The combined effects of iron and selenium status on glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity, cytochrome P-450 activity, and lipid peroxidation in the liver and intestinal mucosa of rats were investigated. In experiment one, four experimental groups (+Se+Fe, -Se+Fe, +Se++Fe, -Se++Fe) were manipulated for 3 weeks with intramuscular administration of irondextran (++Fe) and/or normal diet (+Fe) and deionized water (-Se) and/or selenium-supplemented deionized water (+Se). In experiment two, 2% dietary carbonyl iron (instead of the parenteral administration) was fed for 3 weeks to rats. Body weight of rats was significantly decreased in both parenterally and orally iron-overloaded groups (p<0.01), regardless of Se supplement. Serum iron was significantly increased in parenterally iron-overloaded groups but it was marginally increased in orally iron-overloaded groups. There was no significant difference in hemoglobin content among experimental groups in either experiment one or two. Total iron in the small intestine, intestinal mucosa, and livers was significantly high in both parenterally and orally iron-overloaded rats, regardless of selenium status. In the liver and intestine, GSHPx activity was significantly higher in all selenium-supplemented groups, compared to Se-deficient groups (p<0.01) and lipid peroxidation was significantly enhanced in both parenterally and orally iron-overloaded groups, compared to iron-adequate groups. There was no significant difference in cytochrome P-450 activity in the livers between groups in both experiment one and two. These results indicated that GSHPx activity in liver and intestinal mucosa was depended on selenium status, regardless of iron status, and iron-overload enhances lipid peroxidation in liver and intestinal mucosa by increasing the tissue iron content.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of butanol (BuOH) fraction of Alisma canaliculatum (Ac) and/or selenium (Se) treatment on glycogen level, lipid metabolism and lipid peroxidation in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of the five groups: normal, STZ-control, and three experimental groups (Ac group, Ac-Se group, and Se group). Diabetes was experimentally induced by intravenous administration of 45 mg/kg of STZ in citrate buffer. The BuOH fraction of Ac (400 mg/kg bw) was orally administered for 3 weeks. The Se group were fed a AIN-93 recommended diet mixed with Na$_2$SeO$_3$ (2 mg/kg diet). The liver glycogen level of Ac and Ac-Se groups were significantly higher, when compared with the STZ-control groups. The muscle glycogen level was not significantly differ among all groups. The levels of liver triglyceride were higher in Ac-Se group than the STZ-control group. Pancreas protein levels were significantly increased in Ac-Se group than STZ-control group. The concentration of liver malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly decreased in Ac and Se groups and decreased in Ac-Se group. Administration of BuOH fraction of Alisma canaliculatum and selenium supplementation increased the liver glycogen and triglyceride levels, and reduced peroxidative liver damage in STZ induced diabetic rats. These results suggest that treatment with a BuOH fraction of Alisma canaliculatum in combination with selenium has no synergistic antioxidative effect. Selenium supplementation may lead a decrease MDA of liver in diabetic rats.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of butanol(BuOH) fraction of Polygonatum odoratum with selenium tr-eatment on blood glucose levels and lipid peroxidations in streptozotocin(STZ) induced diabetric rats. Male Sprague-Dawly rats weighing(180-200g) were divided into five groups : normal STZ-control and three expreimental groups(P, odoratum group P, odo-Se group and Se group) Diabetes mellitus was induced by injection STZ in the tail vein at the dose of 45mg/kg B.W The BuOH fraction of Polygonatum odoratum(500mg/kg. B,W) given orally administered for 14 days. The Se treated group were fed a AIN-76 recommendation diet mixed with Na2Seo3(2mg/kg diet). Diabetic rats showed the lower weight gain compared to the normal rats. the plasma glucose levels of the P. odo-Se group were significantly lower than the other experimental groups. The plasma cholesterol levels were higher in STZ-control and Se groups compared toP.odoratum and P. odo-Se groups and HDL-cholesterol levels were increased in the diabetic experimental groups fed on BuOH fraction of P. odoratum with Se supplementation. The liver and muscle glycogen levels were not significantly differ among all groups. The plasma free fatty acid levels were lower in diabetic experimental groups fed on BuOh fraction of P. odoratum or Se sup-plementation than STZ-control and Se groups. Diabetics rats showed the higher levels of triglyceride in plasma andlower levels in liver compared with the normal group. Supplementation with Se decreased significantly the liver triglyceride level. The MDA levels in liver and kidney were significantly reduced in all the experimental groups. In conclusion administration of BuOH fraction of Polygonatuum odoratum with selenium supplementation reduced blood glucose levels and peroxdative tissue damage in STZ induced diabetic rats showing the possibility of preventiave and therapeutic use of the wild edible plant to the diabetes mellitus.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of prophylactic supplementation of vitamin E and Se on oxidative damage and antioxidant status. Fifteen healthy male buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) calves between the age of 6 to12 months were divided into three groups of five animals each: Group I-control, group II-endotoxic shock group infused with lyophilized E coli endotoxin @ 5 ${\mu}g$/kg body wt, and group III-supplemented with vitamin E @ 250 mg and Se @ 7.5 mg, one month prior to induction of endotoxic shock. All the animals in group II and group III exhibited signs of endotoxic shock. When the endotoxic shock was induced, there was significant (p<0.05) increase in the circulating levels of malonyl dialdehyde MDA (an indicator of lipid peroxidation). In the supplemented group III the magnitude of formation of MDA was also less as compared to group II at every stage of study. There was significant (p<0.05) decrease in circulating levels of SOD, GSH-Px, Catalase and G-6-PD activity from the normal (0 h) value with passage of time. As a result of endotoxic shock, these values reached a lowest value, and then showed a tendency towards the 0 h value. Prophylactic supplementation with vitamin E and Se was successful in reducing the quantum of oxidative damage due to formation of free radicals because of endotoxic shock.

