Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study effects of polysaccharide of Radix Ranunculi Ternati (PRT) on immunological function and anti-oxidation activity of mouse.
METHODCell proliferations of splenocyte, thymocyte and peritoneal macrophage were measured by MTT colorimetry. The phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophage was measured by neutral red colorimetric method. The disoxidation power of PRT was measured by Prussian blue method. The clearing effect of PRT on hydroxyl radical was measured by salicylic acid capture method. The clearing effect of PRT on superoxide anion free radical was measured by pyrogallol auto oxidation method.
RESULTPRT among 25-400 mg x L(-1) could enhance thymocytes and spleen lymphocyte proliferation and macrophage phagocytosis. PRT(200 mg x L(-1)) has the strongest macrophage proliferation. PRT in different concentration has shown some disoxidation effects. PRT in 8 g x L(-1) has nearly the same ability of clearing x OH by Vit C with the same concentration. The clearance rate of PRT on O2*- is 95.39%.
CONCLUSIONPRT can enhance the cell proliferation capability of thymocytes, spleen lymphocytes and peritoneal macrophages. PRT can enhance macrophage phagocytosis in a dose-response relationship. PRT has saome disoxidation power and strong ability of clearing x OH and O2*-.
