The effect of the oral administration ofVitex negundo leaf extract on the levels of enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants were studied in the adjuvant induced arthritic (AIA) rats The levels of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, CAT, GPx, G6PD, GSH and Vit-C were estimated in various groups of the experimental rats. It was observed that the antioxidant enzyme levels in the AIA were significantly low when compared to normal rats. A significant decrease in enzymic antioxidant-SOD, CAT, GPx, G6PD and non-enzymic antioxidant-GSH, Vit-C were observed in the liver of AIA rats compared to the normal rats. These results suggest that the leaf extract ofVitex negundo possesses antioxidant activity.
研究了口服黄荆叶提取物对佐剂诱导性关节炎(AIA)大鼠体内酶促和非酶促抗氧化剂水平的影响。在不同组的实验大鼠中测定了超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)、葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)和维生素C等抗氧化酶的水平。观察到与正常大鼠相比,AIA大鼠体内的抗氧化酶水平显著降低。与正常大鼠相比,在AIA大鼠的肝脏中观察到酶促抗氧化剂SOD、CAT、GPx、G6PD以及非酶促抗氧化剂GSH、维生素C显著减少。这些结果表明,黄荆叶提取物具有抗氧化活性。
