Pine(Pinus densiflora Sieb et Zucc.) is one of rhe popular plant drugs which has been used as a medicine in Asia. To investigate the effect of pine needle extract (PNE) on oxygen radicals and their scavenger enzymes in brain membranes of Sprague- Dawley (SD), make SD rats were fed basic diets(control group), and experimental diets (PNE group) with 0.5 and 1.0% of PNE 6 weeks. Mitochondrial hydroxyl radical levels in brain of 0.5%-PNE and 1.0%-PNE groups were significantly inhibited to 30% and 25%, respectively, and microsomal hydrogen peroxide levels in brain of 0.5%-PNE and 1.0%-PNE groups were significantly inhibited to 15% compared with control group. Cytosolic superoxide rdical levels in 1.0%-PNE group were significantly inhibited to 20% compared with control group. Lipid peroxide(LPO) levels in brain mitochondria of 0.5%-PNE and 1.0%-PNE groups were significantly lower(25% and 35%) than that in control group. Mn-superoxide disumtase (SOD) activities in brain of 0.5%-PNE and 1.0%-PNE groups were significantly higher(18% and 12%) than those in control groups, but Cu,Zn-SOD activities in brain of 0.5%-PNE were significantly activated to 15% compared with control group. Glutathione peroxidase(GSHPx) activities in brain of 1.5%-PNE and 1.0% PNE groups were significantly higher(14% and 12%) than those in control group. These results suggest that more beneficial effects such as inhibition of oxygen radicals and lipid peroxide(LPO). and oncreases of scavenger enzymes in brain membranes of SD rats may be effectively modulated by administration of pine needle extract (PNE)

Melatonin, a chemical mediator produced in the mammalian pineal gland and several other organ, is a ubiquitously acting antioxidant. It has been shown to scavenge the hydroxyl radical (ㆍOH), singlet oxygen ($^1$O$_2$) and the peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-). In addition, melatonin reportedly stimulates a number of antioxidative enzymes including glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Antioxidative effect of melatonin in pharmacological and physiological level was investigated using hepatocarcinogen 2-nitropropane (2-NP) and pinealectornized (Px) rats, respectively. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) as indicated by malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxyalkenals and DNA damage as indicated by 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) induced by 2-NP were prevented by melatonin. The degree of LPO and DNA damage in Px rats were higher than those of intact old and young ones suggesting the removal of pineal gland resulted in higher accumulation of oxidative damage.

Objectives : This study was purposed to investigate the antioxidative effects of Paeoniae radix aqua-acupuncture solution(PR) on culture liver cell system, lipid peroxidation and antioxidative enzyme activities in tert-butyl hydroperoxide(t-BHP) treatmented conditions. Methods : Cultured normal rat liver cell(Ac2F) were prepared and incubated with or without PR(at 2% volume in culture medium). After 16~18hr, cells placed in DMEM medium without serum, and then incubated with 1mM t-BHP for 2hr. Viable cells were detected by MTT assay, and the levels of lipid peroxide(LPO) were measured by TBA method. And catalase activity was measured as the decrease in hydrogen peroxide absorbance at 240nm on spectrophotometer using 30mM hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide dismutase(SOD) were assayed by recording the inhibition of nitro blue tetrazolium reduction with xanthine and xanthine oxidase. Glutathione peroxidase(GPX) activity was determined by the modified coupled assay developed by Paglia and Lawrence. The reaction was started by addition of 2.2mM hydrogen peroxide as substrate. The change in absorbance at 340nm was measured for 1min on spectrophotometer. Glutathione-S-transferase(GST) activity was assayed with CDNB as substrate and enzyme activity of GST towards the glutathione conjugation of CDNB. Results : Cell killing was significantly enhanced by addition of t-BHP compared to those of untreated group. PR pretreated cell resisted the toxic effects of t-BHP. LPO levels of t-BHP treatment group were significantly higher than other groups. This increased level was significandy reduced by PR pretreatment. The t-BHP treatment resulted in a decrease of catalase, GPX and GST activities. By contrast, PR pretreatment markedly increased compare to those of untreated groups. Conclusions : T-BHP which can produce intracellular free radical was used for inducer of the peroxidation of cellular lipids. PR protected the cell death induced by t-BHP and significantly increased cell viabiliry in the normal rat liver cell, and showed effective inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and elevations of catalase, GPX and GST activities. These results suggested that PR might play a protective role in lipid peroxidation by free radicals.

