This study was performed to investigate the cytoprotective effects of Stachys riederi var. japonica ethanol extract (SREE) to control oxidative stress induced by UVA-irradiation by examining antioxidant capacity and gene expression of cytochrome c using human dermal fibroblasts. The total polyphenolics and flavonoids in the SREE were 41.2 and 25.4 mg/g, respectively. At concentrations of 500 and $1000{\mu}g/mL$, the electron-donating ability of SREE was 48.6% and 82.0%, respectively, and the 2,2'-azino-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity was 62.3% and 78.8%, respectively. These findings showed that SREE has a fairly good antioxidant capacity. As determined by an MTT assay, the maximum permissible level for treating SREE to human dermal fibroblasts was shown to be over $200{\mu}g/mL$. SREE ($200{\mu}g/mL$) significantly decreased cytochrome c mRNA and protein expression by 31.1% (p<0.001) and 38.8% (p<0.01), respectively. These findings suggest that SREE may protect human skin cells against mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis. Therefore, SREE seems to be a natural antioxidant to protect cells against oxidative stress induced by UVA-irradiation.

This study was performed to investigate effects of dried leaf powders, water, 75% and 95% ethanol extracts of persimmon leaf and green tea on lipid metabolism, lipid peroxidation and antioxidative enzyme activity in 12-month-old rats. Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 542$\pm$4.5g were blocked into groups according to their body weight and were raised for four weeks with the diets containing 5%(w/w) dried leaf powders of persimmon(Diospyros kaki Thunb) and green tea(Camellia Sinensis O. Ktze), water or 75% and 95% ethanol extracts from same amount of each dried tea powder. Food intake was not significantly different among all groups, but weight gain of green tea powder group was significantly lower than that of control group. Plasma and liver lipid levels of all the tea diet groups were lower than those of control group. Especially, 75% ethanol extract of persimmon leaf decreased total lipid and triglyceride concentrations in plasma and 95% ethanol extract of persimmon leaf decreased liver total lipid level. However, there was no difference between 75% ethanol extracts groups and 95% ethanol extracts groups in lipid metabolism. Superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase activities in erythrocyte were remarkably increased by all the green tea diets. SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities in liver were increased by the feeding of ethanol extracts from green tea and persimmon leaf powder. Liver xanthine oxidase activity was not different among all groups. Plasma Thiobarbirutic acid reactive substance(TBARS) concentrations of all the green tea diet groups were significantly low. It was thought that high flavonoids in green tea inhibited plasma lipid peroxidation by promoting SOD, catalase activities in erythrocyte. 95% ethanol extract of persimmon leaf also inhibited plasma lipid peroxidation by high vitamin E and beta-carotene. Persimmon leaf powder decreased liver TBARS concentration by vitamin E, betacarotene and vitamin C and by increasing activities of antioxidative enzymes with flavonoids. In conclusion, dried leaf powders, water, 75% and 95% ethanol extracts of persimmon leaf and green tea were effective in lowering lipid levels and inhibiting lipid peroxidation in 12-month-old rats. Above all, ethanol extracts of persimmon leaf decreased plasma and liver lipid levels and persimmon leaf powder effectively inhibited liver lipid peroxidation. Extracts of green tea leaf inhibited plasma lipid peroxidation. In lowering lipid levels and inhibiting lipid peroxidation, ethanol extracts were more effective than water extracts, but there was no difference between 75% ethanol extracts and 95% ethanol extracts in lipid metabolism.

본 연구는 현재 버려지고 있는 장미(Rosa hybrida L. cv. Mary Devor)를 이용하여 기능성을 조사한 뒤 그 이용 가능성에 대해 탐색하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 장미의 일반성분, 식이섬유 및 총 flavonoids 함량을 분석하고 총산화 효과와 추출수율을 측정하였다. 또한 에탄올의 농도(0, 75, 85, 95%)를 달리하여 추출하고 추출물의 첨가농도(0.02, 0.05%)와 저장기간에 따라 과산화물가, 산가, TBA가를 측정하였다. 과산화물가를 측정하여 산화유도기간을 살펴본 결과, 장미 추출물 첨가군이 대조군이나 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, BHT 첨가군보다 유도기간이 길게 나타나 항산화 효과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 85% 에탄올 추출물을 0.05%의 농도로 첨가했을 때 가장 긴 유도기간을 나타냈다. 산가 및 TBA가는 장미 추출물 및 BHT 첨가군이 대조군 및 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 첨가군보다 저장기간이 길어짐에 따라 낮게 나타났다. 즉, 장미 추출물은 BHT와 유사한 높은 항산화 효과를 나타내어 천연항산화제로서의 이용 가능성을 보여주었다. 시험균주(Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus)에 대해 장미 추출물은 대체로 높은 항균활성을 나타내었으며, 특히 85% 에탄올 추출물은 E. coli에 대해 유의적으로 높은 항균효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 장미 추출물을 천연항산화제 및 항균제로 사용할 수 있으며 버려지는 장미를 이용한다는 면에서 경제적 효율성도 기대할 수 있다. 장미추출물의 항산화성과 항균성이 확인되어 그 이용성이 기대됨에 따라 추출물의 유효성분을 확인하는 연구가 필요하다.

