The effects of metallothionein and cadmium ion on the hepatic aldehyde oxidase activity and brain lipid peroxidation were tested in vitro. The content of brain lipid peroxide at the condition of normal or $300{\mu}M$ Fe(II)-induced was remarkably reduced by the addition of metallothionein in the incubation mixture. The induced content of lipid peroxide by cadmium $(30{\mu}g/ml)$ ion was reduced by metallothionein $(100{\mu}g/ml)$. The activity of aldehyde oxidase was not affected by metallothionein, but cadmium ion $(8.38{\mu}g/ml)$ increased the activity of aldehyde oxidase about 80% compared to the control. The cadmium-induced activity of aldehyde oxidase was restored to the control level by metallothionein or penicillamine.

The effect of lycopene supplementation on the antioxidant system was investigated by analyzing lipid peroxide levels, glutathione contents, and antioxidant enzyme activities in Mongolian gerbils fed a high fat diet. Gerbils were fed on each experimental diet for 6 weeks; normal diet (NC), normal diet with 0.05% lycopene (NL), high fat diet (HF), and a high fat diet with 0.05% lycopene (HFL). Dietary supplementation of lycopene increased hepatic lycopene level in gerbils fed a normal or high fat diet (P < 0.05). Liver and erythrocyte concentrations of lipid peroxide increased in gerbils fed a high fat diet, whereas lycopene supplementation decreased liver and erythrocyte concentrations of lipid peroxide (P < 0.05). Hepatic total glutathione content was higher in the NL group than that in the NC group (P < 0.05). Total antioxidant status in plasma increased following lycopene supplementation compared with that of the non-lycopene supplemented groups (P < 0.05). Hepatic catalase activity increased following dietary lycopene supplementation (P < 0.05). Superoxide dismutase activity in liver remained unchanged with lycopene supplementation, but erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity increased in NL group compared with NC group (P < 0.05). Glutathione-S-transferase activity increased in the NL group compared to NC group (P < 0.05). Liver and erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity increased significantly in the NL group compared to that in the HF group (P < 0.05). Liver glutathione reductase activity was higher in the NL group than that in the NC group (P < 0.05). These results suggest that lycopene supplementation may be efficient for preventing chronic diseases induced by oxidative stress related to high fat diet.

In oriental medicine, Artemisia Iwayomogi(Compositae) has been used clinically for jaundice, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis etc. The purposes of present study were to examine pharmacological effects of Artemisia lwayomogi water extract(AIWE) on weights of body, liver, kidney, spleen and adrenal, and on biochemical parameters (activities of AST, ALT and LDH, contents of cholesterol and triacylglycerol, and levels of hepatic lipid peroxide) against hepatic injury by carbon tetrachloride($CCl_4$) in rats. The results were as follow; 1. Body weights were reduced by $CCl_4$. In AIWE pretreatment groups, reduction of body weights was inhibited at 48 hours. Increased liver weights by $CCl_4$ were reduced in proportion to numbers of treatment of AIWE in AIWE pre- and posttreatment groups. Increased kidney weights by $CCl_4$ were reduced in AIWE pretreatment groups at 72 hours. Increased weights of spleen and adrenal by $CCl_4$ were not affected by AIWE treament. 2. Increased AST activities by $CCl_4$ were significantly (p<0.05) decreased in AIWE posttreatment groups at 48 and 72 hours. Increased ALT activities by $CCl_4$ were significantly(p<0.05) decreased in AIWE posttreatment groups at 48 hours. Increased LDH activities by $CCl_4$ were very significantly (p<0.01, p<0.001) decreased in AIWE posttreatment groups at 48 and 72 hours, respectively. 3. Increased cholesterol contents by $CCl_4$ were significantly (p<0.05) decreased in AIWE posttreatment groups at 24 and 48 hours. Decreased triacylglycerol contents by $CCl_4$ were significantly (p<0.05) increased in AIWE posttreatment at 48 and 72 hours. 4. Increased hepatic lipid peroxide levels by $CCl_4$ were significantly (p<0.05, p<0.01) decreased in AIWE posttreatment groups at 48 and 72 hours, respectively. In conclusion, AIWE did not affect normal liver function and had property of antioxidant, due to reduced lipid peroxidation by $CCl_4$. AIWE seems to have hepatoprotective effects rather than direct preventive effects to $CCl_4$-induced necrotic degeneration of liver cell, cholestasis and damages in metabolism of lipid.

