Abstract: Objective: To study the anti-oxidative effects of Sea Buckthorn Seed Procyanidins (SBSPC). Methods: The hydroxyl radicals scavenging effect was assayed by salicylic acid method, the content of MDA (Malondialdehyde) in liver mitochondria was determined by TBA assay; Hemolysis of RBC and the swelling of mitochondria were detected by spectrophotometric methods. Result: SBSPC had a significant effect on scavenging hydroxyl radicals. It could inhibit the generation of MDA in liver homogenate, swelling of mitochondria and hemolysis of red blood cell induced by ·OH. The conclusion was that SBSPC had the effect of anti-oxidation induced by ·OH.

Key words: Sea Buckthorn Seed, procyanidins, hydroxyl radical, anti-oxidation
