The possible effects of 10% carbohydrate containting diets on the serum glucose and lipids values were studied with normal and alloxan - diabetic male rats for a period of 28 days. The diets were supplemented with either glucose, cornstarch or sucrose, fructose or the basal diet containing no added carbohy drates. After this period, 3 to 4 rats among the each group were killed and samples of serum, liver, spleen and kidney were collected. The others were rendered diabetic by the intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (190mg/wtkg). Then original feeding scedule was continued for 3 days in all five diabetic groups, before the collection of tissue samples and serum. Feeding the nondiabetic rats with glucose and fructose delayed the bodyweight development relatively compared with nonsugar group. The weight deductions after alloxan injection were similar in all feeding groups. All diabetic animals exhibited increased blood glucose triglceride levels but almost unchanged total cholesterol values. Blood glucose values for nondiabetic rats were normal ranges, and then glucose feeding group was the highest. Total - cholesterol values were the highest in nondiabetic rats fed glucose, fructose and in diabetics fed sucrose, glucose. Triglyceride values were the highest in nondiabetic rats fed sucrose, and no difference in diabetic rats. Some cornstarch group exhibited fatty-livers in diabetic and nondiabetic, and more studies need.

Since the membrane distillation (MD) has attached to anaerobic fermentation (AF) process, all suspended solid contents including acetogenic and methanogenic microorganism can be retained inside the system to expect the more effective degradation of organic matter under operational parameters of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and solid retention time (SRT). In this study, we only focused to monitor the carbohydrate and protein parameters inside the single AF compared to the AF coupled with MD. Synthetic high-strength wastewater was used as a substrate by using the composition of 99 g glucose/L, 34 g/l NH4HCO3, 60 g yeast extract/L, 3 g KH2PO4/L, and K2HPO4 g K2HPO4/L. HRT was 20 days with feed flowrate of 0.3 L/d. The steady state of single AF and the AF coupled with MD were monitored for 60 days and 30 days, respectively. The configuration of AF coupled with MD used the circulation rate of 1.5 L/min, cross flow velocity of 0.014 m/s, and temperature difference of 30℃. pH changed from 7.6 in the single AF to 8.2 in the AF coupled with MD. The wastewater quality was analyzed everyday according to total carbohydrate, soluble carbohydrate, total protein, and soluble protein in the influent and effluent of both reactors. The average removal of total and soluble carbohydrate in the single AF were 98.4% and 97%, respectively. The average removal of total carbohydrate in the AF coupled with MD was 98% (in the effluent AF) and the average rejection was 97.8% (in the effluent MD as permeate). The average removal of soluble carbohydrate in the AF coupled with MD was 95% (in the effluent AF) and the average rejection was 97.5% (in the effluent MD as permeate). For the single AF, the average increased of total protein was 86% while the average removal of soluble protein was 42%. The average total protein in the AF coupled with MD increased to 75.6% in AF and the average rejection was 99.7% in the effluent MD. Furthermore, the average soluble protein in the AF coupled with MD increased to 87.7% in AF and the average rejection was 97% in the effluent MD. After attaching MD to AF, the hydrolysis microbial biomass changed by reducing the concentration of total protein and increasing the concentration of soluble protein in the AF process. This effect warrants further investigation which associated with changes in the microbiology in the microbiology or physicochemical aspects.

