Objectives : This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Hasuogamibang (HGB) on hyperlipidemia and antioxidant activity. Methods : For this study, we divided four groups of rats (normal WKY group, normal SHR group, high cholesterol diet and saline-treated SHR group, high cholesterol diet and HGB-treated SHR group), and observed the change of body weight, weight of liver, cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, albumin, histologic change of liver and aorta, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity of liver tissue, and cholesterol gene revelation control efficiency. Results : Total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides were decreased significantly by HGB. However, HDL-cholesterol increased significantly. The tissue of liver and aorta were controlled defect by HGB on histologic study. Lipid peroxidation and SOD of liver tissue was decreased significantly by HGB. Gene revelation of ACAT and HMG CoA reductase in hepatic tissue was decreased significantly by HGB. Conclusion : This study suggests that HOB is significantly effective on hyperlipidemia and antioxidant activity.

Our previous study showed that in vivo treatment of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with protopanaxatriol ginsenosides (PPT) reduces the blood pressure and inhibits the con- tractions induced by endothelium-derived contracting factor (prostaglandin endoperoxide ($PGH_2$) and superoxide anion) in aorta isolated from SHR. The aim of the present study is to examine whether PPT improves endothelial functions in the isolated thoracic aorta of SHR in vitro. Treatments of aortic rings with PPT, purified ginsenoside $Rg_1$ ($Rg_1$) or indomethacin normalized endotheliuln-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine, but not with protopanaxadiol ginsenosides (PPD) and purified ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1). The effects of PPT were dose-dependent. PGH,- and oxygen free radical-inducted contractions in rat aorta without endothelium were inhibited by PPT or $Rg_1$, but not by PPD or $Rb_1$. Contractions induced by PGF2$\alpha$, U-46619, a stable thromboxane A2 agonist or KCI (60 mM) were not inhibited by PPT, $Rg_1$ or $Rb_1$. These findings demonstrate that PPT but not PPD scavenges the oxygen-derived free radicals and/or antagonize the effects of $PGH_2$ in the vascular smooth muscle and may explain the hypotensive effect of ginseng in the SHR.

The characteristics of voltage-dependent ^{45}Calcium$ uptake and norepinephrine release as factors controlling neural activities in the hypothalamus which is an important regulatory site for cardiovascular function wre studied. Two groups of animals : male spontaneously hyperterisive rat (SHR) and age-matched nomotensive wistar rat (NW) were used in this study. Animals at 4, 6 and 16 weeks of age were sacrificed by decapitiation and the hypothalamus was dissected out. Voltage-dependent calcium uptake and norepinephrine release were determined from hypothalamic synaptosomes either in low potassium (5 mM) or high potassium (41 mM) stimulatory conditions by using ^{45}Ca$ isotope and HPLC-ECD techniques. Degrees of voltage-dependent ^{45}Calcium$ uptake and norepinephrine release evoked by calcium uptake in the hypothalamus of prehypertensive phase (4 weeks old) of SHR were significantly smaller than those in NW of the same age. However, in the developmental phase (6 weeks old) and the established phase (16 weeks old) of hyperrtension in SHR, degrees of voltage-dependent ^{45}Calcium$ uptake and norepinephrine release were similar to those of age-matched normotensive wistae eats. These data imply that the deficit in hypothalamic norepinephrine release might be an important underlying factor for the development of hypertension in SHR.

The phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated intracellular signal transduction pathway is considered to be involved in the regulation of blood pressure. However, little information is available concerning the distributional and functional significance of PLC in the genetic hypertensive rats. As the first step of knowing the role of PLC on hypertension, we investigated the distribution of 6 PLC isozymes $(PLC-{\beta}1,\;-{\beta}3,\;-{\beta}4,\;-{\gamma}1,\;-{\gamma}2\;and\;-{\delta}1)$ in the heart and brain, which are concerned with hypertension, in the normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) using the western blotting and immunocytochemistry. The immunoreactivities of PLC isozymes in brain were detected, but there were no distributional and quantitative differences between the WKY and SHR. In the heart, but the immunoreactivities to $PLC-{\beta}1$ and $-{\gamma}2$ in the SHR were higher than those in WKY. In immunocytochemistry to confirm these western blotting data, $PLC-{\beta}1$ and $-{\gamma}2$ were localized in cardiac myocytes and the intensities of immunoreactivity in SHR were stronger than that in WKY. These results suggest that $PLC-{\beta}1$ and $-{\gamma}2$ would have possibility to concern with the establishment of spontaneous hypertension.

