Comparison of Anti-Lipid Peroxidative Effects of the Underground Parts ofNotopterygium incisumandN. forbesiiin Mice

Abstract
Intraperitoneal administration of CCl4 to mice led to significant increases of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-RS), free malondialdehyde (MDA), lipid conjugated dienes and fluorescent lipid peroxidation products in the liver. However, subchronic pretreatment with oral doses of the MeOH extract of either the undergroud part of Notopterygium incisum or that of N. forbesii appreciably suppressed the formation of CCl4-induced lipid peroxidation products. The suppressing potency was more remarkable in the former.
