Abstract: To study the effects of procyanidins extract from the lotus seedpod(LSPC)on liver lipid peroxida-tion.Methods:(1)Liver homogenates were incubatedwi th Fe 2+ and H 2 O 2 invitro;(2)the mice after seven days sup-plementationof LSPC(100,200,400mg /kgbw.d),were treated with a single intragastric feeding of5%CCl 4 oil so-lution(10ml /kgbw).TheactivitiesofSODandthelevelo fLPOinliverandplasmaofCCl 4 intoxicmiceweredetermined affer 24h.Results:In vitro,LSPCcould significantly inhibit the forma tionof liver LPO.In vivo,LSPC(100,200mg /kg)evidently reduced the level of LPOan d increase the activities of SOD.Con clusion:It suggested that LSPCmight effectively protect liver fromthe i njury due to lipid antioxidation.
