Abstract
We compared the effects of chronic exogenous lactate and exercise training, which influence energy substrate utilization and body composition improvements at rest and during exercise, and investigated the availability of lactate as a metabolic regulator. The mice were divided into four groups: CON (sedentary + saline), LAC (sedentary + lactate), EXE (exercise + saline), and EXLA (exercise + lactate). The total experimental period was set at 4 weeks, the training intensity was set at 60-70% VO2max, and each exercise group was administered a solution immediately after exercise. Changes in the energy substrate utilization at rest and during exercise, the protein levels related to energy substrate utilization in skeletal muscles, and the body composition were measured. Lactate intake and exercise increased carbohydrate oxidation as a substrate during exercise, leading to an increased energy expenditure and increased protein levels of citrate synthase and malate dehydrogenase 2, key factors in the TCA(tricarboxylic acid) cycle of skeletal muscle. Exercise, but not lactate intake, induced the upregulation of the skeletal muscle glucose transport factor 4 and a reduction in body fat. Hence, chronic lactate administration, as a metabolic regulator, influenced energy substrate utilization by the skeletal muscle and increased energy expenditure during exercise through the activation of carbohydrate metabolism-related factors. Therefore, exogenous lactate holds potential as a metabolic regulator.

Abstract
The perception regarding lactate has changed over the past decades, and some of its physiological roles have gradually been revealed. However, the effects of exogenous lactate on skeletal muscle synthesis remain unclear. This study aimed to confirm the effects of a 5-week lactate administration and post-exercise lactate administration on skeletal muscle synthesis. Thirty-two Institute of Cancer Research mice were randomly assigned to non-trained + placebo, non-trained + lactate, trained + placebo, and trained + lactate groups. Furthermore, 3 g/kg of lactate or an equivalent volume of saline was immediately administered after exercise training (maximum oxygen uptake: 70%). Lactate administration and/or exercise training was performed 5 days/week for 5 weeks. After the experimental period, it was observed that lactate administration tended to elevate skeletal muscle weight, increased protein kinase B (p < 0.05) and mammalian target of rapamycin (p < 0.05) mRNA levels, and decreased muscle ring-finger protein-1 expression (p < 0.05). Lactate administration after exercise training significantly enhanced plantaris muscle weight; however, it had no additional effects on most signaling factors. This study demonstrated that a 5-week lactate administration could stimulate skeletal muscle synthesis, and lactate administration after exercise training may provide additional effects, such as increasing skeletal muscle.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of 4 weeks of lactate intake immediately after endurance exercise on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in exercise performance. METHODS Seven-week-old mice from the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) were randomly divided into four groups: vehicle intake (SE/CON), lactate intake (SE/LAC), endurance exercise with vehicle intake (EX/ CON), and lactate intake with endurance exercise (EX/ LAC). Mice were subjected to 60-70% VO2max endurance exercise with or without oral lactate intake 5 days/ week for 4 weeks. VO2max measurements (VO2max, time to exhaustion (TTE), respiratory exchange rate, fat oxidation, and carbohydrate oxidation) were recorded at the end of the study period. After 48 h of VO2max measurement, the mice were sacrificed, and three different abdominal fat samples (epididymal, perirenal, and mesenteric) were collected. RESULTS Body weight and abdominal fat mass did not differ between the groups. When measuring VO2max, endurance exercise raised VO2max, and lactate intake after endurance exercise increased TTE. The change in energy substrate utilization during VO2max measurement demonstrated that although the respiratory exchange rate and fat oxidation were enhanced by lactate intake, there were no synergistic effects of lactate intake and endurance exercise. CONCLUSION Lactate intake immediately after endurance exercises can improve exercise performance, indicating the benefit of long-term exogenous lactate intake as an exercise supplement.

