The purpose of this study was to investigate the improvement effect of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus L.) on the hepatic functional enzyme and catalase activity of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats were divided into four groups (n=6), and fed experimental diets containing mung bean meal [basal diet+5% mung bean (BM), basal diet+STZ+5% mung bean (SM)], and control (Basal Diet, BD), BS groups (basal diet+STZ). Serum concentrations of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine were significantly decreased (p<0.05) by 5% mung bean supplementation diet. The activities of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), akaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), amylase and lipase were decreased in the BD, BM and SM group than BS group. The catalase (CAT) activity was significantly increased (p<0.05) in mung bean supplementation diet (BM, SM group) than diabetic group (BS). In vivo experiments with diabetic rats showed that ingestion of mung bean supplementation diet were effective in BUN concentration, and hepatic functional enzyme activities.

Unlike Europe (particularly, Italy and Spain), where a number of studies have been conducted on the stressful effects of transport on rabbit welfare, few studies have been conducted on transportation of rabbits under hot, humid tropical conditions experienced in countries like Malaysia. We studied the effects of transportation in hot humid tropical conditions of Malaysia on physiometabolic changes in New Zealand white rabbits. Eighty experimental animals were divided into two groups of 40 bucks each and transported for either 3 or 1 h. Transportation caused a significant upsurge of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and creatine kinase activities (p<0.001) though did not significantly affect lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity (p = 0.0706). Both transportation periods caused elevation in plasma glucose levels, lactic acidosis and dehydration as evidenced through elevated packed cell volume and plasma protein concentration. It was concluded that regardless of the duration, transport of rabbits under hot humid tropical conditions, resulted in heat distress since the rabbits showed hyperglycemia, hypercalcemia, lactacidemia, lymphocytopenia, dehydration and increase in blood enzyme activities.

This study evaluated the hazard caused by $NO_{2}$, an oxidant generated in the process of welding. We com­pared hematological and biochemical parameters in workers who chronically inhale $NO_{2}$ and office workers not exposed to $NO_{2}$. $NO_{2}$ exposure affected the hematological and biochemical parameters. Increasing $NO_{2}$ concen­trationincreased the number of leukocytes, while decreasing the number of erythrocytes. Blood urea nitrogen, cre­atinine, uric acid, and lactate dehydrogenase were increased, while total protein and triglycerides were decreased. The mean concentration of $NO_{x}(NO_{2}^{-}/NO_{3}^{-})$ in the serum of welders and the control group was $35.97{\pm}2.85\;and\;55.40{\pm}5.81\;{\mu}mol/L,$ respectively. The difference was significant (p < 0.05), although $NO_{2}^{-}$ was not detected in the serum.

Objective : Diabetic gastroparesis is a complication that is defined as delayed gastric emptying and upper gastrointestinal symptoms and often occurs in long-standing diabetic patients. Bojungikgi-tang (BJT) is a traditional oriental herbal formula that has long been used for the treatment of digestive disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of BJT on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic gastroparesis rat model. Methods : Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats (250-270g) were divided into 13 groups including normal group, STZ-induced diabetic control group, BJT diet (7 various concentrations), and insulin-, glibenclamide-, metformin-treated group were used for the experiments for the comparison. Diabetic gastroparesis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ. The water intake, food intake, body weights and fasting blood glucose levels were measured. After 4 weeks the animals were sacrificed and gastrin, leptin, insulin, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), lactate, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), bilirubin, creatinine, albumin and lipid levels were evaluated. Results : Intraperitoneal injection of BJT for 4 weeks resulted in increased levels of gastrin in blood and decreased leptin and lactate concentration in STZ-induced diabetic gastroparesis rat model. BJT did not affect insulin, fasting glucose, HbA1c, and lipid levels in STZ-induced diabetic gastroparesis rat model. Conclusion : These results indicated that BJT would have protect effect on diabetic gastroparesis through the improvement effect of gastric motility and fatigue syndrome in STZ-induced diabetic rats. This study shows that BJT might be effective for treatment of diabetes and its complications such as gastroparesis.

Streptozotocin(STZ 55 mg/kg BW., I.P. injection)으로 유발된 당뇨성 Sprague Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐에 있어서, 삼백초 생리활성물질 추출액(3.5 g% extract)의 섭취에 의한 혈당, 전해질, 혈청 지질개선효과 및 당질대사 이상 등에 관여하는 효소의 활성 변동을 생리생화학적 측면에서 검토하기 위하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. 기본식이만을 급여한 대조군인 Normal군을 비롯한 STZ 당뇨 유발군(NSW군), 당뇨 유발에 삼백초 잎 추출액을 섭취시킨 군(NSSL군) 및 당뇨 유발에 삼백초 뿌리 추출액을 섭취시킨 군(NSSR군)을 5주간 실험 사육하였다. 혈당 농도는 당뇨 유발군에 삼백초 추출액을 급여하므로서 유의적으로 저하됨을 관찰할 수가 있었다. 또한 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, 동맥경화지수, LDL, LDL- 콜레스테롤, 유리 콜레스테롤, 콜레스테롤 에스테르 비, 중성지방 및 인지질 농도 등은 삼백초 추출액을 섭취시킨 군(NSSL군, NSSR군)에서 농도가 유의성 있게 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, HDL-콜레스테롤 및 총 콜레스테롤에 대한 HDL-콜레스테롤 비 등은 삼백초 추출액 섭취(NSSL군, NSSR군)에 의해서 유의성 있게 증가 되는 것으로 나타났다. 혈청 중의 전해질(Na, K, Cl) 및 creatinine 농도는 STZ으로 당뇨 유발군에 삼백초 추출액을 섭취시킴으로서 유의성 있는 농도 저하 효과를 보였다. 또한, 혈청 중 aminotransferase(AST, ALT), creatine phosphokinase(CPK), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) 및 alkaline phosphatase(ALP)의 활성은 STZ으로 당뇨 유발 시킨 후 삼백초 추출액을 섭취시킴으로서 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 삼백초 잎(NSSL군)과 뿌리(NSSR군) 추출액 섭취에 따른 혈당, 각 종 지질 성분 및 효소 활성치의 두 군 간의 비교는 삼백초 잎이 뿌리 추출액에 비하여 다소 효과적인 차이를 보였으나 유의성 있는 변화는 보이지 않았다. 이상과 같은 결과들을 미루어 볼 때, 삼백초 중의 생리활성물질이 STZ으로 유발된 당뇨성 흰쥐의 혈당 조절 기능이상 및 혈청 지질대사 이상 등에서 오는 각종 질환의 예방 및 개선 작용에 효과가 있을 것으로 생각된다.
