Several authors reported that vegetable proteins cause to decrease serum cholesterol and reported the effect of limiting amino acid balance in dietary protein on the blood component. This study was designed to observe growth rate and blood component in 1% cholesterol-fed male rats intake pure isolated soy proteins and methionine for 4 weeks. The diets were supplemented with either 20% casein or isolated soy protein as dietary protein sources and methionine as limiting amino acid of isolated soy protein and casein protein. The results were as follows; 1) The body weight gain was the greatest in casein groups. 2) Serum total cholesterol concentration was significantly increased by casein groups and slightly decreased by isolated soy protein groups. 3) Serum HDL-cholesterol concentration was significantly increased by isolated soy protein groups than control group. 4) Serum total lipid and triglyceride concentrations were significantly decreased by isolated soy protein groups than control group. 5) Serum glucose concentration was significantly increased by isolated soy protein plus 0.8% methionine than control group. 6) Serum total protein and albumin concentrations were significantly increased by all experimental diets groups than control group. Especially, casein groups were the most increased in all experimental diets groups.

One of the cardinal findings of the renal diseases is proteinuria, which appears in the early phase of kidney diseases and is very important in diagnosis, prognosis and decision making in the treatment process and results of the treatment. The study subjects were 126 patients who visited the nephrology department of Kangbuk Samsung Hospital. Serum was requested for urine protein electrophoresis. Total protein was measured with Bayer Advia 1650 (Biuret). Quantitation of each fraction was done by multiplying the percentage of each fraction by the total protein. Serum creatinine and BUN were also measured with Bayer Advia 1650 (Jaffe and Urease). Serum protein EP was done with REP(rapid electrophoresis) using Helena Kit reagents (REP Ultra SPE Kit, Ponceau S stain, Acetic acid, Methanol, EP Control). Concentrated urine was used for urine protein EP. The SPSS package was used for statistics analysis. Percentage and quantitation of the level of albumin in renal diseases were significantly lower than those in healthy controls. Total protein was correlated with albumin. In terms of proportion, ${\alpha}1$-globulin, ${\alpha}2$-globulin, ${\beta}$-globulin, and ${\gamma}$-globulin fractions were increased in the disease group. But, in the quantified level, ${\alpha}2$-globulin was increased and ${\beta}$-globulin and ${\gamma}$-globulin were decreased. ESRD patients showed an increased secretion of high molecular proteins in urine protein EP. A decreased level in serum total protein correlated with the decreased level of serum albumin and the total amount of urine total protein. This study revealed the variety in the level of serum and urine proteins and their subgroups by EP.

This study was designed to examine how dietary protein levels affect organ growth and protein metabolism in early and normally weaned rats. Early and normally weaned rats separated fro the dam on the 15th and 121st day postpartum, respectively. were fed diets containing three levels of protein : low(10%) , normal (20%),and high(40%) . On the 35th day, the weight and DNA, RNA and protein contents in brain , liver, and kidney were determined to ascertain organ and cellular growth. Furthermore, serum total protein , albumin , $\alpha$-amino N and creatine and urinary urea N, and creatinine were determined in order to ascertain protein metabolism and renal functions. Dietary protein levels were not observed to significantly affect total DNA content, which may represent an index of cell number in the liver, brain and kidney. Fresh weight and protein/DNA ratio, which may represent indices of cell size, significantly increased in proportion to dietary protein in the kidney. As for the early weaned rats , the liver cell size significantly decreased. Dietary protein levels and weaning periods did not affect serum total protein and albumin . However, serum urea-N significantly increased in proportion to dietary protein levels whereas serum $\alpha$-amino N was decreased by early weaning . Nitrogen retention was lower in early weaned rats fed low or high levels of protein than in normally weaned rats. The results demonstrate that low or high levels of dietary protein have less desirable effects on protein metabolism in prematurely weaned rats.

단백식이조건을 달리하여 성장시킨 동물에 $CCl_4$를 투여하였을 때 혈청중 lipoprotein 분획비의 변동 및 이의 원인을 검토할 목적으로 흰쥐를 저단백식이(7% casein : LP) 및 고단백식이 (20% casein : HP)로 성장시킨 후, 50% $CCl_4$(v/v in olive oil)를 복강내 주사한 다음 간 중량 및 혈청 ALT 활성도 측정으로 간손상을 확인함과 동시에, 혈청지질과 혈청 lipoprotein 분획비를 측정하였다. $CCl_4$투여시 체중 당 간무게 및 혈청중 ALT의 활성도는 대조군에 비해 증가하였으며 그 증가율은 HP군이 LP군보다 더 높게 나타났다. 혈청중 총지질, 총 cholesterol 및 triglyceride의 함량은 대조군간에 별다른 차이를 관찰할 수 없었으나, $CCl_4$투여로 인해 이들 지질은 대조군에 비해 감소하였으며, 그 감소율은 HP군이 LP군보다 높게 나타났다. $CCl_4$투여로 인한 lipoprotein분획비의 변동은 대조군에 비하여 양군 공히 pre $\beta$-lipoprotein비율 및 $\alpha$-lipoprotein 비율은 감소되었고, 그 감소율은 HP군이 LP군에 비해 더 크게 나타났다. 한편 $\beta$-lipoprotein비율은 $CCl_4$투여로 인하여 두군 공히 증가하였으며 그 증가율은 HP군에서 높게 나타났다. 이상의 실험결과와 문헌상의 지견을 종합해 볼때 $CCl_4$투여시 LP군에 비하여 HP군에서 간손상이 보다 더 심하게 나타나며, 이로 인하여 apoprotein의 합성억제현상이 초래됨으로써 혈청중 lipoprotein분획비의 변동이 높게 나타날 것으로 생각된다.

