This study examined the efects of Lactobacillusacidophilus ATC 43121 (LAB) on cholesterol metabolismin hypercholesterolemia-induced rats. Four treatment groupsof rats (n=9) were fed experimental diets: normal diet,normal diet+LAB (2×106cholesterol, w/w), and hypercholesterol diet+LAB. Bodyweight, feed intake, and feed efficiency did not difer amongthe four groups. Supplementation with LAB reduced totalserum cholesterol (25%) and VLDL+IDL+LDL cholesterol(42%) in hypercholesterol diet groups, alth

Western-style diets increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases. It is suggested that the risk could be prevented by lowering cholesterol concentrations in blood. In the present study, hypocholesterolemic effects of the probiotics isolated from kimchi (Lactobacillus curvatus KFP419, Leuconostoc paramesenteroides KJP421, and Leuconostoc mesenteroide subsp. mesenteroides KDK411) were investigated in hypercholesterolemia-induced rats. There was no difference in growth performance between the rats

Milk is known as a safe food and contains easily absorbable minerals and proteins, including whey protein, which has demonstrated antiosteoporotic effects on ovariectomized rats. This study evaluated the antiosteoporotic effect of whey protein concentrate hydrolysate (WPCH) digested with fungal protease and whey protein concentrate (WPC). Two experiments were conducted to determine (1) efficacy of WPCH and WPC and (2) dose-dependent impact of WPCH in ovariectomized rats (10 weeks old). In Experi

In the year of 2002, the first Korean translation of Finnegans Wake was published for the first time after much meandering of effort and encouragement. During the long assignment of translating Joyce’s work, the great Human Comedy, the translator was “torn by conflicting doubts” and indeed tormented with the struggle between body and mind. Yet, despite it all, today in Korea the highbrow readers as well as the common ones have found the translated text very difficult and obscure to read and unde

Despite the benefits associated with the use of food waste (FW), there are mixed consumer perceptions regarding pork quality harvested from pigs fed FW. Twenty crossbred pigs were selected for the present study. Ten pigs were fed a conventional diet (control group), and the other 10 pigs were given a conventional diet and FW (FW group) during different growth stages. Meat quality in the FW group showed deteriorative qualities with higher lightness and yellowness synonymous to pale soft exudative

This study evaluated the impact of a 6-week intervention combining cervical stabilization exercises and office environment corrections on female office workers with forward head posture (FHP). Participants were divided into three groups: environmental correction (EC), cervical stabilization exercises (CSE), and a combined intervention (EC+CSE). Significant improvements were observed in the neck disability index (NDI) across all groups, with the combined intervention group showing the greatest re

The title of James Joyce’s last work Finnegans Wake has multi-faceted symbolic significances and allusions. The time when Joyce decided on the title is not known and unclear. When he started the work, he revealed it to his wife Nora Barnacle only, but to no one else. In May 1927, through his friend Harriet Weaver he got his siglum for the title of book: □. It, however, remained to be only suggestion and ambiguity. In 1938, to Joyce’s astonishment, his another friend Eugene Jolas correctly guesse

The Exegetical Analysis of Finnegans WakeChong-keon KimThe objective of this paper is to demonstrate how to read Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and how to translate it into Korean. The following three passages, in particular, have been chosen from the text for this purpose: 1) The first passage(FW 336.21-32)shows that the scene of Buckley’s shooting the Russian General, a tale from the Cremean War humorously rendered by Butt and Taff and generally referred to as BUCKLEY AND RUSSIAN GENERAL. 2) The secon