Abstract
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN), the lifelong process of formation of new neurons in the mammalian brain, plays an important role in learning and memory. Exercise is an effective enhancer of AHN; however, the molecular mediators of exercise-induced AHN are unknown. Recently, lactate was considered as an important mediator of exercise-induced AHN. Therefore, we hypothesized that exercise with lactate intake could augment exercise-induced AHN. This study was conducted for 5 weeks with 7-week-old ICR male mice that performed mild-intensity exercise (just below lactate threshold, 55-60%VO2max) with or without oral administration of lactate 5 days/week. Cell proliferation, neuronal differentiation, neurogenesis-relevant factors, reference and retention memory, and spatial working memory were evaluated at the end of the experiment. The results showed that AHN was enhanced by lactate intake, but exercise-induced AHN was not augmented by exercise with lactate intake. Nevertheless, exercise-induced improvement in reference and retention memory was augmented by exercise with lactate intake. And spatial working memory was promoted by the co-treatment, also protein expression of hippocampal FNDC5, BDNF, PGC1α, and MCT2 were elevated by the co-treatment. Therefore, our findings suggest that lactate has a potential to be developed as a novel supplement that improves the positive effects of exercise on the hippocampus and its cognitive function.

Abstract
PURPOSE Blood glucose and insulin resistance were lower following hypoxic exposure in previous studies. However, the effect of hypoxia as therapy in obese model has not been unknown. METHODS Six-week-old mice were randomly divided into chow diet (n=10) and high-fat diet (HFD) groups (n=20). The chow diet group received a non-purified commercial diet (65 % carbohydrate, 21 % protein, and 14 % fat) and water ad libitum. The HFD group was fed an HFD (Research Diet, #D12492; 60% kcal from fat, 5.24 kcal/g). Both groups consumed their respective diet for 7 weeks. Subsequently, HFD-induced mice (12-weeks-old) were randomly divided into two treatment groups : HFD-Normoxia (HFD; n=10) and HFD-Hypoxia (HYP; n=10, fraction of inspired=14.6%). After treatment for 4 weeks, serum glucose, insulin and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed. RESULTS Homeostatic model assessment values for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) of the HYP group tended to be lower than the HFD group. Regarding the OGTT, the area under the curve was 13% lower for the HYP group than the HFD group. CONCLUSION Insulin resistance tended to be lower and glucose uptake capacity was significantly augmented under hypoxia. From a clinical perspective, exposure to hypoxia may be a practical method of treating obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bifunctional alpha-bisabolol and phenylethyl resorcinol/TiO2 hybrids were prepared to apply in cosmetic fields, particularly in anti-ageing and hyperpigmentation treatment. The synergistic effect of combined antioxidant and UV filtering properties was achieved through functionalization of TiO2 particles with skin-lightening materials such as alpha-bisabolol and phenylethyl resorcinol. METHODS TiO2 microspheres with a diameter of about 1 μm were synthesized through surfactant-assisted sol-gel method for use as supporting materials in the formation of hybrid composites. Carboxylation treatment was performed for surface modification of the TiO2 surface with carboxyl groups as chemical binders. Esterification reaction between carboxyl groups of carboxylated TiO2 and hydroxyl groups of alpha-bisabolol or phenylethyl resorcinol was performed. The hybrids were characterized using various techniques such as FE-SEM, DLS, EDS, ATR-FTIR, XPS and TGA. For application of prepared TiO2 composites in the field of cosmetics, the anti-radicular antioxidant abilities were evaluated using ABTS and DPPH colorimetric antioxidant assay. RESULTS Organic/inorganic hybrid composites were successfully formed using esterification reaction between the carboxyl groups at TiO2 surface and the hydroxyl groups of the skin-lightening materials. The results demonstrate that both functionalized microspheres show scavenging ability towards the ABTS(•) and DPPH(•) radicals. Specifically, the phenylethyl resorcinol/TiO2 composites exhibited the highest antioxidant ability among the prepared samples owing to the presence of phenolic groups to scavenge free radicals. CONCLUSION Using this strategy, it could be possible to prepare not only inorganic UV filter but also hybrid organic/inorganic materials with multifunctions and advantages which would be in a great demand for cosmetic applications.

