Abstract

Objectives : Anti-oxidation activities of Malvae Semen and Abutili Semen were compared and evaluated. Methods : We tested the anti-oxidant effect through in vitro experiment and in vivo experiment that induced oxidative stress using ethanol. Results : 1. In the anti-oxidative activities of Malvae Semen and Abutili Semen they had high effects in case of the scavenging activitie of DPPH and superoxide anion radical, and inhibitory effect of linoleic acid oxidation. 2. Malvae Semen had large quantities of phenolic compound than Abutili Semen, but the anti-oxidative activity of Malvae Semen was weaker than that of Abutili Semen. 3. The anti-oxidative effect of Abutili Semen was more strong than that of Malvae Semen in the rat stressed by ethanol. Conclusion : Anti-oxidation activities of Abutili Semen were stronger than those of Malvae Semen. Therefore, the complementary usage of Malvae Semen and Abutili Semen can be considered.
