$\beta$-Sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol have been known to the phytosterols the most frequently found in plants. Metabolism of phytosterols was investigated using rat feces and liver microsomes. Feces were collected after phytosterols (a well characterized mixture of $\beta$-sitosterol 40%, campesterol 30% and dihydrobrasicasterol) were administered orally (0.5 ${g/kg$) to rats. Metabolites of phytosterols were identified using GC/MS. Three peaks were eluted at 12.47, 12.65, 12.87 min and had characteristic molecular ions m/z 428, 430, 432, respectively. Three fecal metabolites were identified as androstadienedione, androstenedione, and androstanedione. No metabolites could be detected in the rat liver microsomal reaction mixture. The results suggest that the metabolites of phytosterols in rat feces are formed by oxidation at 3- position, saturation at 5- and 6- position, and 17- side chain cleavage in the rat large intestine.

We have examined the purgative effect of three Jechun-jun formulas in sprague dawley(SD) rat. Three jechun-jun formulas were Jechun-jun(Sample I ) and augmented Jechun-jun(Sample II) and augmented Jechun-jun add rhubarb(sample III ). We examined the amount and the humidity of feces in rat. The experimental animals were devided into four groups. as control group and three Jechun-jun (sample I, II, III). We administerd the water extract of sample I, II, III to rat per oral for 8days long. After every 24hours measured the amount of wet feces from rats in metabolic cage. Humidity rate of feces from rat was at first measure wet feces for 24hours (W) and measure dried feces (W1) and then we consider W-W1 as humidity. High humidity rate means constipation changes into moistening stool. The amount of wet feces and humidity rate of feces in rats were increased in sample I, II, III. Sample I has highest humidity rate of feces. so showed strong moistening effect. Sample II has mild effect in treating constipation. sample III has most amount of wet feces. in conclusion Jechun-jun has an effect of moistening stool. and augmented Jechun-jun add rhubarb has strong purgative effect.

After ablactation, wistar strain white male rats, weighing 270g and 340g, were fed with a diet of CLEA for three months. The whole daily excretion of each feces and urine were collected, and extracted with water($80^{\circ}C$ hot water). The combined extraction were filtered and the $B_2$ was determined with the parts of the filterates by the lumiflavin fluorometric method, and the FMN, FAD and FR with the rest of the filterates by paper chromatography. The following results were obtained; 1. $B_2$ contents in the feces were $27.52{\gamma}$ per 100 grams per body weight, and $83.93{\gamma}$ per each rat per day. 2. $B_2$ contents in the urine were $18.47{\gamma}$ per 100 grams per body weight, and $56.33{\gamma}$ per each rat per day. The total daily excretion of $B_2$ contents in the feces were 1. 5 times as much as in the urine. 3. Among the total daily $B_2$ excretion of one white wistar strain rat in the feces were the following ; FAD, 81.0% ; FMN, 14.9% ; FR, 3.3%. Therefore the order of the contents were FAD>FMN>FR.

This study was conducted to evaluate the in vivo gastrointestinal survival and adhesive properties of orally administered Lactobacillus brevis FSB-1. ELISA conducted using polyclonal antibodies specific for L. brevis FSB-1 was able to detect the organism in feces; therefore, we used ELISA to determine the concentration of lactic acid bacteria in feces collected from Wister rats that had been administered $10^{10}$ cells/rat/d orally for 20 d. The mean recovery of L. brevis FSB-1 was approximately $10^{7.22}$ cells/g of wet feces during the oral administration period, and $10^{7.50}$ and $10^{7.46}$ at 8 and 10 d after the end of oral administration, respectively. These results indicate that L. brevis FSB-1 was able to survive in the gastrointestinal tract of rats, and that it had a high adhesive property in rat colons.

Two 3-month old Wistar Strain male rats (weights was 270g and 340g respectively) were used as samples in order to determine the daily excretion of thiamine contained in urine and feces by the thiochrome reaction. The results were as follows. 1. Daily excretion of urine was 5,2 cc per 100 grams of body weight and that of thiamine was $18.65\;{\gamma}$ per 100 grams of plasma. 2. Daily excretion of feces was 2.4 grams per 100 grams of body weight and that of thiamine was $7.24\;{\gamma}$ per 100 grams of plasma. 3. Daily excretion of thiamine contained in urine is about twice the amount of thiamine excretion contained in feces. Thus, it can be concluded that more of the excretion of thiamine was mainly excreted through urine.

The purpose of this study was to determine pharmacokinetic parameters and tissue distribution patters of urinary trypsin inhibitor(UTI) in Sprague-Dawley rats. $Na^{125}$I was conjugated to UTI to make $^{125}I-UTI$ and the concentrations were determined by $\gamma$-counter. With the aid of nonlinear least-square regression analysis for i.v bolus injection of 1,000 unit UTI including $^{125}I-UTI$, the temporal concentration curves were best fitted by 2-compartment open model. The distribution phase half-life was 0.39$\pm$0.02 hours whereas the elimination half-life was 12.99$\pm$1.05 hours in male rats. The volume of distribution and total body clearance in male rats were 0.28$\pm$0.01 1/kg and 83.16$\pm$1.15 ml/kg/h, respectively. We could not find any difference of pharmacokinetic parameters of UTI between male and female rats. UTI were distributed widely in rat organs. In both male and female rats, the kidney was the highest distributed organ. Amount of UTI in 24 hour cumulative urine in male rats was 36.22$\pm$8.74% and that in 48 hours was 43.32$\pm$10.55%. Excretion via feces was very scanty, with the 24 hours cumulative amount being only 2.76$\pm$0.97%. This data suggest the main excretion route of UTI is urine.

Demonstration of the highly positive correlation between blood cholestrol levels and heart disease has made consumers wary of the fats in meat, milk and eggs. The egg, as perhaps the single largest common source of cholesterol, has been cited by many members of the medical and scientific world as a food contributing to heart disease. In light of decreasing per capita egg consumption and continuing dietary egg cholesterol controversy, many researchers have focused their efforts on egg nutrition. The results reported, however, are often contradictory. In spite of the disputable scientific evidence, the egg has been labelled (erroneously) as a highly cholesterogenic food. The objective of this presentation is to present a general picture of the problem and discuss our laboratory findings relevant to the problem. An isotope technique was utilized to incorporate $^{14}C$-cholesterol into egg yolk lipoproteins and study the metabolic fate of dietary ovo-cholesterol in rats. Two hundred and fifty micro-curies of 4-$^{14}C$-cholesterol, emulsified in corn oil, were orally administered to five Single Comb White Leghorn laying hens. Eggs were collected, hard-boiled, and the hot dried egg yolk powder (HEY) was prepared. Total radioactivity excreted via feces was determined. The rat groups fed egg yolk powder excreted more than 95% of the ingested ovo-cholesterol, whereas the rat chow group excreted only 47%. No difference was observed between HEY and CEY treatments. Therefore, an unknown lipid factor present in egg folk accelerates cholesterol turnover rate and excretion via feces.
