두충의 골다공증 억제 효과를 연구하였다. 난소절제된 흰쥐에 기본사료, 칼슘, 비타민 D$_3$, 비타민 $K_1$를 함유하는 조성물과 두충추출물을 추가한 조성물을 7개월간 투여한 후 기본사료만 투여한 대조군과 비교하였다. 골 흡수 지표로 deoxypyridinoline을 분석한 결과 칼슘 비타민 조성물 투여군의 경우 대조군과 비교하여 9.0%, 두충 추가 조성물 투여군의 경우 26.9% 감소하였다. 경골의 trabecular 골면적을 측정한 결과 칼슘 비타민 조성물 투여군의 경우 대조군과 비교하여 9.9%, 두충 추가 조성물 투여군의 경우 42.0% 증가하여 골다공증 억제 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 두충 추출물이 RBL-2H3 세포의 ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase의 분비 억제와 HaCaT keratinocytes 피부장벽의 회복과 관련한 filaggrin, transglutaminase-1 (TGase-1), cornified cell envelope(CE)의 발현에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase 방출 억제 능은 13% 효능을 확인하였고, 피부장벽기능의 회복과 관련된 인자들은 발현과 활성의 정도가 매우 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 각질형성세포의 분화를 판단할 수 있는 CE 측정에서는 두충추출물이 양성대조군보다 더 좋은 효능을 나타내기도 하였다. 따라서 두충 추출물은 ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase 분비 억제에 효과가 있으며, 손상된 피부장벽강화에 영향을 미치는 각질형성세포의 분화 촉진에 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

This study classified 40 of 10 weeks-old male Sprague Dawley rats which have osteoporosis caused by glucocorticoid(GC) induction into four groups of 10 rats and made the subjects medicated them Eucommia ulmoides Oliver and participate in treadmill exercise. Group I was non-treatment after GC induction; Group II was treadmill exercise after GC induction; Group III was Eucommia ulmoides Oliver feeding after GC induction; Group IV was treadmill exercise and Eucommia ulmoides Oliver feeding after GC induction. In the bone mineral density and bone strength test, there was a statistically significant difference between the group I, II, III compared to group IV(p<0.05). In the osteocalcin level as one of bone formation indexes, there was a statistically significant difference between the group I, II, III compared to group IV(p<0.05). In respect to the calcium there was a statistically significant difference between group I, II, III compared to group IV(p<0.05). In respect to histological findings, the group IV showed mild femur disruption and lytic change on femur section. The above results suggests that Eucommia ulmoides Oliver medicated and treadmill exercise is effective to prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Our previous study demonstrated that aqueous ethanolic extract of hardy rubber tree (HRT; Eucommia ulmoides Oliver) leaves potently inhibited glycation, and that two known flavonols and one new flavonol were the active compounds in protein glycation in vitro using the model system of bovine serum albumin and fructose. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of HRT extract and its flavonols against the glycation of hemoglobin (Hb) in primary cultured rat erythrocytes. The extract at $40-400\;{\mu}g/mL$ and the flavonols at $0.2-20\;{\mu}g/mL$ significantly inhibited Hb glycation in a concentration-dependent manner. They were more effective than aminoguanidine, a well-known inhibitor of glycation. Three flavonols seemed to be responsible for the inhibitory activity of the extract, furthermore, the extract of HRT leaves showed advantages over single isolated flavonols in the inhibition of Hb glycation.

The pharmacological activities on water extracts of Cortex, Ramulus and Folium from the Eucommia ulmoides Oliver were studied, and the following results were observed. The vasodilative action on the rabbit ear blood vessel was recognized in the Cortex, Ramulus and Folium. The spontaneous motility and the contraction induced by Ach., $BaCl_2$ and histamine in the isolated ileum of mice were suppressed and inhibited in the Ramulus only. On the contrary, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities were noted in the Cortex and Folium. Furthermore, the hypotensive effect was recognized in the Folium. The diuretic, bile secretory and anti-fatigue effects were shown in the Cortex and Folium.

The anti-diabetic effects of the methanol extracts of Cortex, Ramulus and Folium part of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver were investigated by the experimental diabetic model in rats. The increased blood glucose level in the diabetic rats induced by alloxan and streptozotocin was significantly lowered and a marked increase in body weight was shown with the treatments of the extracts of Cortex and Folium. The blood insulin level lowered by streptozotocin pretreatment was significantly recovered with the treatment of the extract of Folium. In glucose tolerance test, the extracts of Cortex and Folium displayed a significant inhibitory effect on the glucose level. The extracts of Cortex and Folium also caused a marked inhibition in increased blood pressure in the diabetic rats induced by alloxan.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary Eucommia ulmoides Oliver leaves(EUOL) on the growth performance and meat quality of broiler chicks. The dietary treatments consisted of the control diet(corn-soybean meal basal), and EUOL 2, 4, and 6% diets. The latter three diets were prepared by adding 2, 4, and 6% EUOL to the control diet. Ninety-six Arbor Acre male broiler chicks were randomly allotted to 16 pens; four pens per treatment and 6 birds per pen. The growth performance and carcass weight of broiler chicks fed EUOL diets were not significantly different(P>O.05) from the control birds. Also, the muscle color degrees(L*a*b *)in brolier chicks were similar to each other. The blood concentrations of protein, sugar and glutamic-pyruvic transarninase(GPT) were not different(P>O.05) between control and treatment groups. The blood total cholestrol content was significantly(P<0.05) decreased by the addition of EUOL. However, the addition of EUOL did not change the muscle components significantly. The bone hardness of broiler chicks fed EUOL was significantly(P<0.05) higher than that of control chicks.

두충 (Eucommia ulmoides Oliver)으로부터 항고혈압 활성을 가진 유효물질을 분리하였으며, 두충의 잎, 껍질 및 줄기를 건조한 것과, 건조한 후 붉은 것에 대하여 ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) 저해활성을 실험하였다. 두충으로부터 분리 한 유효물질은 pinoresinol-4,4'-di-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (PG)와 dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 4,${\gamma}$'-di-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (DAG)였으며, 이들은 각각 껍질과 잎에 많이 함유되 어 있었다. 즉 pinoresinol-4,4'-di-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (PG)는 자연 건조한 껍질에 135.12 mg%, 붉은 껍질에 163.94 mg%로 가장 많이 함유되어 있었으며, dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 4,${\gamma}$'-di-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (DAG)는 자연 건조한 잎에 117.43 mg%, 붉은 잎에 133.93 mg%로 비교적 많이 함유되어 있었다. ACE 억제활성은 볶은 잎, 말린 껍질 및 볶은 껍질을 10 mg/ml씩 처리하였을 때, 각각 77.49, 75.52 및 75.36%의 억제효과를 나타내었으며, 두충으로부터 분리한 화합물인 pinoresinol-4,4'-di-O-${\beta}$ -D-glucoside (PG)와 dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 4,${\gamma}$'-di-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (DAC)를 1${\sim}$10 mg/ml 처리하였을 때에 는 67.1${\sim}$85.25% 의 억제활성을 나타내었으며, $IC_{50}$값은 각각 0.6${\pm}$0.2, 0.5${\pm}$0.2 mg/ml 였다. 이것은 PG와 DAG가 두충에서 분리한 천연물임을 감안하면 매우 높은 활성을 가지고 있다고 할 수 있다.
