In order to evaluate the protective effects of galangin on $CCl_4$-induced hepatotoxicity, GOT, GPT and malondialdehyde(MDA) values were measured in ICR mice. Galangin,a flavonoid compound, was administered orally for six days and immediately $CCl_4$ was injected intraperitoneally after the last dose of galangin. Mice were sacrificed at 24h after the administration of $CCl_4$. In the multiple pre-treatments for 6 consecutive days, galangin showed more potent protective effects than silymarin as reference active compound in serum GOT, GPT and MDA values in the liver at all doses tested. Antioxidative activity was determined by measuring the amounts of MDA formed from ethyl linoleate by $H_2O_2$ in vitro. Galangin showed higher inhibition than silymarin. These results demonstrate a possible hepato-protective role of galangin against $CCl_4$-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo and $H_2O_2$-induced lipid peroxidation in vitro. Therefore, galangin may be capable of protecting hepatotoxicity.

Lipid peroxidation (LPO) has been identified as an important component of atherosclerosis. In this study, the effects of supplementation with cholesterol (0.5%), olive oil (5%) and vitamin E (0.05%) on erythrocyte glutathione (GSH), plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), total cholesterol, HDL-LDL cholesterol and triacylglycerol, brain and liver MDA and GSH concentrations of rats were investigated. A total of 50 Sprague-Dawley male rats aged 6 months, and of equal body weight were used and fed a standard ration ad libitum. Animals were housed in the University of Selcuk, Veterinary Faculty Experimental Animals Unit. The experiment lasted 60 days and there were five experimental groups as follows: 1. Control, 2. Cholesterol (0.5%), 3. Olive oil (5%), 4. Cholesterol plus vitamin E (0.05%), 5. Olive oil plus vitamin E (0.05%). At the end of the experiment, blood samples were taken by cardiac puncture and erythrocyte GSH, plasma MDA, cholesterol, HDL-LDL cholesterol, triacylglycerol and also GSH and MDA concentrations in brain and liver tissue of rats were spectrophotometrically determined. Supplementation of olive oil and cholesterol into rat diets (groups 2 and 3) caused significant differences in lipid parameters; HDL cholesterol concentrations were increased in the olive oil group and LDL cholesterol was lower than in the cholesterol fed group. Moreover, these decreases in LDL and triacylglycerol concentrations were more significant with vitamin E supplementation. The high plasma MDA concentrations showed that lipid peroxidation occurred in the olive oil group and the highest brain MDA concentrations were determined also in the olive oil group. These findings suggest that vitamin E addition may decrease the sensitivities of several oils to oxidation and that monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil may decrease the incidence of atherosclerosis by regulating blood lipid profiles.

본 연구는 안정 시 고지방식이 흰쥐의 신장, 간장 그리고 골격근에서 지질과산화와 SOD 단백질 발현에 손바닥 선인장 보충이 미치는 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. SD계 수컷 흰쥐 16마리를 무작위로 대조군(CG, n=8)과 실험군(EG, n=8)으로 분류하였다. 8주 동안 대조군은 고지방식이를 부하하였으며, 실험군은 5% 손바닥선인장을 보충식 이하였다. 본 실험결과, 간장과 신장의 MDA 농도는 EG군이 CG군에 비해 유의하게 낮게 나타났다(p<0.01). 또한 골격근의 MDA 농도도 EG군이 CG군에 비해 높은 경향이 나타났으나, 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. Cu,Zn-SOD 단백질 발현은 신장에서 EG군이 CG군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.01). Mn-SOD 단백질 발현은 골격근에서 EG군이 CG군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.01). 이상의 결과로부터 손바닥선인장 보충이 고지방식이 흰쥐의 지질과산화 억제작용과 SOD단백질 발현이 기관 특이적인 반응의 항산화 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Adriamycin (Doxorubicin HCl)의 혈관밖 유출에 따른 조직의 손상, 특히 피부괴양 및 괴사 기전을 규명하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 흰쥐 피부세포를 이용한 in vitro 실험에서 adriamycin에 의한 산소라디칼 생성 및 그와 관련된 세포독성 기전으로 지질과산화를 검토하였다. Adriamycin은 흰쥐 태자 피부의 배양세포에서 lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) 유리를 용량 및 시간 의존적으로 증가 시켰으며, NADPH 및 NADH 첨가 조건에서 $superoxide\;anion(O^-\;_2{\cdot})$ 생성을 현저히 증가시켰다. Adriamycin은 지질과산화 반응의 척도인 malondialdehyde(MDA) 생성을 역시 NADPH, NADH 존재하에서 용량의존적으로 증가시켰고, 산소라디칼 제거물질들인 superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase 및 thiourea와 항산화물질인 butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT), ${\alpha}-tocopherol$은 MDA 생성증가를 현저히 억제하였다. 1, 3,-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea(BCNU)를 처리하여 산화성 공격에 대한 방어기전의 하나인 glutahione 체계를 억제할 경우 adriamycin에 의한 MDA 생성은 더욱 현저히 증가하였고, 이는 역시 항산화 물질들에 의하여 억제되었다. 이상의 연구성적에서 adriamycin은 산소라디칼 생성의 증가와 그에 따른 지질과산화를 촉진하므로서 피부세포에 손상을 줄 것으로 사료되었다.

