The GUE6 was isolated from ethyl acetate fraction of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and confirmed as liquiritin. Liquiritin(LQ) treated with ${\beta}$-glucosidase from plant(Prunus dulcis) and bacteria(Lactobacillus pentosus) crude enzymes. The ${\beta}$-glucosidase activities of crude enzymes were 229.8 U/g(Prunus dulcis) and 19.17 U/ml(Lactobacillus pentosus), respectively. Liquiritin(LQ) biotransformed into liquiritigenin(LQG) by ${\beta}$-glucosidase from crude enzymes. The EtOAc fraction(GUE6) and the converted product were identified as liquiritin and liquiritigenin, by TLC chromatogram, $^{1}H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR.

After the glycolipid(GL) and phospolipid (PL) of flint corn during a growth process were fractionated by silicic acid column chromatography (SACC), the GL and PL of polar lipids were separated by thin layer chromatography (TLC)and quantitative by TLC scanner and the fatty acid composition in polar lipids were determined by gas chromatography (GC). Of the GL in polar lipids were separated by TLC, monoglycosyl diacylglycerol (8.3~29.2%) was the major component, and monoglycosyl ceramide, monoglycosyl sterol were also found as minor components. Of the PL, phosphatidyl choline (27.2~29.5%) and phosphatidyl inositol (42.9~79.1%) were the major components, and phosphatidyl ethanolamine and cardiolipin were also persont in the PL. The major fatty acids in the GL were oleic(27.1~37.1%), linoleic (13.2~35.7%) and palmitic (22.5~25.6%) acids. The major fatty acids in the PL were palmitic (46.5~52.3%), heptadecanoic (23.0~25.1%) and oleic(7.2~14.6%) and GL contained a higher percentage of unsa-turated fatty acids, but PL presented that of the saturated fatty acids.

The objective of this study was to observe the effect of dietary calcium(Ca) level on colonic mucosal levels of cell proliferation, 1, 2-diacylglycerol(DAG), TXB2, PGE2 and phospholipid fatty acid composition which have been known as biomarkers for colon cancer. One hundred male Sprague Dawley rats, at 7 weeks of age, were divided into two fat type groups. Each group of which was further divided into two Ca level groups. Each rt was intramuscularly injected with 1, 2,-dimenthylhydrazine(DMH) for 6 weeks (total dose of 180mg/kg body weight) and simultaneously fed one of four experimental diets containing 15% dietary fat(corn oil or perilla oil )and 0.3% or 1.0% Ca by weight for 20 weeks. Compared to corn oil, perilla oil significantly reduced cell proliferation by decreasing labeling index, proliferating zone, crypt length in colonic mucosa and colonic mucosa and colonic mucosal levels of DAG, TXB2 . PGE2 and phospolipid (PL) arachidonic acid distribution. The effect of Ca on biomarketrs was different depending on the type of dietary fat comsumed . Ca effect of Ca on biomarkers was different depending on the type of dietary fat comsumed. Ca effect was not significantly shown in the PO group, but it was significant in the CO group in which high Ca(1.0%) decreased the levels of levels of PL-C20 : 4(%), DAG and PGE2 . However , high Ca supplementation had shown only the trends of improving cell proliferation. Overall , high dietary Ca significantly reduced cell proliferation by inhibiting the synthesis of eicosanoid and DAG with reduced distribution of PL-C20 : 4 , which may have resulted in lower activation of PKC through reduced signal transduction. Since a high level of dietary Ca was more effective in reducing the risk factor against colon cancer in corn oil fed rats, it could be suggested that a higher amount of dietary Ca be consumed , especially when more vegetable oil rich in linoleic acid is included in the diet.

