본 연구에서는 방사선 손상 경감효과를 나타내는 기호식품을 발굴하고자 국내에서 주로 음용되고 있는 녹차의 방사선 손상 경감효과를 확인하기 위하여 고선량 및 저선량 방사선을 마우스에 조사하고 소장움 생존, 내재성 비장 조혈세포집락 형성 및 apoptosis 유발 등을 관찰하였으며, 그 효과를 방사선 방호효과가 알려져 있는 diethyldithiocarbamate(DDC)와 비교$.$관찰하였다. 생존 소장움의 수는 방사선 조사 전 녹차 투여군(경구투여군 : p<0.01, 복강내 투여군 : p<0.01) 및 DDC 투여군(p<0.005)에서 유의성있게 증가되었다. 내재성 조혈세포집락 형성은 방사선 조사 대 조군에 비하여 조사 전 복강내 투여한 군(p<0.05)에서만 유의성 있는 증가를 나타냈으며, DDC 투여군에서는 효과를 관찰할 수 없었다. 방사선에 의한 apoptotic cell의 형성은 방사선 조사 전 녹차 투여군(경구 투여군 : p<0.005, 복강내 투여군 : p<0.05)및 DDC투여군 (p<0.005)에서 통계적으로 유의성 있게 감소되었다. 이상의 결과에서 녹차의 방사선 손상 경감효과를 조혈세포의 생존과 회복, 소장움 세포 생존 및 방사선에 의한 apoptosis 유발억제를 통하여 확인하였으며, 이는 독성이 적은 천연물이라는 관점에서 방사선 손상 경감 음료로서 적용이 가능할 것으로 사료되며 추후 유효 분획 및 성분에 관한 연구가 요구된다.

본 연구는 tannase를 이용하여 녹차의 생물학적 전환에 대한 최적 추출 조건을 확립하고 최적 추출 조건으로 마련된 녹차 추출물에 대해 라디칼 소거능 검증을 통해 항산화력의 향상 정도를 평가하고자 하였다. 그 결과 tannase의 반응은 0.5시간 내에 대부분 이루어지며 처리 1시간까지도 일부 작용이 이루어져 최적 추출물을 획득하기 위한 tannase의 반응 시간을 1시간으로 결정하였다. 기질 농도 1% 이상의 경우에서는 EC 및 EGC 전환율이 오히려 낮아져 tannase 작용을 위한 기질 농도는 1%가 적당한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 tannase 농도가 증가함에 따라 EC, EGC 및 gallic acid는 증가되었으며 일정 농도(30 U/mL)에서 급격한 증가를 나타내었고, 이 농도부터는 통계적으로 EC와 EGC 전환율이 증가하지 않는 것으로 보아 tannase의 적정 반응 농도는 30 U/mL으로 판단되었다. 위의 조건으로 마련된 최적의 tannase 처리 녹차 추출물의 라디칼 소거능은 tannase 처리 전 녹차 추출물에 비해 ABTS와 DPPH 라디칼에 있어 모두 유의하게 소거능이 증가되는 것으로 나타나 tannase 처리 최적 추출 조건에 의해 녹차의 항산화력이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

Despite considerable efforts, cancer remains an aggressive killer worldwide. Chemotherapeutic drugs that are currently in use lead to destructive side effects and have not succeeded in fulfilling expectations. For centuries, medicinal plants are used for treating various diseases and are also known to have anticancer activity. The main aim of this research was to evaluate antiproliferative activity of saffron, clove, fenugreek, and green tea on Vero and MDA-MB-231 cell lines and to subsequently analyze the effect of these extracts on IRAK-4, TAK1, IKK-alpha, IKK-beta, NF-Kappa B, IRF3, IRF7 genes in Toll Like Receptors (TLRs) pathway. Antiproliferative assay was done by Neutral Red Dye uptake assay. Methanolic extract of green tea was found to be most effective against both cell lines as IC₅₀ was achieved at least concentration of the extract. For molecular studies, MDAMB-231 cells were sensitized with methanolic extract of green tea at same IC₅₀, and RT-PCR was performed to determine the relative expression of genes. Expression of IRAK-4, TAK1, IKK-beta, NF-Kappa B, IRF3 genes was down regulated and IRF7 and IKKalpha was upregulated. Green tea has a potential cytotoxic effect on both cell lines which was demonstrated by its effect on the expression of (TLRs) pathway genes.

Antioxidative activities of catechin from green tea extracts were examined by the methods of 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) electron donating ability, hydroxy scavenging activity and the inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase activity. The resulted demonstrated the fact that Catechin one (containing Green tea extracts plus catechin 51%) of green tea extracts product showed at 65.5% in electron donating activity on the DPPH. The electron donating ability on the DPPH of Catechin one was increased to 10% than purified catechin. Catechin one showed the activity at 64.5% in scavenging activity using hydroxy radical method. To the Catechin one provided to increase the hydroxy scavenging activity up to 3 fold. Inhibitory effects of the catechin one measured with xanthine oxidase method was 6.5%. Although the antioxidative activity of catechin (98% purified) was lower than that of Catechin one (containing Green tea extracts plus catechin 51%) in same catechin concentrations ($5{\mu}g$, respectively). Therefore, we may suggest that Catechin one can be used as a functional food additive possessing the potent antioxidative activity.

