Objective:
To study the effects of Beijing Almond on D-gal-induced aging rats.
Methods:
D-gal-induced aging rats are fed on almond in three different dosages respectively daily (32.5 g/kg feedstuff, 65 g/kg feedstuff, 97.5 g/kg feedstuff). After 30 days, the level of MDA, the activities of SOD, GSH-Px in serum, and the liquid fluidity of erythrocyte membrane were determined.
Results:
Compared with aging group, the level of MDA in high and middle dose groups decreased significantly (P < 0.01). At the same time, the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and the liquid fluidity of erythrocyte membrane increased evidently (P < 0.01). But the lowest dose group was not significantly difference (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Almond in proper has abilities of anti-oxidation and retarding aging process.