모든 진핵세포에 존재하며 세포의 성장 및 분화에 주로 관계되는 신호전달물질의 하나인 Mitogen-activated protein(MAP)kinase의 mitogen에 의한 핵내 활성화와 기질 인산화에 대해 알아보기 위해 본 실험을 수행하였다. P388세포를 10% fetal bovine serum이 첨가된 DMEM배지에 배양한 후, 혈청이 들어있지 않은 배지에서 24시간 더 배양하고 serum 및 PMA를 농도별로 처리하여 세포성 장을 위한 최적 농도를 확인한 결과 serum은 5-20% 농도에서 세포성장을 촉진시켰고 PMA는 실험한 모든 농도에서 세포성장을 거의 촉진시키지 못하는 경향을 확인하였다. 이어 P388 세포를 serum 및 PMA로 10 분간 활성화하여 파쇄한후 세포질분획과 핵분획으로 분리하여 각 분획을 10% gel 상에서 전기영동 하여 nitrocellulose paper에 옳긴 후 anti-ERKI antibody를 이용해 확인해본 결과 serum, PMA로 처리된 세포 모두에서 MAP kinase의 핵내 이동이 관찰되었으며 특히 세포질 내에 주로 존재하는 42, 44 Kd의 MAP kinase isoform중 42 Kd의 isoform이 주로 핵내로 이동되는 것이 관찰되었다. MAP kinase의 기질인산화 실험을 위해 serum으로 활성화시킨 세포를 파쇄하여 SP-sephadex C-50, Phenyl superose, Mono Q column의 순서로 chromatography를 시 행하여 MAP kinase를 부분분리 하였다. 이와 같이 얻은 MAP kinase를 가지고 면역 T세포에 존재하는 tyrosine kinase인 $p56^{lck}$ 의 N-terminal peptide로 구성된 GST-fusion protein에 대한 인산화를 확인하였다. 또한 세포에서 분리한 MAP kinase를 가지고 transcription factor의 하나인 c-Jun protein에 대한 인산화실험을 실시한 결과 MAP kinase에 의해 인산화 됨이 확인되었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 P388세포는 (1)세포 성장시 외부 신호를 G-protein-coupled receptor/protein kinase C/MAP kinase의 경로보다는 주로 tyrosine kinase receptor protein/Ras/MAP kinase의 경로를 이용하여 핵으로 전달하는 것으로 추측되 며 (2) mitogen의 처리로 활성화된 MAP kinase중 주로 42 Kd isoform이 핵내로 이동하고, 분리한 MAP kinase가 GST-fusion protein과 transcription factor인 c-Jun을 모두 인산화 시키는 결과로 보아 MAP kinase의 isoform에 따라 표적 compartment가 다르고 결과적으로 표적 기질에 차이가 있을지 모른다고 간접적으로 추론할 수 있다.

This study was performed to determine the effect of maternal protein intake on 1) the concentration of immune substances in milk 2) degree of passive immunity to pups via lactation, and 3) specific antibody production to a specific antigen, $\beta$-lactoglobulin(BLG). 4) the effect of passive immunity that pups received from mother during lactation on the production of antibodies when the pups were challenged to the same antigen. Part of the female rats were immunized with BLG before and during pregnancy. The pregnant rats were placed into either 25% or 10% isolated soy protein diet throughout gestation and lactation. After weaning, pups from each group continued to be fed the same diet. At 18 weeks of age, all the pups were challenged with BLG. Total IgA and IgG, lysozyme, BLG-specific IgA and IgG were measured in dam's serum, dam's milk, and pup's serum. Total IgG, and lysozyme in dam's serum and milk were higher in high protein group. Total IgA and IgG in pup's serum remained higher in high protein group from 5 to 18 weeks of age. BLG-specific antibodies were found in the milk and serum of immunized dams, and in serum of pups born to immunized dams but not in the non-immunized group. BLG-specific IgA and IgG were again higher in high protein group and declined with time. The concentration decreased faster in the low proetein group than in the high protein groups. After immunization the pups with LBG, serum BLG-specific antibodies were not differ between rats born to immunized dams and those born to non-immunized dams. Therefore passive immunity rats received via milk as a pup had no effect on the BLG-specific antibody production later in life. This study shows the importance of protein status of mother and strongly support to the endorsement of breast feeding.

