The lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde production) and alteration in hepatocyte membrane (leakage of GPT) were estimated. Hepatic subcellular organelles were also isolated and incubated with or without blumea flavanones, then injured by FeSO 4 ascorbate. The generation of malondialdehyde(MDA) was measured. It was found that BFs 10 and 100 μmol·L 1 inhibited the MDA generation and GPT (glutamic pyruvic transaminase) leakage out of hepatocytes that were induced by CCl 4 or FeSO 4 cysteine. BFs could prevent lipid peroxidation initiated by FeSO 4 ascorbate in subcellular organelle suspension. Among BFs, BF 2 possessed the strongest activity. Conclusion: Blumea flavanones possess antioxidation activities that protect monkey′s hepatocytes and hepatic subcellular organelle against injuries induced by FeSO4 or CCl 4.展开更多
