무의 껍질과 무청은 식용으로 사용하기도 하지만, 질기고 거친 식감으로 인하여 제거 후 부산물로서 폐기되거나 가축의 사료로 이용되는 실정이다. 본 연구는 초임계 열처리가공 무추출물이 UVB로 유도된 Hos:HRM-2 주름생쥐동물모델에서 항-광노화 주름개선 효능을 검증하고자 하였다. 초임계 열처리된 무 추출물을 7주령의 HRM-2 생쥐에 UVB 램프로 등피부에 조사하여 피부 노화를 유발하여 피부두께, 탄력, 그리고 주름생성 변화에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 초임계 열처리된 무추출물의 UVB 조사에 의한 HRM생쥐의 주름 측정 결과는 정상군에 비해 음성대조군의 주름의 깊이가 증가되는 것을 관측할 수 있었다. 반면 무 추출물의 처리군에서는 음성대조군에 비해 주름의 깊이가 감소되었다. 초임계 열처리된 무추출물의 UVB 조사에 의한 의한 주름관련 유전자 및 단백질의 발현에 미치는 영향에서는 음성대조군은 정상군에 비해 MMP-2 및 MMP-9 유전자의 발현이 현저하게 증가하였으나, 무 추출물의 처리에 의해 상기 유전자의 발현이 유의적으로 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 유전자의 발현 정도는 무 추출물의 처리량에 의존적으로 감소하였다. 실험결과를 종합적으로 해석해 볼 때, 초임계 열처리된 무 추출물은 피부에 도포 시 뿐만 아니라 경구로 섭취시에도 피부 주름 개선에 효과가 있어, 건강기능식품 조성물로도 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 특히 무는 오랫동안 복용 시에도 전혀 부작용을 나타내지 않는 안전한 식품으로 장기간 꾸준히 복용하는 것에 의해 피부 주름 및 탄력 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있다는 결론을 얻을수 있었다.

To clarify the activating effects of Buthus martensi Karsch on immunological function, its effect on primary and secondary antibodies production in mice of various ages was investigated. Buthus martensi Karsch increased the number of both antibody producing cells(anti-IgM and anti-IgG producing plaque forming cells, PFC) and phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophage. Futhermore, these phenomena were significantly increased with aging in mice. Buthus martensi Karsch also increased natural killer cell activity concerning to cancer immunology. These results suggest that Buthus martensi Karsch markedly increases the reduced activity in the elderly and activates the immune response in senescence mice.

본 연구에서는 실새풀(Calamagrostis arundinacea)의 열수 추출물(Ca-HW)과 70% 에탄올에 추출된 추출물(Ca-E70)을 이용한 항노화 및 항염증 활성을 조사하였고, 또한 이들의 생리 활성 능력을 무세포와 세포 기반 시스템으로 조사하였다. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical decolorization 방법으로 항산화 활성 평가를 실시한 결과, Ca-HW와 Ca-E70은 각각 27%와 48%의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능으로 항산화 활성을 나타냈다. 각 추출물에서는 RAW 264.7, B16F10 및 CCD986-sk 세포에서 독성, 세포증식 및 증진 효과는 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 멜라닌 생성과 관련 있는 B16F10 세포주에서 100 mg/ml 농도의 Ca-HW와 Ca-E70 처리구는 abutin 처리구에 비해 멜라닌 생성 억제 효과가 높은 것을 확인하였다. 인간의 섬유아세포인 CCD986-sk를 통한 pro-collagen 생합성에 미치는 Ca-HW와 Ca-E70의 영향을 조사하였더니 각각 24.69%와 12.55%가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. LPS를 처리하여 염증반응을 유도 한 RAW264.7 세포에서 실새풀 추출물의 효과를 조사하였다. Ca-E70은 LPS에 의한 산화질소의 생성과 전염증성 사이토카인인 IL-6의 생성을 억제함으로써 염증 반응에 관여하는 것으로 보인다. 이러한 결과는 실새풀 추출물이 피부와 관련하여 항노화 및 항염증 능력이 있는 것을 제시한다.

Various kinds of positive effects of green tea extracts had been studied for long time which included anti-inflammation, anti-aging, and cardiometabolic effects. Although topical steroid and non-steroidal calcineurin inhibitors may control clinical symptoms of allergic contact dermatitis, some of patients also present allergic reaction to these topical agents. Therefore, we have tried green tea extracts for managing this skin disorder with expectation of anti-inflammatory effect without potential side effects including skin irritation and toxic responses. The toxicity test of green tea extract also did not show any sign of irritation in the skin throughout the test period. Moderate severity of allergic contact dermatitis presented satisfactory clinical outcome at second week follow-up which was final visit of outpatient. This result mean that green tea extract has a positive effect for managing allergic contact dermatitis but its potency and efficacy seem to be so not strong enough to control moderate severity allergy skin lesion. In this pilot study, we were able to conclude that green tea cell extracts might be applied for potential anti-inflammatory soaking without skin toxicity.