Arbor Acres broiler chickens (N=288) with an average initial weight of 59.4 g were fed diets varying in protein and lysine (80, 100, 120% of NRC; 100, 120% of NRC, 1984) in order to investigate the effects of supplemental chromium picolinate on growth performance, nutrient utilizability, carcass composition, serum traits and in vitro protein synthesis. Six replicates of eight chicks were grouped into one treatment Six chicks were sacrificed from each treatment for carcass analysis, and six additional chicks were chosen and dissected for in vitro culture of liver tissue. Body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, mortality, carcass composition and serum glucose, HDL/cholesterol ratio, serum triglyceride and serum nonesterified fatty acid appeared to be affected by either the level of dietary crude protein or lysine when supplemented with 200 ppb chromium picolinate (p < 0.05). Retained and secreted proteins in liver acinar cell cultured in vitro were not affected by dietary lysine level but affected by dietary protein level when added with 200 ppb chromium picolinate.

In order to investigate the antiotoxic effect of red ginseng extract on serum protein of mouse treated with methyl mercury playing a role as toxic contaminant in ecosystem, variations of the serum protein contents, electrophoretic patterns, and blood components were studied. Mice were divided into 3 groups: Control, group I treated only with methyl mercury, and group II treated together with methyl mercury and red ginseng extract. The total serum protein content of the control group was 5.8g/dl and those of groups I and II were slightly decreased as compared with the control. The control group showed 11 serum protein fractions and groups I and II showed 10 fractions except prealbumin. The amounts of albumin, ${\alpha}_1-$, ${\alpha}_2-$ globulin fractions were decreased and those $\beta$-, $\gamma$-globulin fractions were increased in groups I and II. The amount of each serum protein fraction in group II showed approximately the same level as the control. The hematocrit value and the number of white blood cells of groups I and II were increased, whereas the number of red blood cells showed the decrease as compared with the control.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of dietary sources of fatty acids and protein on serum protein profiles, hepatic functional enzyme activities, mammary tumor incidence and tumor weight in 7, 12-dimethylbenz($\alpha$)anthracene (DMBA)-treated rats. The sources of dietary fatty acids were 18n6 (rich in linoleic acid), 18n3 (rich in linolenic acid) and 22n3 (rich in DHA) : sources of dietary protein were casein (C) and soy protein isolate (S). mammary tumors (MTs) were chemically induced by DMBA (9 mg/100 g body weight) which was gastrically intubated at 7 weeks of age. Each experimental diet was given for the following 25 weeks. Casein-fed rats (group C) exhibited significantly higher levels of weight gain and FER (food efficiency ratio) than did group S. Group C showed higher levels of serum protein and globulin, and higher albumin/globulin (A/G) ratios than group S. Liver functional enzyme activities (GOT, GPT, ALP, LDH, $\gamma$-GT) and LDH/GOT ratios were not influenced by dietary protein. GPT activity was lower in the group given 18n3, and ALP activity was lower in the group given 18n6. The incidence and total number of MTs appeared to be lower in the group given 22n3 than in the group given 18n3 or 18n6, even though the average weight of MTs was highest in the group given 22n3, The average weight of MTs was higher in the C group than in the S group. MT incidence had a positive correlation with LDH activity and LDH/GOT ratio. The average weight of MTs had a negative correlation with serum albumin levels and A/G ratios, and a positive correlation with ALP activity. This research suggests that the measurement of serum protein profiles and liver functional enzyme activities may be utilized to monitor the development of mammary tumors.

단백질의 종류 및 급여수준이 고콜레스테롤혈증 흰쥐의 체내 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 구명학자 1% 콜레스테롤과 0.25%의 콜산나트륨을 첨가하여 고콜레스테롤 혈증을 유도토록 조제한 실험식이에 대두단백질과 카제인의 공급수준을 달리하여 급여하고 혈청내 지질대사를 관찰하였다. 혈중 총지질 함량은 콜레스테롤 투여시 정상군에 비해 유의적으로 증가되었으며 단백질 급여로 증가가 억제되는 것으로 나타났으며 대두단백질이 더 유의적으로 억제되었다. 트리글리세라이드는 콜레스테롤 투여군이 정상군에 비해 유의적으로 증가되었으며 단백질 급여로 증가가 억제되었으며, 단백질의 종류에 따른 차이는 관찰되지 않았고 인지질 함량은 콜레스테롤 투여군이 정상군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었다. 총 콜레스테롤 함량과 유리 콜레스테롤 함량은 정상군에 비해 골레스테롤 투여군 모두에서 유의적으로 증가되었으며, 카제인 급여군에 비해 대두단백 급여시 유의적으로 증가가 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. VLDL- 및 LDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 정상군에 비해 콜레스테롤 투여시 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 단백질 급여 수준이 증가할수록 그 증가가 억제되는 것으로 나타난 반면, HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 콜레스테롤 투여로 인해 유의적으로 감소되었으며 대두단백질이 카제인에 비해 감소 정도가 유의적으로 억제되었다. 이상의 결과에서 단백질의 종류와 급원이 지질함량에 영향을 미치므로써 고콜레스테롤 혈증을 예방·치료하기 위하여 단백 급여, 특히 대두단백 급여가 중요한 요인으로 작용할 것을 사료된다.
