내독소에 의한 간 상해 때 Kupffer 세포의 역할과 작용 기전을 규명하기 위하여 내독소 (Escherichia coli 026 : B6 lipopolysaccharide)를 Sprague-Dawley rat에 체중 100g 당 1.5mg을 복강내에 투여하여 15분, 30분, 1시간, 2시간, 4시간, 8시간, 16시간, 24시간, 72시간, 120시간 후 Kupffer세포의 형태학적 변화를 광학 및 전자현미경적으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 광학현미경적 소견으로는 내독소 투여 15분 후 부터 Kupffer 세포 수의 증가와 비대가 관찰되었으며 시간이 경과함에 따라 더욱 심해졌고, 동모양혈관내 호중구, 적혈구 및 섬유소의 침윤이 관찰되었다. 4시간 후에는 동모양혈관의 울혈과 확장이 관찰되었고 호중구외에도 호산구 및 림프구 등의 염증세포가 침윤되었다. 72시간 후 울혈은 감소되었고, 120시간 경과 후 Kupffer 세포의 수는 증가하였지만 형태학상 대조군과는 큰 차이는 없었다. 전자현미경적 소견으로는 내독소 투여 15분 후부터 Kupffer 세포에서는 포음소포의 증가와 일차 리소솜과 이차 리소솜의 수와 크기의 증가가 관찰되었으며 시간이 경과함에 따라 더욱 심해졌다. 진정염색질이 증가하였고 무과립형질내세망의 증가와 종창, 과립형질내세망의 종창, 골지복합체의 종창 및 폴리리보솜이 관찰되었다. 사립체의 종창, 전자밀도 저하 및 능선의 소실이 관찰되었고, 혈소판과 섬유소의 응집으로 인한 미소혈전이 동모양혈관내에서 관찰되었다. 72시간 후 Kupffer 세포의 이차리소솜이 감소되었으며, 120시간후 Kupffer 세포는 형태학적으로 대조군과 큰 차이는 없었다. 간세포는 1시간 후 지방변성이 보였고, 16시간 후에는 저산소성 공포 및 괴사가 관찰되었다. 이상의 성적을 종합하면 Kupffer 세포는 음세포작용에 의해 내독소를 탐식하고 진정염색질의 양의 증가와 세포소기관의 증가에 의해 활성화되어 리소솜의 형성을 증가시켜 내독소를 분해하고 해독화하여 간세포의 방어에 중요한 역할을 하며 내독소에 의한 간 상해는 간세포에 대한 직집적인 독성작용이라기 보다는 이러한 Kupffer 세포의 탐식과 분해하는 기능부전과 동모양혈관내 미소혈전 형성에 의한 허혈이 간 상해를 일으키는데 관여하였을 것으로 생각되었다.

Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidative effects of Puerariae Radix extract. Method Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), Total antioxidant response (TAR), Total phenolic content, Reactive oxygen species (ROS), 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activities, lipid peroxidation were examined. Result Total antioxidant status was examined by total antioxidant capacity(TAC) and total antioxidant response(TAR) against potent free radical reactions. TAC and TAR of Puerariae Radix extract at the concentration of 5 mg/ml were 2.02 and 1.50 mM Trolox equivalents, respectively. Total phenolic content of Puerariae Radix extract at the concentration of 5 mg/ml was 2.29 mM gallic acid equivalent. Concentration of Puerariae Radix extract at which DPPH radical scavenging activity was inhibited by 50% was 5.91 mg/ml as compared to 100% by pyrogallol solution as a reference. The inhibitory effect of the extract on lipid peroxidation was examined using rat liver mitochondria induced by FeSO4/ascorbic acid. Puerariae Radix extract at the concentration of 1 mg/ml slightly but significantly decreased TBARS concentration. The extract further prevented lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of Puerariae Radix extract on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was examined using cell-free system induced by hydrogen peroxide/FeSO4. Addition of 1 mg/ml of Puerariae Radix extract significantly reduced dichloroflurescein (DCF) fluorescence. The extract caused concentration-dependent attenuation of the increase in DCF fluorescence, indicating that the extract significantly prevented ROS generation in vitro. Thus antioxidant effects of Puerariae Radix extract seem to be due to, at least in part, the prevention from free radicals-induced oxidation, followed by inhibition of lipid peroxidation. Conclusion As a result, Puerariae Radix seems to have antioxitative effect and antioxidant compount.