제초제 paraquat의주된 독성 기전이 인체내 대사과정중 생성되는 superoxide anion radical $(O_{2-})$에 의한 것이라고 최근 보고된 바, 항산화작용을 갖는 taurine을 가지고 paraquat 독성 경감 효과 및 억제 기전에 관한 실험을 하게 되었으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻게 되었다. 혈액생화학적인자 분석을 종합해 보면 paraquat의 독성 경감효과는 taurine, aloesin, ${\beta}-carotene$ 중 taurine이 가장 우수하였으며, aloesin도 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. In vivo에서 taurine은 혈액생화학적 검사에서 paraquat에 의해 유도된 간독성 지표인 sGPT. sGOT치, 신장독성 지표인 BUN, creatinine치 및 조직 손상의 지표인 ALP, MDA치를 정상으로 회복시켰다. 폐조직중의 MDA량, ALP 활성 및 collagen 량이 정상치로 회복이 되었다. 이로써 taurine은 paraquat의 폐독성 및 각 장기의 독성을 효과적으로 경감 시켜 준다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was intended to investigate the effects of regular swimming exercise and vitamin C supplementation on the antioxidant system following exercise stress. For the swimming exercise experiment, a swimming adaptation exercise of 1 week was given to a group of 6-week-old mice. Following this, a swimming exercise for 8 weeks was conducted. The experimental group was divided into 3: a control group (C), a swimming exercise trained group (T), and a group of swimming + vitamin C supplementation (TC: vitamin supplementation: 1.3 mg/l00 g diet). After the swimming exercise, these group were further divided into those that had received the exercise stress for 2 hours and those that had not experienced exercise stress group. Then, the activities of the superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations were measured. There was a lower weight increase in the T and TC groups than in the C group, and there was no significant difference between T and TC group. When exercise stress was not experienced, the activity of SOD was significantly increased in the TC group than in the T group, but there was no significant difference between C and T groups. The groups that had experienced a 2-hour exercise stress showed the SOD activity levels according to the following order, C < T < TC, with a significant difference between the three groups (p<0.05). There was no difference in MDA concentration amongst the experimental groups in non-exercise stress group. As well, there was no differences in MDA concentration between the C group and T group in the 2 hour exercise stress group. However, the TC group showed a MDA concentration level significantly lower than that of the T group. A significant increase in MDA concentration was observed in C group, when exercise stress was provided with no significant difference in the T and TC groups. As a result, regular exercise and vitamin C supplementation can be considered important in controlling the formation of lipid peroxides in exercise stress.

This study was designed to investigate a natural medicinal multi-plants extract (BG515), which consisted of multi extracts of Mori folium, Rehmannia glutinosa Liboschitz, Dioscorea japonica, Lycii fructus, and Astragalus radix, on blood glucose, insulin levels, and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Streptozotocin (STZ) induces a type 1 diabetes mellitus in rats. Type 1 is usually characterized by the presence of islet cell autoantibodies (ICA), autoantibodies to insulin (IAA), and autoantiboides to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which identify the autoimmune process that leads to $\beta-cell$ destruction. Thirty-five male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats weighing $150\sim170g$ each (6 weeks old) were randomly divided into one control (Group A) and 4 STZ-induced diabetic groups, and were subjected to one of the following treatment for 12 weeks. Groups A and B were fed basal diets and Group C, D, and E received the same diets as groups A and B, but with supplements of 150 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg, and 600 mg/kg of BG515 orally for 12 weeks, respectively. Diabetes was induced in Groups B, C, D, and E by intravenous injection of 45 mg/kg of STZ per body weight in sodium citrate buffer (pH 4.5) via the tail vein. In the BG515 groups, we found increases in serum insulin levels, compared to the STZ-control group, but these data were not significant. In contrast, blood glucose and serum MDA concentrations decreased in the BG515 groups compare to the STZ-control group. At the 5th week, in all the BG515 administered groups, there were decreases in serum blood glucose levels compared to the STZ- control group, and this activity was very strong in the BG515-1 group at the 12th week. These results suggest that natural bio-complex compounds (BG515) may slightly suppress STZ-induced changes in serum MDA concentration via the maintenance of serum insulin levels, due to the prevention of $\beta-cell$ and glucagon destruction by STZ.

The antilipidperoxidative and hepatopreventive effects of Houttuynia cordata extract(HCE) were investigated at the level of liver homogenates and serum of SD rats intoxicated EtOH(3g/kg for 3days). We measured MDA(malondialdehyde) in the live. homogenate, AST(1-aspartate-2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase) and ALT( 1-alanine-2-oxoglutarate aminotransferse) in the serum. The analysis of the measurement indicated that HCE reduced MDA, ALT and AST significantly and their reduction was in relation to dose dependence. In rat liver homogenate intoxicated with EtOH, HCE treatment group inhibited lipidperoxidation by 50-75%. In rat serum intoxicated EtOH, HCE inhibited AST and ALT by 40-70%.

The protective effects of Phaleria macrocarpa (PM) against oxidative stress in diabetic rats were investigated. Diabetes was induced in male Sprague Dawley rats using alloxan (150 mg/kg i.p). After the administration of PM fractions for two weeks the diabetic symptoms, nephropathy and renal antioxidant enzymes were evaluated. The results showed that the oral PM treatments reduced blood glucose levels in diabetic rats. The PM fractions decreased kidney hypertrophy and diminished blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in diabetic rats. Malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation marker, was increased in diabetic animals, but was suppressed by the PM treatments. In addition, the superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, and glutathione (GSH) level in the alloxan-induced diabetic rats were significantly decreased compared with those in the normal rats, but were restored by PM treatments. The PM fractions also suppressed the level of MDA in the kidney. In conclusion, the anti hyperglycemic and anti-nephropathy of P. macrocarpa may be correlated to the increased renal antioxidant enzyme activity in the kidney.
