The ameliorate effect of anthocyanin onMouse testis damage / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effect of Anthocyanin (Ay) on Cadmium-Induced Mouse testis Damage.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Mouse testis damage model were constructed and testis malonaldehyde (MDA) and protein carbonxyl content (PCO), as well as catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The intoxication of cadmium can cause the increase of MDA and PCO content in mouse testis (P < 0.05), however, the activities of SOD and CAT were altered (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Ay have the strong potent to scavenge free radicals, owing to its special chemical structures, and act as a protector to inhibit the oxidative stress induced by cadmium.</p>
