Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effect of Plantago asiatica L. on antioxidation in rats. Methods: The antioxidative enzymes and LPO of serum, heart, and liver tissues were determined. Results: The activities of superoxide (SOD) in serum and heart were significantly lower than that of the control. The lipid peroxide (LPO) level in serum and heart was markedly higher than that of the control. Serum and liver catalase (CAT) activities in rats fed with high fat were decreased. Activities of liver glutathione peroxidase (GSH Px) in high fat rats were decreased significantly. The production of SOD activities in serum and liver and GSH Px in liver were increased significantly in rats maintained on Plantago asiatica L. supplemented diets, meanwhile serum and heart LPO were reduced. Conclusion: 15g/kg Plantago asiatica L. can increase the antioxidation against lipid peroxide in hyperlipidemic rats.
