This study was conducted to investigate the detoxification effect of extract from soy-sprout grown using high concentrated oxygen water extract (SE) against alcohol-induced hangover in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The rats were orally administered with different concentrations of SE beverage [26, 260 and 2,000 mg/kg body weight (b.w.)] and, after 30 min, with alcohol at a dose of 3 g/kg b.w. After 1 and 3 h of alcohol administration, blood was collected from the retro-orbital plexus, while after 5 h, blood was collected from the heart. In the 2,000 mg/kg b.w. SE group, the concentration of blood alcohol was significantly reduced after 1-5 h of alcohol loading as compared with that in the other groups. In addition, the blood acetaldehyde concentration was reduced by SE (2,000 mg/kg b.w.). These results suggest that SE beverage can alleviate alcohol hangover symptoms by stimulating the activities related to hepatic alcohol-metabolizing enzymes.

The antioxidant and alcohol-degrading enzyme activities of soybean sprout sugar solutions (oligosaccharide and sucrose, $50^{\circ}Bx$) were characterized under different soaking conditions. The ratio of sugar solution to sprout content was 25%, 50%, and 75% (w/w), and the soaking times studied were 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. Higher 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity was detected in case of the oligosaccharide solution, compared to the sucrose solution. A similar tendency was observed for alcohol-degrading enzyme activity. When the ratio of sugar solution to sprout content was 50% (w/w), the total phenol and flavonoid contents were found to be higher, compared to those observed at 20% (w/w). However, we did not observe a significant difference between 50% and 75% (w/w). Soaking time did not significantly affect the antioxidant and alcohol-degrading enzyme activities of the solutions. As a result, when oligosaccharide solution was used for soaking soy sprouts at a ratio of >50% (w/w), higher antioxidant and alcoholdegrading enzyme activities were observed.

This study was conducted to select new variants with different characteristics in plant height, leaf color, and petal color of plantain lily (Hosta plantaginea) and Japanese farfugium (Farfugium japonicum). After 10-30Gy ${\gamma}-ray$ irradiation to seeds of both species, seed germination, variant induction, growth of variants, and survival ratios were estimated. Days required for seed germination were lengthened and % seed germination decreased as the dosage of ${\gamma}-ray$ increased over 20Gy. Lethal dose ($LD_{50}$) for plantain lily and Japanese farfugium were 30Gy and 25Gy, respectively. Plantain lily and Japanese farfugium treated by more than 20Gy ${\gamma}-ray$ showed dwarf characteristics in growth, and variations in leaf and petal colors. Total 166 variants in plantain lily were induced by ${\gamma}-ray$ irradiation in a $M_1$ generation, among which 12 promising variants were selected in a $M_2$ generation. Total 57 variants of Japanese farfugium were induced by ${\gamma}-ray$ irradiation in a $M_1$ generation, among which nine promising variants were selected in a $M_2$ generation.

BACKGROUND: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical widely used in polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins. BPA is an endocrine disruptor. Residue of BPA in agricultural environments is a major concern. The objective of this study was to understand the characteristics of the uptake and distribution of BPA and its metabolites introduced into the agricultural environment to crops, and to use it as basic data for further research on reduction of BPA in agricultural products. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study established the analysis method of BPA and its metabolites in soil and crops, and estimated the intake of BPA and its metabolites from lettuce (Lactuca sativa) grown in sandy loam and loam soil, which are representative soils in Korea. The two major metabolites of BPA were 4-hydroxyacetophenone (4-HAP) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA). BPA, 4-HAP and 4-HBA have been analyzed by using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). These substances were detected in sandy loam and loam soil, indicating that certain portions of BPA were converted to 4-HAP and 4-HBA in the soil; however, it was observed that only 4-HBA migrated to lettuce through the roots into crops. CONCLUSION: The uptake residues showed the BPA and 4-HAP were not detected in lettuces grown on sandy loam (SL) and loam (L) soil treatments that were applied with of 10 ng/g, 50 ng/kg and 500 ng/g of BPA. However, the 4-HBA was detected at the level of 7 ng/g and 11 ng/g in the lettuce grown in sandy loam and loam soil that were treated with the 500 ng/g of BPA, respectively, while the 8 ng/g of 4-HBA was measured in the lettuce cultivated in the loam that was treated with 100 ng/g of BPA. This result presents that the BPA persisting in the soil of the pot was absorbed through the lettuce roots and then distributed in the lettuce leaves at the converted form of 4-HBA, what is the oxidative metabolite of BPA.
