다시마 분말 첨가식이가 당뇨쥐의 당질과 지질대사 및 항산화효소계에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 SD계 횐쥐에 17% 다시마 분말을 급여하여 7주간 실험 사육한 후 혈청의 포도당 및 지질농도와 주요장기의 항산화효소의 활성도를 관찰하였다. 다시마 당뇨군(TI)에서 다사마 섭취는 당뇨에 의한 체중감소 현상을 보였다. 당뇨군의 혈당 농도는 다시마 섭취에 의한 혈당강하 효과는 3주째에 나타났다. 당뇨에 의한 산화적 스트레스로 인해 증가한 GST 활성도가 다시마 섭취로 인해 정상 수준으로 저하됨으로써 다시마의 섭취가 당뇨시 산화적 반응에 대한 방어기전을 제공할 수 있음을 유추할 수 있었다. 또한 중성지방이 감소하고 HDL-콜레스테롤의 증가하는 경향으로 심혈관계와 관련되는 당뇨합병증의 억제 가능성을 제시하였다.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the cysteine and glutathione on the motility index and morphology of human spermatozoa at the sperm processing in vitro. After treating the sperm with medium containing cysteine and glutathione, we measured the motility index and morphology at 0.5 h and 24 h. 1. Following the sperm culture for 0.5 h after treating the sperm with the medium containing 0, 1, 5, 10 mM cysteine, curvilinear velocity (VCL) was significantly (p<0.05) higher in control than that in all treatments. And straight-line velocity (VSL) was high at 1 mM and average path velocity (VAP) was low at 5 mM and 10 mM. But the motility (MOT) and morphology (NOM) were not different between control and all treatments. Following the sperm culture for 24 h, the MOT was significantly high in treatment groups (58.9, 74.4 and 62.3%), compared with that in control(28.7%) and the VCL was also high in treatment groups (31.4, 37.9, and 34.0 /s), compared with that in control (21.3 /s). The VSL (18.4, 21.7, and 18.9 /s) was significantly higher than control (10.7 /s) and the VAP (20.3, 24.7, and 21.4 /s) in treatments was also compared with that in control (12.6 /s). The NOM was not difference between control and treatments. 2 Following the sperm culture for 0.5 after treating the sperm with the medium containing 0, 1, 5, 10 mM glutathione, the MOT, VCL, VSL, VAP, and NOM were not different between control and treatments. Following the sperm culture for 24 h, the MOT was higher in treatment groups (82.9, 83.6, 83.4%) than in control (51.1%) and the VCL was higher in treatment groups (50.9, 51.3, and 49.4 /s) than control (34.1 /s). The VSL was also higher in treatment (17.1 /s) and the VAP was also higher in treatment groups (30.1, 32.5, and 29.7 /s) than in control (19.8 /s). The NOM was not different between control and treatments.

생쥐에서 카드뮴 전 처리에 의하여 카드뮴의 치사독성이 완화되는지를 조사하고 치사완화 효과와 간 조직내의 glutathione(GSH)함량이 상관성이 있는지를 조사하였다. 치사량의 카드뮴을 주사하기 전에 치사량 이하의 카드뮴을 주사하면 치사량의 카드뮴에 의한 치사작용이 완화되는 효과가 나타났으며 카드뮴의 전 처리의 경과시간은 48시간의 경우에, 전 처리량은 체중 kg당 40μmoles을 주사한 경우에 효과가 가장 좋았다. 카드뮴을 전 처리한 생쥐는

This study was conducted to construct of the transgenic plants wliich are resistant to oxidative stresses including ozone with B. mpestris cytosolic glutathione reductase cDNA using the binary vector system of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The 1.8kb B. campe

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of thiol compounds, -mercaptoethanol(-ME) and cystearrone with buffalo rat liver cell(BRLC) co-culture on the development and intracellular glutathione(GSH) concentrations of bovine embryos produced by in vitro inaturation(IVM) and in vitro fertilization(IVF). Bovine IVM /IVF embryos developed to 2~8 cell stage were co-cultured with BRLC in GRlaa with or without thiol compounds. The developmental rate beyond morulae stage in CRlaa containing 0, 10,25 and 50M -ME with BRLG were 63.0, 74.0, 72.3 and 77.1%, respectively. And the developmental rate with 0, 25, 50 and 75M cystearnine with BRLC were 69.6, 77.6, 81.0 and 76.8%, respectively. The developmental rate beyond morulae stage of GRlaa containing thiol compound with BRLG group was higher than that of control group. The intracellular GSH concentrations of blastocysts cultured for 5 days in GRlaa containing 0 and 50M -ME or cysteamine with BRLG were 81.2 and 86.4, 83.2 and 84.2pM, respectively. The intracellular GSH concentrations of blastocysts in GRlaa containing thiol compounds with BRLG was slightly higher than that of control group The cell numbers of blastocysts were not difference in all experimental groups. These results indicate that thiol compounds with BRLG co-culture was increased the percentage of developed into morulae and blastocysts, and intracellular GSII concentrations of blastocysts embryos.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of thiol compounds with bovine oviduct epithlial crlls(BOEC) co culture on development and intracellular glutathione(GSH) concentrations of bovine embryos derived from IVM /IVF oocytes. In experiment 1 and 2, embryos developed to 2~8 cell stage after in vitro fertilization were co-cultured with BOEC in CRaa with or without -mercaptoethanol(-ME) and cysteamine. The percentage of embryos that developed to morulae and blastocysts in 0,10, 25 and 5OM -ME with BOEC was 48.1, 64.0, 72.9 and 75.9%, respectively. Twenty-five and 5OM -ME groups were significantly higher than in 0 and 1OM - -ME groups(PM cysteamine with BOEC was 50.0, 53.2, 72.0 and 66.7%, respectively. Fifty M cysteamine group was significantly higher than any other groups (Paa with 0 and 5OM -ME or cysteamine were 68.5, 77.8, 78.7 and 80.0pM, respectively. Fifty M -ME group was significantly higher than that of control(P<0.05), but cysteamine group was not. Cell numbers of blastocysts were not difference in all experimental groups. These experiments indicate that -ME and cysteamine with BOEC co-culture can affect the development and intracellular GSH concentrations of bovine embryos produced by IVM /IVF docytes.
