In this study, we investigated a dose-dependent hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects of tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) from grape seeds. After induction of hyperlipidemia for 4 weeks, rats were supplemented with different dose (5, 25, and 50 mg/kg BW/day) of TRF for 1 week. Oral administration of TRF (50 mg/kg BW/day) decreased the plasma triglyceride (TG, 162.6 mg/dL), total cholesterol (TC, 83.7 mg/dL), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C, 20.3 mg/dL), malondialdehyde contents (MDA, 3.3 nmol/dL), and atherogenic index (AI, 2.0) compare to high-fat diet group. These data suggest that TRF supplementation has significant health benefits through the modulation of physiological functions that include various atherogenic lipid profiles and antioxidative status in hyperlipidemia.

Objectives : This study is aimed to compare the changes in Antioxidative capacity of Liriopis Tuber by steaming process and to compare the effects in hyperlipidemia induced rats fed high cholesterol diet between Simvastatin and Liriopis Tuber by steaming process. Methods : The SD rats were divided into six groups: normal diet (Nor), high cholesterol diet (Veh), high cholesterol diet plus Simvastatin 5 mg/kg (Sim), high cholesterol diet plus LT0 extract 200 mg/kg (LT0), high cholesterol diet plus LT6 extract 200 mg/kg (LT6) and high cholesterol diet plus LT9 extract 200 mg/kg (LT9). We compared the total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) contents and reactive oxygen species (ROS) from each serums. Protein expression in liver tissues related to antioxidant and cholesterol was analyzed. Results : The Antioxidant activity of Liriopis Tuber increased by steaming process. In vivo, TC, TG, LDL-c, atherogenic index (AI) and cardiac risk factor (CRF) decreased and HDL-c increased with increasing steaming frequency. aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) decreased with increasing steaming frequency. ROS decreased only in LT9, and SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) increased with increasing steaming frequency. phospho-AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) increased and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP-2), Phospho-Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (p-ACC) and HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) decreased with increasing steaming frequency. Liver staining showed a decrease in hepatic fat accumulation of LT9. LT9 showed significant results in all experiments. Conclusions : LT9 showed significance of anti-lipid effect and improved fatty liver of hyperlipemia induced rats fed on high cholesterol diet, In conclusion, LP9 can be effectively used for the treatment of hyperlipidemia.

Objectives: The objective of the present study was to investigate the lipid and the antioxidant regulatory potential of a multigrain diet in laboratory animals with reference to lipid profiles, tissue lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status. Methods: Two types of diets, with or without addition of cholesterol, were used in the study - a commercial diet and a formulated multigrain diet (with Sorghum vulgare, Avena sativa, Pennisetum typhoideum, Oryza sativa, Eleusine coracana and Zea mays grains). After a 10-week period of feeding the diets to albino rats the plasma, liver and fecal lipid profiles and the hepatic and renal antioxidant status of the animals that were fed the commercial and the formulated diets (with and without cholesterol addition) were assessed. Results: The commercial diet supplemented with cholesterol elevated the levels of plasma total lipids, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), as well as the atherogenic index (AI). The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) content and the antioxidant profiles (total ascorbic acid, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase reduced glutathione) declined along with increases in lipid peroxidation. The formulated diet (with and without addition of cholesterol) was found to be more efficient than the commercial diet in controlling plasma, hepatic and fecal lipid profiles, as well as hepatic and renal lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status, than of the hypercholesteremic animals. Conclusion: The multigrain diet used in the present study is effective in countering the hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress caused by high cholesterol intake.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between inflammatory cytokines and chronic disease status in Korean elderly. The subjects were 248 elderly people aged over 65 years recruited from Health Center in Seoul. The subjects were classified into 3 groups based on their disease (diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia) status: subjects with one diagnosed disease of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia fall into singular group (n=89), subjects with more than 2 disease into multiple group (n=39), and those with free of the diseases into normal (n=122). Anthropometric and biochemical characteristics, and dietary intakes were assessed. Dietary intakes were surveyed by 24-recall method. The means of IL-2, IL-6, MCP-1 and C3 were not differ among 3 groups. However, when subjects classified into tertiles of IL-6, MCP-1, TNF-$\alpha$ and C3 and frequencies of each fertile were compared, the multiple group showed significantly lower frequencies in lowest fertile than normal group (p<0.05), suggesting higher tendency of inflammatory responses. For hematological values, blood pressure, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose levels were highest in multiple group (p<0.05) compared to other 2 groups. BMI, body fat(kg), and triceps skinfold thickness were also significantly higher in multiple group than in 2 other groups(p<0.05). Moreover, the concentrations of IL-2, IL-6 and C3 were significantly correlated with hematologic values of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides or obesity factors such as triceps skinfold thickness, BMI, and body fat(%). Among singular and multiple group, the subjects with higher intakes for vitamins A, C, and E showed the higher level of IL-2 and the lower level of MCP-1, and C3. In conclusion, blood concentrations of triglycerides and proinflammatory cytokines, blood pressure, obesity parameters (BMI, body fat, triceps skinfold thickness) were higher in multiple group than in normal, but this result strongly suggest that the increasement of the vitamin A, C, and E intakes would modify the cytokine levels to reduce the inflammatory response in the elderly people with chronic diseases.

