Abstract
|
|
|
This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of red ginseng extract (5.5mg/mouse ip) on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase and catalase in the liver of the gamma ray irradiated male mice. The experimental groups
consisted of
control, red ginseng extract injection group, irradiation (8Gy60 Co) group and red ginseng extract injection after irradiation group. In red ginseng extract injection group. SOD, peroxidase and catalase activities were similar to that in the
control
group. In irradiation group SOD, Peroxidase and catalase activities increased progressively until the 2nd day after the treatment and then decreased thereafter, whereas red ginseng extract injection after irradiation group recovered more rapidly
than
irradiation group. The above results suggested that red ginseng extract injection after irradiation group has the recovery effects on the activities of SOD, peroxidase and catalase after radiation injury in the liver of male mice.
