Methods Sprague Dawley rats were fed the mercury-contaminated rice produced from Wanshan area for 90 days. The antioxidant status and the free radicals in rat serum were evaluated. Results High mercury accumulation in organs of rats fed the mercury-contaminated rice confirmed the server pollution of mercury in Wanshan mining area. The intensity of electron spin resonance （ESR） signal increased by 87.38% in rats fed the rice from Wanshan compared with that in the control rats fed the rice from Shanghai, suggesting that chronic dietary consumption of rice from mercury mining area could induce an aggravation of free radicals. Feeding the mercury-contaminated rice was associated with significant decreases in the antioxidant enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase （SOD） and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） and concentration of serum nitric oxide （NO）, but it had no effect on serum nitric oxide synthase （NOS） activity. Feeding the mercury-contaminated rice raised the level of serum malonyldialdehyde （MDA）, indicating the occurrence of oxidative stress. Conclusion The long-term dietary consumption of mercury-contaminated rice induces the aggravation of free radicals and exerts oxidative stress.展开更多

We examined the scavenging effects of PCF on superoxide anions ( O?2 ), hydroxyl radicals (OH·), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and the inhibiting capacity of PCF on peroxidation of linoleic acid. Our experiment suggested that PCF could scavenge oxygen free radicals including superoxide anions ( O2? ) (IC50 =0.3 mg/ml), hydroxyl radicals (OH·) (IC50 = 0.2 μg/ml) generated from the reaction systems and effectively inhibit the oxidative activity of ONOO- (IC50 = 0.2 mg/ml). At 1.25 mg/ml of PCF, the inhibi- tion ratio on lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid was 43 %. The scavenging effect of PCF on O?2 , OH· and ONOO- free radicals were stronger than those of vitamin C but less on lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid. Thus PCF could scavenge free radicals and inhibit the peroxidation of linoleic acid in vitro. It is an anti- oxidant from marine products and potential for industrial production in future.展开更多