In vitro에서 흑마늘과 쑥 추출분말 및 이들의 비율별 혼합물 3종(MPA, 95:5; MPB, 90:10; MPC, 85:15, w/w%)의 생리활성을 비교하였다. 또한 7 brix 흑마늘 추출물(BE), 0.7 brix 쑥 추출물(ME), 이들을 부피비로 95:5(MA), 90:10(MB) 및 90.25:4.75 혼합물에 사과 추출물과 자일리톨을 각각 2%와 3%를 첨가한 음료(MC)를 흰쥐에게 4주간 급이한 후 24시간 구속스트레스를 부과하여 생체내 지질 성분 변화에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. In vitro에서 흑마늘 추출물과 쑥 추출물의 혼합물(MPA, MPB, MPC)은 쑥 추출물의 첨가량이 증가됨에 따라 DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거활성이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 흑마늘 추출물(RS1), 쑥 추출물(RS2), 혼합물 MA(RS3), MB(RS4) 및 MC(RS5)를 각각 1%씩 흰쥐의 식이에 첨가 급이한 결과 식이섭취량은 RS1군에서 가장 높았으며, 체중 증가량과 식이효율은 실험군 간에 유의차가 없었다. 혈청의 총 콜레스테롤의 함량은 구속 대조군(RSC군)에 비해 모든 실험군에서 유의적으로 낮은 함량이었으며, RS3~RS5군 간에는 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 혈중 중성지질의 함량은 RS3~RS5군이 RS1과 RS2군보다 유의적으로 높은 수준이었다. HDL-C 및 LDL-C 함량, 동맥경 화지수(AI), 심혈관질환 위험지수(CRF)는 RS3~RS5군 간에 유의차가 없었다. AST 및 ALP 활성은 RSC군에 비해 실험군들에서 유의적으로 낮았다. 간 조직의 총 지질과 총 콜레스테롤 함량은 RSC군에 비해 모든 실험군에서 유의적으로 낮았고, 중성지방 함량은 RS1군만이 유의적으로 낮은 함량이었다. 간 글리코겐 함량은 RSC군에 비해 RS2와 RS3군이 유의적으로 높았고, 그 외 실험군에서는 유의차가 적었다. 지질과산화물 함량은 RSC군에 비해 실험군에서 유의적으로 낮았으며, RS3과 RS5군이 유사한 수준이었다. 본 연구결과에서 흑마늘 추출물, 쑥 추출물, 혼합물 및 개발 음료의 급이는 스트레스 부과로 증가될 수 있는 체내 지질 수준의 감소에 효과적이었다. 또한 각 물질의 단독 급이보다 혼합물의 급이시 더 효과적인 것으로 나타나 혼합물을 이용한 개발음료는 현대인의 복잡하고 다양한 스트레스 발생 시 생체대사 조절에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