Abstract
Autophagy regulates cellular homeostasis through degradation of aged or damaged subcellular organelles and components. Interestingly, autophagy-deficient beta cells, for example Atg7-mutant mice, exhibited hypoinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Also, autophagy response is diminished in heart of diabetic mice. These results implied that autophagy and diabetes are closely connected and affect each other. Although protein O-GlcNAcylation is up-regulated in hyperglycemia and diabetes, and O-GlcNAcylated proteins play an important role in metabolism and nutrient sensing, little is known whether autophagy affects O-GlcNAc modification and vice versa. In this study, we suppressed the action of mTOR by treatment of mTOR catalytic inhibitors (PP242 and Torin1) to induce autophagic flux. Results showed a decrease in global O-GlcNAcylation, which is due to decreased OGT protein and increased OGA protein. Interestingly, knockdown of ATG genes or blocking of lysosomal degradation enhanced protein stability of OGT. In addition, when proteasomal inhibitor was treated together with mTOR inhibitor, protein level of OGT almost recovered to control level. These data suggest that mTOR inhibition is a more efficient way to reduce protein level of OGT rather than that of CHX treatment. We also showed that not only proteasomal degradation regulated OGT stability but autophagic degradation also affected OGT stability in part. We concluded that mTOR signaling regulates protein O-GlcNAc modification through adjustment of OGT stability.

Abstract
634 Background: Tamoxifen is a prodrug that is metabolized to active metabolites, Z-4-hydroxy-N-desmethyltamoxifen (BX) and Z-4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4OH) where CYP2D6 plays a major role in the conversion. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 by ethnicities are well known with CYP2D6*10 in Asians (up to 50% in Koreans), and CYP2D6 *2 and *4 in American Whites as major variant alleles. We analyzed the steady state plasma concentrations of tamoxifen and its metabolites in patients (pts) with breast cancer to evaluate their associations with various CYP2D6 genotypes. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 219 pts on tamoxifen, 20 mg daily as adjuvant therapy for more than 3 months at National Cancer Center, Korea. Plasma tamoxifen, N-desmethyltamoxifen, BX, 4OH were measured by validated HPLC with fluorescence detector, and analyzed according to CYP2D6 genotype groups by Wilcoxon rank sum test. CYP2D6*10, CYP2D6*5 and CYP2D6*2×2 were identified by PCR-RFLP methods, and the rests were classified as CYP2D6*1 (wild type). This study was approved by IRB at National Cancer Center Hospital (NCCNHS04–033) and conducted after informed consent obtained by the patients. Results: Thus far, we measured plasma concentration of tamoxifen and its metabolites for 158 pts among 198 pts genotyped. 59 pts (29.8%) carried CYP2D6*1/*1, 84 pts (42.4%) *1/*10 and 49 pts (24.7%) *10/*10. Other types were CYP2D6*1/*5 (8.6%), *5/*5 (1.0%), *1/*2×2 (2.5%). Pts with CYP2D6 *10/*10 (n=40) demonstrated significantly lower steady state plasma concentrations of BX and 4OH than those with other genotypes (n=118) (BX: 7.9 vs.19.2. ng/ml [95 % CI; 5.5–10.4 vs. 15.8–22.7 ng/ml] p<0.0001; 4OH: 1.5 vs. 2.8 ng/ml [95 % CI; 1.1–2.0 vs. 2.3–3.3 ng/ml] p<0.0001), whereas there were no differences with *1/*10 (n=64) vs. without *10 allele (n=54) (BX: 20.6 vs. 18.1 ng/ml; 4OH: 2.9 vs. 2.7 ng/ml). Basically no significant differences in BX/4OH or other compounds by various CYP2D6*2 ×2 and *5 alleles were observed. Conclusions: The steady state plasma concentrations of BX and 4OH were significantly low with CYP2D6 *10/*10 genotype, and their clinical implications need to be explored.(Supported by a grant NCC-0410590). No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Age- and strain-associated alterations in intestinal and hepatic antioxidant defense enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and lipid peroxidation were examined in Wistar and F344 rats of both strains aged 2 weeks, 2.5, 10 and 23 months. In the small intestine, activities of SOD and GSH-PX and lipid peroxidation were not affected by age or strain difference. Intestinal GST activity was noticeably increased with age in both strains, but somewhat different pattern of age-related changes occurred between two strains. Wistar rats aged 23 months had a significantly higher intestinal GST activity than corresponding age of F344 rats. In the liver, cytosolic SOD activity was not affected by age and strain, whereas GSH-PX and GST activities and lipid peroxidation were markedly influenced by age or strain difference. In particular, hepatic GSH-PX in Wistar rats resulted in a significant increase after 10 months of age and stayed at this level till 23 months of age we examined. Also, Wistar rats showed a higher lipid peroxidation in the liver of 2.5 months old when compared with corresponding age of F344 rats. However, F344 rats did not show any significant age-dependent changes in GSH-PX and lipid peroxidation. In contrast, the GST activity did show much of an age-associated alteration in both strains. Age-associated change in GST activity of Wistar rats was much greater than that observed in F344 rats, especially late in the lifetime (23 months old). It is concluded from our results that age has profound impact on development of some antioxidant enzymes in the small intestine and liver and also strain-related difference in development of antioxidant defense system was observed at least some time of rat life.

