Effects of Spirulina phycocyanin on antioxidant capacity of ethanol-induced oxidative stress mice / 中国生物制品学杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To investigate the effect of Spirulina phycocyanin on antioxidant capacity of ethanol-induced oxidative stress mice.Methods Forty-eight female KM mice were selected and randomly divided into four groupsThe blank group,model group,low-dose group and high-dose group,12 for each group. Mice in low-dose and high-dose group were given0. 15 g/kg and 0. 30 g/kg phycocyanin by intragastric administration,once a day,continuously for 42 d,and the body mass of mice were weighed. Fasting for 16 h(overnight)after the last intragastric administration,50% ethanol was given once at 12 mL/kg body mass. The mice in model group were only given 50% ethanol by intragastric administration,while the mice in blank group were not given intragastric administration. After 6 h,the blood samples were collected and the sera were separated and detected for the content of 8-isoprostane by corresponding kit. The liver tissues of mice in each group were taken aseptically. After grinding and centrifuging,the supernatant was taken and detected for the contents of protein carbonyl,glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and reduced glutathione(GSH)with corresponding kits. The correlation between mouse body mass and GSH was analyzed.Results Compared with the blank group,the body mass of mice in the model group increased,while the difference was not significant(F = 1. 585,P > 0. 05);the contents of 8-isoprostane in serum,protein carbonyl and GSH in liver tissue significantly increased(F = 11. 697,13. 582 and 17. 213 respectively,each P < 0. 05);the content of GSH-Px in liver tissue decreased,while the difference was not significant(F = 5. 978,P > 0. 05). Compared with the model group,the body mass of mice in low-dose and high-dose groups decreased significantly(F = 4. 125 and 18. 842 respectively,each P < 0. 05);the contents of 8-isoprostane in serum and protein carbonyl in liver tissue decreased significantly(F = 10. 695～40. 512,each P < 0. 01);the contents of GSH-Px and GSH in liver tissue significantly increased(F = 42. 65～76. 379,each P < 0. 01). The content of GSH in liver tissue was negatively correlated with the body mass of mice(R2= 0. 013 49,P > 0. 05).Conclusion Phycocyanin reduced the oxidative damage,improved the antioxidant capacity,and reduced the body mass of ethanol-induced oxidative stress mice.
