooxidant activity, inducing free radicals and the accumulation in the tissues. Recently, there has been growing interest in an essential nutritional requirement of vandium and especially the treatment of diabetes. But because of its strong toxicity, thease chemicals have narrow safety margin. In order to reduce metal toxicity, and increase absorption and biological activities, metal ions such as selenium and chromium were uptaken in yeast cells. In this study, Vanadium yeast was prepared by uptaking vanadate in yeast cells. Vanadate induced hematological and biochemical changes in the experimental rat blood were inhibited by the treatments of vanadium yeast. Lipid peroxidation and catalase activity were significantly increased in kidney and liver after a single intraperitoneal injection of vanadate to rats. However, these observations were apparently reduced in the vanadium yeast treated group. Vanadium amount in blood, kidney and liver after a single intraperitoneal injection of vanadium yeast was significantly reduced than that of vanadate treated group. In conclusion, vanadium yeast uptaken vanadate in yeast cells could reduce toxic effects of vanadate.
