RESUMO
Objective To extract phycobiliproteins from Porphyra haitanensis,find out the optimum extraction conditions and investigate the antioxidation activity of phycobiliproteins in vitro and anti-oxygen free radical in vivo.Methods Porphyra haitanensis was extracted with deioned-water at 40 volumes for 6 days and tissue-triturated for 2 minutes.The crude phycobiliprotein(CPP) was purified by precipitating with 45% ammonium sulphate and dialyzing.The scavenging activities of the crude phycobiliprotein on?OH of the system of 1,10-phenanthroline-Fe(Ⅱ)/H2O2 and O-2? of pyrogallol autoxidation were studied.And the mice were treated by gastric incubation with crude phycobiliprotein,at doses of 100,200,300mg?kg-1?d-1.The activities of erythrocyte catalase(CAT) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),serum superoxide dismutase(SOD) and the content of erythrocyte MDA in mice were determined on the 25th day after treatment.Results CPP could scavenge free radicals,and also can increase the activities of erythrocyte CAT,GSH-Px,serum SOD and decrease the content of MDA significantly.Conclusion The crude phycobiliprotein from Porphyra haitanensis has antioxidation activity in different ways.
RESUMO
The unicellular red alga, Porphyridium , can be artificially cultivated. Some of very useful bioactive substances such as phycobiliproteins? polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and sulfated polysaccharides, which are synthesize by Porphyridium , have promising applications. This paper deals with the study of the character, production and application of Porphyridium.
