프로바이오틱 생균인 B. polyfermenticus SCD의 유용성을 확인하기 위해 항산화 및 콜레스테롤 저하 효과를 검증하였다. DPPH법에 의한 항산화 활성은 48% 정도였으며, TCA법에 의한 활성은 45%로 측정되었다. 그리고 TBARS 법에 의해 측정된 활성은 stimulator가 존재할 때 60%에 달하였으며, SOD 유사활성은 15% 정도였다. 이러한 활성은 기존의 항산화제인 BHT나 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 1% 용액과 비교할 때, 비슷하거나 약간 낮은 수치를 보여 준다. 향후 항산화 물질이 정제되어 이 물질의 1% 용액과 1% 농도의 기존 항산화제의 활성을 비교하여야 한다. 그러나 이 같은 뚜렷한 B. polyfermenticus SCD의 항산화력을 바탕으로 천연 항산화제 개발이 가능하다고 판단된다. 한편 B. polyfermenticus SCD의 콜레스테롤 저하 효과는 0.3% oxgall이 존재할 때, 64% 정도였다. 이 수치는 oxgall이 존재하지 않을 때 수치(67%)와 비교할 때, 큰 변화가 없었다. 그리고 콜레스테롤 저하 기작은 세포내 흡착에 의한 것으로 판단되었다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the biological activities of fermented mugworts and their effects on the lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemia-induced rats. The proximate compositions of two kinds of mugwort, Artemisia capillaris Thumberg and Artemisiae asiaticae Nakai, were compared before and after fermentation. In both types of mugwort crude protein and amino nitrogen contents markedly increased with fermentation. Thrombolytic activity determined from the size of the clear zone on a fibrin plate was higher for the Artemisiae asiaticae Nakai, especially in the fermented sample. Antioxidative activity according to DPPH(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging effects was higher for Artemisia capillaris Thumberg but no significant differences were found between the samples after fermentation. The body weights of hyperlipidemia-induced rats that were fed the mugworts for 4 weeks were lower than those of the control group. In all the mugwort-fed rats serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels remarkably decreased. Furthermore the fermented mugworts were found to be more effective at decreasing triglyceride (TG) levels. It is also noteworthy that the highest HDL-cholesterol levels were observed in the rats treated with the fermented Artemisiae asiaticae Nakai. And fatty liver weights were higher in the rats fed Artemisia capillaris Thumberg. In conclusion the feeding of fermented Artemisiae asiaticae Nakai was effective for increasing thrombolytic activity and HDL-cholesterol levels as well as reducing TG levels in rats.

Atherosclerosis, a multifactorial disease, is closely related to lipid nutrition , Data from well known epidemiological studies including Seven Country , Framinghsam Study and several intervention trials have confirmed that serum cholesterol is the major risk factor and elevation of LDL-cholesterol level is most undesriable. On the basis of results concurring in that dietary saturated fat and cholesterol increase serum cholesterol while polyunsaturated fat decrease it, changes in serum choesterol level have been predicted by regression equations developed by Keys et al. and other investigators. Effects of individual fatty acids on the level of serum cholesterol have been further differentiated by chain length, cis-trans isomers and n-6 vs n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Among them the effect of n-3 fatty acids has been well recogniaed as antiplatelet activity, thus reducing the incidence of atherosclerosis. Role of vitamin E in prevention of atherosclerosis has been evovled from works showing that LDL oxdiation stimulates formation of ateroma and also from epidemiologic studies. Dietary recommendations at present are : (ⅰ) 30 and 10 cal % as upper limit of total and saturated fat intakes, respectively (ⅱ) no more than 300 mg cholesterol/day, (ⅲ) 1-2 g of n-3 fatty acid/day and (ⅳ) some increase RDA of vitamin E which is 8-10 TE.