Living organisms have antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase SE glutathione peroxidase, that protect themselves from the toxic effect of superoxide free radicals. Some report says that intracellular oxidation stress is involved in pathogenesis of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of red ginseng on lipid peroxidation of red blood cell and antioxidant SOD activity of serum in NIDDM patients. As a result, there were trends for decrease of lipid peroxidases of RBC and Increase of SOD activity of serum in ginseng group but that were not statistically significant. Therefore, we suggest long term and large sized control study is necessary to confirm the protective effects of red ginseng on oxidative damage in NIDDM patients.

에탄을 투여로 인한 뇌조직의 지질과산화에 미치는 식이성 Met과 Se의 효과를 구명코자 Se을 결핍시킨 횐쥐를 대상으로 Met을 수준(0, 3, 9g/kg diet)별로 급여 하였으며, 실험기간은 5주와 10주로 사육하여 뇌조직의 알코을 대사효소와 유리기 제거 효소계의 활성을 관찰하였다. 알코을 대사효소인 ADH 활성은 5주와 10주군에서 에탄을 투여시 증가되었고 Met정상급여군이 결핍과 과량급여군에 비해 유의적인 증가를 나타내었다. AIDH 활성은 에탄을 투여로 유의하게 감소되었고 특히 Met와 Se 동시 결핍시 감소가 가장 현저하였다. 투여기간이 길수록 활성은 감소하는 경향이었다. MAO활성은 에탄올 투여군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였으며, Met급여에 의해 활성은 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. SOD 활성은 에탄올 투여로 유의적인 감소를 보였으며 5주 및 10주 모두 Met 과량급여군이 결핍과 정상급여군에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였다. GSH-Px 활성은 에탄을 투여로 유의적으로 감소되 었으며, Met과 Se 동시 결핍군에서 가장 감소정도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. Met 급여수준이 증가할수록 그 활성은 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 10주군이 5주군에 비해 활성이 증가하였다. 에탄올 투여로 증가된 GST 활성은 Met결핍에 의해 더욱 가중되었으며 10주군이 5주군에 비해 GST 활성이 유의적으로 증가된 것으로 보아 장기간의 Met 결핍은 에탄을 중독을 심화시킬 것으로 생각된다. Catalase 활성은 에탄을 투여로 유의적인 증가를 나타내었고 Met 결핍군이 정상급여군 및 과량 급여군에 비하여 유의적인 증가를 보였다. GSH함량은 에탄올에 의해 유의적으로 감소되었는데 Met 급여 수준이 증가할수록 에탄올로 인해 감소된 GSH함량이 유의적으로 증가되었으며, 10주군이 5주군에 비해 증가 정도가 현저하였다. 과산화의 지표인 LPO 함량은 에탄을 투여시 증가되었고 Met 결핍군은 정상급여군에 비해 유의적으로 증가되었으며, 특히 Met 과량급여시 5주군에 비해 10주군이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 이 상의 결과에서 Se 결핍시 Met 급여로 인해 에탄올 대사효소의 활성 증가 및 에탄올에 의해 증가된 뇌의 지질과산화를 줄이는 것으로 보아 Met이 생체의 노화를 방지할 수 있을 것으로 생각되며, Se 결핍으로 증가된 지질과산화 반응에 대한 보호와 적응 수단으로써 방어 효소의 활성도가 높아진 것으로 사료된다.

