The Parts of Pueraria thunbergiana Bentham, Puerariae Flos(PF), Puerariae Radix(PR), Puerariae Leaf(PL), Puerariae Sprout(PS) were investigated effects of for DPPH(electron donating ability) radical ability, nitrate reductase activity(NR), superoxide dismutase activity(SOD), catalase activity, lipid peroxidase(LP) and glutathione(GSH).
In vitro, DPPH radical ability and nitrate reductase activity(NR) were increased according to the increasing of PF, PR, PL, PS concentrations. Among others PF, PR were significantly increased to the level of BHT.
In vivo, compared with normal group, SOD(superoxide dismutase) activity and catalase activity were decreased in the acetaminophen treated group. On the other hand, PF, PR, PL, PS in the pretreated groups SOD activity and catalase activity were significantly increased. Among others PF, PR were almost increased to the level of Ascorbic acid. Compared with normal group, lipid peroxidation was increased. Among others PF, PR, PS were almost significantly decreased to the level of Ascorbic acid. In the acetaminophen treated group, GSH activity was decreased by compare with normal group. And in the PF, PR, PL, PS pretreated groups, GSH activity was increased to the control group. Among others PF, PR were almost significantly increased to the level of Asorbic acid.
These results suggest that among others PF was almost increased to the level of Ascorbic acid.