A study was undertaken to examine the effect of the addition of coriander leaves(Coriandrum satovim L.) and brocolli stem powder addition on the quality attributes of pound cakes. Coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder was added to the batter, at a ratio of 10, 12.5 and 15%, respectively. The antioxidant activity was estimated by a DPPH free radical scavening activity, the total phenolic compounds content and flavonoid content in coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder and pounds cakes. Antioxidative activity had correlated highly with the total flavonoids contents of coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder of pound cakes, respectively(r=0.9096). The quality characteristics of coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder pound cakes were estimated in terms of the specific load volume, hardness, hunter value of crumb and crust, and the sensory quality of the cakes. The specific volume decreased significantly, with increasingly substituted level of coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder(p<0.01). The lightness was significantly decreased with increases in the coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder of pound cake crust and crumb(p<0.01). The hardness, chewiness and gumminess tended to reduce, and the cohesiveness decrease in both of powder. The consumer acceptability score for 10% coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder of pound cakes ranked significantly(p<0.01) higher than those of the other groups in taste, flavor and color. These results showed that coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder are good ingredients to increase the consumer acceptability and the health.

All the parts of the Cedrela sinensis A. Juss., including the seeds, roots, and leaves, have been known to exert medicinal effects. The C. sinensis and its major compound, quercetin, were previously reported to exhibit the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. However, the hepatoprotective effects of the C. sinensis leaves against the alcohol-induced oxidative stress in the HepG2 cells have not been studied. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant activities and analyzed the flavonoid contents of the C. sinensis-leaf extract (CE). The total flavonoid contents of the CE is 1,874.5 mg/100 g dry weight (DW), while the total quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside (quercitrin) contents, which was identified as the major flavonol in the CE, is 1,456.0 mg/100 g DW. In the ethanol-stimulated HepG2 cells, the CE effectively prevented the cytotoxic effect and increased the gene expression of the antioxidant enzymes, such as the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the glutathion peroxide (GPx). The level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was significantly decreased in the CE-treated HepG2 cells. In conclusion, the C. sinensis extract suppressed the alcohol-induced oxidative stress in the HepG2 cells via the induced GPx and HO-1 gene expressions. It is expected the CE positive effects will likely be attributed to the flavonoids, like the quercetin, within the CE.

Oxidative stress has been implicated in cutaneous damage in various inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis. The present study was undertaken to investigate the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of the extract of Duchesnea chrysantha (DCE). DEC was prepared by extracting with 80% ethanol. Total flavonoids and polyphenols were measured by a colorimetric assay. The free radical scavenging activity of the extract was analyzed by the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl), ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and Griess reagent assay. An oxidative product of nitric oxide (NO), was measured in the culture medium by the Griess reaction. The level of prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were measured by Western blot analysis. Total flavonoid and polyphenol contents of DCE were included $24.73{\pm}0.45$ and $178.77{\pm}2.65$, respectively. DCE significantly increased electron donating ability (DPPH), nitrite scavenging (NO) and ABTS reducing activity in dose dependant. We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of DCE on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. DCE significantly suppressed NO and prdstaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) in dose dependant. Furthermore, the levels of iNOS and COX-2 protein expressions were markedly suppressed by the treatment with DCE in a dose dependent manner. These results suggest that DEC may has value as natural product with its high quality functional components, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities.

This study was investigated the contents of total polyphenol, flavonoids and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Codonopsis lanceolata extracts according to different steaming times. The contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid proportionally increased from 6.45 mgGAE/g to 18.26 mgGAE/g and 2.01 mgRE/g to 6.12 mgRE/g according to ethanol extracts at EDS7. DPPH radical scavenging activity was found to have been 15.26~65.2% and showed the highest level of antioxidant activity at EDS7 was 65.2%. The activity of ABTS radical scavenging and SOD-like activity were also the same result. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity was related to the number of steaming, and the scavenging activity was increased up to 7 times of steaming. The antimicrobial activity of EDS7 had strong antioxidant activity. Antimicrobial activities were examined against 5 microorganisms related to pathogens and food poisoning. The antimicrobial Activity was different depending on the bacteria, but it was effective at the concentration of 300 mg/mL rather than 150 mg/mL. These results showed that Codonopsis lanceolata extracts with a different number of steaming would be conducted to confirm the possibility of developing antimicrobial and antioxidant. It will be helpful in the study of component analysis of Codonopsis lanceolata extracts processed products.
