Background: Panax ginseng has a wide range of biological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory functions. Wild ginseng cambial meristematic cells (CMCs) were obtained from P. ginseng cambium. This study examined the protective mechanism of wild ginseng CMCs against $\small{D}$-galactosamine (GalN)-induced liver injury. GalN, a well-known hepatotoxicant, causes severe hepatocellular inflammatory damage and clinical features similar to those of human viral hepatitis in experimental animals. Methods: Hepatotoxicity was induced in rats using GalN (700 mg/kg, i.p.). Wild ginseng CMCs was administered orally once a day for 2 wks, and then 2 h prior to and 6 h after GalN injection. Results: Wild ginseng CMCs attenuated the increase in serum aminotransferase activity that occurs 24 h after GalN injection. Wild ginseng CMCs also attenuated the GalN-induced increase in serum tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, interleukin-6 level, and hepatic cyclooxygenase-2 protein and mRNA expression. Wild ginseng CMCs augmented the increase in serum interleukin -10 and hepatic heme oxygenase-1 protein and mRNA expression that was induced by GalN, inhibited the increase in the nuclear level of nuclear factor-kappa B, and enhanced the increase in NF-E2-related factor 2. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that wild ginseng CMCs protects liver against GalN-induced inflammation by suppressing proinflammatory mediators and enhancing production of anti-inflammatory mediators.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the protective role of high-intensity interval training against acute liver injury induced by D-galactosamine (D-Gal)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS: A total of 30 male BALB/c mice aged 5-week were randomly assigned to high-intensity, interval training group (EX, n=10) or control group in cage (Non-EX, n=20) for 10 weeks. Peritoneal injection of D-Gal (700 mg/kg body weight) and LPS ($10{\mu}g/kg$ body weight) was applied to induce acute liver injury, and liver tissue was harvested 6 hours after the injection. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining was used for liver histology. Real-time PCR was used to quantify expression of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes in the liver. RESULTS: The liver histology showed that D-Gal/LPS treatment resulted in hepatic damage and increased number of neutrophils in conjunction with upregulation of hepatic IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNAs and downregulation of hepatic $PPAR{\alpha}$ and SIRT1 mRNAs. On the other hand, the 10-week interval training resulted in a significant improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness assessed as run time to exhaustion on a treadmill. In addition, the interval training attenuated the D-Gal/LPS-induced liver damage and increased number of neutrophil in conjunction with downregulation of hepatic IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNAs and upregulation of hepatic $PPAR{\alpha}$ and SIRT1 mRNAs. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that high-intensity interval training suppresses the D-Gal and LPS-induced acute liver damage and inflammatory responses.

In present study, we examined whether or not the pretreatment of Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) could protect hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl$_4$) and D-galatosamine (GalN). For this study, we not only tested activity of various plasma enzymes (AST, ALT, SDH, LDH), which are used as indicators of liver disease, but also checked the change of liver components such as lipid, glutathione and cytochromes content, and several liver enzyme activity. Pretreatment of KRG for two weeks significantly reduced the elevated plasma enzyme activities induced by CCl$_4$ and GalN. Pretreatment of KRG also restored the hepatic enzymes, malonedialdehyde formation, and depletion of reduced glutathione content induced by CCl$_4$ and GalN to near normal level. However, ${\gamma}$-glutamylcysteine synthetase activity was lot affected by KRG. These results suggest that KRG shows the hepatoprotective effect by reducing lipid peroxidation, by reducing the activity of free radical generating enzymes, and by preserving the hepatic glutathione.

A new lectin, named TRA, was purified from Trichosanthes kirilowii root by acid-treated Sepharose 6B, Mono-Q, and TSK-gel 3000SW column sequential chromatography. The lectin appeared homogeneous by native gel electrophoresis at pH 4.3 and gave two protein bands of Mr=31 and 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the polypeptides of TRA have not been reported in amino acid sequences of the lectins. TRA lectin formed a precipitate with asialofetuin, neuraminidase-treated fetuin. A sugar inhibition assay indicated that N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, among the monosaccharides tested, was the most potent inhibitor of TRA-induced hemagglutination. Asialofetuin showed a 260-times stronger inhibitory activity than N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. TRA lectin also showed agglutination with normal leukocytes and lymphoma cells, but not with premature hemopoietic cells. These results suggest that TRA is a novel plant lectin.

A formula diet based on pork meat oligopeptides(pork meat protein hydrolysates) was designed for experimental hepatitic rats. The rats were given D-galactosamine for 6 days. During this period, the rats were provided with a 12% casein diet or the formula diet which was low in aromatic amino acids and rich in branched chain amino acids. The formula diet was prepared using pork meat oligopeptides as the principal nitrogen source. The hepatitic rats given the formula diet had lower plasma GOT and GPT concentrations. Additionally, the fischer ratio of the plasma was significantly lower in those rats. However, there was no significant difference in the plasma insulin-like growth factor-I concentration before and after acid-ethanol extraction among groups. These results suggest that the formula diet was better for the animals than the casein diet. Furthermore, these findings suggest that pork meat oligopeptides are an excellent material for preparation of formula diets for patients suffering from hepatitis.

