ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate protective effect of ethanol extract of Forsythia suspensa flower(FFE)on mitochondrial injury induced by free radicals,antioxidation and superoxide anion(O ?-__2)scavenging activities and anti-aging mechanism.METHODS:
Thiobarbituric acid(TBA)colorimetric method was used to determine malondialdehyde(MDA).Spectrometric method was used to measure the swelling of mitochondria and activities of scavenging O ?-__2 which was produced by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NADH)-4-Nitrobluetetrazolium chloride(NBT)-N-Methylphenazonium methyl sulfate(PMS)system.The neck back of mice were injected subcutaneously with D-galactose to induce aging model at a dose of 100 mg/(kg?d)for 7 weeks.The effects of FFE on the activities of catlase(CAT),surperoxide dismutase(SOD)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and anti-hydroxyl radical were assayed by ammonium molybdate colorimetry,xanthine oxidase method,dithiodinitrobenzoic acid colorimetry and Fenton reaction colorimetry in vivo respectively.RESULTS:
FFE could inhibit mitochondrial injury and swelling induced by Fe 2+-L-Cys in a concentration-dependent manner and also had significant O ?-__2 scavenging effect.Moreover,the activities of CAT,SOD,GSH-Px and anti-hydroxyl radical in mice liver homogenate were increased significantly by FFE.CONCLUSION:
FFE protects mitochondria by scavenging reactive oxygen species,and increasing the activities of antioxidase.So FFE has the pharmaceutical values of antioxidant and anti-aging.