The effects of the methanol extract of the leaves of Brassica juncea and isorhamnetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, major compound isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of this plant on hepatic lipid peroxidation and drug-metabolizing enzymes, were evaluated in rats treated with bromobenzene. The extract and isorhamnetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ of oral administration did not show any significant effects on activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase, enzymes forming toxic epoxide by bromobenzene as well as on glutathione content. However, both methanol extract and isorhamnetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ significantly recovered the decreased activities of glutathione s-transferase and epoxide hydrolase, and also reduced the lipid peroxide level in rats treated with bromobenzene. From the results, the protections of this plant against bromobenzene-induced hepatotoxicity are thought to be via enhancing the activities of epoxide hydrolase and glutathione s-transferase, enzymes removing toxic epoxide, and reducing the lipid peroxide level.

당뇨병 상태에서 항산화영양소인 carotenoids의 공급이 체내 항산화비타민의 함량에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 조사하고자 Sprague-Dawley종 흰쥐를 이용하여 당뇨를 유도하고 비타민 A와 E의 함량 변화를 측정하였다. 당뇨를 유도하기 전에는 체중증가량에 있어서 별다른 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 당뇨가 유도된 후에는 체중증가량이 감소되었으나 $\beta$-carotene의 섭취에 의한 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 식이섭취량은 당뇨쥐에서 대조군에 비해 별다른 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 식이효율은 대조군에 비해 당뇨군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 당뇨 유도로 흰쥐의 혈당치는 대조군에 비하여 2배 이상 증가하였으나 당뇨군 사이에서 $\beta$-carotene의 급여에 의한 혈당강하 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. 혈장의 retinol 함량은 당뇨군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으나 $\beta$-carotene의 급여에 의한 영향은 관찰되지 않았다. 당뇨군에서 retinol함량이 유의적으로 감소되었고 혈장의 $\alpha$-to-copherol의 함량은 혈장 지질 함량을 이용하여 보정하였을 때 당뇨군에서 현저한 감소를 보였으나 $\beta$-carotene의 급여에 의한 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 간조직 중의 retinol과 retinyl palmitate 함량은 당뇨 유발군에서 유의적인 감소를 보였으며, $\beta$-carotene 급여에 의해 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나 $\alpha$-tocopherol 함량은 당뇨 유도와 $\beta$-carotene급여에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 통해 볼 때 당뇨병 환자의 혈관계 합병증을 예방하기 위해 한국인의 식생활에서 $\beta$-carotene 섭취를 효과적으로 할 수 있는 실제적인 식사관리 방안을 강구한다면 당뇨병환자의 혈관계 합병증을 완화시킬 수 있으리라고 여겨진다.

고려인삼에서 분리한 폴리아세틸렌 성분인 파낙시돌, 파낙시놀과 파낙시트리올의 사염화탄소로 유도된 마우스와 흰주의 지질과 산화와 효소적 또는 비효소적으로 유도된 시험관내 과산화 지질 형성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 정상 또는 사염화탄소 처리된 마우스와 흰쥐에 대한 폴리아세틸렌의 효과를 혈청과 간 과산화 지질수준과 혈청효소 (GOT, GPT, LDH) 활성을 측정함으로써 관찰하였다. 간 마이크로좀 내 cytochrome P-450 함량과 aniline hydroxylase와 aminopyrine demethylase 활성도 측정되었다. 정상 마우스에 폴리아세틸렌을 처리한 경우 파낙시놀의 경우를 제외하곤 간과 혈청의 과산화 지질 형성과 혈청효소들의 활성에 변화가 없었으며, 파낙시놀은 간의 지질 과산화를 억제하였다, 폴리아세틸렌 성분들은 사염화탄소로 유도된 간의 과산화지질형성에 대한 보호작용을 나타내었고, 혈청지질과산화 수준을 낮추었다. 또한 사염화탄소로 유도된 LDH의 혈액내 유출에 대한 보호작용이 있으나, 혈청 GOT와 GPT 수준엔 영향을 주지 않았다. 사염화탄소는 cytochrome P-450 함량과 aniline hydroxylase, aminopyrine demethylase 활성을 낮추었으며, 이 경우 폴리아세틸렌은 효과를 나타내지 못하였다. 반면, 사염화탄소 없이 폴리아세틸렌만 처리한경우, 파낙시돌과 파낙시놀은 aniline hydroxylase를 세폴리아세틸렌성분은 aminopyrine demethylase를 유도하였으며, cytochrome P-450엔 영향을 주지 않았다. 시험관내 간 마이크로좀의 지질 과산화는 폴리아세틸렌 첨가시 농도에 비례하여 억제되었다.