The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of green tea extract (CUMS6335) on the release of CA evoked by cholinergic stimulation and direct membrane-depolarization in the perfused model of the adrenal gland isolated from the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), and to establish the mechanism of action. Furthermore, it was also to test whether there is species difference between animals, and between CUMS6335 and EGCG, one of biologically the most powerful catechin compounds found in green tea. CUMS6335 $(100\;{\mu}g/ml)$, when perfused into an adrenal vein for 60 min, time-dependently inhibited the CA secretory responses evoked by ACh (5.32mM), high $K^+$(56 mM), DMPP $(100\;{\mu}M)$, and McN-A-343 $(100\;{\mu}M)$ from the isolated perfused adrenal glands of SHRs. However, CUMS6335 itself did fail to affect basal catecholamine output. Also, in adrenal glands loaded with CUMS6335 $(100\;{\mu}g/ml)$, the CA secretory responses evoked by Bay-K-8644 $(10\;{\mu}M)$ and cyclopiazonic acid $(10\;{\mu}M)$ were also inhibited in a relatively time-dependent fashion. However, in the Presence of EGCG $(8.0\;{\mu}g/ml)$ for 60 min, the CA secretory response evoked by ACh, high $K^+$, DMPP, McN-A-343, Bay-K-8644 and cyclopiazonic acid were not affected except for last period. Collectively, these results indicate that CUMS6335 inhibits the CA secretion evoked by stimulation of cholinergic (both nicotinic and muscarinic) receptors as well as by direct membrane-depolarization from the perfused adrenal gland of the SHR. It seems that this inhibitory effect of CUMS6335 is exerted by blocking both the calcium influx into the rat adrenal medullary chromaffin cells and the uptake of $Ca^{2+}$ into the cytoplasmic calcium store, which are at least partly relevant to the direct interaction with the nicotinic receptor itself. It seems likely that there is much difference in mode of the CA-releasing action between CUMS6335 and EGCG.

To assay for antioxidant capacity of natural products considered important in producing human health benefits, a practical and economical method using pellet techniques was developed. A standard visualizing reagent, 1,1diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), was mixed with a water-miscible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), serving as a solid phase support for the DPPH reagent. A DPPH pellet was prepared by dropping a small volume of the DPPH solution onto PET film, and drying in an oven. The PVA-based DPPH pellet was dissolved into water, in which the water-miscible PVA plays as a non-ionic surfactant to help the DPPH reagent to be dissolved into the solvent. Using the DPPH assay, the antioxidant capacity of water-soluble extracts of black soybean, barley, green tea, and green gram was examined. Among the natural products tested, green tea showed the highest antioxidant capacity. This PVA-based DPPH antioxidant assay can be further applied in the natural food, raw plant material, and health product inspection field.

'EGCG(epigallocatechin gallate) rich Green Tea extract(EGTE)' was prepared by a convenient chromatographical manner using water and alcohol which was regarded as the most suitable and appropriate process for food manufacturing. The EGCG content in EGTE was estimated above 97%. Analysis of polyphenol components in green tea, i.e., catechin(C), epigallocatechin(EGC), epicatechin(EC), epigallocatechin gallate(EGCG), epicatechin gallate(ECG) and caffeine was performed by HPLC. The optimized HPLC method exhibited a good linearity of calibration curve, accuracy and precision. The long-term stability evaluation of EGTE was carried out with a powdered formulation and solution formulation by estimating the color change and measuring the EGCG content by HPLC analysis for one year. The EGCG content of the powdered EGTE stored in a transparent bottle at room temperature was retained over 97% at the end of the experimental period. The EGCG content of 0.1% water solution of EGTE stored in a transparent bottle at RT were observed to decrease below 30%, whereas that stored at $2^{\circ}C$ retained over 70%, respectively. These results suggested that a powdered formulation could be recommended for the commercialized nutraceutical product of EGTE rather than a solution formulation.

본 연구는 고장초를 이용한 입욕제를 개발하고자 천연물질인 어성초, 녹차 및 애엽을 고장초와 혼합하여 완제품 3종류를 만들어서 선호도에 관하여 조사하였다. 향, 색, 맛 및 촉감에서 녹차와 고장초가 높은 선호도를 보였다. 고장초에 첨가할 혼합액에 대한 선호도 조사결과 어성초 50%, 녹차 30% 및 애엽 20% 비율로 만든 혼합액의 선호도가 가장 높았다. 선정된 혼합액을 가지고 고장초와 비율을 달리하여 만든 완성품에 대한 선호도 조사에서 선정된 혼합액이 40%, 고장초 60%를 첨가하여 만든 완성품이 가장 높은 선호도를 보였다. 최종 선정된 완제품 입욕제를 가지고 피부조건 변화에 대해 조사한 결과 높은 만족도를 보였다. 그러므로 고장초를 이용한 입욕제 개발은 피부를 건강하게 해주는 효능이 상승하여, 우수한 입욕제가 될 것으로 판단된다.