The purpose of this study was to confirm that calcium intake and healthy status play a role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, to assure that calcium intake and regular exercise are important in reducing serum lipid levels in middle-aged women. Daily nutrient intakes were analyzed by convenient method. Anthropometric measurement such as body weight and height and blood pressure were measured. The subjects divided into two groups : women in group I under 50 years of age($\leq$49 yr group) and those in group II 50 years up($\geq$50 yr group). Average ages of group I and II were 43.87 and 53.46 years. The nutrients intake of subjects were higher than Korean recommended dietary allowances(KRDA) except calorie, iron, calcium, vitamin B1. They showed significant difference each other in vitamin B2(p<0.05), calcium(p<0.01) intake. Mean daily calcium intake was 540.88mg in $\leq$49 yr group and 519.50mg in $\geq$50 yr group. The levels of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, blood pressure, Atherogenic Index(AI), LDL/HDL and Cardiac Index(CI) were increased with age. The triglyceride and total cholesterol concentrations and LDL/HDL in $\geq$50 yr group were significantly higher than those of $\leq$49 yr group. There was a highly significantly positive correlation between age and triglyceride, total cholesterol and Atherogenic Index(AI). Triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol concentration and Atherogenic Index(AI) were positively correlated with body weight and WHR(waist-hip ratio). Also ther was a significantly negative correlation between exercise and Cardiac Index(CI). Also a significantly negative correlation was found between Ca intake and LDL-cholesterol. Exercise and Cardiac Index(CI) also had a significantly negative relation. The results suggest that increased habitual physical activity and calcium intake should be recommended as a way of decreasing blood lipids and blood pressure in middle-aged women.

This study has done to investigate the relationship between the icreased lipid oncentration caused by smoking and plama levels of vitamin A and vitamin E, antiodative enzyme activity, and lipid peroxidation , in 52 male smokers and 32 non-smokers, Dietary vitamin A and vitamin E intake was imilar in both smokers and non-smokers. Absolute plasma concentrations of vitamin A and vitamin E were not significantly different between two groups, whereas vitamin E/cholesterol ration in plasma was low or in smokers than in that of non-smokers(p<0.05). It was considered that this lowered effect was due to the elevated plasma lipid concentration rather than oxidant stress derived from smoking, in view of the fact that smokers had higher cholesterol (15.2%) adn LDL-C(26.6%) levels than non-smokers. In non-smokers, plasma thiobarbiturin acid reactive substances(TBARS) conrrelated positively with total cholesterol(r=0.63466, p<0.001), LDL-C level(r=0.57166, p<0.01) , and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio(r=0.45926, p<0.05) . Activities of glutathione perosidase(GSH-Px) , superoside dismutase(SOD), and catalse made no difference in both groups. However, it was observed in non-smokers that GSH-Px activity had negative correlations with total cholesterol(r=-0.67293, p<0.001), LDL-C level(r=-0.62878, p<0.001), and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio (r=-0.58824, p<0.01), indicating that there was a dependent relationship between lipid perosidation and plasma lipid level. The smokers also showed negative correlations for GSH-Px activity with total cholesterol (r=-0.29946, p<0.05) and LDL-c level (r=0.45914, p<0.001), and LDL-C/HDL-c ratio(r=-0.35438, p<0.05). It seemed that the lipid that the lipid level elevated by sustaines smoking resulted in reducing vitamin E/cholesterol ratio and proportion of antioxidant to oxidant load, and then GSH-Px activity, with insufficient removal of free radicals(TBARS 2.43$\pm$0.51 and 1.81$\pm$0.15nmol/ml in smokers and non-smokers, respectively). These findings suggest that higher plasma lipid levels may play a more important role in perturbing the antioxidant defense system including vitamin E status and GSH-Px activity, at least in circumstances that increase lipid concentration . In addition, in exposure to free radicals like those in cigarette smoke. In those cases the ratio of vitamin E/lipid in plasma can be a more indicator of vitamin E status than plasma levels of vitamin E alone.

The effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers esterified in diacylglycerol (DAG)-rich oil on lipid metabolism was investigated. Since dietary DAG has been known to induce the regression of atherosclerosis, CLA-DAG and olive-DAG oils containing similar levels of DAG (51.4~54.2%) were synthesized from olive oil. Hyperlipidemic C57BL/6J mice were then fed high-fat high-cholesterol diets supplemented with these oils (5% each) for 7 wk. The CLA-DAG diet containing 2.1% CLA isomers (0.78% c9,t11-CLA; 1.18% t10,c12-CLA) remarkably increased the levels of total plasma cholesterol and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) along with hepatic cholesterol and triacylglycerol (TAG) contents. Furthermore, the CLA-DAG diet inhibited fat uptake into adipose tissue whereas fat deposition (especially in the liver) was increased, resulting in the development of fatty livers. Hepatic fatty acid composition in the CLA-DAG mice was different from that of the olive-DAG mice, showing higher ratios of C16:1/C16:0 and C18:1/C18:0 in the liver. The activity of hepatic acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) was higher in CLA-DAG mice while plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity and the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) were lower in CLA-DAG mice compared to the olive-DAG animals. Results of the present study suggest that CLA incorporation into DAG oil could induce atherosclerosis in mice.

