Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is known to contain water-soluble substances that improve antioxidant status due to the richness in antioxidants. Greenhouse experiment was carried out under different shading conditions during spring lettuce growing season. Shade significantly reduced shoot weight, number of leaves and chlorophyll content, while it increased shoot length of lettuce plants. The antioxidant potential of the individual fraction was in order of n-butanol > ethyl acetate > water > n-hexane fraction, although was less than that of commonly used antioxidants, BHT and ascorbic acid. Fractions from lettuce plants dose-dependently increased DPPH free radical scavenging activity, in vitro test. By means of HPLC analysis, BuOH fraction of cultivar 'Hwahyang' (57.93 mg $100g^{-1}$) had the highest amount of antioxidant chi orogenic acid. Shading treatment increased average amount of chlorogenic acid of all cultivars in BuoH, EtOAc, hexane and water fractions by 33, 120, 144, and $58\%$, respectively. These results suggest that lettuce plants had potent antioxidant activity, and their activities were differently exhibited depending on cultivar and fraction.

Amphora coffeaeformis and Achnanthes longipes are commonly found as dominant benthic microalgae in Jeju coastal water throughout the year. In order to investigate pharmaceutical uses of these diatoms, each single species was isolated with micropipette under phase contrast microscope and subcultured with synthetic seawater media which was enriched with F/2 media, trace metal solution and $Na_2SiO_3$). Growth characteristics of these species were also determined with different combination of salinity, nutrients concentration and temperature. Thereafter, mass culture of each species was done based on the maximum growth condition. Biomass was collected after two weeks of mass culture and freeze dried for antioxidant study. The antioxidant properties of different fractions (n-hexane, chloroform and ethylacetate) obtained by solvent fractionation of 80% methanolic extract of two microalgae were investigated for free radical, reactive oxygen species scavenging (Super oxide, Hydrogen peroxide, Hydroxyl radical and Nitric oxide), metal chelating and lipid peroxidation inhibition activities. All fractions of A. longipes showed higher $DPPH^{\cdot}$ (free radical) scavenging activities (n-hexane: 89.0%, Chloroform: 76.0%, Ethylacetate: 66.0%, Methanol: 90.6% and aqueous residue: 63.0%). N-hexane fraction of A. longipes showed significantly higher activity (49.0%) on nitric-oxide. Ethylacetate fraction of A. longipes and aqueous residue of A. coffeaeformis exhibited 64.0% and 75.6% metal chelating activity which was higher than commercial antioxidants (${\alpha}$-tocopherol: 18.0% and BHT: 16.0%). The n-hexane fraction of A. coffeaeformis had 67.5% activity on $DPPH^{\cdot}$. Chloroform and n-hexane fractions of A. coffeaeformis exhibited 46.2% and 47.6% $H_2O_2$ scavenging effects which were closely similar to commercial antioxidants (${\alpha}$-tocopherol: 49.2% and BHT: 58.6%). Chloroform and ethylacetate fractions of A. longipes and fraction of n-hexane and chloroform of A. coffeaeformis showed better lipid peroxidation activities than ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. These data suggest that both organic and aqueous fractions have good antioxidative compounds with different antioxidant properties.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of wheat bran on the promotion of hair growth. When rat vibrissa follicles were treated with n-hexane fraction of wheat bran, the hair-fiber lengths of the vibrissa follicles significantly increased. Moreover, n-hexane fraction of wheat bran was found to significantly induce the telogen-anagen transition in C57BL/6 mice. The fraction increased the proliferation of immortalized vibrissa dermal papilla cells (DPCs) in a dose dependent manner. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms in relation to proliferation of DPCs by the fraction of wheat bran, we examined the expression of cell cycle proteins and wnt/${\beta}$-catenin signaling components. Western blot analysis revealed that the proliferation of DPC by n-hexane fraction of wheat bran was accompanied by increased the level of cyclin D1, cyclin E, phospho-CDK2 and phospho-pRB. In addition, the fraction of wheat bran increased the level of phospho(ser552)-${\beta}$-catenin, phospho(ser675)-${\beta}$-catenin and phospho(ser9)-GSK$3{\beta}$. These results suggest that the hair growing potential of wheat bran mediated by proliferation of DPCs via the regulation of cell cycle proteins and Wnt/${\beta}$-catenin signaling.

