Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : The present study compared Aralia continentalis Root and Angelica pubescens Root used in Korea and China respectively concerning their anti-oxidant effect
Methods : We tested the anti-oxidant effect through in vitro experiment and in vivo experiment that induced oxidative stress using ethanol.
Results : 1. DPPH scavenging activity was stronger in Aralia continentalis Root than in Angelica pubescens Root 2. Superoxide anion radical scavenging activity was similar between Aralia continentalis Root and Angelica pubescens Root 3. The linoleic acid peroxidation inhibition effect was stronger in Aralia continentalis Root than in Angelica pubescens Root. 4. The phenolic component was higher in Aralia continentalis Root than in Angelica pubescens Root. 5. Both Aralia continentalis Root and Angelica pubescens Root increased the concentration of GSH and decreased SOD activity in mice, in which oxidative stress was induced, and the effect was stronger in Aralia continentalis Root. 6. Aralia continentalis Root increased GSH peroxidase activity but Angelica pubescens Root did not have such an effect. 7. Neither Aralia continentalis Root nor Angelica pubescens Root had a significant effect on catalase, ADH and ALDH in mice, in which oxidative stress was induced.
Conclusions : Aralia continentalis Root has a stronger anti-oxidant effect than Angelica pubescens Root. Thus, although Aralia continentalis Root is not an original plant recorded in botanical literature, it may be usable based on the data about its effects.
