[Effects of tea polyphenols on microcirculation and antioxidation in aircrew]
Objective:
To study the effects of tea polyphenols (TP) on bulbi conjunctiva microcirculation (BCM) and antioxidation in aircrew and find out the proper antioxidant for the health protection of aircrew.
Method:
Fourty healthy aircrew were divided into TP group (TP 600 mg/d.po) and control group (placebo) randomly. The effects of TP on microcirculation and antioxidation in aircrew were tested after 20 days.
Result:
Red blood cell (RBC) superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and GSH-PX (Whole blood glutathione peroxidase)/MDA (serum malondialdehyde) ratio in TP group were significantly higher than those in control (P<0.01), and serum MDA level was significantly decreased after TP administration (P<0.05). The numbers of capillaries and blood flow in micrangium were significantly increased, RBC aggregation, ischemia area and A (arteriole)/V (venule) ratio were remarkably decreased in TP group (P<0.01). The total integral value of microcirculation in TP group was significantly reduced in comparison with that in the control group.
Conclusion:
TP can significantly increase the antioxidative ability of aircrew, decrease the BCM disturbance and improve the microcirculatory function.
