Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae) has been used as an analgesic and antiiflammatory agent and in the treatment of menstrual disorder in folk remedies. Cyperi Rhizomata, processed and unprocessed, were extracted with methanol and fractionated with petroleum ether, chloroform. Butanol, water. The effect of unprocessed Cyperi Rhizoma and processed Cyperi Rhizoma on $CCl_4$ induced lipid peroxidation and hepatotoxity have been tested in rats. BuOH. Water fractions of unprocessed Cyperi Rhizome enhanced the inhibition of antilipid peroxidative effects in liver lipid. In chemical parameters obtained from serum analysis. Butanol fraction of unprocessed Cyperi Rhizoma showed significant decrease in hepatotoxicity. In result, unprocessed Cyperi rhizoma has significant antilipid peroxidative effect and hepatoprotective activity.

프로바이오틱스는 미생물 식품 보조제 또는 건강증진을 위해 전통적으로 유제품에 첨가되어온 세균의 구성요소이다. 본 연구에서는 프로바이오틱스로 이용되는 Bifidobacterium adolescentis SPM0212 균주의 간 보호효과를 평가하였으며, 이전 연구에서는 B형 간염 바이러스에 항 바이러스 활성을 나타내는 균주로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 Wistar albino 랫드를 이용하여 수행되었으며 프로바이오틱스를 연속해서 9일 동안 경구로 투여하고 7일째와 8일째에는 사염화탄소를 투여하여 급성 간 손상을 유도하였다. 간 손상 정도는 혈중 glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT)와 glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT)의 수치와 병리조직학적 시험을 통해 평가하였다. 그 결과, B. adolescentis SPM0212는 SGOT와 SGPT 수치의 증가를 유의적으로 억제하였으며, 사염화탄소가 체중과 장기무게에 미치는 부정적인 영향을 감소시켰다. 또한 병리조직학적 시험결과, 사염화탄소만 투여한 랫드의 간은 정상적인 간세포의 구조가 거의 소실된 반면에 사염화탄소와 B. adolescentis SPM0212를 투여한 랫드의 간은 아주 적은 손상과 정상적인 간세포의 구조를 가지고 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과 B. adolescentis SPM0212 균주는 건강 유지를 위한 기능성 식품뿐만 아니라 제노바이오틱스나 B형 간염 바이러스로 부터 간을 보호하기위한 프로바이오틱스로 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Scoparia dulcis L. is widely used in the traditional system of medicine for treating liver ailments. In the present study the terpenoids and terpenoid fractions isolated from 1:1:1 petroleum ether, diethyl ether and methanol (PDM) extract of Scoparia dulcis L. were tested for their in vitro 1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Selected samples from the assay were further tested for their in vitro hepatoprotective activity against $CCl_4$ induced hepatotoxicity in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. In the in vitro antioxidant study, fractions 7, 11, 13, 14, and 15 and PDM extract show the DPPH radical scavenging activity. The phytochemical screening of all these fractions show the presence of terpenoids. In the in vitro hepatoprotective study all these fractions and the PDM extract significantly prevent the $CCl_4$ induced changes in the aspartate aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase and alkaline phosphatase levels (p < 0.05). The above results are comparable with the standard, silymarin. The results of the study indicate that, the PDM extract of Scoparia dulcis L. possesses potential hepatoprotective activity and this may be attributed to its free radical scavenging potential, which in turn may be attributed to the presence of terpenoids.

A neutral polysaccharide, GP, was isolated from a fermentation broth of Ganoderma lucidum Acid hydrolysis and a paper chromatography analysis indicated that the polysacchride was composed of glucose, xylose, and mannose. The molecular weight was estimated to be $2.9{\times}10^4$. The oral administration of GP to mice showed that it can inhibit liver damage induced by GalN and $CCl_4$.

Two polysaccharides, ACP-UMP and ACP-ULF, were purified from the aerial part of Artemisia capillaris by anion-exchange chromatography, ultrafiltration, and gel filtration chromatography. The polysaccharides appeared to be homogenious from the results of HPLC. The molecular weights of ACP-UMF and ACP-ULF were estimated to be 16305.92 D and 3292.26 D, respectively, by MALDI-TOF MS. The sugar compositions were determined by GC to be arabinose 10.05%, xylose 1.67%, mannose 5.45G, galactose 39.06%, glucose 15.43% for ACP-UMF and arabinose 11.60%, xylose 11.15%, mannose 6.37% galactose 32.47%, glucose 18.35% for ACP-ULF. A polysaccharide, SP-M was determined to be 2462.52 D by MALDI-TOF MS. SP-M consisted mainly of rhamnose 36.49%, arabinose 29.00%, and glucose 19.38%. Incubation of CCl4-intoxicated hepatocytes with ACP-UMF reduced the levels of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and cellular malondialdehyde (MDA) to 62.8% and 23.8%. ACP-ULF also reduced the levels of GPT and MDA to 46.1% and 38.1% and 26.3%, respectively.