염류장애의 생리적 반응을 검토하고자 강피(Echinochloa hispidula) 종자를 고농도의 NaCl과 KCl 조건하에서 발아시켰다. 발아의 기간과 진전속도를 측정하였으며, 염류스트레스 조건에서의 지질과산화와 폴리아민 생합성양상을 분석하였다. 고농도 염류처리 자체는 비록 발아를 상당히 지연시킬 수는 있지만 발아를 억제하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 지질과산화와 폴리아민 생합성에 견주어볼 때, 강피는 염류에 내성이 것으로 사료되었다. 지질과산화와 putrescine 함량의 증가는 염류처리 후 1일 동안만 지속되었다. 이러한 결과는 초기 putrescine 증가와 지질과산화수소의 생성이 단기간 동안의 염류 내성 기작과 밀접한 관계가 있다고 결론 내릴 수 있는 근거가 되었다.

We have previously demonstrated that the redox reactant pyruvate prevents apoptosis in the oxidant model of bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAEC), and that the anti-apoptotic mechanism of pyruvate is mediated in part via the mitochondrial matrix compartment. However, cytosolic mechanisms for the cytoprotective feature of pyruvate remain to be elucidated. This study investigated the pyruvate protection against endothelial cytotoxicity when the glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) was applied to BPAEC. Millimolar 2DG blocked the cellular glucose uptake in a concentration- and time-dependent manner with >85% inhibition at $\geq$5 mM within 24 h. The addition of 2DG evoked BPAEC cytotoxicity with a substantial increase in lipid peroxidation and a marked decrease in intracellular total glutathione. Exogenous pyruvate partially prevented the 2DG-induced cell damage with increasing viability of BPAEC by 25-30%, and the total glutathione was also modestly increased. In contrast, 10 mM L-lactate, as a cytosolic reductant, had no effect on the cytotoxicity and lipid peroxidation that are evoked by 2DG. These results suggest that 2DG toxicity may be a consequence of the diminished potential of glutathione antioxidant, which was partially restored by exogenous pyruvate but not L-lactate. Therefore, pyruvate qualifies as a cytoprotective agent for strategies that attenuate the metabolic dysfunction of the endothelium, and cellular glucose oxidation is required for the functioning of the cytosolic glutathione/NADPH redox system.

식이 셀레늄(Se)의 수준과 식이지방산의 조성이 조직(혈장,동맥,간)의 지질과산화 상태와 조직의 지방산 조성에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. Sprague Dawley종 수컷쥐들을 식이 Se 수준(0.005mg/kg diet, 0.5mg/kg diet)과 식이 지방산의 주요 급원(옥수수유, 어유)에 따라 4군으로 나누어 8주간 실험하였다. 식이에 함유된 vitamin E의 함량은 117IU정도이다. Se 영양상태의 지표인 glutathione peroxidase 활성도와 Se 수준은 Se이 결핍된 식이를 공급시키면 식이지방 종류에는 상관없이 낮게 나왔다. 어유공급은 간과 동맥의 MDA를 증가시키나 Se을 공급시킨 쥐의 간 MDA수준은 감소되었다. 어유를 공급시키면 혈장 총치질, 동맥 과 간의 인지질에서 20:5(n-3), 22:5(n-3), 22:6(n-3), 20:3(n-6) 수준은 증가하였으며 20:4(n-6)수준은 감소되었다. 비록 Se공급이 n-3 지방산 수준 [22:6(n-3)]을 증가시키나 어유공급 효과에 비하면 그 효과가 적었다. 본 실험결과에 의하면 vitamin E가 현재 권장되는 양보다 충분히 많게 공급되어도 Se이 지질과산화를 방지하는데 중요한 역활을 하고 있으므로 적절한 Se공급이 바람직하다.