The present study was carried out to investigate the antiobesity and hypocholesterolemic effects of Bifidobacteria animalis DY-64 (B. animalis DY-64), a lactic acid bacterium isolated from the human intestine, in rats fed a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet for 4 weeks. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups and fed either a normal (N) or high-fat/high-cholesterol (HFC) diet without or with oral administration of B. animalis DY-64 (N-BA, HFC-BA). The gain in body weight, and liver and adipose tissue weights of the HFC group were heavier than that of the HFC-BA group. Serum total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol, and leptin levels of the HFC group, which were significantly elevated compared to those of the N group, dropped by 19, 18, 21, and 13% in the HFC-BA group, respectively, whereas the serum HDL-cholesterol level markedly increased. However, serum TG, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and leptin levels were not significantly different among the N groups (N, N-BA) with or without B. animalis DY-64 administration. TC and TG levels of the liver as well as the TG level of the adipose tissue were significantly reduced in the HFC-BA group. In addition, HR-LPL activity in adipose tissue was also lower in the HFC-BA group than in the HFC group. These results suggest that B. animalis DY-64 isolated from the human intestine exerts hypocholesterolemic effects by reducing serum and liver cholesterol levels and plays a role in the prevention of obesity induced by HFC diet.

Aspergillus oryzae로 발효시킨 이고들빼기의 에탄올 추출물이 알코올성 간독성을 유발한 SD계 흰쥐에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험군은 정상대조군(NC), 에탄올대조군(EC), 에탄올급여 및 비발효 이고들빼기 추출물 0.5% 첨가식이 급여군(ENY), 에탄올급여 및 발효 이고들빼기 추출물 0.5% 첨가식이 급여군(EFY)의 4개군(6마리/군)으로 나누어 4주간 사육하였으며, 혈청과 간 조직의 주요 지표 성분과 항산화 및 산화관련 효소활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, EC군이 NC군에 비하여 혈중 GOT 및 GPT 활성은 각각 87.90% 및 57.02%가 높았다. 간 조직의 중성지질과 총콜레스테롤 함량은 각각 77.51% 및 18.56%, LPO 함량은 193.86%가 높았다. 반면에 GSH 함량은 29.52% 낮았다. 또, 항산화계 효소인 SOD 및 GST 활성은 각각 42.78% 및 0.94% 낮게 나타났으며, XO(O type)효소활성은 70.83% 높았다. 이로써 알코올 급여군은 전형적인 간 손상과 함께 항산화계에도 손상이 있음을 나타내었다. ENY 및 EFY군은 EC군과 비교하여 GOT 및 GPT 활성은 각각 24.73~41.99% 및 22.91~30.11%가 낮았고, 중성지질 함량은 16.65~33.33%, 총콜레스테롤 함량은 22.44~23.11%, LPO 함량은 63.34~66.13%가 감소한 반면, GSH 함량은 24.61~35.60% 증가하였다. 또, GST 활성은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, SOD 활성은 각각 214.94% 및 261.19% 높았다. 또, XO(O type) 효소활성은 40.34~51.20% 감소하였다. EFY군은 ENY군에 비하여 GOT 및 GPT활성은 각각 22.93%, 9.34% 낮았고, 혈중 중성지질과 총콜레스테롤 및 LPO 함량은 각각 20.01%, 0.86% 및 7.59%가 낮았다. 그리고 SOD 및 GST활성은 각각 21.52% 및 0.6%가 높았고, XO(O type) 효소의 활성은 18.19% 낮았다. 이상의 결과, 발효 이고들빼기 추출물이 알코올로 유도된 간 손상 흰쥐에 대하여 간 조직 TG와 총콜레스테롤 및 LPO의 함량을 감소시키고, GOT, GPT 및 XO의 활성감소와 동시에 SOD활성을 높임으로써 간의 해독효과가 큰 것으로 판단되며, 이러한 결과는 향후 발효 이고들빼기의 성분들을 이용한 기능성식품의 개발과 이를 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