The rhizoma of Polygonatum odoratum (Liliaceae) promotes the production of body fluid and relives dryness symptoms and has hypoglycemic effect. In order to evaluate the prevention of lipid peroxidative efficacy of P. odoratum, its extracts (Et$_2$O and MeOH ex.) and its fractions ($H_2O$, 20％ MeOH, 40％ MeOH, 60％ MeOH and 100％ MeOH fr.) were measured by TBARS assay on rat liver S9 and human erythrocyte ghost membrane. The order of anti-lipid peroxidative effect was as follows: Et$_2$O ex. ＞40％ MeOH fr. ＞60％ MeOH fr.＞100％ MeOH fr. Based on these results, we conclude that membrane lipid peroxidation is inhibited in vitro by addition of P. odoratum ether extract and its gradient MeOH fractions excepts $H_2O$ fr., and which have significant hepatoprotective activity in $CCl_4$-treated rats.

The root of Astragalus membranaceus (Leguminosae) has been used in traditional chinese prescriptions for strengthning the superficial resistance, promoting pus discharge and tissue regeneration, diuretis and alleviating edema. Lipid peroxidation has been suggested as a major cause of atherosclerosis, cancer, liver disease, and the aging process. In order to investigate the anti-lipid peroxidation activity, Astragali Radix was extracted with $80\%$ MeOH and fractionated with hexane, $CH_{2}Cl_2$, EtOAc, BuOH and Water. The antilipid peroxidation activities of them were determined by human erythrocyte ghost and $CCl_4$-induced lipid peroxidation. $CH_{2}Cl_2$ and EtOAc fractions, especially, isoflavonoids, 7,2'-dihydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxyisoflavan-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside and calyco sin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside from EtOAc fraction showed anti-lipid peroxidation activities.

간 섬유화에서 fat-storing cell의 변화를 미세 구조학적 측면에서 관찰하고자, 사염화탄소를 mineral oil에 녹여 1 : 1로 회석한 후 Kg당 0.5 ml의 용량을 주 2회씩 12주간 흰쥐에 복강 주입하였다. 실험기간 동안 1주 간격으로 도살하고, 적출된 간조직을 광학현미경과 연역조직화학적 검사 및 전자현미경으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 광학현미경적 소견상 소엽 중심주의 염증 반응 및 세포 침윤 현상은 사염화탄소 투여 후 1주부터 나타나서 4주 째 가장 심하였으며, 이시기에 desmin염색 반응 양성세포의 수도 증가되었다. 괴사 및 섬유화는 2주부터 나타나기 시작하여 6주부터 결절이 형성되기 시작하였고 괴사성 병변은 8주까지 지속되었다. 그러나 세포 침윤 정도는 감소되면서 desmin에 대한 반응성도 낮아졌고, 경변성 변화는 10주 이후부터 나타났다. 전자현미경적 소견상 fat-storing cell의 숫적 증가는 1주부터 관찰되었으며 지방적이 감소하고 rER이 팽창된 이행세포는 2주째 출현하여 4주에 가장 현저히 증가되었다. 섬유아세포는 3주부터 나타나기 시작하였는데, rER이 확장되었으며 지방적은 없거나 1-2개의 소적이 세포돌기에서 관찰되었다. 섬유화가 진행됨에 따라 이행세포 및 fat-storing cell은 감소하고 섬유아세포는 증가된 상태를 유지하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 fat-storing cell은 간섬유화 과정에서 활성화되고 증식하여 형태학적으로 이행세포 및 섬유아세포로 전환함으로써, 정지상태에 있는 섬유아세포의 전구체로서 간섬유화에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다.

녹차카테킨(GTC)의 항산화 작용을 알아보고자 in vitro와 in vivo에서 지질과산화와 superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase 활성에 미치는 영향에 대한 실험을 행하였다. In vitro 시험계에서의 항산화활성 실험결과, GTC는 peroxide value와 과산화지질 생성을 유의성 있게 억제시켰고, SOD 활성이 매우 높았다. 또한 GTC를 rat에 경구투여 한 후 항산화활성실험 결과, GTC는 $CCl_4$로 유도된 rat의 간 microsome의 지질과산화를 유의성 있게 억제시켰으며, SOD와 catalase 활성을 유의성 있게 증가시켰다. 따라서 GTC는 암과 노화의 예방과 관련이 되는 항산화 활성이 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Propolis is a lipophilic, natural product prepared by mixing the exudates collected from various plants by honeybees with beeswax for the purpose of using to seal hive walls and to strengthen the borders of combs. Because of its versatile bioactivities, propolis has been attracting many investigators'interest. But the pharmacological studies on propolis has, to date, been exclusively performed for an alcohol extract, there is few information of water extract. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the various effects of water extract of Chinese propolis. The water extract of propolis and its fractions of organic solvents showed strong antioxidative activities, especially ether and ethylacetate fractions, and reduced the lipid peroxidation of rat liver in viro. Additionally the ether fraction of propolis (10 mg/ml) inhibited the activity of hyaluronidase by 50%. In vivo, the water extract of propolis considerably decreased s-GOT, s-GPT and s-LDH activities which represent for the hepatotoxicity induced by $CCl_4$ in rats, and prolonged the MST (Medium revival tinge) and ILS (Increasing in MST over control) by 18% in mice which inoculated with sarcoma 180 ascites cells. These results suggest that the water extract of propolis has various bioactivities as well as the alcohol extract.