We have examined distribution and expression of caveolin-3 (cav-3), one of three caveolin isoforms from 16-wks-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) compared with age-matched control wistar-kyoto (WKY) rats. The expression of cav-3 was increased, whereas expression of PKB/Akt and calcineurin (Cn) was not changed in cardiac tissues of SHR compared to WKY rats. Interestingly, expression of cav-3, PKB/Akt and Cn were decreased in plasma membrane fraction in SHR compared to WKY rats. In H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells treated with phenylephrine ($50{\mu}M$, 48hr) or isoproterenol ($10{\mu}M$, 48hr), the expression of cav-3 was markedly enhanced compared to nontreated cells. Upon immunofluorescence analysis, cav-3 was localized in plasma membrane of control H9c2 cells. However phenylephrine or isoproterenol treatment caused translocation of cav-3 to perinuclear region. These results suggest that cav-3 plays as positive regulators in the development of hypertrophy in cardiac tissues of SHR rats.

To investigate the effect of ginseng on blood pressure (B.P.) in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and essential hypertension ginseng extract was given per se daily in 58 SHR and 35 essential hypertensive patients. SHR were divided into 5 groups according to the dosage of ginseng. In essential hypertension 1,000mg of ginseng extract was given. The B.P. in SHR was measured by tail cuff method. In essential hypertension side effect and changes in various laboratory examinations were evaluated. In SHR ginseng appeared to have hypertensive effect when it is given in small amount(10mg/kg). However, when it is given 60mg/kg/day or more difinite B.P. lowering effect was observed. The hypotensive effect was dosedependant and it lasted for 37days of observation. In essential hypertension in 12 $(80\%)$ among 15 patients hypotensive effect was seen with ginseng administration along and the effect lasted for 12 weeks. In the rest of hypertensive patients it is required addition of diuretics of other antihypertensive drugs to decrease B.P., no appreciable side effect was seen. In laboratory examinations no significant changes were seen except for serum cholesterol, ${\alpha}-and\;{\beta}-lipoprotein,$ and hematocrit. There was some evidence of relationship between plasma renin activity (PRA) and ginseng in hypotensive action.

The antihypertensive effect of $\alpha-Methyldopa$ administered concurrently with timolol or labetalol were studied with spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Every drugs were administered orally once a day after prechecking the systolic blood pressure and heart rate of SHR. The blood pressure and heart rate of SHR were significantly decreased in groups of combination while those of non-combination groups were fallen slightly. Compared with control group, the significant changes of blood pressure was obseved in group of $\alpha-methyldopa$ with timolol(100mg+2mg/kg)and $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetalol (100mg+12.5mg/kg). The group of $\alpha-methyldopa$ with timolo 1 (100mg + 1.0mg/kg) reduced blood Pressure in similar degree as manifested in group of $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetalol (100mg + 50mg/kg). In the group that $\alpha-methyldopa$ was administered concurrently with timolol, the maximum antihypertensive effect and heart rate decreasing effect were appeared after 3hr and 1hr of administration respectively and those effects in group of $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetalol were appeared after 6hr of administration. The acute oral toxicity test was performed using albino mice with $\alpha-methyldopa$ alone, $\alpha-methyldopa$ with timolol (100:1) and $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetatol (4:1), and was found that the $LD_{50}$ of $\alpha-methyldopa$ alone was 1104 mg/kg, $\alpha-methyldopa$ with timolol (100:1) was 1115 mg/kg and $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetalol (4:1) was 354mg/kg.

