大豆异黄酮对低密度脂蛋白氧化修饰的抑制作用

为探讨大豆异黄酮 (SI)在体外及体内对低密度脂蛋白 (LDL)氧化修饰的作用特点及其与α 生育酚的异同 ,采用密度梯度超速离心法分离制备血清LDL后 ,建立了Cu2 + 诱导LDL氧化修饰反应模型 ,体外向模型中直接加入SI和α 生育酚后 ,通过监测反应体系中硫代巴比妥酸反应物质 (TBARS)和共轭双烯生成量的变化观察它们的作用。体内实验通过先补加SI于高脂饲料喂饲大鼠 ,再测定血中LDL对Cu2 + 诱导氧化的敏感性以反映SI的效果。结果表明 ,体外无论在启动LDL氧化反应前还是反应后加入SI,均显著降低体系中TBARS和共轭双烯的生成 ,并呈现剂量相关关系 ;仅在启动LDL氧化反应前加入α 生育酚显示良好的抑制效果 ,当启动LDL氧化反应后加入α 生育酚则未表现任何防护作用。在大鼠喂饲实验中 ,高脂饲料导致动物LDL对氧化修饰的敏感性增加 ,补加SI对此有明显的拮抗作用。可见 ,在体外SI是与α 生育酚作用有所区别的一类天然抗氧化剂 ,它在体外和体内均能显著抑制LDL的氧化修饰

Inhibition effect of soybean isoflavones on the oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein

In order to investigate the effect of soybean isoflavones(SI) on the oxidative modification to low-density lipoprotein(LDL) and to differentiate the effect of SI and alpha-tocopherol, in vitro and in vivo test were conducted. An in vitro model of LDL oxidative modification induced by copper-ion was established by monitoring the production of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and conjugated dienes after SI or alpha-tocopherol was added. The in vivo test was conducted by feeding rats with a high fat diet supplemented with SI and measured the sensitivity of LDL oxidative modification mediated by Cu2+ in vitro. The results revealed that when SI was added into the in vitro LDL oxidation system, the content of TBARS or conjugated dienes in the system was much reduced with a dose-effect relationship, whether lipid oxidation being initiated or not by copper-ion at 37 degrees C. In comparison with SI, only a significant inhibiting effect on lipid oxidation while alpha-tocopherol was added before the initiation of oxidation. High fat diet induced a rising of LDL sensitivity of oxidative stress, and adding SI to the high fat diet could counteract the sensitivity of LDL oxidative modification significantly. It is concluded that SI is a valuable natural antioxidant different from alpha-tocopherol in inhibiting LDL oxidative modification both in vitro and inv vivo.