Background: This study was aimed at evaluating the growth, yield, and carbohydrate content in the whole Allium hookeri plant with shading treatment in hot summer. Methods and Results: Different shading rate, including 0 (control), 35 or 55%, was employed from the June 21st to August 31st. Daily average air and soil temperature, which were approximately 2.5℃ and 3.8℃ lower, respectively, were observed with both 35% and 55% treatments in July and August, with no significant difference in daily maximum air temperature. Dry weights were high, approximately 40% and 48% for the shoot and 20% and 12% for the root, with the 35% and 55% treatments, respectively, 8 weeks after shading. Division number was increased by 13% and 19.8% with the 35% and 55% treatments, respectively. The mortality rates of 150 plants were 9.1%, 4.0%, and 1.3% with the 0 (control), 35% and 55% treatments, respectively. At 4 weeks after shading, the highest and lowest sucrose levels in both shoot and root were observed with the 35% and 55% treatments, respectively. At 8 weeks after shading, there was no significant difference in the sucrose content in the shoot among the treatments. Conclusions: The highest plant growth rate and yield with the 55% treatment may be related with the decrease in both air and soil temperatures, resulting in reducted leaf respiration and thus compensate net photosynthesis.

This study was conducted to evaluate the cytotoxicity and α-amylase, α-glucosidase, pancreatic lipase inhibition in vitro by different solvent fractions from the roots of Codonopsis lanceolata. The values of IC50 against Calu-6 cell showed a high effect in n-hexane fraction (10.13 μg/mL) whereas DW fraction exhibited the weakest inhibition on cell viability, having an IC50 value of over 1,000 μg/mL. The values of IC50 against HCT-116 cell showed the highest activity in n-BuOH fraction (102.01 μg/mL), followed by n-hexane fraction (145.85 μg/mL), methylene chloride fraction (332.02 μg/mL), ethyl acetate fraction (462.93 μg/mL) and DW fracion (>1,000 μg/mL). α-Amylase inhibitory activity in methylene chloride fraction and ethyl acetate fraction was found to have a higher inhibitory effect with 24.5% and 25.6% than the other fractions. The highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was observed from the ethyl acetate fraction extract, while the extract of DW fraction showed the lowest level of inhibitory activity at given experiment concentration. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of C. lanceolata was found to have a higher the effect in ethyl acetate fraction. Inhibition of lipase activity of the ethyl acetate fraction and n-hexane fraction showed a relatively high, while the extract of DW fraction showed the lowest level at given experiment concentration. These results suggested that the roots of C. lanceolata may assist in the potential biological activity on carbohydrate, lipid Inhibitory activity and anticancer activity.

This experiment was carried out to enhance plantlet conversion and ex vitro survival of encapsulated somatic embryos of Siberian ginseng. Cotyledonary somatic embryos were encapsulated with 3.0% sodium alginate and 96% of conversion rate in terms of plantlet with well-developed epicotyl marked when the encapsulated embryos were placed on perlite soils wetted with sucrose solution as for carbon source. However, post-germinative growth of encapsulated embryos was suppressed in case of sucrose did not added. Instead of sucrose alone, the addition of both sucrose and starch to the sodium alginate enhanced the post-germinative growth of the embryos. In sodium alginate matrix with 2% sucrose, the survival rate of the encapsulated embryos was more than twice (23.5%) that of ones without sucrose (10.0%). Embryos encapsulated with both 2% sucrose and 1% starch showed the highest percentage (42.1%) of survival rate was shown. In analysis of Iodine staining and starch content in the sodium alginate matrix, the starch component was decomposed when the embryos started to germinte. This result indicated that the carbohydrate treatments (starch and sucrose) in the encapsulation matrix enhanced the survival rate of post-germinative growth of encapsulated embryos in Siberian ginseng.

The objective of this study was determined to evaluate α-amylase, α-glucosidase, pancreatic lipase inhibition in vitro and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the several Korean resources plants. The α-amylase inhibitory activity of Salicornia herbacea, Erythronium japonicum (flower) and Phragmites communis (root) in water extract showed relatively high 62.8%, 66.5% and 69.3%, respectively. The α-amylase inhibitory activity of Citrus junos (pericarp) and Cornus officinalis in methanol extract was found to have an effect with 32.8% in Citrus junos (pericarp) and 60.9% in Cornus officinalis. Corylopsis coreana in both water and methanol extract had the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 81.7% and 89.5%, while the extract of Portulaca oleracea, Ficus carica and Citrus junos was not measured α-glucosidase inhibitory activity at given experiment concentration. Depending on the extraction solvent and the plant species, it was observed that there was a significant difference in α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity showed relatively higher in the methanol extract than water extract except pericarp of Citrus junos. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of selected plants was much difference between measured plant species, and showed that the increase was proportional to the concentration. These results suggested that selected plants had the potent biological activity on carbohydrate, lipid Inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity, therefore these plant resources could be a good materials to develop medicinal preparations, nutraceuticals or health functional foods for diabetes or obesity.

