Obesity is an important risk factor that significantly increases mortality and disease rates in the cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and various diseases. So far, the most powerful way to inhibit fat absorption is pancreatic lipase inhibitors. In this study, we investigated the anti-obesity effect of the extract of Juniperus rigida. Juniperus rigida extract (JRE) had a inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase activity ($IC_{50}$=8.63 ${\mu}g$/ml). In in vivo oil-emulsion loading test, this extract also inhibited the intestinal fat absorption. In addition, we measured inhibitory effects of JRE on activity of phosphodiesterase (PDE) and hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) among the important enzymes associated with lipolysis. JRE strongly inhibited PDE activity ($IC_{50}$=4.56 ${\mu}g$/ml), whereas inhibitory effect on HSL activity was very weak compared with orlistat. As a result, JRE inhibited the absorption of fat by inhibiting the activity of pancreatic lipase and induced lipolysis through inhibition of PDE activity. Therefore, we suggest that Juniperus rigida may be a potential therapeutic agent improving obesity.

Lipase를 유지분해에 이용하기 위한 기초연구로서 Candida cylindracea에서 추출된 lipase를 흡착법에 의해 고정화하고 그의 반응특이성을 본 결과는 다음과 같다. Lipase 흡착에 적합한 흡착제로는 silica gel이 선정되었으며, Silica gel 1.6g에 lipase 47.5 units를 $5^{\circ}C$, PH 7.0에서 100분간 흡착시키는 것이 좋았다. Silica gel에 고정화 시킨 lipase를 유지방과 olive oil의 분해에 적합한 최적온도 및 최적pH는 가용성효소와 비교시 $37^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0으로 변하지는 않았으나 활성의 범위는 넓어졌다. 또한 열안정성 및 pH안정성도 가용성 효소에 비하여 활성의 범위가 넓어졌다. 유지의 분해에 적합한 고정화 효소의 최적효소농도는 유지방의 경우 30g이었으며 올리브유의 경우 80g으로 선정하였다. 이 때 최적기질농도는 유지방 및 올리브유 모두 20%였다. 반응시간에 따른 반응률은 유지방을 이용하여 조사한 결과 가용성 효소는 반응 4시간까지는 급격한 분해를 나타냈으나 고정화 효소는 8시간 까지 급격한 증가를 나타내고 그 이상은 거의 일정하였다. 또한 유리되는 지방산의 profile은 가용성 효소와 비교시 capric acid의 생성은 모두 높았으며, myristic acid의 함량은 높고 butyic acid의 함량은 적었다.

Enzyme production of calcium stearate was attempted by lipase. Lipase having the highed hydrolyzing activity at $60^{\circ}C$, a melting point of substrate (hydrogenated beef tallow),was selected. 60% of hydrogenated beef tallow was converted into calcium stearate in 48hr. This result showed the possible replacement of conventional waste-producing process into enzymetic reaction.

Beef tallow, which is an industrial lipid substrate, was hydrolyzed by lipase immobilized on a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) powder. Ethanol pre-washing process affected the immobilization efficiency. Half-life of storage of the HDPE at $4^{\circ}C$ was 150 days. And after 10 times of repeated use, more than 50% of initial activity remained. An apparent Michaelis constant ($K_m$) and maximum velocity ($V_{max}$) were 2.7M, and 1.4 mmol/min/l for immobilized lipase, and 0.5 M, and 1.9 mmol/min/l for soluble lipase, respectively.

Lipase of Staphylococcus sp. was purified from the culture supernatant, and its molecular mass estimated to be 44 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Its optimum temperature and pH for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl substrates was $28^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.5, respectively The gene encoding the lipase was cloned in Escherichia coli in the $NH_2$-teminally truncated form by using the shotgun method, and sequenced. The mature enzyme had a 49-93% amino acid sequence homology with other staphylococcal lipases. This lipase was used for the hydrolysis of the 3-O-acetate of cephalosporin-C to give an intermediate, deacetylated cephalosporin-C that is useful for further chemical elaborations.

In order to obtain a strain of producing lipase which has resistance against alkaline and detergent, a screening test was carried out. Among 500 strains isolated from soil samples, the strain J-19 was selected for this study. The composition of the optimum medium for the highest lipase production was 2.0% glycerin, 1.0% corn steep liquor, 2.0% yeast extract, 0.1% $MgSO_4$ $7H_2O$, 0.2% $K_2HPO_4$, 1.5% soybean oil and 0.1% LAS(linear alkylbenzene sulfonate) with initial pH value of 10.0 and 3-day cultivation at $25^{\circ}C$. The lipase activity of the strain J-19 under optimal condition was 3.3. units/ml, which was increased about 1.3-fold than that of basal medium.

