Abstract:
Radix Polygoni multiflori has been used Vietnamese traditional medicine for a long time. This paper presented the remarkable antioxidant effects of the AcOET extract from Radix Polygoni multiflori with evidences obtained from various antioxidant tests: inhibition of lipid peroxidation in cell hemogenates, of anion superoxide production, stimulation of SOD activity using Ransod kits. The extract protected the splenocytes from H20¬2- induced injuries and protected brain cells from oxidative stress caused by an ischemia/reperfusion course. These results suggested that application of Radix Polygoni multiflori as antioxidant agent will be beneficial in prevention and treatment of diseases of the elderly