본 실험은 식이내 Se와 vitamin E 수준이 알코올을 섭취한 흰쥐의 간 지질과산화에 관련된 효소의 활성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한 것이다. 이를 위해 평균체중이 58~62g인 Sprague-Dawley계의 숫쥐 72마리를 Se의 투여량 (0mg, 0.4mg, 10mg/kg diet)과 vitamin E 투여량 (0mg, 150mg/kg diet) 및 알코올 섭취 여부에 따라 12군으로 구분하여 7주간 사육 하였다. 알코올섭취는 사육 3주째부터 급수용 물에 10%로 맞추어 투여하여 제한 없이 먹게 하였다. 혈장중의 ${\gamma}$-GTP합성은 알코올 섭취군이 비섭취군 보다 높았고, Se의 과잉(HSe) 및 결핍된군(LSe)이 정상군(CSe) 보다 높았으며 알코올 섭취시 Se과 vitamin E의 결핍은 ${\gamma}$-GTP량의 상승에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 혈장 GOT는 알코올섭취군이 비섭취군에 비해서 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 혈장 GPT 활성은 알코올 섭취군이 비섭취군 보다 약간 높은 경향이었고, Se이 결핍된 군에서의 알코올 섭취의 영향은 다른 군에서의 알코올섭취 영향보다 GPT의 상승에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤다. GSH-Px의 활성은 Se이 결핍된 LSe군은 HSe군과 CSe군에 비해서 유의적으로 낮았다. Cytosol fraction의 GSH-Px 활성은 알코올 섭취군에서 약간 낮은 값이었고 Se이 과잉 및 결핍된 HSe군과 LSe군은 CSe군에 비해서 약 2배정도 낮은 값을 나타내었다. HSe군의 혈장내 Se과 cytosol fraction GSH-Px의 상관관계는 negative 상관관계를 보였고 (r=-0.662, p< 0.001) L-군은 positive 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.640, p<0.001). Microtome fraction에서 GSH S-transferase의 활성은 알코올 섭취군에서 약간 높은 경향이었고, LSe군이 다른군에 비해서 유의적으로 높았으며, cytosol fraction에서도 LSe, CSe, HSe군 순서로 높았고, vitamin E 비섭취군은 섭취군 보다 높은 경향을 나타내었고, 알코올 섭취시 Se과 vitamin E결핍은 GSH S-transferase를 더욱 증가시켰다. Mitochondria의 catalase 활성은 HSe군은 CSe군 보다 낮은 경향이었으나 Se을 결핍시킨 LSe군은 오히려 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 간 cytosol fraction의 SOD는 각 군간에 큰 변화가 없었고 cytochrome P-450은 알코올 섭취군이 높았으며 Se을 과잉으로 섭취한 HSe군에서 유의적으로 낮았다. 결론적으로 Se 와 vitamin E의 결핍은 지질과산화에 관련된 효소의 활성을 높혀 간 지질 과산화를 촉진하고 더우기 알코올의 섭취시에는 그 영향이 더욱 두드러진 것으로 보인다.