본 연구에서는 포도박이 고지방식이를 섭취한 흰쥐의 효소 활성과 지질과산화 수준에 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 포도박의 생리활성과 자원화에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자하였다. 고지방식이를 섭취한 흰쥐에게 포도박 실험식이를 급여한 후 혈청, 간조직 중의 지질과산화물 함량, glutathione 함량과 간조직 효소 활성을 측정하였다. 포도박 첨가군의 식이섭취량은 대조군에 비하여 감소하였고, 체중증가량의 실험군 간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 식이효율은 고지방식이군이 정상식이군 보다 유의적으로 증가하였다. 지질과산화물 함량은 혈청의 경우 정상식이군에서는 포도박 첨가에 의한 변화가 없었으나 고지방식이군에서 함량이 증가되었고 포도박 첨가에 의해 감소되었다. 간조직과 간 microsome에서는 포도박을 첨가한 군이 각각의 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하였다. 간조직 내의 총glutathione 함량과 GSH/GSSG 비는 포도박 첨가군이 대조군에 비하여 모두 유의적으로 증가하였다. 간조직의 SOD 활성은 정상식이군에서는 차이가 없었으나 고지방식이에 포도박을 첨가한 군이 고지방대조군에 비하여 활성이 유도되었다. 간조직의 catalase 활성은 대조군에 비하여 포도박 첨가군이 유의적으로 증가하였다. G6Pase 활성은 포도박의 첨가로 인하여 대조군보다 활성이 증가하였지만 실험군간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. GST와 GSH-Px 활성은 정상 식이군에서는 변화되지 않았으나 고지방식이에 포도박을 첨가한 군이 고지방대조군 보다 효소 활성이 유의적으로 증가되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 식이섬유와 폴리페놀 성분을 다량 함유한 포도박 식이는 체내 항산화계를 활성화함으로써 지질 산화와 관련성이 높은 심혈관계 질환의 예방효과를 가져올 수 있는 것으로 기대되었다. 포도박의 이러한 생리활성에 대한 연구결과는 향후 포도 가공 중에 얻어지는 포도박 폐기물을 자원화 할 수 있는 기초자료로 이용될 것으로 사료된다.

This study was undertaken to investigate the inhibition effects of Auricularia auricula-judae methanol extract in edible mushroom on lipid peroxidation and liver damage in benzo(a)pyrene(B(a)P)-treated mice. The activities of serum aminotransferase, cytochrome P-450, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and the hepatic content of lipid peroxide after B(a)P-treatment was markedly increased than control but those levels were significantly decreased by the treatment of Auricularia auricula-judae methanol extract. Glutathione S-transferase activity and the hepatic glutathione content were decreased by B(a)P-treatment than control, but those were also inhibited by the treament of Auricularia auricula-judae methanol extract. These results suggest that Auricularia auricula-judae methanol extract have a protective effect on liver damage by B(a)P.

This study was done to determine the effect of lead acetate on the activities of the hepatic cytosofic xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase which were well known as oxygen free radical generating enzyme in vitro. Lead ion accelerated the formation of lipid peroxide and the increment of xanthine oxidase(type O) activity and the type conversion ratio from xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxidase dose-dependently. But xanthine dehydrogenase(type D) activity was decreased. Aldehyde oxidase activity was not changed by lead ion. These data suggested that lead-induced cellular to)dcity may be concerned partially with xanthine oxidase mediated lipid peroxidation.

SANGNYANGHYOLTANG(SYT) is one of the most important prescription that has been used in oriental medicine for diabetes mellitus. The sudy was done in order to elucidate the anti-diabetic effect of SYT. After pretreatment of SYT(1,000mg／kg) for 6 weeks, the effect of of SYT was prevented on serum liver function test and hepatic lipid peroxide content in rats i.v. injected with streptozotocin(STZ, 50mg／kg, tail vein) 5 weeks after pretreatment of SYT. The hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and aniline hydroxylase were significantly decreased, and aminopyrine N-demethylase activity was significantly increased in SYT-STZ group as compared with control group. Changes in aldehyde oxidase, xanthine oxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, epoxide hydrolase, UDP-glucuronyltransferase and sulfotransferase activities were not significantly different in any of the group. The cytosolic glutathione S-transferase activity was significantly decreased in SYT-STZ group as compared with control group. The selenium-independent glutathione peroxidase was significantly increased in SYT-STZ group as compared with control group, but there was no significant difference in selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase in any of the groups. The hepatic glutathione concentration was significantly increased in SYT-STZ group as compared with control group, and ${\gamma}-glutamylcystein$ synthetase and glutathione reductase activities were not significantly different in any of the groups. The hepatic lipid peroxide content, serum aminotransferase and sorbitol dehydrogenase activities were slightly decreased in significantly in SYT-STZ groups.
