It has been known that quercetin, a bioflavonoid widely distributed in fruits and vegetables as dietary-derived flavonoid and exert significant multiple biological effects such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor effects. In addition, it has been shown to have a chemoprotective role in cancer, though complex effects on signal transduction involved in cell proliferation and angiogenesis. The present study investigated whether quercetin can enhance antioxidant enzyme activity (glutathione peroxidase: GPx, superoxide dismutase: SOD, catalase: CAT) and regulate the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the presence of vitamin E, L-ascorbic acid, reduced glutathione (GSH) on B16F10 murine melanoma cells. After 48h treatment of cells with quercetin in the presence of vitamin E, L-ascorbic acid, GSH, we measured the cytotoxicities by MTT assay. The cells exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition in their proliferation in the presence of vitamin E, L-ascorbic acid, GSH respectively. We also investigated the effects of antioxidant enzyme activity and ROS generation. The antioxidant enzyme activity of quercetin in the presence of vitamin E was stronger than GSH, L-ascorbic acid, the same treatments decreased ROS generation in B16F10 murine melanoma cells. Taken together, these result demonstrate that the antioxidant effect of quercetin can enhanced in the presence of vitamin E and it might plays an important role in anti-oxidative effects.

Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. Antioxidant stress and inflammatory reactions are important causes of neurodegenerative diseases and are major causes of PD. Many animal experiments have been aimed at treating PD using the antioxidant effects of various traditional medicines and dietary supplements. This review reports the research investigating the antioxidant effects of herbs in in vivo PD models. Methods: The study consisted of a database search for articles related to PD and herbal treatments using the OASIS, NDSL, KTKP, Korean KISS, PubMed, Science Direct, CNKI, Wanfang, and J-STAGE databases. The search period was limited from the start of the search engine application to November 14, 2019. Studies were selected to confirm the antioxidant effects of herbal medicines in an in vivo PD model. Results: Eighty-two studies were summarized for plant species, extracts (or compounds), animal models, neurotoxins, and functional results. The most frequently used herbal materials were Bacopa monnieri, Camellia sinensis, Centella asiatica, and Withania somnifera. MPTP and 6-OHDA were the most commonly used neurotoxins for inducing PD. Most studies confirmed an increased expression and activation of antioxidant enzymes and a decrease in oxidative stress. Herbal materials showed their antioxidant effects regardless of the order of treatment and confirmed their possible use as treatments for the prevention and treatment of neurodegeneration. Conclusion: Many herbal medicines have antioxidant effects and are likely to be effective in delaying neurodegenerative damage by inhibiting or reducing oxidative stress by expression of antioxidant enzymes.

Egg yolk is widely used to extract lecithin, which is utilized in the food and cosmetics industry. After lecithin is removed, the rest of egg yolk is generated as a by-product. Thus, it is necessary to properly utilize it. In this study, egg yolk protein extracts were produced using ethanol (EYE-E) and water (EYE-W). Their antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects were then evaluated. Antioxidant activities of EYE-E and EYE-W were determined using cellular antioxidant capacity (CAC) assay and comet assay. EYE-E and EYE-W showed significant (p<0.05) scavenging effects on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a dose dependent manner. At a concentration of 50 ㎍/mL, EYE-W showed higher (p<0.05) antioxidant activity than EYE-E. EYE-E and EYE-W also exhibited protective effects against DNA damage caused by oxidative stress. After treatment with EYE-E and EYE-W, DNA damage level of 48.7% due to oxidative stress was decreased to 36.2% and 31.8% levels, respectively. In addition, EYE-E and EYE-W showed immunomodulatory effects by regulating Th1 cytokines (TNF-α and IL-2) and Th2 cytokines (IL-10 and IL-4) in Balb/c mouse splenocytes. These data suggest that EYE-E and EYE-W could be used as functional food ingredients with excellent antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities in the food industry.

본 연구에서는 다양한 생리활성이 보고된 폴리페놀 화합물인 resveratrol의 항산화 활성과 산화촉진 작용을 세포 내에 조성될 수 있는 여러 pH 조건에서 시간별로 분석하고, resveratrol의 세포독성에 미치는 antioxidant들의 작용을 조사하였다. Resveratrol을 pH 6.5에서 저장하였을 경우 pH 7.4에서 저장하였을 때보다 유의적으로 높은 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 나타내었다. Resveratrol을 pH 8.0에서 저장시 항산화 활성을 나타내지 않았으며, 오히려 다른 조건에서 보다 현저히 많은 $H_2O_2$를 생성하는 산화촉진 효과를 나타내었다. Resveratrol의 HeLa 세포에 대한 독성은 SOD, NAC, glutathione, ascorbic acid 등과 같은 antioxidant 존재하에 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 이러한 독성의 강화는 첨가된 antioxidant 의 농도에는 크게 영향 받지 않았다. 본 결과는 resveratrol이 세포 내 pH 환경에 따라 antioxidant 또는 $H_2O_2$와 같은 활성산소종을 생성하는 prooxidant로 작용할 수 있으며, resveratrol로부터 생성되는 활성산소종의 제거가 세포독성을 증가시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.

This study analyzed the antioxidant properties of Equisetum arvense and its effects on serum factor levels in mice fed a high-fat diet. The aim was to establish a new effective resource for biologically active materials. E. arvense stem and root extracts were obtained using deionized water at $95^{\circ}C$, and 70.5% ethanol at $85^{\circ}C$. These extracts were used to analyze the total phenolic compounds and antioxidant (ABTS, DDPH, and FRAP) activities. The effects of prepared ground samples were evaluated by feeding them to mice. E. arvense extracts showed strong antioxidant effects. The caffeic acid content was highest in the 70.5% ethanol extract of the vegetative stem, as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The blood concentrations of insulin and leptin were significantly lower in mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with extracts of the root, reproductive stem, and vegetative stem of E. arvense than in mice fed only a high-fat diet. These results suggest that the polyphenolic compounds in E. arvense extracts exert various antioxidant effects. The stems and root of E. arvense can lower the blood levels of insulin and leptin, even after consumption of a high-fat diet.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) disrupt the cellular redox balance, exert cytotoxic effects, and consequently promote the development of various diseases in humans. Previous studies have reported that antioxidants counteract the adverse effects of ROS. Several studies examine the whitening effects of various agents based on their ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity. Tyrosinase is a critical enzyme involved in the synthesis of melanin, which protects the skin against radiation. Various agents exhibiting antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities have been synthesized. However, these synthetic drugs are associated with toxicity, decreased safety, and poor skin penetration in vivo, which has limited the clinical application of synthetic drugs. This study examined the antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities of some microalgae. The methanol, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate extracts of four microalgal species (Tetraselmis tetrathele, Dunaliella tertiolecta, Platymonas sp., and Chaetoceros simplex) were prepared. The physiological and whitening effects of microalgal extracts were investigated by measuring the antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. The ethyl acetate extract of D. tertiolecta exhibited the highest antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Future studies must focus on examining the whitening effects of microalgae on cell lines to facilitate the development of microalga-based therapeutics for skin diseases, functional health foods, and whitening agents. Thus, microalgae have potential applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries.