Pancreatic lipase digests dietary fats by hydrolysis, which is a key enzyme for lipid absorption. Therefore, reduction of fat absorption by the inhibition of pancreatic lipase is suggested to be a therapeutic strategy for obesity. We previously reported coumarins and secoiridoids of Fraxinus rhynchophylla as inhibitory constituents on adipocyte differentiation. Further investigation on F. rhynchophylla led to the isolation of lignan derivatives such as lignans (1 - 10), sesquilignans (11 - 14) and coumarinolignans (15 - 17). Among them, coumarinolignans and sesquilignans were first reported from Fraxinus species. Among the constituents isolated, sesquilignans showed the significant inhibition on pancreatic lipase, whereas lignans and coumarinolignans exerted weak effects.

Beef luncheon meat is one of the most popular meals in several countries in the world including Egypt. Thirty one fungal species and 3 species varieties were recovered from 30 samples of beef luncheon meat collected from different supermarkets in Qena. Alternaria, Aspergillus, Emericella, Mucor, Mycosphaerella, Penicillium and Rhizopus were the most common genera on the two types of media. From the above genera, the most prevalent species were Alternaria alternate, Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. terreus, Emericella nidulans, Mucor racemosus, Mycosphaerella tassiana, Penicillium chrysogenum and Rhizopus stolonifer. Screening of fungi for their abilities to produce lipase enzyme showed that, ten isolates represented 32.26% of total isolates appeared high lipase production, while sixteen isolates (51.61%) were moderate and 5 isolates (16.13%) were low producers. Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum and Nectria haematococca produced the highest amount of lipase enzyme, so these fungi were used in further studies. The incorporation of five food preservatives (Disodium phosphate, sodium benzoate, citric acid, potassium sorbate and sodium citrate) individually in the culture medium of lipase production exhibited an inhibitive effect on the mycelial growth and enzyme production by Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum and Nectria haematococca.

The objective of this study was determined to evaluate ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, pancreatic lipase inhibition in vitro and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the several Korean resources plants. The ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity of Salicornia herbacea, Erythronium japonicum (flower) and Phragmites communis (root) in water extract showed relatively high 62.8%, 66.5% and 69.3%, respectively. The ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity of Citrus junos (pericarp) and Cornus officinalis in methanol extract was found to have an effect with 32.8% in Citrus junos (pericarp) and 60.9% in Cornus officinalis. Corylopsis coreana in both water and methanol extract had the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 81.7% and 89.5%, while the extract of Portulaca oleracea, Ficus carica and Citrus junos was not measured ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity at given experiment concentration. Depending on the extraction solvent and the plant species, it was observed that there was a significant difference in ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity showed relatively higher in the methanol extract than water extract except pericarp of Citrus junos. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of selected plants was much difference between measured plant species, and showed that the increase was proportional to the concentration. These results suggested that selected plants had the potent biological activity on carbohydrate, lipid Inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity, therefore these plant resources could be a good materials to develop medicinal preparations, nutraceuticals or health functional foods for diabetes or obesity.

The low solubility and high-cost recovery of Propionibacterium acnes polyunsaturated fatty acid isomerase (PAI) are key problems in the bioproduction of high value-added conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). To improve the solubility of recombinant PAI, six chaperone proteins were coexpressed with PAI. Introduction of GroELS proteins dramatically improved the PAI solubility from 29% to 97%, with increased activity by 57.8%. Combined expression of DnaKJ-GrpE and GroELS proteins increased the activity by 11.9%. In contrast, coexpression of DnaKJ-GrpE proteins significantly reduced the activity by 57.4%. Plasmids pTf16 harboring the tig gene and pG-Tf2 containing the tig and groEL-groES genes had no visible impact on PAI expression. The lytic protein E was then introduced into the recombinant Escherichia coli to develop a cell autolysis system. A 35% activity of total intracellular PAI was released from the cytoplasm by suspending the lysed cells in distilled water. The PAI recovery was further improved to 81% by optimizing the release conditions. The lipase from Rhizopus oryzae was also expressed in E. coli, with an extracellular activity of 110.9 U/ml. By using the free PAI and lipase as catalysts, a joint system was established for producing CLA from sunflower oil. Under the optimized conditions, the maximum titer of t-10,c-12-CLA reached 9.4 g/l. This work provides an effective and low-cost strategy to improve the solubility and recovery of the recombinant intracellular PAI for further large-scale production of CLA.
