Abstract:
Aim To study the effect of bioactive compounds from paecilomyces tenuipes(BCPT) on antioxidization and lymphocyte proliferation in chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS) model of depression in rats.Methods Depression animal model was reproducted in CUMS,UV spectrophotometer analysis technique was used to detect the activity of SOD、GSH-PX and CAT,and content of MDA and NO in rat serum;lymphocyte proliferation was tested with MTT method.Results BCPT could obviously enhance the activities of SOD、GSH-PX and CAT,and also significantly inhibit the increase of MDA and NO content in serum in CUMS rats;BCPT decreased the serum from depressive rat inhibited ConA-induced lymphocyte proliferation.Conclusion BCPT produces an antidespressant-like effect in antioxidation and cellular immunological function in CUMS rats.
