Abstract: Objective: To observe the oxidative stress in Type Ⅱ diabetic rats after long-term feeding of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) and the effect of GSPE intervention on oxidative stress. Methods: Forty-eight Type Ⅱ diabetic rats that were successfully induced were randomly divided into 4 groups: three GSPE-treated groups and one diabetic model group. Twelve rats fed on normal forage were served as normal control group. GSPE-treated groups were administered with GSPE by gavage at doses of 125, 250, 500 mg/(kg·d). Diabetic model group and normal control group were administered with deionized water also by gavage. After 24 weeks, all rats were killed and blood and organs were acquired. Oxidative indicators (SOD, GSH-Px and MDA) of all tissues were detected. Results: Compared with the normal control group, SOD activity in the serum and liver tissue of the diabetic model group was significantly decreased, so was the GSH-Px activity in liver and muscle tissue, but the amount of MDA in the brain of the diabetic model group was increased; compared with the diabetic model group, SOD activity in the serum, liver and spleen and GSH-Px activity in the serum, liver, muscle and spleen from the intervention groups was significantly increased (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The level of oxidative damage in different tissues from Type Ⅱ diabetic rats is different. Long-term intervention with GSPE can reduce oxidative damage to tissues.