Objectives: The present study was undertaken to determine the modulatory effect of taurine on the liver mitochondrial enzyme system with reference to mitochondrial lipid peroxidation (LPO), antioxidants, major tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes, and electron transport chain enzymes during 7,12-dimethyl benz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced breast cancer in Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods: Animals in which breast cancer had been induced by using DMBA (25 mg/kg body weight) showed an increase in mitochondrial LPO together with decreases in enzymic antioxidants (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST)), non-enzymic antioxidants (reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamin C, and vitamin E), in citric acid cycle enzymes (isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (alpha KDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH)), and in electron transport chain (ETC) complexes. Results: Taurine (100 mg/kg body weight) treatment decreased liver mitochondrial LPO and augmented the activities/levels of enzymic, and non-enzymic antioxidants, tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes and ETC complexes. Conclusion: The results of our present study demonstrated the chemotherapeutic efficacy of taurine treatment for DMBA-induced breast carcinomas.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of silkworm powder (SWP) on oxygen radicals and their scavenger enzymes in serum of rats. Sprague Dawley (SD) male rats (160${\pm}$10g) were fed experimental diets (SWP-200and SWP-400 groups)added 200 and 400mg/kg BW/day for 6 weeks. Triglyceride (TG)levels were significantly inhibited (10% and 25%) in SWP-200 and SWP-400 groups, but there were no singificant differences in total, LDL-and HDL-cholesterol levels in both SWP-200 and SWP-400 groups. Hydroxyl radical ($.$OH) formations resulted in a marked decreases (about 20%) in both SWP-200 and SWP-400 groups compared with control group. Superoxide radical (O2.-)and hydrogen peroxide formations resulted in a significant decreases in SWP-400 group compared with control group. Lipid peroxide (LPO)and oxidized protein(>C=O group) productions resulted in a significant decreases (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activiteies were remarkably increased (10∼25% and 40∼50%)in SWP-200 and SWP-400groups. Glutathione peroxidase(GSHPX) activities were significantly increased (about 10%) in SWP-400 groups compared with control group. These results suggest that anti-aging effect of silkworm powder (SWP) may play a pivotal role in attenuation a various chronic degenerative diseases age-related changes.

White-skinned sweet potato (WSP, Ipomoea batatas L.)는 일본, 인도네시아 등에서 당뇨병과 그 치료에 민간에서 사용되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 WSP의 메탄올 추출물을 체중 1 kg 당 Dose 100, 200 mg을 투여하여 streptozotocin으로 유발된 당뇨쥐에서 손상된 신장 보호효과를 평가하였고 그 효능을 인슐린 분비촉진제인 glimepiride (45 mg/kg 체중)와 비교해 보았다. WSP 메탄올 추출물과 glimepiride를 2주 투여 한 후 혈당, 혈중 요소성 질소(BUN), 크레아티닌, 젖산 탈수소효소(LDH), 지질 과산화물(LPO) 함량, 그리고 항산화효소들인 superoxide dismutase (SOD), 카탈라아제(CAT), 글루타치온 과산화물 분해효소(GPx), 글루타치온 S-전이효소(GST) 등의 활성도를 측정하였다. BUN, 크레아티닌, LDH, 혈당, LPO 함량 등은 대조군에 비하여 그 값이 증가하였고, SOD, CAT, GPx, GST 값은 감소하였다. WSP 메탄올 추출물(200 mg/kg)을 투여한 후 측정한 값은 혈당, LPO, 신장병 표지인자인 BUN, 크레아티닌, LDH, 그리고 지질 과산화물 함량에서 의미있는 개선효과를 볼 수 있었고 항산화효소, 항산화물질의 증가도 나타났다. 따라서 WSP 메탄올 추출물은 당뇨쥐의 혈당을 낮추며 산화적 스트레스를 약화시키고 당뇨로 유발된 신장 손상을 보호해 주는 효과가 있다는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 민간에서 사용하고 있는 WSP가 실제로 당뇨 치료에 효과가 있음을 과학적 증거로 제공해 주었다고 판단된다.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of methionine(Met) on the activities of heart lipid peroxidation related enzymes in ethanol administrated rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed on diets containing one of the three levels of Met(0%, 0.3%, 0.9% of kg diet) and ethanol(2.5g/kg of body weight) was administrated as 25v/v% ethanol to ethanol treated groups orally. The rats were sacrificed after 5 and 10 weeks of feeding. Xanthine oxidase(XO) and catalase activities increased with ethanol administration and those activities were higher n Met excessive and deficiency group than those of Met normal group at 5 and 10 weeks dieting. Superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity in heart decreased significantly in Met deficiency and Met excessive group as compared to that of control. Glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) activity in heart significantly decreased in Met deficiency group as compared to that of Met excessive and normal group. Glutathione S-transferase(GST) activity of heart tissue significantly increased by ethanol administration. Glutathione(GSH) content in heart decreased with ethanol administration and shwoed no significant differences with Met levels. Ethanol administration increased the content of lipid peroxide(LPO).

Objectives The present subacute study was designed to evaluate the effect of coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ10) in the 28 days aroclor 1254 exposure induced oxidative stress in mice brain. Methods Biochemical estimations of brain lipid peroxidation (LPO), reduced glutathione (GSH), and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and acetyl cholinesterase (AChE), and histopathological investigations of brain tissue were carried out. Results Oral exposure of aroclor 1254 (5 mg/kg) led to significant decrease in levels of GSH, and activities of SOD, CAT, GPx, and AChE, and increase in LPO. These aberrations were restored by CoQ10 (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection [IP]). This protection offered was comparable to that of L-deprenyl (1 mg/kg, IP) which served as a reference standard. Conclusions Aroclor 1254 exposure hampers the activities of various antioxidant enzymes and induces oxidative stress in the brains of Swiss albino mice. Supplementation of CoQ10 abrogates these deleterious effects of aroclor 1254. CoQ10 also apparently enhanced acetyl cholinesterase activity which reflects its influence on the cholinergic system.
