열대 저산소 환경에 적응되어 있는 angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)를 급격한 온도변화($27{\pm}0.5{\rightarrow}18{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$) 및 DO 변화($6{\pm}1{\rightarrow}18\;ppm$)에 2시간 동안 적응시킨 후 젖산탈수소효소(EC 1.1.1.27, lactate dehydrogenase, LDH) 동위효소의 특성 및 유전자발현을 연구하였다. LDH 동위효소의 특성은 native-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동, Western blot 분석 및 효소활성 측정으로 확인하였다. 전기영동 결과 liver- 및 eye-specific Ldh-C 유전자는 간, 눈 및 뇌 조직에서 발현되었다. Western blot 분석 결과 LDH $A_4$ 동위효소는 $B_4$ 동위효소보다 음극 쪽에 나타났다. 간 조직에서 온도 저하 시 LDH $A_4$ 동위효소가 증가하고 $B_4$ 동위효소는 감소하였으며, DO 증가 시 LDH $A_4$ 및 $C_4$ 동위효소가 증가하고 $B_4$ 동위효소는 감소하였다. 눈 조직에서는 온도 저하 시 LDH $A_4$ 및 $B_4$ 동위효소가 증가하고 $C_4$ 동위효소는 감소하였으며, DO 증가 시 LDH $A_4$ 및 $B_4$ 동위효소는 증가하지만 $C_4$ 동위효소 및 하부단위체 C를 포함하는 동위효소는 감소하였다. 심장 조직에서는 DO 증가 시 LDH 활성이 증가하였고, LDH $B_4$ 동위효소가 증가하였다. 뇌 조직에서는 온도 저하 시 LDH $A_4$ 및 $B_4$ 동위효소가 증가하였고, DO 증가 시 LDH $B_4$ 동위효소는 증가하였다. 따라서 liver- 및 eye-specific Ldh-C는 DO 변화에 의해 영향을 받으며 간 및 눈 조직에서 LDH $B_4$ 및 $C_4$ 동위효소는 서로 상대적으로 조절되므로 $C_4$ 동위효소는 lactate oxidase로서 기능을 나타내는 것으로 사료된다.

This experimental study was designed to investigate the effects of Sagunja-tang(SGJT), Ijin-tang(IJT), Yukgunja-tang(YGJT) on the change of cerebral hemodynamics [regional cerebral blood f1ow(rCBF), mean arterial blood pressure(MABP), and pial arterial diameter (PAD)] in normal rats, and further to determine the mechanism of action of YGJT. And, this Study was designed to investigate whether YGJT inhibit lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) activity in neuronal cells. The results were as follows ; 1. SGJT significantly increased rCBF but MABP was not changed comparing with normal MABP(l00 %). This results were suggested that SGJT significantly increased rCBF by dilating PAD. 2. IJT significantly decreased rCBF in a dose-dependent, but significantly increased MABP in a dose-dependent. This results were suggested that IJT significantly decreased rCBF by contracting PAD. 3. YGJT significantly increased rCBF and PAD in a dose-dependent, and YGJT increased MABP compared with normal MABP(100 %). This results were suggested that YGJT significantly increased rCBF by dilating PAD. 4. The YGJT-induced increase in rCBF was significantly accelerated by pretreatment with indomethacin (IDN, 1 mg/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase but was significantly inhibited by methylene blue (MTB, 10 ㎍/㎏ i.p.), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase. 5. The YGJT-induced increase in PAD and MABP were accelerated by pretreatment with IDN but was significantly inhibited by MTB. This results suggested that the mechanism of YGJT is mediated by guanylate cyclase. 6. YGJT inhibited significantly LDH activity in neuronal cells. This results were suggested that YGJT prevented the neuronal death. I thought that YGJT should have improvement of cerebral hemodynamics and inhibitive effect on the brain damage.

Objectives: We evaluated the anti-fatigue effects of Rh2-enriched Korean ginseng (Ginseng Rh2+) using a forced exercise-induced chronic fatigue mouse model. Methods: ICR male mice were subjected to running wheel for 1 h, 5 days/week during 4 weeks, and running velocity was gradually increased. Each running session was followed by oral administration of distilled water, Ginseng Rh2+ (150 or 300 mg/kg), or N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC, 100 mg/kg) 1 h later. The exercise tolerance and forced swimming test were performed to evaluate the fatigue condition. Results: Chronic forced exercise reduced the physical activity, as evidenced by the behavioral tests, which were notably ameliorated by Ginseng Rh2+ treatment. Ginseng Rh2+ treatment also attenuated the alterations of energy metabolism and oxidative stress in skeletal muscle tissues and/or sera, including malondialdehyde (MDA), lactate concentration and its related factors (lactate dehydrogenase, blood urea nitrogen, and glucose levels). Conclusion: These findings strongly suggest that Ginseng Rh2+ exerts a potent anti-fatigue effect through modulation of energy metabolism and oxidative response.

The renal toxicity of the extract of Polygalae Radix was investigated in rats. Rats were treated with 3.5 mg/Kg of the extract, i.p., for 7 days. Changes in consumatory behavior, 24 hour-urine and the activities of urinary enzymes were determined during the administration of the extract. Significant decrease in body weight and food consumption and increase in 24 hour-urine volume were observed during the administration. However, the quantity of total creatinine in urine was decreased significantly. Those indicate that subacute treatment with the extract might induce diuresis and the ditiresis might be due to the decrease in water reabsorption. In the activities of urinary enzymes, the activities of alanine aminopejotidase (AAP) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) were increased 4.3 and 3.5 times and then returned to the control. The activity of N-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) was increased 7.2 times and then decreased slowly. But, it was significantly higher than that of the control evea after the last administration. The activity of factate dehydrogenase (LDH) was increased continuozlsly during the treatment. It showed 32 times higher than the control. These results suggested that the extract of Polygalae Radix had toxic effect on kidney. Furthermore, the result suggested that the subacute administration of the extract induced resistance against the toxicity of Polygalae Radix.

The effect of Dolichos lablab leave extract on enzyme activities in mice blood was investigated in this study to clarify the new useful application of the Plant leaves. There were not significant differences in the enzyme activities in mice blood among treatment fed with the leave extract and non fed control. The feeding treatment with the extract showed a tendency to activity compared to the nun fed control. The activities of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate pyruvate transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase in mice blood at the treatment fed with lead and the leave extract were significantly low compared to their activities at the non fed treatment with the extract, respectively. The choline esterase activity was high at the leave extract feeding. The cadmium dietary treatment showed the same result as the lead treatment. In conclusion, the physiological function of the Jebikong leave was significantly in creased when the mice was stressed by the hear metal intake. Therefore, the plant leave extract would consider the reduction of heart metal effect.
