    Abstract:

    In this study,the anti-oxidant and hepato-protective effect of Spirulina plantensis on D-galactosamine(D-GalN) induced liver injury in mice were investigated.ICR mice were fed a control diet(AIN-93G) or a diet contaning 5% Spirulina plantensis for one week and on the last day of feeding the mice were treated with D-GalN(300 mg/kg body weight,i.p.).The serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase(GOT) and glutamate pyruvate transaminase(GPT) activities,hepatic malondialdehyde(MDA),reduced glutathione(GSH) and vitamin C levels were determined 6 h later by kits or by the method of TBARS,DTNB or DNPH,respectively.It was found that D-GalN induced increased in serum GOT,GPT and hepatic MDA level,but decreased in the GSH and vitamin C content.The results presented here demonstrated that Spirulina plantensis exhibited a significant antioxidant and protective on the D-GalN induced hepatotoxicity.
