This study was conducted to determine the effect of a natural polyphenolic isoflavone antioxidant (Glabridin) on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. Determination of the extent of LDL oxidation was done by measuring the formation of Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). After oral administration of licorice-root ethanol extract to healthy subjects for 6 months, the subjects' oxidative stress level as well as plasma LDL oxidation reduced by 20%. We concluded that dietary consumption of glabridin protects LDL from oxidation.
本研究旨在确定一种天然多酚类异黄酮抗氧化剂(光甘草定)对低密度脂蛋白(LDL)氧化的影响。通过测量硫代巴比妥酸反应性物质(TBARS)的形成来确定LDL氧化的程度。在健康受试者口服甘草根乙醇提取物6个月后,受试者的氧化应激水平以及血浆LDL氧化降低了20%。我们得出结论,饮食中摄入光甘草定可保护LDL免受氧化。
