초록
Objectives : This study was done to examine the antioxidant actions of free radicals caused by Banryong-hwan in blood.. Methods : Twelve week-old SD rats were divied into normal group, control group and HTG group. Control and HTG groups were age-induced with D-galactose, and extract of Banryong-hwan(BRH) was administerd to BRH group for six weeks. After then, blood was taken, and activities of SOD and GSH-px in erythrocytes were measured, as well as TBARS levels and concentrations of total lipid tryglyceride in plasma. Results : 1. The activities of SOD and GSH-px in erythrocytes were significantly increased in the BRH group compared with control group. 2. The concentration of total lipid was significantly decreased in the BRH group compared with control group. The values of TBARS and the concentrations of tryglyceride in plasma showed a tendency to decrease but they were not remarkable. Conclusions : Judging from the above findings, it is suggested that Banryong-hwan decrease the activities of free radical, the concentrations of lipid in plasma and generate enzyme which form lipid peroxide.
