Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is recognized one of the leading metabolic diseases globally, and the younger age population with the disease is rapidly growing, especially in developed countries. Since there has been no approved medicine, losing weight is known to be the only best remedy to control or reverse the disease. Recently, the field of microbiome has attracted much attention to offer more practical choices for patients. Here, we provide experimental evidence that Streptococcus thermophilus LM1012 (LM1012), a safe probiotic strain, is effective for improving NAFLD indexes. In the methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet induced C57BL/6 mouse model, administration of LM1012 promoted marked reductions of aspartate transaminase (23.8%), total bilirubin (27.8%), hydroxycholesterol (64.2%), triglyceride (29.7%) and IL-1β (68.3%) compared to the MCD diet alone group. Also, the histopathological data imply that LM1012 inhibited fat accumulation and inflammation in the liver, which are the key biomarkers for progression of the disease. Together, these findings suggest that human consumption of LM1012 as a healthy nutritional supplement, may be helpful in reducing the risk of liver damages in NAFLD patients.

Dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline(DPPC), Polyphenol 유도체, 그리고 Hematoxylin-Eosin은 5분 동안 산성 상태에서 직접 초음파 처리하여 명확한 표준용액을 제공했다. 25 ℃에서 DPPC 계의 레시틴소포에서 폴리페놀유도체의 흡수특성은 흡수분광학에 의해 분석하였다. 레시틴소포에서 단량체와 이량체 사이의 폴리페놀유도체의 평형은 폴리페놀유도체의 저농도에서 존재했지만 올리고머는 레시틴소포 의 고농도에서 소포안에 형성되었다. 폴리페놀유도체의 일정한 농도에 Bacteriorhodopsin(BR)을 첨가함으로써 DPPC의 상전이동안 폴리페놀유도체의 흡수비율(α/β)이 감소되었다. 기둥이 있는 곳에 라멜라 소포와 uni- and multilamella 응집체의 혼합물이 존재한다. 용출된 기둥과 혼합물사이의 속도 차이가 관찰되었으므로 기둥 용출된 라멜라반응 보다 촉매 효과를 나타냈다. DPPC 및 폴리페놀유도체에 대한 가수분해의 상전이 온도는 DPPC 및 폴리페놀유도체 보다 높게 측정되었다.

The honey bee soluble acetylcholinesterase 1 (AmAChE1) is overexpressed under the overwintering and brood rearing-suppressed conditions. To investigate the role of AmAChE1 in regulating acetylcholine (ACh) titer, ACh concentrations in both the head (central nervous system) and abdomen (peripheral nervous system) were analyzed. ACh titer was significantly lower in both tissues of worker bees under the overwintering and brood rearing-suppressed conditions compared to control bees. Interestingly, the expression levels of choline acetyltransferase (AmChAT) and molecular marker genes of immune systems were significantly reduced in honey bee head under the same conditions. Taken together, ACh titer appears to be reduced via a cooperative interaction of the AmAChE1 overexpression and AmChAT underexpression and to be linked to reduced inmmune responses under the overwintering and brood rearing-suppressed conditions. The roles of AmAChE1 (with little catalytic activity) and AmChAT in the ACh homeostasis and signaling was discussed in the contexts of immune response and longevity regulation in honey bees.

Choline is an amine essential to maintenance of good health. Here, we modified the ion chromatographic method for measuring choline described by Laikhtman & Rohrer and validated by the ICH guideline and applied it to monitoring of choline content in infant formula in the Republic of Korea. The Certified Reference Materials (CRM), NIST 1849a, were used for validation of the modified method. The parameters of validation were linearity, range, specificity, accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ and recovery. The linearity, R2, was above 0.999 and the analytical range was 2.5 to 50 μg/mL. The specificity was confirmed by the retention time (RT) and positive tests with calibration standard and CRM. The accuracy, precision and recovery values were 99.6 ± 2.41 %, 2.42 % and 90.8 - 92.8 %. The LOD and LOQ values were 0.03 mg/kg and 0.17 mg/kg, respectively. Five livestock products inspection agencies voluntarily participated in the collaborative study. The result, HORRAT value was 0.8 which was within the reference value 0.5 – 2.0. The validated method was applied to the analysis of choline in infant formula in the Republic of Korea. The results also conformed to 'The Standard for Livestock Products Labeling'.

To improve the shelf-life of mushrooms, Lentinula edodes GNA01 mushrooms were treated with gel packs containing slow-released chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas at 5~10 ppm for 5 days at 20℃ and the weight loss rate as well as the changes in pH, color and texture properties of the treated samples were investigated. The weight of the control and ClO2 gas treated samples were decreased slightly, and there were no differences during the storage period. However, the weight of the control changed faster than those of the ClO2 gas treated samples during storage period. The pH in the control and in the ClO2 gas treated samples were decreased during storage period, but the samples treated with 5 and 7 ppm ClO2 gas were the least changed. On the other hand, the samples treated with 10 ppm ClO2 gas showed no difference from the other treatments during 4 days, but the pH was lower than that of the control on the fifth day. The lightness of inside and outside in mushroom were decreased whereas redness and yellowness were increased during storage period. However, color changes in the ClO2 gas treated samples were lower than those of the control. Especially, the samples treated with 5 and 7 ppm ClO2 gas were the least changed. The texture of the mushroom were decreased consistently during storage period. The texture of the control changed faster than those of the ClO2 gas treatments during 5 days. Especially, the samples treated 5 ppm ClO2 gas were the least changed.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of amino acids complex and choline supplementation on the antioxidant enzyme activities and oxidative stability of Hanwoo (Korean cattle) beef. Fifteen months-old-Hanwoo steers were assigned into two groups and fed on a basal diets with or without amino acids complex (≥25% L-lysine monohydrochloride+≥8% DL- methionine)+choline (≥25% choline chloride) for 12 months. After slaughter, the M. longissimus from carcasses were stored at 4℃ for 7 days. Catalase, glutathione peroxidase and total superoxide dismutase activities were found to be unaffected by supplementation of amino acids+choline. After 2 days of storage, significant decline (p<0.05) in lipid oxidation (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS) was observed when supplemented with amino acids+choline. However, supplementation of amino acids+choline maintained meat color as indicated by higher CIE L* (Lightness), a* (Redness), b* (Yellowness) and C* (Chroma) values during storage. It was therefore concluded that supplemental amino acids+choline could stabilize the lipid oxidation stability and meat color in Hanwoo beef.

