Effects of milk processing method on the content of esculentoside A and hepatotoxicity in Mongolian medicine Phytolacca acinosa
To study the effects of milk processing method on the content of esculentoside A and hepatotoxicity in Mongolian medicine
Phytolacca acinosa
.
METHODS
2
High performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light-scattering detection was used to determine the content of esculentoside A in raw
P. acinosa
, milk-soaked
P. acinosa
and milk-boiled
P. acinosa
. The rats were randomly divided into normal group, raw
P. acinosa
group, milk-soaked
P. acinosa
group and milk-boiled
P. acinosa
group, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the rats in the remaining groups were administered corresponding medicinal solutions at a dose of 0.8 g/kg once daily for 15 consecutive days. After the last administration, the levels of biochemical markers [alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST)
]
and inflammatory factors [interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
]
in plasma of rats, as well as the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in liver tissue, were determined. The pathological changes of liver tissue in rats were observed.
RESULTS
2
The contents of esculentoside A in raw
P. acinosa
, milk-soaked
P. acinosa
and milk-boiled
P. acinosa
were 6.46-6.59, 4.79-4.89, 5.04-5.14 mg/g, respectively. Compared with the normal group, the plasma levels of ALT, AST, IL-2 and TNF-α in rats were increased significantly in the raw
P. acinosa
group (
P
<0.05), while the level of SOD in liver tissue was decreased significantly (
P
<0.05); scattered punctate necrotic foci were observed within the hepatic lobules, and hepatocytes exhibited slight vacuolar degeneration. Compared with the raw
P. acinosa
group, the levels of ALT and AST in plasma of rats and the level of MDA in liver tissue were all decreased significantly in the milk-soaked
P. acinosa
group and the milk-boiled
P. acinosa
group (
P
<0.05), while the level of SOD in liver tissue was increased significantly (
P
<0.05). The plasma level of TNF-α in the rats of the milk-soaked
P. acinosa
group
and the plasma levels of IL-2 and IL-6 in the rats of the milk-boiled
P. acinosa
group were all decreased significantly (
P
<0.05); additionally, the degree of liver injury was markedly alleviated in both groups.
CONCLUSIONS
2
The content of esculentoside A and hepatotoxicity both decrease after processing Mongolian medicine
