Abstract: Objective: To study the effects of dietary nucleotides on anti-oxidation and its mechanism on newly weaned mice under stimulation. Method: To determine changes on hepatic and intestinal glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX), malondialdehyde(MDA),alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and myeloperoxidase(MPO)by nucleotides free (NF) and nucleotides (NT) diet mice under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced oxidative response. Results: Hepatic and intestinal GSH, SOD, GSH-PX increased and MDA decreased with nucleotides supplement 4 and 18 hours after LPS stimulation. Conclusion: Dietary nucleotides can help to increase anti-oxidation, protect mice from injury under LPS stimulation. The mechanism might involve in dietary nucleotides saving glycin, glutamine and energy, which increase GSH and further increase SOD, GSH-PX activity.