콜린은 정상적인 세포벽의 기능, 아세틸콜린의 합성, 지질의 운송, 그리고 매칠기의 공급원으로서 중요한 유기화합물이다. 콜린의 보충이 콜린성 신경세포의 활성을 통해 학습 및 기억력 향상에 효과가 있다는 연구 보고를 토대로, 시중에서 시판되는 많은 우유제품 속에 콜린 함유량을 증가시켜 뇌를 좋게 하는 기능성 식품으로 판매되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 효소측정법을 이용하여, 시중에서 판매되고 있는 전유와 첨가우유들을 5개 회사의 제품을 대상으로 콜린의 함량을 분석하였다. 콜린의 표준용액을 이용하여 구한 표준곡선은 0.00316의 기울기와 0.998의 r2값을 나타내었다. 회수율은 89.8-97.6 %로 양호한 값을 나타내었다. 분석한 우유에서의 콜린함유량은, 전유에서는 14.56-15.19 mg/100 g이었고, 첨가우유에서는 4.11-11.50 mg/100 g을 나타내었다.

Choline is important an organic compound for normal membrane function, acetylcholine synthesis, lipid transport, and methyl metabolism. In biological tissues and foods, there are multiple choline compounds that contribute to choline content. There are so many analytical methods for choline determination, such as radioisotopic, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. However, these existing methods are expensive, unmanageable, and time-consuming. In this study, we modified enzymatic method, which is applicable for the determination of choline in milk and infant formulas, and applied to bovine serum and muscle. The calibration curves were linear with higher correlation coefficients than 0.994 . Recoveries obtained by calibration curves from the spiked bovine serum and muscle samples varied between 70.6 and 85.2%. The method may be suitable for use as a routine method in the determination of choline for biological tissue and food samples.

This experiment is carried out to study effect of choline-deficient diet on serum and liver lipid contents of male rats. The experimental animals use 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing about 100±3g. They are classified into 7 groups and fed to experimental diets which are composed of 0.8% choline-supplement of deficient diets in addition to 14% corn oil, 14% corn margarine and 14% lipids mixed with 4% corn oil and 10% corn margarine, respectively. After feeding for 4 weeks, I measure lipid concentration of serum and liver, and the result are as follows. 1. The choline-deficient diet group decreases slightly the rates of weight gain and feed efficiency as compared with those of the choline-supplement diet group, but increases liver weight. 2. The choline-dificient diet group decreases the serum concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), free cholesterol, HDL-choelsterol, VLDL, LDL-cholesterol and phospholipid (PL), but increases the contents of triglyceride and the ratios of cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride/PL, and indicates no remarkable-difference in the ratio of TC/PL. 3. As compared with the choline-supplement diet group, the choline-deficient diet group contains the higher liver contents of total lipids, free cholesterol and triglyceride, and gives little difference in the liver contents of total cholesterol and phospholipid(PL), and presents the higher ratios of VLDL, LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and TG/PL in the liver.4. In the choline-deficient diet group, the coutents of serum and liver lipid is not influenced by the kind of dietary fat. On the other hand, the choline-supplemented diet group indicates a significantly lower content of phospholipid in the corn margarine-added diet group than in the corn oil-added diet group. As aforementioned results, I think that the choline-deficient diet induces fatty liver in male rats without relation to kind of fatty acid, and cholines-upplement diet with saturated fatty acid makes the more decrease of liver phospholipid than that with polyunsaturated fatty acid.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of DDGS hydrolysate (H-DDGS) and rumen-protected lysine-choline complex (RPLC) on milk production and blood metabolites in dairy cows. Feeding trials was performed to latin-square design using the 4 mid-lactational cows for 8 weeks, and treated with T1 (H-DDGS 1.1 kg), T2 (H-DDGS 0.73 kg + RPLC 0.15 kg), T3 (H-DDGS 0.37 kg + RPLC 0.30 kg) and T4 (H-DDGS 0.37 kg + RPLC 0.15 kg) according to the content of protein source. Dry matter intake (DMI) of TMR and average weight showed no significant difference between treatments. The milk production of T1, T2 and T4 were significantly higher than T3 treatment (p < 0.05), and milk/DMI efficiency tend to increase in the T1. Milk components showed no significant difference between treatments, however, the milk protein of T2 increased to 0.15% than T1. Also blood metabolites showed no significant difference between treatments. But T-CHO level numerically represented a lower trend in the treatments of adding to RPLC compared with T1. This result suggests that the high level (1.1 kg) of H-DDGS is expected to improve the feed utilization without the negative impact on weight gain, feed intake and milk production as the lactation stage of dairy cows proceeds, and 0.15 kg of RPLC under the same feeding conditions of H-DDGS may be useful on fat metabolism.