본 연구는 산채류 중 널리 섭취되고 있는 곰취의 활용가치를 높이고 건강기능식품 소재로써의 가능성을 확인고자 DGalN 동물모델을 통해 곰취 열수 추출 발효물의 간 기능 개선 효과를 연구하였다. 실험기간 동안 실험동물의 체중 증가량은 처리군 간 유의적인 차이가 없었으며(P>0.05), 간 무게는 곰취 열수 추출물 투여군에서 유의하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 혈청 중 GGT 분석 결과 곰취 열수 추출물과 발효물 투여군에서 대조군과 비교하여 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 특히 발효물 투여군의 경우 GGT, AST, ALT 및 LDH의 효소 활성이 대조군과 비교하여 40% 이상 감소하였다(P<0.05). 총 콜레스테롤의 함량을 측정한 결과 정상식이군과 비교하여 모든 투여군에서 유의하게 감소하였으며(P<0.05), HDL-콜레스테롤의 경우 발효물 투여군에서 대조군과 비교하여 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.05). LDL-콜레스테롤은 농도 의존적으로 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 중성지방의 함량은 발효물 투여군에서 대조군과 비교하여 유의하게 감소하였으며(P<0.05), 총 콜레스테롤 함량 중 HDL-콜레스테롤 함량의 비율은 발효물 투여군에서 대조군과 비교하여 유의하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났고(P<0.05), 동맥경화지수의 경우 발효물 투여군에서 대조군과 비교하여 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 발효물의 경우 SOD 활성이 유의하게 증가하였으며(P<0.05), 간 조직 내 과산화지질의 분해산물인 MDA 함량은 곰취 열수 추출물 및 발효물 투여군에서 대조군과 비교하여 MDA 함량이 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 간 조직 병리학적 분석 결과 곰취 열수 추출물 및 발효물 투여군에서 대조군과 비교하여 세포사멸사 지수, 문맥엽 염증 지수 등이 개선되는 경향을 보였으나 유의적인 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다(P>0.05). 이상의 결과로 보아 곰취 열수 추출 발효물이 간 기능 효소의 활성 억제, 혈청지질 대사 개선, 간 조직 내 SOD 활성증가 및 과산화지질을 감소시켜 D-GalN으로 인한 간 손상을 완화시키는 데 효과적일 것으로 사료되며, 향후 건강기능 식품 소재로 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Background: Acute hepatic failure is a life-threatening critical condition associated with rapid deterioration of liver function and liver transplantation. Several studies have shown that Panax ginseng Mayer has antidiabetic and hepatoprotective effects. However, the hepatoprotective effect of ginseng berry is still unveiled. In this study, we evaluated the hepatoprotective effects of ultrasonication-processed ginseng berry extract (UGBE) on acute hepatic failure model in rats. Methods: Ginseng berry extract (GBE) was ultrasonically processed. The GBE, silymarin, and UGBE were orally administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats for 4 wk. Twenty-four h after the last administration, rats were challenged with D-galactosamine (D-GalN)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Results: After ultrasonication, the component ratio of ginsenosides Rg2, Rg3, Rh1, Rh4, Rk1, Rk3, and F4 in GBE had been elevated. Administration of UGBE significantly increased the survival rate of D-GalN/LPS-challenged rats. Pretreatment with UGBE significantly decreased serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bilirubin levels in D-GalN/LPS-challenged rats in a dose-dependent manner. The levels of enzymatic markers for oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and glutathione) were increased by UGBE treatment in a dose-dependent manner. Tumor necrosis factor alphalevel, inducible nitric oxide synthase activities, and nitric oxide productions were reduced by UGBE treatment. In addition, hemeoxygenase-1 levels in liver were also significantly increased in the UGBE-treated group. The protein expression of toll-like receptor 4 was decreased by UGBE administration. Hematoxylin and eosin staining results also supported the results of this study showing normal appearance of liver histopathology in the UGBE-treated group. Conclusion: UGBE showed a great hepatoprotective effect on D-GalN/LPS-challenged rats via the toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathway.

발생기 흰쥐 대뇌피질 발생에 따른 복합당질의 발현 양상 및 이에 미치는 EGEE 영향을 구명하기 위해, 태생 14일, 태생 18일, 생후 수유기 및 이유기와 성제 대뇌를 각 부위로 나누어 복합당질의 당잔기 변화 양상을 9종의 biotinylated lectin(DBA, SBA, PNA, BSL-1, sWGA, RCA-1, UEA-1 Con A 및 LCA)으로 관찰하였다. EGEE 투여시 발생기에 따라 대뇌피질층에 공통적으로 나타나는 렉틴은 Con A 와 LCA 이었고, PNA와 RCA-1은 피질 부위에 따라 부분적으로 나타나 대조군에 비해 결합반응을 보인 렉틴의 수가 감소하였고 DBA, SBA, BSL-1, RCA-1 및 UEA-1은 나타나지 않았다. EGEE 투여시 전 시기에 걸쳐 Con A는 대조군과 유사한 반응을, LCA는 대조군에 비해 태생기, 수유기 및 이유기 때에 반응성이 증가되어 나타났다. 태생기 때 SBA와 sWGA에는 반응성이 나타나지 않았고, PNA는 전두엽피질과 후두엽피질에서 감소하였으며, 두정엽피질과 측두엽피질에서는 반응이 없었다. 수유기 때 PNA는 대조군에 비해 반응이 감소되었고, sWGA에는 반응이 없었으며, 이유기 때에는 sWGA와 PNA에 반응이 나타나지 않았다. 그리고, 성체기 때에는 PNA와 sWGA에 반응이 없었고, Con A에 대해 반응이 감소되었으며, LCA는 전두엽피질와 후두엽피질에서 반응이 감소되었다. 위의 결과로 보아, 환경 호르몬인 EGEE가 대뇌피질의 각 부위에 미치는 영향의 차이는 있지만, 대뇌피질 분화와 성장에 조직병리학적으로 심한 영향을 마치고, 특히 수유기에서 제일 심하였고, 대뇌피질의 $galactosyl-({\beta}-1,3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine$, ${\beta}-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine$, ${\beta}-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine$은 감소하고, ${\alpha}-D-mannose$와 ${\alpha}-D-glucose$가 증가하여 이들 당대사에 심한 영향을 미치며, 태생기, 수유기에서 제일 심한 영향을 미쳤다.