본 연구에서는 in vitro에서 모과의 항산화 활성을 평가하기 위하여 용매별 분획물의 항산화능을 검토하였다. 모과에탄올 추출물의 수율은 9.23%이었고, 이를 n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, n-butanol, water로 계통 분획한 수율은 water분획물이 1.52%로 가장 높았으며 그 다음으로 ethylacetate 분획물 1.46%의 순이었다. 모과 에탄을 추출물의 총 flavonoid 함량은 $0.331{\pm}0.021\;mg/mL$이었고, 각 분획물의 총 flavonoid 함량은 n-hexane 분획 물이 $0.653{\pm}0.046mg/mL$로 가장 많이 검출되었다. 모과 에탄올 추출물의 총 polyphenol 함량은 0.279mg/mL이었고, 각 분획물중 n-hexane 분획물이 $0.712{\pm}0.017\;mg/mL$로 가장 많이 함유된 것으로 나타났다. In vitro에서 모과 분획물별 항산화 효과를 측정하기 위해 DPPH radical에 대한 자유기 소거능을 측정 한 결과 n-hexane 분획물이 $27.3{\mu}g/mL$로 가장 강한 항산화 활성을 나타내었으며, 이는 양성 대조군인 합성 항산화제 BHT의 $26.5{\mu}g/mL$와 유사한 전자공여능을 나타냈다. 또한 rancimat으로 측정한 항산화지수도 n-hexane 분획물이 BHT와 유사한 수치를 나타냈으며, 지질과산화물 생성 억제효과도 n-hexane 분획물이 62.5%로 가장 항산화력이 우수하였다. 또한 본 연구팀은 in vivo에서 모과 에탄을 추출물의 항산화 효과를 관찰하였는데, 모과에탄을 추출물과 알코올을4주간 경구 투여한 후 흰쥐의 간 조직 손상에 대한 보호효과를 검토한 결과 알코올 투여로 증가된 유리기 해독계 효소인 superoxide dismutase, catalase 및 glutathione peroxidase 활성은 억제시키고, glutathione 함량은 증가시켰으며 지질과산화물 함량을 저하시켰다. 따라서 모과는 알코올 투여로 손상된 간조직의 보호에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이라는 가능성을 제시해 주었다(32). 이상의 실험결과 모과에탄올 추출물은 in vivo와 in vitro 연구 모두에서 항산화 효과를 나타내었으며, 이는 모과가 우수한 천연 항산화제로서의 개발가능성을 제시해 주었다.

Antioxidant activity of a methanol extract of Symphyocladia latiuscula was evaluated by the thiocyanate method in the linoleic acid system. The methanol extract inhibited the peroxidation of linoleic acid in a dose-dependent manner. The MeOH extract was then sequentially partitioned with n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, n-BuOH and H20. The antioxidant activity of the fractions increased in order of $CH_2Cl_2$, n-hexane, EtOAc, and n-BuOH. There was no activity found in $H_2O$ partitoned fraction by the thiocyanate method. Especially, the activities of the fractions of n-hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$ were comparable to that of 2,6-di-tert­butylhydroxytoluene (BHT). Column chromatography of the $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction over silica gel yielded cholesterol (1) and 2,3,6-tribromo 4,5-dihydroxybenzyl methyl ether (2) which were identified by instrumental analysis of MS and $^1H-$ and $^{13}C-NMR$. The latter (2) demonstrated significant antioxidant activity.

Saccharina japonica is a family member of Phaeophyceae (brown macro-alga) and extensively cultivated in China, Japan and Korea. Here, the potential anti-cancer effect of n-hexane fraction of S. japonica was evaluated in SK-Hep1 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. The N-hexane fraction reduced cell viability and increased the numbers of apoptotic cells in a both dose- and time-dependent manner. Apoptosis was activated by both caspase-dependent and independent pathways. The caspase-dependent cell death pathway is mediated by cell surface death receptors and activated caspase-8 amplified the apoptotic signal either through direct activation of downstream caspase-3 or pro-apoptotic proteins (Bad, Bax and Bak) subsequently leading to the release of cytochrome c. On the other hand, caspase-independent apoptosis appeared mediated by disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential and translocation of AIF to the nucleus where they induced chromatin condensation and/or large-scale DNA fragmentation. In addition, the n-hexane fraction induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress and cell cycle arrest. The results suggested that potential anti-cancer effects of n-hexane extract from S. japonica on SK-Hep1 cells.
