[Protective effect of orgnoselenium from Se-enriched lactobacillus on lipid peroxidation reaction and NK cell activity in spleen of liver injury mice].

Abstract

Changes of lipid peroxidation reaction and NK cell activity in spleen of CCl4-induced liver injury mice with adding orgnoselenium from Se-enriched lactobacillus were studied to discuss the protective effect of orgnoselenium and its mechanism. Sixty healthy mice (female: male=1:1) were chosen and divided randomly into four groups: control group (group C), orgnoselenium group (group Se), CCl4-injection group (group CCl4) and CCl4-injection plus orgnoselenium group (group CCl4-Se). The liver injury was induced by abdominal injection of CCl4 (0.07ml/100g body weight) on every other day over four weeks. The spleens were collected at the 2nd and 4th week, and spleen NK cell activity, spleen homogenate GSH-Px, SOD, CAT activities and MDA concentration were determined. The results showed that during the entire experimental period, spleen homogenate GSH-Px, SOD and CAT activities in groups C, Se and CCl4-Se were higher or significantly higher than that in group CCl4, and three antioxidant enzyme activities in groups Se and CCl4-Se had no apparent differences from that in group C except that there were significant increases of SOD activity at the 4th week. Spleen homogenate MDA content of group CCl4 increased markedly compared with that of groups C, Se and CCl4-Se, MDA level of group CCl4-Se was close to that of group C, and that of group Se was lower. During the entire experimental period, NK cell activity of group Se was the highest and significantly higher than that of group C at the 4th week, a lowest value was observed in group CCl4, which was lower or markedly lower than that of groups C, Se and CCl4-Se, there were no significant differences between group CCl4-Se and group C. It is suggested that orgnoselenium from Se-enriched lactobacillus can enhance antioxidation ability in normal mice and play an effective role by means of improving and enhancing the spleen antioxidation enzymes and NK cell activities in the process of intervening liver injury.