The purpose of the study was to find an effect of medium chain triglyceride (MCT)diet on the serum lipids and lipoprotein of Sprague-Dawley rats when the were fed with cholesterol. All experiment-groups were fed with different diet such as soybean oil, shortening,MCT and MCT mixed with oil respectively. After fed to each group, the levels of serum lipids and lipoprotein among fed rats were examined and the data from the experiment were compared with a control group. The results obtained from the study are as follows : (1) The average boby weight gain in MCT diet and soybean oil diet groups were lighter than that of the control group, while the food efficiency ratio in each experimental diet group was almost same as than in the control group. (2) Total cholesterol levels in serum of all experimental diet groups were lower than that of the control group except the level in shortening diet group. Especially, the levels of total cholesterol in MCT diet and soybean oil diet groups were significantly lower than that of the control group. (3) VLDL, LDL-cholesterol levels of all experimental groups were almost same except the case of the MCT diet and soybean oil diet group which was significantly low. (4) The ratio of VLDL, LDL-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol, so called, atherogenic index in serum of MCT and soybean oil diet groups were significantly lower than that of the control group. (5) The ratio of total cholesterol to phospholipids in serum of MCT diet group was decreased, because total cholesterol levels were decreased more than phospolipid levels. (6) The ratio of the serum VLDL, LDL to HDL in MCT diet group. in MCT and soybean oil mixed diet group, and in soybean diet group was decreased. In other wards, it means that the decrease of the serum VLDL, LDL in each group and the increase of the serum HDL.

To study effects of methanol extract of prosomillet on lopid metabolism , five groups of male Sprang-Dawley rats weighing 116$\pm$9 g were fed test diets for four weeks. The five diets consisted of one low fat(5% w/w) diet containing starch as carbohydrate source(normal) and four high fat diets(15% w/w) containing 40.5%(w/w)sucrose(control) and additional 80% nethanol extractof prosomillet at the levels of 0.3% and 1%(w/w) or prosomillet powder at the level of 20%(w/w). Serum level of total cholesterol was a little higher but that of triglyceride was 41% lower in 20% (w/w) prosomillet powder group than in the control group. The cholesterol levels of two Liver cholesterol levels were lower and phospolipid levels higher in all three prosomillet powder group . Fecal excretionof bile acid was most increased in the prosomillet powder group among all five test groups. Acitivity of liver microsomal 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase was significantly lower in 0.3% methanol extract fed group than the control and also appeared to be reduced in 1% extract fed one, wherease those of 20 cholesterol 7$\alpha$-hydroxylase were not different among the five groups. Activities of liver cytosilic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PDH) and malic enzyme were decreased in 0.3% prosomillet methanol extract and 20% powder groups. The results indicate that in addition to fiber, certain active components in prosomillet have potential to exert hypolipidemic effects via regulating hepatic cholesterogenesis and lipogenesis.

Cladosporium fulvum, Aspergillus ochraceus, Aspergillus terreus and N-1 (unidentified species) were cultured on the artificial media containing sucrose as a carbon source at 20, 25 and $30^{\circ}C$ for 10 to 12 days. The lipids in the felts were extracted with chloroform-methanol mixture and the class composition and fatty acids of the lipid were determined. The summarized results are as follows 1. The average felts produced by each species per 100 ml of media were $3.82{\pm}0.30g$ for Cl. fulvum, $2.62{\pm}0.23g$ for Asp. ochraceus, $4.24{\pm}0.25g$ for Asp. terreus and $4.62{\pm}0.10g$ for N-1. Their crude fat contents $27.5{\pm}1.61%,\;50.47{\pm}1.00%,\;46.6{\pm}1.59%$ and 33.78 % and the fat coefficient 6.92, 8.88, 13.01 and 10.28, respectively. 2. The lipids produced by these species were mainly composed of triglyceride and the next free fatty acid in Cl. fulvum and N-1 and phospholipid Asp. ochraceus and Asp. terreus. 3. The major fatty acids of the lipids were in order of oleic, palmitic, linoleic and stearic acids in Asp. ochraceus, Asp. terreus and Cl. fulvum and linoleic, palmitic, oleic and stearic acid in N-1. The total percentage contents of these major fatty acids were over 98 % the former and over 95 % the latter. 4. The constituent fatty acids of the lipid were changed depending on the incubation temperature but hardly found a certain tendency except linoleic acid which was higher at lower temperature. 5. The total percentages of unsaturated fatty acids in the lipids were $50{\sim}60%$ and comparatively higher at lower incubation temperature.
