ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the synergistic effect of zinc and vitamin C on the anti-oxidative ability of sport training mouse. Methods 30 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, blank control, normal saline solution, zinc , vitamin C and zinc + vitamin C. After 3 weeks of treatment, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the serum, liver and brain were determined. Results Compared with the control, the activity of SOD in the serum, liver and brain of the mice treated with zinc and vitamin C significantly increased, the content of MDA showed a significant decrease, the combination of zinc and vitamin C presented the best effect. Conclusion Combination of zinc and vitamin C has a significant synergistic effect in improvement of anti-oxidative ability.