본 연구는 해조성분 강화염을 본태성 고혈압쥐(SHR)와 정상혈압쥐(WKY)에게 6주간 급여하면서 혈압, 무기질 및 혈청 생화학치 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 실험처리는 laver salt, fucoidan+laver salt(high/low dose), refined salt(대조염)의 4처리로 하였고, 실험동물(SHR/WKY)은 완전임의배치법으로 각각 8마리, 6마리씩 배치하였다. 식염량은 1일 16g을 기준으로 하여, +20% (고염식), -20%(저염식)으로 설정하였으며, 식염은 음용수 형태로 6주 동안 급여하였다. 실험기간동안 수축기 혈압은 해조성분강화염 급여 후 3주까지는 상승하다가 이후 종료시까지 비슷한 수준을 유지(fucoidan+laver salt) 또는 감소하였으며(laver salt), 대조염군(정제염)은 지속적으로 증가하다가 마지막 주에 다소 감소하였다. 실험종료시 A군과 D군의 혈압차는 약 24mmHg로 나타났고, 기준혈압대비 종료시 혈압상승율은 D군의 17.6%에 비해 A군과 C군이 각각 8.2, 7.4%로 낮았다. WKY의 실험 6주의 D군과 C군의 혈압차는 8.5 mmHg로 나타났고, 기준혈압 대비 종료시 혈압감소율은 D군보다 C군에서 더 크게 나타나서 SHR과 비슷한 경향이었다. 혈청 미네랄 중 $Na^+$ 함량은 SHR과 WKY모두 실험군간 차이가 없었고, $K^+$은 SHR에서 fucoidan+laver salt 고염식군(B)이 높았으며, $Mg^{++}$은 WKY에서 해조성분강화염군(A, B, C)이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 혈당과 총 빌리루빈함량은 SHR에서 대조염군보다 해조성분강화염군에서 유의하게 낮았고, WKY 역시 혈당치는 해조성분강화염군이 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 혈청 알부민은 SHR과 WKY 모두 laver salt군(A)이 유의하게 높았고(p<0.05), SGOT와 SGPT활성은 두 동물종 모두 해조성분강화염에서 낮았다. 혈청지질 중 TC농도는 대조염군보다 해조성분강화염군에서 통계적으로 낮았고, TG농도는 해조성분강화염 중 A군과 C군이 유의하게 낮았으며, HDL 및 LDL농도는 A군이 유의하게 높거나 낮았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 해조성분강화염중 laver salt는 대조염군과 같은 양의 식염을 섭취했음에도 미네랄 대사와 혈청 지질성분의 긍정적인 변화 등으로 인해 혈압상승을 적절하게 억제한 것으로 사료되었다.

$C_{20}$이상의 ${\omega}3$ 다불포화지방산을 많이 함유한 어유가 본태성 고혈압쥐(SHR)의 혈압과 혈청 지질상태에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 고등 어유, 대두유, 쇠기름을 식이에 5% 함유시킨 분말식이를 각각 조제하여, 생후 4주된 SHR과 정상혈압 Wistar쥐 숫컷에게 8주간 섭취시켰다. Wistar종의 성장은 세 군 모두에서 8주간 지속적이었으며 고등어유군의 성장율이 5주 이후 에는 다른 군보다 다소 높았다. SHR의 성장은 6주까지는 원만하였으나 그 후 거의 정지상태였고 식이지방군 간의 차이는 거의 없었다. 수축기혈압은 실험초기부터 SHR이 높아서 6주부터는 150mmHg이상의 고혈압을 나타내었다. 식이 8주의 혈압은 SHR에서는 고등어유군이 가장 낮았고, Wistar에서는 세 군 사이에 차이가 없었다. 심장과 신장무게가 SHR에서 컸으며, 현미경관찰에 의하여 SHR 심장조직 endo mysium 과 신장조직의 urinary space 가 축소되었음을 볼 수 있었으나 식이에 따른 조직무게나 구조상 차이는 없었다. 고등어유는 Wistar종과 SHR 모두에게서 혈청 중성지방을 낮추는 효과가 있었고, SHR의 중성지방값이 Wistar종보다 대체로 낮았다. 혈청 총 콜레스테롤과 HDL-콜레스테롤값은 식이군간에 차이는 없었으나 SHR의 HDL-콜레스테롤값이 Wistar종에서 보다 낮았다. 혈청지단백질 분획비를 보면 일반적으로 SHR이 VLDL이 높고 HDL이 낮았고, 고등어유군의 $HDL_1HDL_{2+3}$ 비율이 타군 보다 낮았다. 세 식이지방의 주요 지방산이 혈청지질에 반영되어 혈청 인지질과 중성지질 구성지방산은 세 군이 각각 특색있는 지방산 구성 양상을 나타내었는데 대두유군의 $C_{18:2}({\omega}_6)$의 반영도가 제일 뚜렷하였으나 SHR 에서는 Wistar 종에서 보다 그 정도가 낮았고 고등어유의 $C_{22:6}({\omega}_3)$는 중성지방에서만 주로 관찰되었다. 이러한 지질 구성지방산의 차이가 혈청지질 패턴변화에 중요원인으로 사료된다.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of different fat diets on the serum lipid composition and on the morphology of liver tissue of the spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR), Rats were fed for 17 weeks one of four fat diets, control(corn oil : beef tallow=1:1), beef tallow, grapeseed oil and soybean oil. Blood was withdrawn by heart puncture from each SHR, and used to determine the serum levels of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, trigly ceride and phospholipid. No significant difference in body weight was observed in all diet groups. the total serum cholesterol was significantly lower in SHR fed grapeseed oil than that of other groups. The cholesterol lowering effect of grapeseed oil seemed to results from its high contents of phytosterol and linoleic acid. Also, serum HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid contents were low in all the groups. photochemical microscopic observations of the liver tissue revealed the congestion of sinosoid which is regarded as the characteristics of SHR, but no significant difference was observed among the groups.