흰쥐에서의 알콜섭취와 식이지방랴잉 성장과 간기능 및 혈액의 생화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 160g 내외의 Sprague-Dawley 종 숫쥐 48마리를 4군, 즉 고지방비알콜군, 고지방 알콜군, 저지방비알콜군, 저지방알콜군으로 나누어 3주간 6주간 사육하였다. 저지방과 고지방식이는 총 Calorie의 12%와 30%지방 Calorie로 하였고 알콜은 급수용 물에 1-% ethanol로 하였고 알콜은 급수용 물에 10% ethanol을 섞어 공급하였다. 만성적인 알콜섭취에서는 알콜 자체와 영양결핍이 상호작용하여 여러가지 생화학적 임상학적 변화를 초래하게 되므로, 본 연구에서는 식이에 lipotropic agents인 choline과 nethionine을 포함한 모든 필수영영소들을 충분히 제공한 상태에서 알콜과 식이지방의 효과를 측정하고자 하였다. 총 Calorie는 고지방알콜 군에서 21.86% 저지방알콜군에서는 23.61%에 해당 하여 moderate drinking에 해당하였다. 성장에 미치는 영향은 저지방알콜군이 유의하게 저조한 성장을 보였으며 낮은 식이효율을 나타냈다. 혈장내 triglyceride농도는 알콜섭취군에서 증가하였고 섭췻기간이 길수록 그 차이는 커진 반면에 식이지방 함량에 따른 차이는 보이지 않았다. 총 cholesterol과 Hdl-cholesterol농도는 군간의 차이를 보이지 않았으며 vitamin $B_1$상태를 나타내는 trighyceride 활성과 TPP effrct도 군가의 차이가 없었다. 간기능을 간접적으로 시사하는 혈청 GPT활성과 간 mitochondria의 respiration rate도 알콜섭취와 지방함량에 따른 차이를 보여주지 않았다.

Chronic test were conducted to determine those effects. The chronic test was conducted by dividing rats into 5 groups according to the type of drugs and dosages administrated as follows; the control(group A), and group B was given 25mg/kg caffeine orally once daily for 30 days, group C was given 50mg/kg caffeine orally once daily for 30 days, group D was given 25mg/kg caffeine and orally ferric chloride once daily for 30 days and group E was given 25mg/kg caffeine and 25mg/kg vitamin E once daily for 30 days.

The concentrations of serum glucose in groups B(124.5mg/dl), C(130.1mg/dl), D(122.1mg/dl), E(119.3mg/dl) were significantly higher(p < 0.01) in comparison to that of the control(101.5mg/dl). But, there were no significant differences in the concentrations of urea nitrogen, uric acid, creatinine, total protein, albumin and A/G ratio in comparison to that of the control. 3.

But the proportions of oleic acid(3.41*, 3.11**, 3.12**%) and linoleic acid (18.03**, 15.79**, 14.74**%) of group D were significantly lower(**:p < 0.01, *:p < 0.05) in comparison to the control(oleic : 3.63, 3.72, 3.79%, linoleic : 20.03, 18.71, 18.48%). 9. In order to determine the oxidative damages to the protein in serum, mitochondrial and microsomal fraction of the rat liver, the patterns of the SDS-PAGE were identified, but the results of SDS-PAGE were not significantly different between the control and experimental groups.

본 연구의 목적은 오레가노 추출물의 유리 라디칼 소거 및 지질과산화 억제 등 항산화 효과를 조사하기 위함이다. Pyrogallol의 억제율을 100%로 기준하였을 때, DPPH 라디칼을 50% 억제시키는데 필요한 오레가노 함량은 $21.8{\mu}g$이었다. 총항산화 활성은 강력한 자유라디칼에 대한 총항산화능으로 측정하였다. 오레가노 추출물 7.5 및 $15{\mu}g$의 총항산화능은 각각 15.1 및 31.4 nmol Trolox와 대등한 수준이었다. 오레가노 추출물 0.2 및 $0.4{\mu}g$의 산소라디칼 소거능은 각각 1.4 및 2.4 nmol gallic acid와 대등한 수준이었다. 오레가노 추출물 30 및 $75{\mu}g$의 총페놀 함량은 각각 40.5 및 83.9 nmol gallic acid와 대등한 수준이었다. 지질과산화에 대한 억제효과는 이황화철/아스코르빈산에 의해 유도된 랫드 간 미토콘드리아를 이용하여 조사하였다. 오레가노 추출물 20 및 $50{\mu}g$은 TBARS 수준을 각각 20 및 64% 억제시켰다. 이와같이 오레가노 추출물의 강력한 항산화 효과는 적어도 자유라디칼의 산화억제와 지질과산화 억제에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.