This study aimed to investigate the optimal enzymatic hydrolysis conditions of alginic acid using Viscozyme® L, Celluclast® 1.5L, Saczyme®, Novozym®, Fungamyl® 800L, Driselase® Basidiomycetes sp., and Alginate Lyase, for production of reducing sugar. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite rotatable design was used to study effects of the independent variables such as enzyme (1-9% v/w), reaction time (10-30 h), pH (3-7) and reaction temperature (30-70oC) on the production of reducing sugar from alginic acid. The coefficients of determination (R2) of Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6, and Y7 for the dependent variable regression equation were analyzed as 0.947 0.968, 0.840, 0.926, 0.923, 0.892 and 0.825. And the p-value of Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6, and Y7 within 1% (p < 0.01) was very significant. The optimal conditions were 1.0% of the quantity of the enzyme, 10.0 hours of the response time, pH 3 and 70.0oC of the reaction temperature, where the production rate was 483.1 mg/g-alginic acid, the highest of all the enzymes used.

Phosphorus (P) is an important structural component and plays critical roles in the process of energy transfer and signal transduction. Effect of low P on carbohydrate metabolism was investigated at the transcription level via transcriptome analysis using the rice 60K oligonucleotide DNA microarrays. Two-week-old rice seedlings were grown under a low (32 μM) or high (320 μM) P condition for two weeks and leaves from the seedlings were used for transcriptome analysis. Expression of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolic pathways (eg. glycolysis, sucrose degradation and starch synthesis and degradation) was most significantly affected under low P. Under low P, most genes involved in glycolysis were intensively down-regulated, genes of starch biosynthesis and degradation pathway were up- or down-regulated, and many genes involved in sucrose biosynthesis were intensively up-regulated. In leaves under low P, glucose and pyruvate levels decreased, but sucrose and starch levels increased. These results suggest that carbohydrate metabolism is adjusted primarily through comprehensive transcriptional modulation of genes involved in the carbohydrate metabolic super-pathway.

Reductions in the ozone column have led to substantial increase in UV-B radiation at the Earth's surface with the amount and intensity dependent on atmospheric and geographic factors. Our objectives were to understand the effect of UV-B radiation on photosynthesis and carbohydrate synthesis of soybean, and to establish an indicator to select resistant soybean cultivar against UV-B radiation. Soybean seeds (cv. Daepungkong) were sown and grown for 4 weeks in an environmentally controlled chamber. UV-B radiation was delivered to plants for four hours, each day, from 10:00 to 14:00 h by five fluorescent UV lamps. A distance of 1 m from lamps to the top of plants was always maintained throughout the experiment. The biologically effective UV-B radiation level was 21.6 kJ m-2 d-1 using the generalized plant responses action spectrum normalized at 300 nm. The damage of soybean leaves was optically observed at the second day of UV-B radiation, and leaf veins were first injured. Photosynthetic rate was reduced after 2 days of UV-B radiation, and, at 5 days, it was a half level (6.3 μmol m-2 s-1) compared with control (12.1 μmol m-2 s-1). UV-B radiation led to the reduction of stomatal conductance around 5 days of treatment. The decrease in stomatal conductance means the reduction of leaf transpiration and the influx of carbon dioxide. Also, the reduction of photosynthetic rate caused an accumulation of the intercellular carbon dioxide. It is suggested that photosynthetic characteristics can be used an indicator to select UV-B-resistant soybean cultivar.