Abstract
To examine age-related changes in the morphology of intestinal brush border membrane (BBM; microvilli) and specific activities of intestinal BBM enzymes including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT), and disacchridase, four groups of Wistar rats were sacrificed at 2.5 wk, 5 wk, 5 mon and 23 mon. In an electron microscopic examination, morphologically a less dense BBM structure in the duodenum of rats aged 23 mon was observed than that of rats aged 5 mon. Specific activity of ALP in the duodenum from 5-mon-old rats was significantly higher than from rats aged 2.5 wk and 23 mon. The mucosal tissues from 5-wk-old rats had significantly higher specific activity of gamma-GT than did tissues from the other ages. In sucrase and maltase specific activities, 5-mon-old rats had higher activities of these enzymes than other age groups, especially 2.5-wk- and 23-mon-old rats. There was also a significant effect of site on intestinal BBM enzyme activities in post-weanling rats. Regional gradients of ALP and gamma-GT along the entire small intestine (duodenum > jejunum > ileum) were remarkable. Disaccharidase activities peaked in the jejunum and declined toward both the duodenum and ileum. Taken together the result obtained here suggested that 5-mon-old rats had the most elevated intestinal function. This result also strongly indicated that the structure of the intestinal BBM and development of intestinal BBM enzymes in Wistar rate were markedly influenced by age during the postnatal period.

Abstract
The present study was designed to determine age-related changes in intestinal and hepatic antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and lipid peroxidation in male Wistar rats (n = 8) aged 2 wk, 2.5 mon, 5 mon, 10 mon, and 23 mon. In the small intestine, cytosolic SOD, GSH-PX activities and lipid peroxidation were not affected by age, but intestinal GST activity was noticeably enhanced as age increased. In particular, intestinal GST activity in 23 mon old rats was 3 times as strong as that in 2 wk old rats. In the liver, the activity of hepatic cytosolic SOD was not affected by age, whereas GSH-PX and GST activities in rats aged 10 mon and 23 mon were much stronger than those in rats aged 2 wk, 2.5 mon, and 5 mon. The increased lipid peroxidation in 2.5 mon and 5 mon old rats was observed when compared with that of other groups. It is therefore concluded from the results presented here that age greatly increases GST activity in the small intestinal mucosae and increasing GSH-PX, GST activities and lipid peroxidation in the liver from male Wistar rats.

Abstract
In the carboxypeptidase A-catalyzed hydrolysis of O-[trans-alpha-(benzoylamino)-cinnamoyl]-L-beta-phenyllactate (BACPL) or O-[trans-alpha-(benzoylamino)-p-(phenylazo)cinnamoyl]-L-beta-phenyllacta te (BAPACPL), biphasic kinetic behavior was observed due to the accumulation of an intermediate. At -12 degrees C, conversion of the intermediate into the product was much slower than the formation of the intermediate, which accumulated in quantitative amounts. From the absorbance changes observed during the formation process of the intermediate, the concentration of active site of the enzyme was determined.
