The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of green tea catechins (GTC) on the lipid peroxidation and superoxide dismutase (SOD). GTC showed the high SOD activity, while significantly inhibited the peroxide value of linoleic acid (93%) and lipid petoacidation (84%) from rat liver microsomal fraction induced by Fe^(2+)/ascorbate system. The effects of GTC on the SOD and catalase activities, and lipid peroxidation after oral administration were investigated. GTC (50 mg/kg) significantly increased SOD (62%) and catalase activities (75%), while significantly inhibited the lipid peroxidation (52%) of rat liver microsome in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that GTC has the antioxidative effect which is related to the prevention of aging and cancer.

This paper describes the structural behavior of insulated concrete wall panels with EPS insulation. That panels reinforced with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) truss shear connector to achieve composite action of inner and outer concrete wythes. Main test variables are FRP cross section, width and picth. According to the test result, the shear capacity of increased due to reinforced with FRP truss shear connector. And width 12, 18 mm shear connector need more than 30 mm experiments about reclamation deep.
