Abstract: The scavenging effect of FSE(extracts of Forsythia leaves infusion tea)on hydroxyl radicals(•OH)was studied by salicylic acid method.To study the anti-oxidative effect of FSE,the contents of MDA in tissue and mitochondria and microsome of liver were measured by TBA assay,and the hemolysis extent of red blood cells and the swelling extent of mitochondria of liver were also detected by spectrophotometric methods.The result showed that FSE had the•OH scavenging activity.It could inhibit the generation of MDA,the swelling of mitochondria,and the hemolysis of red blood cells.The conclusion was that FSE had the effect of anti-oxidation.