The present study was investigated the anti-oxidative effects of aloe vera ingestion on brain and kidney in aged rats by monitoring several oxidative-related parameters. Male specific pathogen-free Fischer 344 rats were randomly divided into four groups of five rat each: Group A was fed test chow without aloe supplementation; Group B was fed a diet containing a 1% freeze-dried aloe filet; Group C was fed a diet containing a 1% charcoal-processed, freeze-dried aloe filet; and Group D was fed a diet containing a charcoal-processed, freeze-dried, whole leaf aloe in drinking water. Analyses of tissues were done at 4 months and 16 months of age. Results showed that a long-term intake of aloe, regardless of the preparation used, enhanced antioxidant defenses against lipid peroxidation, as indicated by reduced phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide levels in both brain and kidney. The additional benefit of aloe intake on the anti-oxidative action was evidenced by enhanced superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in all aloe-ingested groups. Another beneficial effect of aloe shown in this study, although not an anti-oxidative parameter, was its cholesterol-lowering effect as detected in brain and kidney with significant decreases at age16 months of aloe-fed rats. Based on these findings, we conclude that a long-term dietary aloe supplementation modulated the anti-oxidative defense systems and cholesterol level.

Objectives : In order to confirm whether extracts of different parts of Zostera marina (ZM), a marine flowering plant, can be used as cosmetic ingredients, this study evaluated their cytotoxicity and cytoprotective effects against ultraviolet B (UVB). Inflammatory responses induced by UV stimuli are also associated with the aging of the skin.Methods : We investigated the effects of ZM extracts on cells through the water soluble tetrazolium salt-1(WST-1) assay for cell viability. In order to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects, we evaluated the suppression of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression by ZM extracts in HaCaT cells with UVB-induced damages, and also evaluated the production of Prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) in RAW 264.7 cells with LPS-induced damages.Results : High cell viabilities above 90% were observed in all types of ZM extracts, except for whole ZM extract at 0.5 mg/ml; in keratinocytes with UVB-induced damages, the cell viabilities were above 80% when treated with all types of ZM extracts. We confirmed their anti-inflammatory effects by investigating the suppression of inflammatory mediators. In keratinocytes with UVB-induced damages, COX-2 expression decreased in the experimental group treated with ZM extract. Similarly, in RAW 264.7 cells where inflammation was induced with LPS, the biosynthesis of PGE₂ was inhibited.Conclusion : These results suggest that ethanol extracts from Zostera marina may have value as the potential anti-inflammatory medicinal plant. Also based on the abovementioned results, ZM extract protects skin cells from UV-induced damages, and thus can be used in topically applied products for skin protection.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb et Zucc) needle extract (PNE) on membrane fluidity and oxidative stress in liver membranes of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats as a study on investigation of anti-aging effect and determination of chemical structures of PNE through the animal experiments. Male SD rats were fed basic diets (control group) and experimental diets (0.5% and 1.0%-PNE group) for 6 weeks. Administrations of 0.5% and 1.0%-PNE resulted in a marked decreases (15∼25% and 23∼26%, respectively) in cholesterol accumulations of liver mitochondria and microsomes compared with control group. Membrane fluidities were significantly increased (15∼25%) in liver microsomes of 0.5% and 1.0%-PNE groups compared with control group. Formations of basal and induced oxygen radicals (BOR and IOR) in liver mitochondria were significantly inhibited (11∼12% and 10∼15%, respectively) by administrations of 0.5% and 1.0%-PNE compared with control group. Lipid peroxide (LPO) levels were remarkbly decreased about 20% in liver mitochondria and microsomes of 0.5% and 1.0%-PNE groups compared with control group. Oxidized protein levels calculated with carbonyl group were significantly decreased about 15% in liver mitochondria of 1.0%-PNE group compared with control group. These results suggest that PNE may play a effective role in a attenuating a oxidative stress and increasing a membrane fluidity.

These studies were designed to investigate the effects of pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb et Zucc.) needle extract (PNE) on oxygen radicals and their scavenger enzymes in liver membranes of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats as a study on investigation of anti-aging effect and determination of chemical structures of PNE through the animal experiments. Male SD rats were fed basic diets (control group) and experimental diets (0.5% and 1.0%-PNE group) for 6 weeks. There were no significant differences in hydroxyl radical (·OH) formations of liver mitochondria and microsomes in 0.5%-PNE group, while ·OH formations were significantly decreased (10% and 18%, respectively) in liver mitochondria and microsomes of 1.0%-PNE group compared with control group. Microsomal hydrogen peroxides and cytosolic superoxide radicals were remarkably decreased (20% and 20∼25%, respectively) in 0.5% and 1.0%-PNE groups compared with control group. Mn-SOD activities in mitochondria were significantly increased about 10% in 1.0%-PNE group, while Mn-SOD activities in mocrosomes were remarkably increased (16∼20%) in 0.5% and 1.0%-PNE groups compared with control group. There were no significant differences in Cu, Zn-SOD activities of liver cytosol in 0.5% and 1.0%-PNE groups, while glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and catalase (CAT) activities were significantly decreased (28∼30% and 15∼30%, respectively) in liver cytosols of 0.5% and 1.0%-PNE groups compared with control group. These results suggest that these PNE may play a effective role in a attenuating a oxygen radical formations and increasing a scavenger enzyme activities.
